MOREHEAD, Ky. – Morehead State men’s basketball coach Donnie Tyndall has announced that Romaric Lasme has signed a National Letter of Intent with Eagle men’s basketball.

Lasme is a 6-7, 220-pound forward transfer from Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Wy. A native of Port-Gentil, Gabon, Lasme is averaging 18.5 points and eight rebounds for the Golden Eagles this season.

“Romeric is a very good athlete and a skilled post player,” Tyndall said. “We weren’t sure whether or not he would sign early, but we are extremely glad to have him in our family,”

Lasme joins five other early Eagle signees. P.J. Meyers (5-7, 165 lbs., G, Augusta, Ga. – Chattanooga State Community College); Shannon Williams (6-8, 225 lbs., F, Detroit, MI – Cass Tech High School); Arthur McMillan (6-5, 220 lbs., F, Nashville, TN – Hillsboro High School); Robert Wade (6-7, 210 lbs., F, Nashville, TN – Maplewood High School); Kevin Gray (6-1, 180 lbs., G, Reynoldsburg, OH – Reynoldsburg High School) have also signed with Morehead State.

MSU is 1-1 so far this season and will host Louisiana Monroe Saturday at 7:30 pm at Johnson Arena.
