Men's basketball adds William Mfum, Noah King

South Dakota State men's basketball announced a pair of signees on Wednesday's National Signing Day, with William Mfum and Noah King set to join the Jackrabbits in fall 2020.

"We are extremely excited to welcome both William and Noah to the Jackrabbit family," head coach Eric Henderson said. "Our newest Jackrabbits will be a great fit to our program and fans will enjoy seeing them wear the yellow and blue."

William Mfum enters his senior campaign at Spring Creek Academy (Plano, Texas) on a high note, earning All-Texas Christian Athletic League and All-City First Team honors as a junior. Mfum averaged 19.7 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game in 2018-19, burying 34 3-pointers and hitting 47 percent from the field. The 6-2 guard scored 20 or more points in nine games a year ago and had one double-double. Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Mfum is the son of Stella Nyarko and Seth Adjei and plans to major in business management.

"Willy's athleticism, versatility and passion for the game will be something our fans will appreciate," Henderson said. "He prides himself on being an aggressive defender and is electric in the open floor."

Noah King averaged 19 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.0 steals per game as a junior, helping his team reach the section 1AA semifinals. The 6-2 guard has scored over 1,900 points in his prep career and is closing in on the school's all-time scoring record. King also led Caledonia's football team to a state championship in 2018 and will compete in the 2019 Class 2A Minnesota State Football Semifinals next week. The younger brother of current Jackrabbit Owen King, Noah hails from Caledonia, Minnesota and is the son of Brad and Susan King. He is undecided on his major.

"Noah's competitive spirit and ability to get to the basket to create scoring opportunities makes him special," Henderson said. "His passing instincts and unselfishness make him a perfect fit for South Dakota State."
