The Valparaiso University men's basketball team today announced they have signed Keaton Frye to a National Letter of Intent.

A 6'3" guard from North Scott High School in Eldridge, Iowa, Frye earned First Team All-Conference honors last season while playing in the post. He averaged 16.5 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, finishing second in the conference in scoring and first in rebounding. A three-year starter, Frye shot 77% from the free throw line and 48% from the floor as a junior. Frye played a guard position as a sophomore and will return to the backcourt in his senior season. His coach this year at North Scott is Dave Wessel.

?He's (Frye) not only a great player but a really great kid," Wessel said, ?He's very well respected and a model for the younger players."

The Crusaders conclude their exhibition season Saturday night at the Athletics-Recreation Center against Calumet College at 7:05 p.m.
