MARYVILLE, Mo. – Northwest Missouri State University men’s basketball coach Ben McCollum has announced the signing of Chris King to a National Letter of Intent. King, a 6-0 point guard from Hoover High School in Des Moines, Iowa, was a two-year all-state performer for the Huskies.

“Chris has a great feel for the game,” said McCollum. “He shoots the ball extremely well and does a great job making plays off the dribble. He can score from the perimeter, has a mid-range game and finishes well around the basket. He is also very unselfish and does a lot of things to help his team win. Chris is a great kid off the floor as well and we are extremely excited he chose to be a Bearcat.”

During his career, King scored over 1,000 points and led Hoover to a pair of CIML conference titles. As a senior King earned first-team All-State honors and led the Huskies to a 12-0 record in CIML play. King was named first team All-CIML twice and was also named the All-CIML Elite team captain. An all-district performer, King was named to the all-state tournament team and earned a spot in the Iowa All-Star game.
