Cecil's Jabril Bailey Signs with Campbell University
Cecil College men's basketball player Jabril Bailey of New Castle, Del. has signed a
National Letter of Intent to play for NCAA Division I Campbell University in Buies Creek, N.C.
A graduate of Delcastle Technical High School, Bailey earned Third Team All Region 20 honors at
Cecil in the 2007-08 season. He averaged 15.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists for the
Seahawks who went 31-1, captured the Maryland JUCO Conference regular season and tournament
titles, and were the nation's top-ranked team for much of the year.
"Jabril is an impact player at the perimeter position," said Cecil coach Bill Lewit. "He has
the ability to hit the mid-range shot, especially off the dribble, and just has a way of getting
into the flow of the offense."
Bailey, who sat out the 2006-07 campaign as a medical redshirt, has three years of eligibility
remaining to play for the Fighting Camels of the Atlantic Sun Conference. He is the 35th Cecil
men's basketball player to accept an NCAA Division I scholarships in the last 10 years.
"Jabril is going to eventually have a very good career at Campbell and will be a solid contributor
there," said Lewit. "Whether you're a freshman or a junior college transfer, there is always an
adjustment period in that first year. Because he'll be there for three years, he'll have that
extra year to make that adjustment."
