Scholarship is a nice tribute. Maybe hang his number somewhere in the Mack. The guy was a joy to watch during a low point in the program.

It would be cool if they could do something like the men’s lacrosse team does with Nick Colleluori’s #27. It’s clear how much of an impact Zeke had on the school when you look at pretty much every HU student athlete’s social media accounts. That seems like an appropriate way to embody his spirit.

To ProudofPride, What a great idea! I always admire colleges that have a legacy number for a specific sport. It can be used a teaching tool for the players and the fans. Let's try to get the HU Athletic Department and Coach Joe to go along with the suggestion.

Love to see a ZEKE Patch on our unis for next year then a jersey raise at the Mack at our first home game.

He's got a spot in the practice facility now, looks like it's courtesy of the Pistons

I don't think so; the Pistons honorarily called him up to the NBA team. The board in the practice facility lists all former Hofstra players that have played in the NBA. Hofstra updated the sign to include Zeke in the NBA portion of it.

I think the board lists any Hofstra player who has played professionally (anywhere). Many on that list have played overseas, but not in the NBA.

Correct but it has pictures along the top for the NBA players and on the bottom just lists the other professional players. Zeke was now added to the top section with his picture while he already was on the bottom list.
