2018 New Albany graduate Sean East received a D1 offer from Mercer University. East is currently completing a post-graduate year at Combine Prep in North Carolina.
East received an offer from Southeast Missouri last July before heading to prep school. By reports, East has had a strong season for Combine. He has received interest from Drake, Jacksonville, App State, and UMASS this season. Mercer is his first offer of the year.
Mercer just hired Greg Gary. He is an Anderson, Indiana native that has been an assistant coach at Purdue for the last eight years. East is believed to be Gary's first offer at Mercer.
East had a decorated high school career playing alongside Romeo Langford at New Albany. The lefty is known for his deep shooting range and floater game once he is in the lane. He took a major step forward as a senior by balancing his scoring and distributing.
