ALBANY - University at Albany head men’s basketball coach Will Brown announced the signing of three student-athletes on Monday.

Tanner Gibson (Zanesville, Ohio), a 6-foot-1 guard, Jayson Guerrier (Oviedo, Fla.), a 6-4 guard and Peter Hooley (South Adelaide, Australia) a 6-4 guard will play for the Great Danes in the 2011-12 season.

Those three join Chris Page, Sam Rowley and Gerardo Suero, who all committed in the fall. It was also announced that Derrek Tartt and Jake Lindfors will transfer from UAlbany.

Multiple reports are surfacing on Saturday evening that 6-foot-2 guard DaVonte Beard has verbally committed to Siena College.

Rivals.com is reporting that Beard has verbally committed to play for the Saints and coach Mitch Buonaguro.

A tweet from Rodger Bohn, a Senior Writer for SLAM Magazine, later said he hasn't yet committed to Siena and cited a family source.

Beard is from Akron, Ohio and played for the same school as LeBron James, St. Vincent-St. Mary's.

Beard did visit Siena this weekend and FOX23 caught up with him, while playing with some of the Siena players.

This would be a big get for Buonaguro and the Saints, especially with the recent news that both Jonathan Breeden and Kyle Griffin won't return to the team.

Buonaguro can't comment on a recruit until a signed Letter of Intent has been sent to the school.

Beard would join a freshman class of Lionel Gomis, Imoh Silas and Robert Poole.

If Beard does commit, Siena would have two scholarships remaining.
