DENVER – The University of Denver Men's Basketball head coach
Jeff Wulbrun signed incoming freshman Tymotuesz Sternicki to the roster for the 2024-25 year, the program announced on Tuesday.
"We're thrilled to welcome Tymo to our DU program," Wulbrun said. "He's also an outstanding student and a great fit for our culture."
"At 6-9, he's is a very long, active, and athletic player on both ends of the floor. I love his versatility, he moves his feet extremely well for his size, can defend multiple positions, and uses his length to bother and discourage shots. Offensively, he is an excellent 3-point shooter, can create his own shot off the bounce by changing direction and speeds, displays a high basketball IQ and just out runs people in transition. Tymo will get valuable experience this summer playing for the Polish National U18 team, which should serve as a great springboard for him as an incoming freshman."
A 6-foot 9 small forward from Gdynia, Poland. Sternicki comes to Denver with international experience, having played on the U15, U17 and U18 teams in Poland. He led his team to U15 and U17 Polish championships as well as being named the U15 Championship MVP in 2021.
Sternicki joins
Nicholas Shogbonyo (Arlington, Texas),
Sebastian Akins (Concord, N.C.),
Josh Pickett (Plainfield, Ill.) and
Jon Mani (Los Angeles, Calif.) as newcomers on next year's roster.
