North Platte Community College Knights head coach Kevin O’Connor announces three recruits, who have signed National letters of intent to play for the Knights in the 2015 – 16 season.

The players are Jordan Mills from Alliance, Neb., Diontae Champion from Arlington Texas, and Tim Wagner from Galesville, Wis.

Mills, a 6’ 2” guard, played for the Alliance High School Bulldogs. During his senior year, Mills averaged 22.1 points per game, 6.9 rebounds per game and 1.7 assists per game.

Alliance High School head basketball coach Roger Trennepohl said: “Jordan is a skilled player.  We are obviously going to miss him, but a tremendous kid, a good character kid, a great leader on our team. I think he (Mills) will do well in North Platte.  It will be a challenge for him because North Platte is very competitive in the JUCO ranks. It will really show Jordan what he needs to do for his game to get to a four-year school and find out how good he is.”

Champion, a 6’ 7” forward from Lamar High School in Arlington, Texas averaged 19 points a game, 12 rebounds a game and three blocks per game.

Lamar head basketball coach Zach Burks said: “Diontae is a good kid and plays hard.  He was our best defender, and I would often put him on the opposing team’s best offensive player.”

Wagner Is a 6’ 2” guard from Galesville, Wis.  Wagner redshirted at the University of Nebraska during the 2013 -14 season because of an injury.  He transferred to Winona State in Minnesota.  Wagner played in 27 games and averaged 8.9 points a game, 2.3 rebounds per game and 1.8 rebounds per game this past season.

In high school, Wagner played for his father at Galesville-Ettrick-Trempealeau High School.  In 2013, Wagner was the Coulee Conference player of the year. He was a first team all-conference selection his junior and senior year and was a second team selection his sophomore year.

The Knights were 24 – 9 this past season, finishing second in the NJCAA Region IX south sub-region.
