LIU men’s basketball completes new recruiting class
Addition of Agosto Solidifies Returning Blackbirds Roster
It very well may be the beginning of something big for the LIU-Brooklyn men’s basketball program.
After reaching the Northeast Conference Tournament semifinals last season, something they hadn’t achieved since capping off their record-setting run of three consecutive league titles back in 2013, head coach Jack Perri’s crew appears poised to make a serious run to the top of the NEC in 2016-17.
With returning upperclassmen like senior Joel Hernandez, junior Nura Zanna and fourth-year guard Iverson Fleming, Perri added a trio of new recruits to the mix this past offseason, including Tuesday’s announcement that guard Jashaun Agosto would be in Downtown Brooklyn for the next four years.
