Andre Pierce, a 6-foot-10 power forward from Lee College in Baytown, signed Friday to join the TCU men’s basketball program.
Pierce, a native of Jacksonville, Fla., averaged 9.4 points and 5.1 rebounds last season and is ranked No. 3 among junior college prospects, per 247Sports.com. Pierce, who committed to TCU in November, averaged 7.7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game while shooting 48.9 percent from the field in his freshman season. He will be a junior next season.
Pierce is the fifth newcomer the Horned Frogs have added to their roster for next season and the second junior-college signee in the past two days.
