   Chris Cheeks returns to the Georgia State staff for a second season. Cheeks is a former college all-conference player and has previously been on college coaching staffs at West Virginia University and Virginia Commonwealth University. His work with last year's 20-9 Panther team included helping the team set a new school record for most assists. After a stellar playing career, he began his coaching career on the staff at Atlee High in Mechanicsville, Va. (Richmond area). After two years, Cheeks joined the Virginia Commonwealth staff. He worked four seasons with VCU and then accepted an opportunity to work with West Virginia in the summer of 2000 and spent two seasons with the Mountaineers.
   
   A 1990 VCU graduate, Cheeks is the most prolific two-year scorer in Rams' history. A first-team all-Sun Belt selection in 1989, his 23.8-point scoring average led the conference in scoring and was the third highest single-season average in VCU history. Cheeks was an honorable mention All-America pick by Associated Press, United Press International, and Basketball Times. One of just two players in VCU history to average better than 20 points per game for his career (20.1 ppg), Cheeks started all 63 games at guard during his two seasons at VCU, scoring 1,273 points. He contributed 4.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game, while his 10 games with 30 or more points are more than anyone else in Rams' history. As a junior during the 1987-88 season, Cheeks helped the Rams to a 23-12 record, including a 10-4 mark in the Sun Belt Conference, while earning second team all-conference honors. That season, Cheeks was part of a team that advanced to the quarterfinals of the National Invitational Tournament, the first trip to the postseason for the Rams in four seasons. As a senior, Chris was named the Sports Illustrated national player-of-the-week after scoring 100 points in three games during a week in January. Cheeks' highest scoring game was a Richmond Coliseum-record 42 points in VCU's 101-93 overtime win over Old Dominion on Jan. 14,1 989. In his career he had 10 games of 30 or more points scoring. Cheeks, who played pro ball in Portugal following his time at VCU, started his college basketball playing career at Lon Morris Junior College in Texas, where he averaged 21.3 points and 7.0 rebounds per game. Cheeks earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va.
   
   Personal: Chris Cheeks was born May 27, 1967, and grew up in Washington, D.C. and has two brothers. He was a first-team All-Metro performer in basketball at Woodrow Wilson High and led his team to the championship game as a junior.
