ANDERSON, S.C. - After making a run in the South Atlantic Conference tournament a year ago, Anderson head coach Michael Zion looks to build on the momentum from that experience. Zion announced his 2016 signing class on Thursday, as four future Trojans will look to make an immediate impact.

The Black and Gold welcome: Shinya Nagata (Yokohama, Japan/St. Mary's International School of Tokyo), Landon Goodman (Rockwell, N.C./Salisbury H.S.), Austin Fain (Decatur, Georgia/Saint Pius X H.S.), Emil Johansson (Taeljegymnasiest), to the team for the upcoming campaign.

Zion on his signing class: "This recruiting class was all about finding the right players and I think our staff has done just that. We are looking forward to finally see these guys in an AU jersey. We are excited to see what type of an impact they are going to make."
