Broomfield, CO – November 9th, 2011 Austin Wood 5′10 senior point guard (Broomfield HS) has signed a national letter of intent to playcollege basketball at NCAA Division II McMurry University located in Abilene, TX.

Austin has been a mainstay at point guard for Broomfield the past 2 seasons, leading the Eagles to a combined record of 43-9, a Northern Conference Championship and two Elite 8 state tournament finishes. In his senior season, Austin and the talented core of Eagles have thier eyes on a 4A State Championship.

Geoff Golden Basketball has been fortunate to have Austin as a client over the past two years. He has worked extremely hard to develop all aspects of his game and develop a point guard leadership mentality. Austin has always had a natural feel for the game with a very high basketball IQ. His game will transfer seamlessly to the next level with his quickness, fearless playmaking and ability to knock down the open three. My prediction is that Austin will be a better college player than high school. That’s a lot to live up to considering his accomplishments thus far but I believe Austin still has a tremendous upside to his potential that will blossom with the competition and maturity he will develop competing at the next level. The War Hawks are going to be pleasantly surprised!

McMurry University has traditionally been a NCAA Division III school but is making the transition athletically to the Division II level in the 2012-2013 season. Austin and the War Hawks will compete in the Heartland Conference that features schools from Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
