UC Irvine Signs Hutchinson
Star J.R. Christ--(April 26, 1999)

UC Irvine has signed J.R. Christ (6'-8" So. C) from Hutchinson College (JC), in Kansas to a national letter of intent. Christ averaged five points and four rebounds last season for Hutchinson, which finished 23-8. He spent one season at Colorado, where he redshirted, and has three years of eligibility remaining.

Irvine only loses two seniors, Brian Scoggin and Matt Willard, and with the addition of Christ, they will have a pretty formidable frontline, including  Stan Divranos (6'-8" So. F) and Mark Gottschalk (6'-10" Fr. C). Irvine, which won only 8 games last season (including two pre-season exhibition games) while losing 20 overall (actually their official record was 6-10, and 2-14 in the Big West) will need all the help they can get also signed Adam Parada (6'-10" Sr. C) from Alta Loma HS in the early signing period.
