"I think Sam is a real sleeper. He will provide us with size, athleticism, and a versatile offensive skill set," said Jones. "He can score on the block and is an outstanding three-point shooter. Can't wait to get to work with Sam."
Hood averaged 9.5 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, while hitting 56% from the floor and 35% from 3-point range. He had 16 games in double figures scoring topped by 19 against Cape Fear Community College. Hood hauled in a season-high 13 rebounds against Hagerstown Community College and 11 against Allegany College of Maryland.
