The men's basketball team filled their scholarship allotment for the 2003-04 season Monday with an oral commitment from Peyton Stovall, a high school senior from Lafayette.
As a junior last season, the 6-foot-3 Stovall averaged 20.8 points a game and led Lafayette Jefferson to a sectional basketball championship. Stovall said he would sign a letter of intent during the NCAA early signing period in November.
Lafayette Jeff coach Gene Miller said Stovall has been working on his ball handling and outside shooting over the summer.
"He's a much better player now than he was last year," Miller said. "And he was a very good player for us last year."
Stovall said he wanted to make a decision before the start of his senior season so he could focus more on the game and less on the decision. He was also impressed with Ball State.
"I just fell in love with the place as soon as I got there," Stovall said. "The gym is beautiful and the coaching staff is just like the coaching staff at Jeff."
