TOLEDO, Ohio - University of Toledo Head Coach Tod Kowalczyk announced the addition of 6-foot-5 combo guard Dylan Alderson to the Rockets' men's basketball program on Monday.
 
     "We are very excited to announce that Dylan is going to become a member of our basketball family," Kowalczyk said. "He possesses great character, comes from a great family and is extremely well-coached after playing for an outstanding high school program under legendary coach Dan Fife. Dylan plays with toughness and has a versatile skill set that will allow him to make a smooth transition to college basketball."
 
     A Clarkston, Mich. native, Alderson averaged 23.9 ppg and 5.5 rpg this past season to help Clarkston High School to a 27-1 win-loss mark and Michigan's Class A state title. He joins forward Logan Hill as the second Rocket newcomer to be a member of a state championship squad. Following the season, Alderson earned Detroit News Class A First-Team All-State and Detroit Free Press Second-Team All-State accolades.
 
     As a junior, Alderson averaged 16.1 ppg and 7.3 rpg en route to earning Associated Press Class A Honorable Mention All-State honors. He helped the Wolves capture league and district titles and finished his junior campaign ranked No. 26 in the Detroit Free Press Top 100 player list.
