July 21, 2020 | Men's Basketball
Graduate Transfer from Southern Utah shot close to 60% from the floor over the past two seasons
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Head Coach Jim Christian announced that Andre Adams will continue his academic and athletic endeavors at Boston College. Adams - a graduate transfer from Southern Utah - has signed his paperwork and will join the Eagles' men's basketball roster for the 2020-21 season. He will have one season of eligibility remaining.
"We are thrilled to add Andre to our Boston College basketball family as a graduate transfer," Christian said. "He is a very skilled player who can score at a high rate, shooting almost 60% from the floor over the past two seasons, and can make an impact on the glass and as a rim protector. As a grad transfer, he adds more veteran college basketball presence to our roster. I'm looking forward to seeing him on the floor."
The 6-9, 230 lb. forward comes to Chestnut Hill after competing for Southern Utah for the past two seasons. Last year, Adams appeared in 23 games for SUU - making 21 starts - averaging 9.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game. Adams connected on close to 64% of his shot attempts from the floor. He posted four double-doubles during the 2019-20 campaign.
As a junior, Adams started all but three of the 34 games in which he played. He averaged 9.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per outing, connecting on close to 60% of his field goal attempts. He scored in double-digits on 16 occasions and posted five double-doubles - including career-highs of 23 points and 14 rebounds at Idaho.
Adams - a consensus three-star recruit out of Westview H.S. in Avondale, Ariz. - signed with Arizona State and appeared in 14 games as a true freshman for the Sun Devils.
