Coach John Maupin recently announced the signing of Bill Sharpe II during the NCAA fall-signing period. Sharpe comes to Lee from Albany, Ga.
 
Said Maupin: "Last spring Hunter (assistant coach Hunter Vest) and I had a chance to watch Bill play in a tournament, and we walked away very impressed.  He has very sound fundamentals and we really liked the way he carried himself on the course. 
 
"Once we had him on his campus visit we felt like he was someone that would fit in very well with our team.  We definitely feel like we are getting one of the best players in the state of Georgia.  Bill has proven himself against top competition many times, and he has the type of game that will translate very well to the next level."
 
"Bill has a bright future ahead here, and will have the opportunity to have an instant impact on our team—we are excited to have him on board."
