HAMILTON – Colgate University Head Men's Basketball Coach
Matt Langel has announced three additions to the Raiders' roster for the upcoming 2026-27 season.
The incoming class – comprising two first-years and a sophomore transfer – adds versatile guard depth from three different states. The three newcomers join an experienced group of 11 returners who guided Colgate to an 18-15 record and a ninth consecutive trip to the Patriot League semifinals last year.
"We are very much looking forward to this group arriving on campus," Langel said. "They have a diverse set of experiences as players and as people, and unique talents and character that make them individuals we believe will add significant value to our campus and our basketball program."
