"We are very excited to have Darren join our team as he is a young man capable of playing a multitude of positions and has the ability to guard just about anyone,” said Billeter. “Darren loves the game and will work hard at helping us get better in many different ways. He is a very good student and will represent our program very well both on and off the floor.”
