Rams Rookies: 2019-20 Men’s Basketball 

2019 SUFFOLK MEN'S BASKETBALL ROSTER

BOSTON – Suffolk men's basketball's head coach Jeff Juron has added half a dozen newcomers to the Rams ranks for the upcoming 2019-20 campaign. 

The group of six, all of whom are guards, is comprised of five true freshmen and one junior transfer. The latest editions to the men's basketball program represent a pair of states – Massachusetts and New Hampshire – as well as Bermuda and the United Kingdom.  

Nate Hale is the lone transfer of the bunch and brings a wealth of GNAC familiarity with him to Beacon Hill after playing his sophomore season at Suffolk's league foe Rivier.  

"Nate (Hale) was a standout player in the GNAC a year ago," said Juron. "He's made a quick transition to our program's way of doing things. We're excited about what he can do here."
