COACH BEAURY ON LEDBETTER: “We are very excited to have Brian back in a Saint Rose uniform. It has been a bit of a roller coaster ride for Brian, but we expect him to be a major contributor to our team. He comes to us from SUNY Cobleskill and prior to that the University of New Haven. Brian has great speed and athleticism that help him make plays in the open court. His ability to get to the rim with force and power will make him a tough person to guard in the Northeast-10. We are looking forward to see Brian compete at a very high level.”
