Sheridan – The Sheridan College Generals basketball team has added the finishing touches to an already impressive recruiting class for the upcoming basketball season. The Generals finished last season winning 27 games while only losing four.

Jarryd Gearhart a 6’9 sophomore transfer from Indian Hills will play the post for the Generals. Gearhart was an instrumental piece for Warriors last year as they finished the regular season with only one loss, while being ranked No. 1 in the country for the last NJCAA Division I poll. Gearhart played for Green Mountain High School in Wheat Ridge, Colo. Gearhart averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game during his senior year, while being named 1st Team All-State and 1st Team All-Conference.

Tom Parks a 6’5 freshman wing from Cheyenne, Wyo. will anchor the backcourt for the Generals. Parks, who played for Air Force Prep in 2007, stared for Cheyenne Central in 2006. Parks averaged 20 points and six rebounds per game, while being given All-State and All-Conference basketball honors. Parks was also a member of the National Honor Society.

Mari Konate a 6’8 freshman from Janville, France comes to the Generals with an impressive resume. Konate averaged 31 points and 23 rebounds for his club team, while also leading the team in free-throw shooting. Konate, who is a versatile swingman, will be able to play multiple positions for the generals.

Moustapha Diarra a 6’10 post from Saint Victoret, France concluded this years incoming class for the Generals. Moustapha who is a very athletic post will provide additional depth for an already deep position on the block.
