MEN’S BASKETBALL: Nickerson becomes Lamar’s second signee for ’19-20
Published 1:11 pm Thursday, April 25, 2019
Houston Sterling senior Corey Nickerson has signed a letter of intent with Lamar, the university announced Thursday.
Nickerson is a 6-foot-8, 185-pound forward who averaged 21 points, 13.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.3 steals and 2.2 blocks this season for the Raiders, according to MaxPreps. Nickerson looks to fill a key void left by graduating Lamar senior Josh Nzeakor, an All-Southland Conference performer.
Nickerson is just the second Cardinals’ signee for the 2019-20 season. Clarendon College’s Ellis Jefferson, who prepped at San Antonio Brandeis, officially committed last Thursday and should fill the role of graduating senior Nick Garth.
Houston Sterling’s Raiders are not to be confused with the Baytown Sterling Rangers.
