Here’s a press release from Asbury College:

Adam Delph, a 6’ 1” guard from Louisville, Kentucky, has announced that he is transferring to Asbury College to play for the Eagles in the ‘09-‘10 basketball season. “Adam will fit into our system extremely well. Our strength has always been our guard play and he will contribute to that from day one,” said Coach Will Shouse. “We are very excited about adding Adam to our roster of talented players.” Delph will formally sign with the Eagles on Monday August 17, 2009 at 2:00 pm in the Luce Center Gymnasium and has four years of eligibility.

He spent the ‘08-‘09 season as a University of Kentucky walk-on. At Louisville’s Pleasure Ridge Park High School he averaged 28 points per game and was named 6^th Region Player of the Year as a senior.

The Eagles start the 2009-10 season by hosting the Zweifel Classic on November 6 and 7. Asbury College placed 5^th at the National Christian College Athletics Association (NCCAA) National Tournament last season, had a 21-13 record overall, and finished the year 5-6 in the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (KIAC). Asbury also competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
