RICHMOND, Ky. – Shadrak Lasu, a 6-foot-8 forward, will transfer to play basketball at Eastern Kentucky University.
 
Lasu played his first two seasons of collegiate basketball at Long Island University.  He helped the Sharks to a 24-11 record and Northeast Conference regular season and tournament titles this past season.  LIU faced No. 1 seed Arizona in the NCAA Tournament. 
 
As a sophomore, Lasu averaged 5.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks while starting 34 games for LIU.  He shot 53% from the field and hit 9-of-21 from behind the arc (43%).
 
"Shadrak is our kind of player," said EKU Head Coach A.W. Hamilton.  "He's a 2-year starter, he's been to the NCAA Tournament, and he brings toughness and physicality every time he steps on the floor.  His versatility, both offensively and defensively, fit us perfectly.  He hasn't even scratched the surface on how good he's going to be."
 
The Winnipeg, Canada native scored a season-best 13 points and grabbed a season-high 13 rebounds against Wagner in the semifinals of the NEC Tournament.  He blocked six shots in a game against Stonehill.
 
As a freshman in 2024-25, Lasu earned NEC All-Rookie Team honors after averaging 5.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game.  He led the conference in rebounds per game.  He was chosen as the NEC Rookie of the Week twice and the NEC Prime Performer on two occasions.  Lasu scored a season-best 16 points against Lehigh and pulled down a season-high 12 rebounds against Chicago State.
 
Lasu played at Northstar Prep where he was a National Preparatory Association (NPA) All-Defensive First Team selection.
