MANILA — Lyceum of the Philippines University is set to parade three new players as they look to further improve their roster in NCAA seniors' basketball.

The Pirates announced on Sunday that they have secured the commitment of Desmond Pyne, while Jovan Abregana and RA Brucal are also bound to transfer to the Intramuros-based institution.

"On behalf of LPU, sir, we consider ourselves fortunate to have them on our team. They will be a significant part of our program in the years to come as we strive to create an environment where inspiration thrives and camaraderie flourishes," said LPU head coach Gilbert Malabanan, who will be entering his fourth year as the Pirates' tactician. 

Pyne is a 6-foot-5 forward who played for Desert Oasis High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will be eligible starting NCAA Season 100.

On the other hand, Abregana is a 6-foot-3 winger who played one year at De Anza College, while Brucal, who is a 5-foot-10 combo guard from Dale Singson's AAU program Clifton Tigers, spent one year at Seton Hall University.

They will have to sit out one year before being eligible for NCAA Season 101.

Meanwhile, the Junior Pirates program will now be aligned with the seniors' program, as former PBA player Al Vergara will be taking the reins of their junior team to take the place of JC Doto.

The Pirates finished in fourth place last season, while the Junior Pirates ended their campaign in ninth place with a 2-7 record, and they are hoping that these sets of player and coaching movements will boost their chances of getting at the top of their respective NCAA divisions.
