HERENDA ON SINGH:"Dipanjot is a very experienced veteran basketball player and will be a tremendous addition to our basketball program. He comes from a program that competed a very high level. 'D' also brings with him a great love for the game of basketball and a dedication to his own personal game. He really shoots it, defends very hard and can make plays off of the dribble. He will also be very active in our press. We are very fortunate to have him for one year - I wish we could keep him for more."
