Pirates add Texas talent late in summer recruiting season

Men's Basketball

Lawrence Collins III, an athletic wing player from the Houston, Texas metropolitan area, has signed a national letter of intent to play for the Pirates of North Central Missouri College, under second year coach Jeremy Esry.  Collins hails from the Houston suburb of Manvel, Texas, and joins an NCMC squad coming off an 18-10 record in 2016-2017.

In signing Collins, Coach Esry said, “We are really excited to be able to get a player like Lawrence Collins III so late in the recruiting season and feel like we got a steal in doing so. Lawrence is a long and athletic wing who can shoot the ball.  He is someone we think will fit in really well with our program and our culture at North Central.”
