Alcorn State University men's basketball programme added more depth and athleticism to its 2017-18 team with the signing of Troymain Crosby and Rolando Rodgers, head coach Montez Robinson announced.

Crosby and Rodgers both signed National Letters of Intent.

Rodgers is a 6-9, 215 pound power forward from the [British] Virgin Islands. He will come to Alcorn as a freshman after playing a year of prep school at TaylorMade Academy where he averaged 18 points, 10 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.

"Rolando Rodgers is a real athletic big-man that will bring us some size in the front court for the next four years," Robinson said. "He has a high ceiling of talent and I really look forward to getting him here and developing his game."

Rodgers played high school ball at Collegiate Prep Academy in Denver, Colorado. He was rated as a three-star recruit by ESPN.

ESPN's scouting report said, "Rodgers is a well-built 5-man with long arms, soft hands, a good motor. He is a good rebounder in his area and can finish above the rim. His blue-collar demeanor impacts the game at both ends. He carves out space while rebounding at both ends."
