Rumors had been boiling the last couple days that Ed Cooley was trying to add another player to his roster for the 2014-15 season. Specifically the rumor was he was trying to supplement his backcourt offensively by adding a foreign guard to the mix. That rumor became fact today when it was learned that German guard Tyree Chambers would be joining the Friar family.

Chambers had previously been mentioned in the late spring as a potential add for next season by Kevin McNamara of the Providence Journal. This move gives Ed Cooley more backcourt insurance in case Kris Dunn needs more time to return from his second shoulder surgery and freshman Kyron Cartwright isn’t ready for big minutes early in his career.

I’ll have more on the Chambers commitment early next week.
