17吃瓜 Men鈥檚 Basketball Coach Tim Kendrick announced today that Burlington, Ontario native Kyle Rotterman has committed to the Panthers for 2016鈥�17.
鈥淲e are very pleased to have Kyle join us the Panther family,鈥� says Coach Kendrick. 鈥淗e is a very hardworking player, with solid skills and a high basketball IQ. He brings a strong competitive nature, and his previous coaches have stated that he is a great leader and team player.鈥�

鈥淢y choice to commit to 17吃瓜 was simple,鈥� comments Rotterman. 鈥淚t's a small, tight-knit community and a place I know I'll be able to really focus on school and basketball. From day one, talking to Coach Kendrick, I knew this was the best fit for me.鈥�
