TULSA, Oklahoma -- Oral Roberts head coach Scott Sutton announced the university has gained its third signee from the 2010-11 recruiting class.

Hillsborough, North Carolina native Jake Lliteras signed a letter-of-intent to play basketball with the Golden Eagles.

“Jake fills a need that as a coaching staff felt like we needed to address – a shooter with size,” said Sutton in a release. “He has a huge upside for the future but he can help us right away, too. We’re excited he chose ORU.”

The 6-5, 190-pound swingman averaged 14.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists in his senior season.

The left-handed shooter chose ORU over Boise State, Central Arkansas, Utah State and Winthrop.
