UJbasketballJamestown  (CSi)  University of Jamestown head men’s basketball coach Danny Neville has announced the signings of Daymeann Stewart and Robert Baltruns, who will join the Jimmies in the 2016-2017 season.

Stewart, a 5’10” junior guard, attended Joliet College in Illinois the previous two seasons. As a freshman, Stewart averaged 16.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. In 2015-16, he averaged 14.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per contest. In his two seasons at Joliet, Stewart connected on 144 three-point shots. He is from Milwaukee, Wis.

Coach Neville says, “Daymeann is a guy who can score in bunches. He has a very quick release and we expect him to be our three-point specialist. We are very excited to get a quality shooter like Daymeann.”

Baltruns, a 6’ 8” senior forward, attended Faulkner University last season and also played at William Penn University. He helped Faulkner reach the NAIA Division I national tournament in 2015-16. At William Penn, Baltruns earned Midwest Collegiate Conference honorable mention All-Conference honors, averaging 9.6 points, and 4.1 rebounds per game. He made 73 three-pointers, finishing the season at 43%. Robert is from Riga, Latvia.

Coach Neville says, “Robert is a guy who can really stretch the floor with his shooting abilities. He has the potential to be one of the best shooters in the conference. It is very hard to guard someone who is 6′ 8″ and can shoot like Rob does. He will be a great asset to the Jimmie program.”
