East Carolina Men’s Basketball has officially announced the signing of point guard Corey Caulker on Wednesday afternoon.

Caulker averaged 13.4 points, 4.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game last season at Eastern Florida State, where he earned All-FCSAA Team honors and helped lead the Titans to an overall 23-7 record and a quarterfinal appearance in the FCSAA Men’s Basketball Championship. He shot 35.6 percent from behind the arc and 76.8 percent from the free throw line while recording a 2.4 assist-to-turnover ratio.

“Corey embodies true winning intangibles,” head coach Michael Schwartz said. “He’s a terrific student and a terrific teammate. He’s coming from one of the best junior colleges in the country in Eastern Florida where he was very well coached by Coach Thomas Gray.”

The Sterling, Va. native scored in double figures in 20 of his 28 games played with Eastern Florida State and scored in double figures in his last eight games played on the year including a season-high 28 points on six made threes.

“As a true dribble, pass, and shoot point guard, his speed and playmaking ability will immediately affect winning,” Schwartz added. “He’s had a chip on his shoulder throughout his career, and that’s something that will resonate very well with Pirate Nation.”

Prior to playing at Eastern Florida State, Caulker spent his freshman season at Northern Virginia Community College, where he averaged 23.8 points and 4.5 assists in 23 games played.
