Lassen College is starting to be a draw for many talents in the Oakland area.  It is reported that McClymonds standout Lawrence Otis, and Oakland High point guard Meshawn Beard are on campus for the 2013-14 school year.
Lawrence 'Steady' Otis attended Lassen last year but was unable to play since he started the year attending CCSF.  He is a strong 6'3 shooting guard.  His senior year at McClymonds he averaged 16.7 pts, 5.0 rebounds and 2 assists. Otis earned 1st Team OAL & Honorable Mention All-State for his efforts as a senior.

Meshawn Beard

Meshawn Beard averaged 12 points per game this past season at Oakland High.  Beard also earned 1st Team OAL his senior year. He is an athletic point guard and has shown the ability to be a lock down defender.
Also returning from the Bay Area to Lassen this year is sophomore guard Lawrence Melton out of Thurgood Marshall in San Francisco.
