Jackson, Scott, and Gallagher join Delaney Bernard, a 5-foot-8 shooting guard; Brandi Bain, a 5-foot-9 wing; and, Montia Moon, a 5-foot-5 guard, who signed with the Lions during the fall signing period.
“Our first recruiting class is very special,” Crocitto said, in a statement. “We have brought in kids from a few very different areas while addressing some weaknesses within our program. We have added size with three players being over 6-foot-1, shooting, and big game experience.”
Crocitto also noted the recruits have either won or contended for state championships in New York, Florida and Indiana.
