HELENA, Mont. -- Carroll Men's Basketball landed another member for their 2021 recruiting class this week with the signing of Garrett Long. Garrett Long is a 6'1" combo guard from Wenatchee, Wash. 
 
Long possesses a very versatile skill set on the court. In his junior season, he averaged 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists per game for Wenatchee High School. 
 
"Garrett is a tough kid first of all.  He cares and wants to win," said Head Coach Kurt Paulson on what Long will bring to the program.  "He will come in and demand respect right away because he plays so hard and will complement the returners that we have in the program.  He can guard quick strong guards and offensively he is deadly in pick and roll. We really needed someone who can work off ball screens and get downhill and that is what he can do as well as hit the open three," 
 
Long was a highly touted player in the state of Washington, which is known for producing high level basketball talent. He is now the third player on the Saints' roster from Washington along with Shamrock Campbell and Malachi Afework.
 
"People around the Northwest in basketball circles know that we got a good one," Coach Paulson added. "Academically he is off the charts and will fit with Carroll's academic culture."
 
"I would like to thank Coach Paulson for pursuing me and doing everything he has done in the midst of Covid," Long said about his commitment. "Not a lot of people realize how many hours I put into basketball every day and by having a college program that has taken interest in me has made it all worth it."
 
He plans to study business when he steps on to campus this fall.
