    St. Catharine mens' head basketball coach J.T. Burton is looking to strengthen his team for the 2010-11 season. Burton has been busy recruiting, and recently added a trio of signees to his roster.

    Burton signed Troy Lambert from New Orleans, La. The 6-foot-8-inch Lambert played at Los Positas Community College in California, where he averaged 16 points and 13 rebounds per game.

    “He is very athletic and he has a motor that never stops,” said Burton.
