Riverside—UC Riverside Head Men's Basketball Coach Dennis Cutts announced today that Chris Tang, a 6-4 combo guard from Lianyungang City, Jiangsu, China, has signed a national letter of intent to play for the Highlanders beginning in 2014-15.
Tang currently plays for the prestigious Canarias Basketball Academy, and led CBA's U-18 Team to a berth in Spain's 2014 National Youth Championships averaging a team-high 15.5 points per game while shooting 44 percent from beyond the arc. Prior to attending CBA, Tang played for three years in the United States—as a freshman and sophomore at Hampton Roads, where he earned First-Team, All-State Honors both seasons, and as a junior at Oak Hill Academy, where the Warriors finished 33-6 and finished the year ranked 18th in the nation.
"We are extremely pleased to add Chris Tang to our program," said Cutts. "His development this past year under Coach Rob Orellena at the world-renowned Canarias Basketball Academy has been tremendous, and we are very fortunate now to have two of Coach Orellena's players joining us at UC Riverside this year."
"Riverside is getting one of the biggest steals in the late signing period in Chris ... who is known for his deep range three-point shooting and play making," said Orellena. "I am very excited for Chris and his family with the great news."
Tang is the second member of the CBA to commit to the Highlanders this season. He joins 6-7 forward Robert Boezeman who signed his NLI back in November.
"My goal is to help UCR Basketball win a Big West Championship, earn my college degree, and one day represent the China Men's National Team and participate in the Olympic Games," said Tang.
