Per Twitter, DeSaun Thrower and his family are expected on SBU's
campus today. He's a good one!! Apparently, he's quite the FB
player, as well. But, with Paul Jorgensen off the table, I
would love to see the Seawolves get Thrower!!

Looks like DeShaun Thrower has commited to the Seawolves based
upon his official visit. I think he's a really good get for
Coach Pikiell, and helps solidify the PG situation out into the
future.
If Sekunda is receiving a scholly, this would be the last one
available for 2014. If not, there is still the possibility that
SBU can sign another one of the wing guys they seemed to have
been after.

Great news sbugold
Seems like we are set for the year as you mentioned unless
Sekunda is not on schollie.
Thrower seems like a great athlete and has played in decision
making positions both in Bb and Fb as PG and QB. Seems like we
will be adding a PG every other year.

Per his twitter Sekunda is rehabbing his knee but will play this
year. I have a feeling that there is a good chance that he is
coming as a walk on rather than on schollie. You are right
though that we might sign one more. Pikiell will probably add
one more only if he finds a real talent. Otherwise he might keep
the schollie for next year.

The kid looks to be quite the athlete, doesn't he? His
excellent vision in finding the holes and the open receivers
speaks well for his potential for finding the open man as SBU's
future PG, don't you think?

I love the way defenders bounce off him. He's a big strong kid
that still has the athleticism to play at rim. He'll be exciting
to watch in a seawolves uniform.

I thought this excerpt from the "City of Basketball Love" blog
re: one of the Seawolves' committed recruits for next year was
worth notin. I included the portion about Trayvon Reed to keep
Sturdivant's section in context:
[b]"Trayvon Reed (2014/Life Center)
The 7-foot-1 Maryland commit was an absolute force on the
defensive side of the court. Reed swatted away shots left and
right and forced every team that played Life Center to score
from the outside. It was clear on Saturday that his defensive
talent and size will be a big asset when he moves to the
collegiate level next year, but his offensive game is still very
raw.
Tyrell Sturdivant (2014/Chester)
In Chester’s matchup against Life Center, Sturdivant had to
guard Reed, who has at least six inches of height on him. That
didn’t seem to phase the Stony Brook commit though, as the
senior never backed down from the challenge and continually
matched the opposing center with great defensive play of his
own. That’s been a common theme this summer for Sturdivant, who
played well against an even higher-rated center (Kentucky-bound
Karl Towns, Jr.) in a game against St. Joseph’s-Metuchen at
Temple’s team camp earlier this summer."[b]
