A Wilson, N.C., native, Rountree averaged 2.8 points and 2.5 rebounds last season at Wake Forest.
He also visited George Washington, Central Florida and Charlotte.
With his addition to a core including A.J. English, Isaiah Williams, Schadrac Casimir and Kelvin Amayo, Iona could have one of its best teams ever.
SHELTON MITCHELL TO CLEMSON
Shelton Mitchell, a 6-3 guard originally from Oak Hill (VA) Academy, will transfer to Clemson from Vanderbilt and sit out a season.
“I just felt comfortable,” he told SNY.tv. “They recruited me when I was younger and I always loved the coaching staff. I just felt that was the right place.”
He averaged 4.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game at Vanderbilt.
MARCUS FOSTER TO CREIGHTON
Marcus Foster, a 6-3 transfer from Kansas State, Tweeted that he had committed to Creighton during his official visit.
The Wichita Falls (TX) native averaged 12.5 points as a freshman and 15.5 points as a sophomore, but was dismissed from the team by Kansas State coach Bruce Weber following the 2014-15 season.
He must sit a year and then will have two years of eligibility at Creighton, where he could be a huge plus as the team transitions into the Big East.
