PORTALES, N.M. – The Eastern New Mexico men's basketball team is proud to announce the signing of Brandon Meadows, a 6'3 guard out of Eastern Wyoming College.
 
Originally from Freeport, Bahamas, Meadows will be joining the Greyhounds next year after a two-year playing career at Eastern Wyoming College in which he averaged nearly a double-double at 13.8 points and 9.6 rebounds per game during his sophomore season. The combo guard shot 50 percent from the field to go along with an average of two assists per game and registered 42 steals and 27 blocks to generate a strong impact on the defensive side of the ball.  
 
"When we first saw Brandon play live we knew that his intangibles would be a huge part of his success here with us," head coach Tres Segler said, "Brandon impacted the game in so many different ways. His smooth athleticism is special, and he had several dunks and blocks that were Division I caliber plays. His ability to score the ball in multiple ways will help our scoring attack tremendously."
 
Meadows played for head coach Tim Moser and assistant coach Dwight Smith at Eastern Wyoming College and will bring a toughness and a motivation all the way from the Caribbean as a native of the Bahamas.
 
"I've coached one other player from the Bahamas, and kids from down there are always characterized by their toughness and hunger to compete," coach Segler said, "Brandon is a great example of those character traits. We pride ourselves at Eastern with being tough, and we know that a willingness to compete everyday makes a team hungry and truly successful. Brandon will be a culture leader for us in this way, and we are very excited to see how much he will impact our program. Brandon was honest with me about his motivations for playing basketball and he wants to get a degree from Eastern and represent his family back home in the best ways possible" 
 
Meadows helped the Eastern Wyoming Lancers in a multitude of ways this season including two career high games of 29 points and two other games in which he totaled 25 or more points. He recorded 10 or more rebounds in 14 games as a point guard for the Lancers, including a career high 18 boards against Gillette College.
 
"Our guards will be incredibly tough this next season," coach Segler said. "Brandon can guard all three positions, and offensively we feel that he will be a huge impact at the point guard and scoring guard positions. We feel like he will add firepower and athletic toughness so that we can compete with anyone in the Lone Star."
