West Coast pipeline
Move over Archbishop Spalding. Step aside Abington Friends. There is a new pipeline school feeding the Patriot League. This one is on the West Coast.

San Jose's Archbishop Mitty has a second player headed the Patriot League's way. Mitty forward John Adams has committed to play his college ball at Lehigh, joining teammate Enoch Andoh, a Bucknell recruit, for the flight east.

Adams is a 6-5 inside type who Mercury News writer David Kiefer says:
"may have been Mitty’s most consistent performer last season on a team that reached the state Division II championship game before losing in overtime to Santa Ana’s Mater Dei. Adams was a defensive stalwert and could make a big offensive play if he had to."
Adams also drew interest from Hawaii and Division III power Puget Sound, according to Kiefer.

Kiefer says Lehigh coach Brett Reed found damaged tapes of Adams when he took over the Lehigh job and contacted him to get new copies. The tapes impressed Reed enough to lead to a pair of trips west to watch Adams workout.

Adams is the fourth member of Mitty's team to commit to a Division I school.
