Lafayette transfer Jamall Douglas is taking his game to Eastern Kentucky. Douglas is one of the first four recruits signed by the Colonel's new coach Jeff Neubauer.

Douglas is a transfer from Lafayette. As a sophomore last season, he started 24 of 28 games for Lafayette, which finished 9-19. He led the Patriot League in rebounding at 7.0 per game and was the Leopards' second-leading scorer at 9.9 points per game. Because of NCAA transfer rules, he won't be eligible to play for the Colonels until the 2006-07 season.

The four players will join a team that includes four returning starters, all of whom will be seniors. The Colonels finished 22-9 last season, setting a single-season school record for wins and making the NCAA tournament for the first time in 26 years.
