Sinclair Head Coach Jeff Price has gathered another strong recruiting class for the 2009-10 season.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Sinclair Pride welcomed two high-school recruits to its 2009 class last week after signing two McDonald\u2019s All-American nominees from Kentucky.<\/p>\n

Phillip Hayes and Kevin Williamson signed on to play under men\u2019s Coach Jeff Price. Hayes, a 6-foot-9 center, averaged 15 points and 9.7 rebounds a game for Allen County High School.<\/p>\n

\u201cHayes has the ability to play the game we want to play,\u201d Price said. \u201cHe\u2019s a very skilled athlete who\u2019s able to step out to the three-point line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williamson is no slouch, either. The 280-pound forward from Barbourville High School stands at 6-foot-10 and gives Price a defensive force in the middle.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s going to give us that low-post presence,\u201d Price said.<\/p>\n

Last month, Price added Thurgood Marshall guard De\u2019Angelo Gates to his backcourt.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think De\u2019Angelo was the key of the three guys we\u2019ve signed. He\u2019s a scorer and the type of kid who can create his own shot,\u201d Price said. \u201cHe has that ability to find the seam and score.\u201d<\/p>\n

The influx of new talent is nothing new to Price.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe go through this every year,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen we get to late-May and early-June, we don\u2019t know what our roster is going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Pride can look ahead, though, as the \u201909 recruiting class looks strong with sophomores British Alexander, Kevin Vest and David Johnson returning.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice to have this sort of versatility,\u201d Price said.<\/p>\n
