Gerard Martin -Grand Canyon Uni coach Dan Majerie
Grand Canyon University head men's basketball coach Dan Majerle today announced that Gerard Martin, signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Antelopes squad for 2014-15.
Martin hails from Manly, Australia and played for the Australian Institute of Sport. He was also a two-time conference champion representing Scots College in Sydney, averaging 20.0 points per game. Martin was a member of Gold Medal winning sides for the U16 and U18 state team, as well as a Silver Medalist for the U17 squad. He averaged 4.8 points and 3.2 rebounds per game in the recently completed FIBA U19 Championships.
"Gerard is a big 6'6 shooting guard or small forward out of Australia," said Dan Majerle. "What I love about him is he is ultra-competitive and one of Australia's top players. He is a defensive oriented kid who has great potential offensively. His mindset and attitude are what we want at GCU. Gerard will come in right and away and be able to guard. I love his size and he is a great addition for what we are looking to do over the next four years."
"I am really excited to be attending GCU next year," said Martin. "The university, the culture and the basketball program are all in a great situation and I feel it is a perfect fit for me as a student-athlete and person. To be surrounded by the likes of Dan Majerle and Mr. Colangelo is really exciting and it is clear that the team is only heading into a positive future. I can't wait to get there and learn from their experiences."
