Jalen Headspeth to Cal State Monterey Bay

Hot sure if we posted this earlier -- it's dated from late May:

Cal State Monterey Bay men's basketball coach Rob Bishop has announced the signing of Oakland High School's Jalen Headspeth.

“Jalen is a point guard with great vision and court awareness,” Bishop said. “He has played on teams with very good players throughout his high school career and has done an outstanding job of distributing the basketball. Oakland High School has put out a number of very good college basketball players over the years and Jalen will be no exception.“

Headspeth, a 5'11 point guard led his team to an Oakland Athletic League (OAL) Championship in his senior season ending with a 19-4 record. He led the team to three CIF Quarterfinals. Headspeth was named All-OAL honorable mention as a junior and senior.

This past season at Oakland High School, Headspeth averaged 6.7 points and 1.3 assists a game. 

“Not only will he help improve our transition game next season, but Jalen is a much better scorer than his numbers in high school suggest,” Bishop said. “Jalen is not afraid to take and hit the big shot in pressure situations.  I am expecting Jalen to come in and be very productive as a freshman even playing one of the toughest positions in college basketball.”

Davion Berry to Weber State

Former Hayward High star Davion Berry, who has torn up the California Collegiate Athletic Association the last two seasons with his scoring for Cal State Monterey Bay, has transferred to Weber State of the Big Sky Conference. He'll be joining former Oakland High backcourter Damian Lillard and forward Frank Otis, who played at McClymonds High.
