Drae Vasser, a 6-foot-1 guard from Louisville, Kentucky, has signed to play basketball at Eastern Kentucky University, head coach A.W. Hamilton announced today.
Vasser spent the past two seasons at Vincennes University.

Vasser shot 46% from the field and 41% from 3-point range, sinking 94 shots from deep. He also knocked down 83% at the free throw line.
“Drae is a dynamic guard and an elite playmaker,” said Hamilton. “He has unlimited range and plays with a fearless mentality. He’s a leader, he’s tough and most importantly he’s a winner.”
