Dominican University's 2012 recruiting class

 From Dave Albee, Associate Director of Public Relations:

Christopher Schwartz-Edmisten, a senior out of Waldorf High School in Fair Oaks who led California prep boys’ basketball in scoring with a 34.1 points per game average last season, has signed a national letter of intent with Dominican University of California, Penguins’ men’s basketball coach Booker T. Harris announced today.

Joining Schwartz-Edmisten at Dominican are two other Sacramento-area products; versatile 6-foot-6 forward Kevin John (K.J.) Logue of Bella Vista High School and Matt Hayes, the all-time leading scorer at Yuba City High School.

“We are very excited to have these young men join the program,” Harris said.  “They all have come from winning programs, are great students from great families and will be great representatives on campus and in the community.  They also will help in creating a competitive program with quality shooters and rebounding as we continue to try and build our NCAA Division II program here at DU.”

The Penguins, with Harris in his first season as their head coach, won eight of their final 11 games last season to finish in fourth place in the 10-team Pacific West Conference after being tabbed by league coaches in preseason to finish last. In preseason, Dominican played two close games against Western Washington, which went on to win the NCAA Div. II national championship.

Schwartz-Edmisten led the Waves to a 26-5 record and the Central Valley League championship last season. The 6-foot-3 shooting guard wound up fifth in the nation in scoring. He scored 40 or more points 11 times, topped by a 51-point effort versus Woodland Christian on Jan. 13 when he attempted the same number of foul shots (23) as he did field goals. The Waves’ co-captain was named Second Team All-State in Division V in helping Waldorf advance to the playoffs for the 25th time in the last 26 years.

Hayes, a 6-2 combo guard, had a double-double in the final 27 games last season for the Honkers, the Tri-County League champions for a fifth straight year. He shot 50 percent from 3-point range and tallied 30 or more points eight times, including 72 points in back-to-back games on consecutive days last December. Hayes, a two-time Tri-County League Most Valuable Player, averaged 23.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.1 steals per game. He scored 34 points in an upset over Del Campo in the opening round of the CIF Div. II playoffs.

Logue, an athletic 6-6 forward, led the 26-6 Broncos to the Capitol Valley Conference title. The two-time league MVP averaged 15.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.2 steals a game, topped by a 29-point, 12-rebound performance against El Dorado on Dec. 15. He averaged 26 points and 11 rebounds in a three-game stretch last December. He also is a standout high jumper in high school.
