Beas Hamga, the 7-footer from Cameroon who transferred out of UNLV, decided on Valparaiso over Rutgers and South Carolina.
“He decided on Valpo,” his advisor, Mark Adams, said by text.
Ultimately, Hamga decided to stay local.
Hamga signed with UNLV out of Decatur (Il.) Christian and redshirted his first year. He played in just five games this season before deciding to transfer. He was ranked the No. 5 center in the Class of 2007 by Rivals.
He will have two and a half years of eligibility remaining, beginning in December 2009.
“He’s a very good defensive rebounder and shot blocker,” Adams said. “He’s a very good defensive player. Like most African kids he needs to work on his offense. He’s got a nice shot. He can definitely shoot it.”
Hamga will be eligible in the second semester of next year
