This dog is ready to run with the upstart Huskies.
Ypsilanti Lincoln’s Ty Groce has made it offical. After coming back from a visit from Boston, Ty sat down with his mom Marion (a former Ferris State Bulldog), and minutes later broke the news. Big Ty will be attending Northeastern next year.
Groce had a strong season for Splitter Nation last year, averaging 14 points and six rebounds per-game. The decision ultimately came down to Duquesne, Rice, and Northeastern. The visit to Northeastern is where Ty fell in love.
“I like the old style feel to the campus,” said Groce, “the Northeastern basketball family, and the school’s strong commitment to academics.”
Groce at a long and lean 6-8 is one of Michigan’s top seniors. His ability to step out and make the three-ball and get points in the paint make him a perfect fit for Coach Bill Cohen’s up-tempo style of play. Northeastern is a program on the rise going 23-12 last year and winning both the Colonial regular season and tournament championships. The Huskies made their first tournament appearence since 1991 in 2015, and gave Norte Dame a scare losing in the second round of the NCAA tournament 69-65. The Huskies have held colonial regular season title 2 of the last 3 years.
Ty credits assistant Brain McDonald for being the point man on his recruitment, and hopes to contribute as a freshman for the Huskies. Until then, he will lead Splitter Nation into battle this winter.
