Wolverines add point guard: Wesley College men’s basketball coach Dean Burrows announced on Friday that point guard Tyrone Craven will join the Wolverines men’s basketball team for the 2015-16 campaign.

Craven played his high school basketball at North Point High School in Waldorf, Md.

At North Point, Craven was selected as a Southern Maryland Athletic Conference all-star and led his squad to a 19-7 record, including an undefeated conference mark (13-0).

He led the SMAC and all of Maryland’s Class 4A high schools with 4.8 assists per game and finished second in steals per game, averaging 2.5 per contest. In high school, Craven was lauded for his tenacious defense and quickness. He excelled in full-court press and on-ball defense. His court vision and passing have been touted as well.

The Wolverines will open the 2015-16 season at home against Virginia Wesleyan on Nov. 15. The Marlins reached the NCAA Division III national semifinals this past season and the teams last met in the second round of the 2014 NCAA Tournament where Virginia Wesleyan won, 79-74, in Virginia Beach.
