Iona College has secured a significant addition to its basketball team with the commitment of Adam Njie, a 2024 guard from Cardinal Hayes High School, marking the fourth commit in this coming class for coach Tobin Anderson. Njie, previously committed to Washington State, is noted for being a higher-rated recruit than anyone signed by the former coach, Rick Pitino, to the Gaels. This move comes as a crucial step in rebuilding Iona's roster, which has seen substantial departures due to graduation and transfers. Njie is praised for his skills and is expected to make an immediate impact in the MAAC, according to Cardinal Hayes coach Joe Lods.
"Adam is a tremendously skilled guard who will make an immediate impact in the MAAC," @CardinalHayes coach Joe Lods said. More on ZAGSBLOG @IonaGaelsMBB https://t.co/aBfS85h8fq
That would def be a win-the-press-conference hire that Canisius likely can’t match. Then we see if GMac can do all the things required of a head coach these days. The MAAC cannot have a 4-28 Siena program. https://t.co/I7fP5x3sor
Iona lands 3-star guard Adam Njie. https://t.co/o87CnkWT5l @IonaGaelsMBB
BREAKING: 2024 guard Adam Njie has committed to Iona. The Cardinal Hayes product is Iona’s fourth commit in this coming class, and will help rebuild a Gaels roster that lost literally everyone to either graduation or the transfer portal. Very good pickup for Tobin Anderson.
Amazingly, a higher-rated recruit than anyone signed by Rick Pitino to the Gaels. https://t.co/L6KBInBkSW
Cardinal Hayes’ Adam Njie, a one-time Washington State commit, has announced for Iona. Really nice add for Tobin Anderson. Three-star guard.
