SUMMARY: The Southern Miss men’s basketball team is looking to build upon their successful 2022-2023 season by recruiting new players, specifically in the frontcourt. Head coach Jay Ladner believes that one of the team’s weaknesses last year was a lack of rim protection on defense. To address this, they have signed Tegra Izay, a seven-foot center from Harcum College. Izay started all 27 games for Harcum last season, averaging 8.4 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. Ladner hopes that Izay’s addition will help the team make it to the NCAA Tournament next season.
