Top Newfoundland hoop prospect joins the Varsity Reds for next season

The UNB Varsity Reds basketball program is pleased announce that Aaron O’Brien of Pasadena Newfoundland will be joining the squad for the upcoming 2011-2012 season.

Aaron was a member of Newfoundland provincial team and was ranked as one the top prospects in country. He led his high school team to a 24-9 record  and the 2011 AAA Newfoundland provincial High school championship.  Aaron averaged 24 pts,14 rebounds per game.

Coach Baker is definitely impressed with this latest addition to the V- Reds.

“At 6’8” 215 Aaron is a great addition for us as we try to bolster our front line. He has a great motor, and brings a high level of tenacity that is required if you man the center position at CIS level.”
