Dominique Brooks

Joel Davidson has signed his first recruit of the 2011-2012 season in Dominique Brooks from Seattle, Washington.  Brooks, a transfer from Yavapai College in Arizona averaged 12 points per game and four assists a contest for the roughriders last season.  The 6’1 185 pound pure point guard is exactly what coach Joel Davidson was aiming for to find in another point guard to run the show.  “He brings all the great qualities and intangibles of a high level point guard,” Davidson said of Dominique.  “Dominique can shoot it well from beyond the arch as well as off the dribble, we are very excited about him joining our program.”

The Seattle native committed to the University of Miami out of prep school where he attended God’s Academy in Texas.  Since then, he has opened his recruitment back up for the division 1 level and is now hearing from Wichita State, Arizona State, Hawaii, Kent State, Buffalo, Washington State, Houston, Idaho State, Central Michigan, and Weber State.  Davidson really likes the way Brooks can run a team, make great decisions with the ball in his hand, as well as his ability to make his teammates better.

The Thunderbirds will likely fill three more scholarships this spring and summer to round out the 2011-2012 recruiting class.  Davidson started off with a very high caliber signee in the Yavapai transfer (Brooks) who was also being recruited at the Junior College level by Trinity Valley CC, Midland, Hutchinson CC, North Idaho, Sheridan, and Indian Hills CC.
