LAFAYETTE - University of Louisiana men's basketball head coach Glynn Cyprien announced Tuesday the signing of Cletis Fobbs to a National Letter of Intent, adding to the Ragin' Cajuns recruiting class for the 2004-05 season.

Fobbs, a 6-foot-3 guard, comes to Louisiana from W.T. Dwyer High School in Palm Beach, Fla. He graduated from Dwyer in 2003 and spent the 2003-04 season as a postgraduate at Worcester Academy in Worcester, Mass.

As a high school senior, Fobbs averaged 15 points, five rebounds and five assists on a Dwyer team that finished 29-3 and was state ranked.

He was named to the All-Conference and All-Area teams while earning MVP honors of the Palm Beach vs. Miami and Palm Beach vs. Broward County All-Star games.

"Cletis will be a great addition to our program," Cyprien said. "His
athleticism and ability to defend, along with versatility, make him a
prospect that will be able to contribute as a freshman.

"We expect continued development that will enable him to be an important part of our program," Cyprien added.

Fobbs is the Cajuns fifth signing for the 2004-05 season. He joins
Jeanerette High's Derek Gray and junior college transfers Spencer Ford, Berry Jordan and Anthony Rhodman.
