Trenton Seymour Meacham gives the Flyers an end-to-end point guard who can not only lead his team and run the offense, but be the offense if needed. After missing the 2001-02 season due to injury, Meacham had a two-year run of wins and awards that climaxed with a national championship. Meacham and Flyer teammate Jimmy Binnie were first teammates on the Iowa-based Martin Brothers Select team. They closed out their AAU careers by leading Martin Brothers to the 2004 Senior Boys (19-and-under) AAU national championship in June. Meacham scored 33 points in the finals. The year before, they were runners-up at the AAU 17-and-under nationals. While playing for Martin Brothers, Meacham was co-MVP of the 2003 "Hoops to the Heartland" tournament and the 2004 Nike Memorial Day Classic. At Centennial High School in Champaign, Illinois, Meacham averaged 18.1 points, 5.6 assists and 4.0 rebounds a game as a senior. He shot 79 percent from the line, 60 percent from the field and 46 percent from three-point range. He was chosen First Team All-Illinois by the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette. He was also All-Area Player of the Year and Big 12 Conference MVP. He was also a Big 12 Scholar-Athlete. He led his team to 22 wins in 2003-04. As a junior, he was first team all-area and first-team all-league after averaging 16.4 points, 4.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds. Centennial improved eight wins from the previous year to a 17-10 record. He was one of three current Flyer freshmen to be nominated for McDonald's All-American. He shot over 50% from three-point range for his career. Meecham has two sisters-Ashley (21) and Chantal (9).
