Chris is a great shooter who has worked extremely hard to become a well-rounded scorer, Damien head coach Matt Dunn said. Most importantly, he is a quality young man and a great teammate.
Adams competed for the Inland Empire Basketball Program AAU team. The team advanced to the Elite Eight of the Super 64 Tournament and the Final Four of the adidas Magic Memorial Day Festival.
Chris is someone we have been recruiting for two years and we are very fortunate to get him on the Hilltop," USF head coach Rex Walters said. We had a need for someone that could play a couple different guard spots and Chris will be able to do this. We have just added a very good student and basketball player to our program.
