In need of immediate help, Norfolk State University basketball has gone all in on transfers.
Spartans Coach Robert Jones recently announced three more signings — all transfers.
The latest players to commit to NSU are 6-foot-4 Alex Brown from Brunswick Community College in North Carolina, 6-foot-3 Micah Goss from Roane State Community College in Tennessee and 6-foot-2 Carrington Ward, a graduate from University of North Texas.
Earlier this spring, NSU’s Coach Jones announced transfer additions of 6-foot-10 Bryan Gellineau from Essex Community College in New Jersey, 6-foot-8 Stavian Allen from Tallahassee Community College in Florida and 6-foot-4 Kyle Williams from Niagara Community College in New York.
Also, two Division I transfers who sat out last year at NSU become eligible to play in the 2016-17 season. They are 6-foot-4 Kervin Okoro who arrived from Rutgers University in New Jersey and 7-foot Chesapeake native Dan Robinson from Iona College in New York.
NSU was 17-17 last season, qualifying for the College Insider.Com Tournament. However, the Spartans will lose three seniors — Jeff Short, D’Shon Taylor and Charlie Oliver — who were responsible for 51 of the team’s 73-points per game.
