Adams Selects WJC


The Liberty Basketball program is pleased to announce Senior post man Bryan Adams will continue his playing career at William Jewell College. The 6'7 forward chose the Cardinals over 7 other four-year schools. Adams, a two-year starter for the Jays, answered the following questions for the blog:
WHY WILLIAM JEWELL COLLEGE?
I chose WJC for a lot of reasons. First, their academics are great. Secondly, I've known their coaches and players for awhile and I'm very comfortable with them and I really like them. Finally, the opportunity to go NCAA Division II is very exciting and I'm looking forward to experiencing it with my new teammates.
WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO STUDY?
Currently I'm undecided. I had planned to study athletic training or physical therapy but WJC doesn't offer those majors so I might delay those plans and study business over the next four years and then see where I'm at.
ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO JOINING FORCES WITH FORMER JAYS NICK LARSON AND CHRIS WESTON?
Yes! It will be fun. I hope I don't spent too much time in practice banging with Nick under the basket because he'd have an advantage. But if I can beat him up and down the court, I like my chances.
WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE LIKE STAYING IN LIBERTY FOR COLLEGE?
I like Liberty. It's better than a lot of other places. WJC is 4 minutes from my house and it will be great for my parents and high school coaches to come watch our games.
Larson is looking forward to having Bryan as a teammates. He stated, "I'm excited to play with Bryan. I played with his brothers Eric and Shaun while I was in high school and they were very competitive and hard workers. Bryan will be the same way. It's always good to see local talent stay close to home to play."
Bryan will sign with WJC in a ceremony on Tuesday, May 11th at Liberty High School beginning at 3:00.
