YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -- The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball program and first-year Head Coach Stan Heath continued to build the EMU roster with the signing of Javantae Randle (Detroit, Mich.-Frederick Douglass), the team announced today, Aug. 23.
"At 6-foot-10 with very good shooting and finishing skills with natural shot-blocking instincts, Javantae's best basketball is ahead of him," said Heath. "As a true freshman, he has versatility and strong instincts especially on the defensive end. I really like the fact that he is coming off a state championship with Detroit Frederick Douglass High School."
Randle prepped at Frederick Douglass Academy for Young Men in Detroit under Head Coach Pierre Brooks Sr. He was a four-year letterwinner for the Hurricanes, averaging 20.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks during his final campaign. The 6-foot-10 forward helped lead Douglass to a Division 4 State Championship last year. Additionally, Randle was recognized as the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan's (BCAM) Best in Division Four and also played AAU ball with The Family Detroit.
Eastern Michigan continues its offseason schedule and prepares for the 2021-22 season with Coach Heath at the helm of the program.
