LIU’s veteran forward brings steady two-way grit
In the 2007-08 season, Eugene Kotorobai was a reliable frontcourt piece for LIU, leading the team with 12.9 points and 6.9 rebounds per game while adding a balanced, low-drama presence on both ends[10]. At 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, he profiles as an old-school, physical forward who can rebound, defend, and score in the flow rather than needing the ball to dominate the offense[2][10]. He wasn’t a pure shot-maker by the numbers, but his value is the kind coaches love: toughness, consistency, and front-line versatility[2].
