Myles Belyeu on joining the SVSU Men's Basketball program...
"I'm extremely proud to announce that I will be attending Saginaw Valley State University. I've been blessed enough to be influenced by many coaches and players while being supported by family and friends. There have been a lot of sacrifices made by everyone and I'm excited to say my work will pay off."
Trotwood-Madison head coach Rocky Rockhold...
"We couldn't be happier for Myles heading to Saginaw Valley. He's put in the work in the classroom and the court and at a high level in both. Myles is an easy kid to recruit. He's an easy kid to sell as a head coach. I'm just so happy that he's turning the page for the next chapter, although I'm a little sad that our chapter has ended."
Randy Baruth on the addition of Belyeu to the program...
"After a very storied career at Trotwood-Madison, we are excited to add Myles to Saginaw Valley Men's Basketball. We felt it was a great fit because he will bring size, athleticism, strength, and versatility to our guard position. As well, he is a great young man that values education and family, which are preached heavily within our program."
