Word of God Academy (Raleigh, N.C.) just got a big boost to an already stacked squad, as junior swingman T.J. Warren has transferred from Riverside (NC) and will play for the Holy Rams.
Warren, who averaged 17 points and 8 rebounds last season, is one of the top players in the 2012 class. He joins high-flying wing Bishop Daniels and forward Joseph Uchebo, an N.C. State commit, on the WOG roster. Daniels will be sidelined until November due to a broken foot.
