Siena head coach Jimmy Patsos on Friday received a verbal commitment from 6-foot-3 point guard Kenny Wormley, who is entering his senior year at Riverdale Baptist in Upper Marlboro, Md.

Wormley, a lefthanded shooter, took an unofficial visit to Siena a couple of weeks ago.
“When I visited, I just liked the school and I liked the coaches,” Wormley said. “The coaches just told me I was their guy, so I trusted the coaches and I trust that this would be the best fit for me and I trust the coaches to make me a better player and the best player I can be.”

Wormley plays for the same AAU program, Team Takover, that produced Wright. They didn’t play together because Wright was in an older division.
Wright, from Waldorf, Md., made a strong impression as a Siena freshman last season. He finished second in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference with 5.2 assists per game and made the MAAC All-Rookie team.

“When I visited, Marquis was like he loved playing for Coach Patsos and Coach Patsos brings the best out of a player,” Wormley said. “So I really liked that about the team and the coach.”
Wormley described himself as “kind of pass first, but I can score, too. I can get my teammates involved and make good decisions.”

The blueprint is for Wright to start at the point for the next three seasons with Wormely arriving as his understudy in the fall of 2015. Then Wormley could take over for the 2017-18 season, when he would be a Siena junior.

“Since Marquis is there, they said Marquis is going to be the starting point guard for the next three years,” Wormley said. “So Coach Patsos said he wants me to play the combo (guard) and when Marquis graduates, I’ll move over to the point guard position … They said if I worked hard enough and I can show them what I can do, I can probably play right away.”
