GREENVILLE, N.C. – Ezra Ausar, Benjamin Bayela, Quentin Diboundje, Elijah Jones, Kalib LaCount, Saxby Sunderland and Jaden Walker will attend East Carolina ...

He has a tenacious work ethic in the gym and his skill level with the ball as a playmaker and shooter are aspects of his game we are very excited about. He has been part of a great program in the DMV area at the prestigious Flint Hill School, playing for Coach Ricardo Reed. From that experience, as well as his incredible family, Saxby has an advanced understanding of what it takes to be successful as a player and student. He has a strong foundation from his family and former prep coach Tobias Howard. We feel very fortunate to have all of them as a part of our ECU family." "Elijah Jones was one of the very first student-athletes we had the opportunity to visit with when we arrived at ECU. His on-court presence, skill level and feel for the game at his size is very impressive. He has great experience playing at some of the highest levels of international basketball, prep school basketball and of course for a Hall of Fame Coach in Rick Barnes at the University of Tennessee. We are really looking forward to coaching Quentin and having his family in France watch his success as an ECU Pirate." Elijah Jones "Kalib LaCount brings a mentality, skill set and toughness to our program that is truly unique to who he is as a player and as a person. Elijah is a great communicator and plays the game with a high level of energy. He has an aggressive mentality and understands the work ethic it will take to put himself in a position to be successful both on and off the court. "We are thrilled to have Benjamin Bayela as a player, student and most importantly as a person here with us at ECU. Ben has a mature and professional approach to everything he does both on and off the court. Ezra has the ability to play in the paint and on the perimeter and will bring strong defensive versatility to our program." Quentin is an elite athlete that plays the game with a unique combination of physicality, skill and speed on both sides of the ball. Ezra Ausar was the student-athlete that was at the top of that list from day one, as a graduate from Liberty Heights in Charlotte, playing for Coach Michael Wright. Ezra has an incredible family and basketball support system that have helped him develop into one of the top players in the 2022 class here in North Carolina. Ezra is an explosive, athletic forward that possesses legitimate ball skills that are rare for a forward with his size.
