Hempstead, NY - Hofstra University Head Men's Basketball Coach Joe Mihalich announced today that Tyquone Greer has signed a National Letter of Intent with the University. 

Greer is a 6-6 guard/forward. The Chicago, Illinois native will have two years of eligibility remaining after joining the Pride for the 2016-17 academic year from Daytona State College in Daytona Beach, Florida. 

"Tyquone is a dynamic basketball player who will be a quality addition to our program," commented Mihalich. "Tyquone is a versatile player who will be able to help us in a variety of ways. He has a great knack for being able to score from anywhere on the floor and he is also a skilled defender. We look forward to Tyquone suiting up for the Pride very soon."
