Binghamton coach Tommy Dempsey landed his point guard of the future Sunday when Yosef Yacob committed after an official visit.
The 6-foot, 160-pound Yacob plays for Archbishop Carroll High and the Team Final AAU program. He chose Binghamton over Rider, Quinnipiac, Robert Morris and Albany.
“I picked them because they had a great staff and have always been loyal to me,” Yacob told SNY.tv.
“I feel like I will make a positive impact when I come. I will be a leader and try to win as many games as possible.”
“He has a great work ethic,” Team Final coach Rob Brown told SNY.tv. “Yosef is just a great kid and will help Coach Dempsey turn it around up there. He’s a solid player all-around. He’s been with us for three years and I think his better days are ahead.”
In his first year as coach after leaving Rider, Dempsey also recently landed Karon Waller, a 6-4 2012 shooting guard from Camden, N.J.
