Former 49er Trevin Parks gets CIAA honor

Guard Trevin Parks, who transferred from Charlotte to Johnson C. Smith during the offseason, was recently named the CIAA's newcomer of the week.

Parks, who got little playing time with the 49ers last season as a freshman, is the Golden Bulls' second-leading scorer, averaging 12.8 points per game and 4.0 assists.

With the 49ers' lack of depth in the backcourt, they might have been able to use Parks this season. Until Charles Dewhurst comes back from a knee injury and when/if Luka Voncina is declared eligible by the NCAA, Charlotte's only options off the bench are Gokhan Sirin and walk-on Colby Lewis.
