Stony Brook Lands Latest New England Product
Six-foot-five senior forward Roland Nyama committed to Stony Brook on Sunday after visiting the school officially this weekend.
Nyama is in his second season at the Holderness School after arriving last October.
While Nyama earned honorable mention All New England honors last season, he was flying largely under the radar before this summer's July evaluation period when he became a popular name at Hoop Group Elite Camp and then ran with the Westchester Hawks for the remainder of the month.
Nyama and his family are originally from Cameroon, but he grew up in Germany where he turned down a professional basketball contract last year in order to come to Holderness and pursue his education.
On the basketball floor, Nyama is a highly athletic player with developing offensive skill. He has the potential to be a major weapon on the defensive end, where he's capable of matching up with multiple positions, and is able to put points on the board by getting out in transition and attacking the rim.
Nyama is the second New England prep product to commit to Stony Brook in the last two years, joining Berkshire graduate Ahmad Reid, who was one of four recruits to commit to the Sea Wolves in their celebrated 2012 class.
