The efforts to bolster the Missouri S&T men's basketball roster continue with the addition of Adam Knollmeyer, a 6-9, 235-pound forward from Linn, Mo.

Knollmeyer is transferring to Missouri S&T from Saint Louis University where he has spent the last two seasons. He played in 22 games last seaason for the Billikens and shot 46 percent from the floor and 75 percent at the free throw line after appearing in 21 games as a freshman.

He is the second player to sign with the Miners for next season, joining Aaron Redeker, a transfer from Three Rivers Community College.

"I really believe that Adam is going to be a fine Division II player," said Miner head coach Dale Martin. "He will be asked to do a great deal more at our level in terms of scoring and rebounding, but I really believe he'll be able to make a difference for us.

"Adam, along with Aaron, will really help upgrade our front line next season in terms of production," Martin added. "He is a very good student as well and will be a good match for us both academically and athletically."

At Linn, Knollmeyer was a Street and Smith's honorable mention All-America player and averaged 18 points, 11 rebounds, four blocks and four assists per game to lead his team to a 26-4 record. He was a first-team Missouri Class 3 all-state player as named by the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association and second-team selection by the Missouri Sportswriters and Broadcasters Association.

Knollmeyer played his first three prep seasons at Helias High School in Jefferson City.
