New D1 program adds a point

Darius Joseph, (SO) 6-foot-2, from Lamar Community College in Colorado has signed on with new NCAA D1, the University of North Dakota.

Joseph was the starting point guard this season Lamar Community College. Darius averaged 9.6 ppg, 4.6 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 steals for head coach Chris Tifft. Joseph received interest from Utah Valley State, UC Riverside and Portland.

Darius was the third member of this year's team to sign on D1. He joins Brandon Johnson (Long Beach State) and Delvin Franklin (Florida Gulf Coast).

"We are very excited that Darius has chosen the University of North Dakota. His size as a point guard and his ability to make everyone around him better makes Darius a perfect fit for our team. He will have an immediate impact on our program at both ends of the floor," said UND assistant coach Chris Johnson.
