  Coastal Carolina has added its third signee to the 2011 basketball class with the addition of 6'2" shooting guard Warren Gillis.  Gillis played at Rise Academy, a prep school in Philadelphia.  “We are excited to have Warren in our program because he has the ability to do something special,” coach Cliff Ellis said in a press release.  “He can score and defend and has the ability to play both guard positions.”  Gillis went from averaging 9 points a game in his senior year of high school to nearly 25 points a game at Rise Academy, which played a national high profile prep school schedule.  Gillis picked up numerous offers and ultimately chose the Chanticleers over Southern Mississippi and Xavier.
