South Dakota State men's basketball head coach
Eric Henderson announced the addition of Noah Freidel for the 2019-20 season. After announcing a verbal commitment to SDSU on Twitter last week, Freidel officially signed with the Jackrabbits Thursday.
Â
Freidel averaged 22.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.2 steals per game for the Tea Titans as a senior, earning Class A All-State First Team honors while being named the 2019
Argus Leader Player of the Year. Freidel tallied 26 points per game on 48.5 percent shooting as a junior en route to 2018 All-State First Team honors, dropping a school-record 47 points in a win over Flandreau.
"We are extremely excited that Noah has decided to continue his academic and basketball career as a Jackrabbit," Henderson said. "To be able to keep the best players in our basketball-rich state is important. Noah's competitive spirit, burning desire to get better and knack for playing his best in big moments are what Jackrabbit fans can look forward to."
Â
Freidel helped the Titans to two Class A State Tournament titles (2017, 2019) and will graduate as the school's all-time leading scorer with over 1,800 career points.
Â
He is part of a recruiting class that includes 2019 NJCAA Player of the Year Doug Wilson, NJCAA All-American Tray Buchanan and High School All-State First Team performers Owen Coburn (Iowa) and Baylor Scheierman (Nebraska).
