With two months to go before the season tips off, UAA men's basketball coach Rusty Osborne finalized his team's 2017-18 roster Wednesday with the addition of two more Anchorage players.
Alex Adams, a former South High player, and Ryan Trailer, a 2017 Bartlett grad, have enrolled at UAA and joined the Seawolves, UAA announced.
Adams and Trailer bring UAA's recruiting class to a dozen players, including three other Alaskans.
Adams is a 6-foot-6 forward who spent last season at prep school Moravian Academy in Hickory, North Carolina, where he averaged 15 points, four rebounds and three assists per game.
He is the son of former Seawolf forward Pete Adams (1981-84) and was an All-Cook Inlet Conference and second-team all-state performer as a senior at South during the 2015-16 season.
Trailer, a 6-4 guard, earned first-team All-CIC and third-team all-state honors as a senior for the Golden Bears last season.
"Both Alex and Ryan have shown tremendous potential at their previous schools, and I've had the good fortune to be able to watch them grow as players since middle school," Osborne said in a press release. "I believe their respective skills fit well in our system, and we're excited to get the chance to develop more Alaskan talent."
Adams and Trailer join Division I transfers Malik Clements (guard, North Dakota State), Maleke Haynes (guard), Jacob Lampkin (forward) and D.J. Ursery (guard) all from the University of the Pacific; junior-college transfers Jack Macdonald (guard, Ohlone College) and Josiah Wood (guard, Butte College) and fellow freshmen Eric Jenkins (forward, Dimond), Kylan Osborne (guard, Dimond), Brennan Rymer (guard, Sydney, Australia) and Austin White (forward, Ninilchik) in UAA's 2017 recruiting class.
