Eastern Illinois basketball head coach
Marty Simmons has announced the Panthers first recruit with the signing of Paul Bizimana.Â
Bizimana (6'8" / 185) is a forward that plays at Haltom High School in Haltom City, Texas. This past season he was named the UIL Class 6A District 3-6A MVP after leading his team to 17 wins including 11 wins in district play.Â
He is a two-time All-Area selection and was named the third rated forward in the Dallas –Fort Worth Metro Area this season.Â
"Paul is skilled forward who has great length and athleticism. He brings intensity on both ends of the court and has played in a highly competitive program at Haltom City. His ability to score, both inside and out, makes him a key addition to our program," said Simmons. "Paul comes from a great family and will bring character to the Eastern Illinois family and we look forward to his career as a Panther."Â
