John Citizen Analysis
LIU was unable to attract the calibre player it desires and this year secured only two new recruits. JC recruit Crooks will no doubt be an excellent short term addition, while Argentinian Quinteros will be a project player over the next 4 years.
2 further players will join our team this season after a season sitting on the bench for us as transfers. Ben Weaver, a JR from Duke, starved of opportunity and after academic probation has only appeared in 19 games since being recruited as #31 ranked player of his class. He is a SG that can score and is very athletic. Davor Pirker is the second recruit, a C out of Croatia, who started for Michigan in his FR season averaging 6.7ppg 4.4rpg. He is the third Croatian player to join LIU under John Citizens tenure and was ranked #47 in his recruiting class. Pirker is a SO who is still raw but has potential to be a good rebounder, defender and shot blocker.
