La Salle

La Salle University announced that 6’9 junior Vernon Goodridge has transferred to La Salle from Mississippi State. Goodridge, formerly a consensus Top 50 prospect out of high schoo, will be eligible to compete for the Explorers beginning with the 2008-09 season. “Vernon was one of the most highly ranked and sought after prospects in country out of prep school,” explained Giannini. “We recruited him then and we are very happy that he decided to come to La Salle now.” He averaged barely eight minutes per game in two seasons, but blocked 35 shots in that time and pulled an average of 2.5 rebounds per game.
