Moorpark College pitcher Landon Hunt has signed a letter of intent to play for Long Beach State.

The sophomore from Moorpark High provided three of the Raiders' nine wins last spring, striking out 61 in 64 2/3 innings. Hunt also led Moorpark in batting average, collecting 17 hits in just 47 at bats.

Ventura College men's basketball forward James Ennis signed a letter of intent to play for Long Beach State Wednesday.

After receiving the letter, 49ers coach Dan Monson expressed his excitement:

"Our staff feels he is the best player in the Southern California junior college system and has the ability to be the most versatile player in our program," said Monson in a release. "He can play either guard spot along with the small forward position.

"James is a tremendous athlete with great size and length along with a very high level skill package. He will also help address our need for perimeter shooting."

James Ennis, Ventura College's 6-foot-7 forward, verbally committed to Long Beach State head coach Dan Monson Monday after an on-campus visit.

The Ventura High product is expected to sign a letter of intent today to join the 49ers next season, VC coach Will Cowen said Tuesday.

"I think it's a good place for him," said Cowen.

Ennis is averaging 22.3 points and 8.3 rebounds through three games for the 2-1 Pirates after transferring from Oxnard College, where he averaged 19.0 points and 7.7 rebounds as a freshman. As a high jumper, he also won the Western State Conference and Southern California regional titles.
