Columbia’s Morrow signs with E. Carolina

Columbia center Darrius Morrow, who last month was granted a release from his basketball scholarship at South Carolina, has signed with East Carolina.

Morrow, a 6-foot-9 center who led the Eagles to two of the last three Class AAAA titles, felt like he was a bad match for new Gamecocks coach Darrin Horn’s up-tempo style of play and asked for a release. Horn recently replaced Dave Odom, who retired.

Morrow averaged 14.5 points and 11.3 rebounds to be named second team all-state and first team all-city. Morrow also had interest from Ole Miss, Virginia Tech, UAB and Oklahoma.

“We feel he will have a huge impact for us,” said ECU assistant coach Darryl LaBarrie, a former Tucker and Georgia Tech player. “We feel he will come in right away and be our best low post player. We will run some of our offense through him.”
