Bowling Green, Ohio – Bowling Green men's basketball coach Louis Orr has announced that freshman James Erger has joined the program for the 2009-10 season. Erger is a two-time first team all-state player from Texas.

A 6-foot-6 guard, Erger averaged 25.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game at Princeton High School in Princeton, Texas. He led his team to a 22-11 record as a senior and was named district most valuable player, all-district, and all-region. Off the court, he was class president and an eagle scout.

“James is a talented, skilled, versatile basketball player with a high IQ for the game,” Orr said. “He is a coach's son and has good size for a perimeter player and can play multiple positions. He is an excellent shooter from three-point range and a good ballhandler, passer and rebounder. He just knows how to play. James is a high character person who brings a lot of positive intangibles to our program and we are excited to have him join our Falcon family.”
