Armstrong's addition to the team was announced on Wednesday. The team will report to training camp in August and the season will begin in October.

 In his two seasons at A&M-Commerce, Armstrong was a defensive force and a rebounding phenom for the Lions. He averaged 7.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals per game in his Lion career, playing in 59 games with 47 starts.
