STONY BROOK, N.Y. — The Seawolves have brought in a third Long Island high school product, as Tykei Greene was added to the Class of 2020 signees on Wednesday.
 
"Sometimes, when something feels right, you have to go with it," Greene said. "This change of scenery will allow me to experience college and basketball a bit more different. So I'm excited to be part of a great program like Stony Brook and I'm just excited about how much it feels right for me."
 
Greene joins the Seawolves after two years at Manhattan College, where he was one of the top wings in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. He made 23 starts this season, appearing in 28 contests for the Japsers, averaging just under 10 points a game at 9.7.
 
"Tykei is exactly the type of player we want in our program," head coach Geno Ford said. "He is a terrific player, and has demonstrated that for two seasons at Manhattan, with his toughness and scoring abilities."
 
Those were highlighted in his 15 double-figure scoring performances this season, including a 25-point outburst at Long Island rivals Hofstra on Dec. 22. He shot 10-for-17 and made all five of his 3-point attempts that night. He also led the team in scoring on seven different occasions.
 
"He is also a very motivated student and is simply a winner in all areas of his life," Ford added.  We fully expect him to be a significant contributor for our program."
 
The MAAC All-Academic Team honoree in 2019-20 was also named the league's Player of the Week after averaging 17 points, six rebounds, a block and a steal per contest during the first week of January. He also posted a stellar game against his new America East rival in UAlbany, scoring 17 points and hauling in nine boards and swiping two steals in the win.
 
"Time to start working on my craft and help keep the culture that those before me have set," Greene added. "The best is ahead."
