From Liburd’s bio at Coastal Carolina following his signing last November:
Liburd brings a winning mentality to the Chanticleers after helping lead Sagemont Prep to a 25-6 record, and the 2024 FHSAA Class 2A State Championship.
Last season Liburd scored 16.3 points per game and also averaged 5.4 rebounds per game. He also chipped in with 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game.
He also played for SOH Elite who placed third at the Under Armour Next AAU Circuit. He averaged 9.9 points and 4.3 rebounds per game while playing with SOH Elite.
Coastal Carolina head coach Justin Gray broke down his game.
“Ricky is a big guard that can defend multiple positions, play above the rim and can shoot the ball with range,” Gray said.
In his initial recruitment, Liburd also had an offer from Murray State and opportunities to play for Cornell and Princeton.
