WINSTON-SALEM - Three freshmen non-scholarship walk-on players, including two with local ties, have been added to the Wake Forest 2005-06 men's basketball roster.

Joining the Deacons are 6-7 forward Bobby Hoekstra (Lewisville, NC), 6-2 guard Matt Smith (Advance, NC) and 6-1 guard Mike Lepore (Flemington, NJ).

Hoekstra is a local product who enjoyed an outstanding prep career at Forsyth Country Day. A basketball and baseball standout for the Furies, Hoekstra averaged 15 points and 11 rebounds per game last season.

Smith played his prep basketball at Davie County High School, where he was all-conference and offensive team MVP.

Lepore played on the high school level at Lawrenceville Prep in New Jersey, where he lettered in both basketball and golf.

Wake Forest opens exhibition play Thursday night at Lawrence Joel Coliseum against Winston-Salem State at approximately 7:15 p.m.
