Raiders sign two
FAIRBORN — As expected, Wright State signed two men’s basketball recruits this weekend, making the announcement today, Nov. 17, that guards Tyler Koch and Darian Cartharn will join the team next season.
Koch is a 6-foot-4, 190-pounder from Winchester, Ind., while Cartharn is 6-0, 180, from Canal Winchester, Ohio.
“What I like about Tyler and Darian is both kids are hard workers,” WSU coach Brad Brownell said. “they didn’t play a lot of AAU ball last summer. They stayed home and worked out in their gyms. And both kids are physically ready to play. They’re both well-built kids.”
Koch averaged 22.5 points as a junior when his team was 23-4 and appeared for the second straight year in the Indiana 2A state championship game.
“A lot of bigger schools were looking at him,” Brownell said, “but they told him they wanted to wait and see what he did as a senior. He came here and liked it. That’s a good (recruiting) step for us.”
Cartharn is more of a sleeper, although at least one recruiting service calls him one of the year’s best finds. Cartharn averaged 10 points for a 21-3 team that had B.J. Mullins, a freshman at Ohio State this season.
Wright State has one scholarship left, but Brownell said he is not close to signing another player at this time.
