Lyrik Shreiner, TCU

In a move right before the final deadline to enroll for the fall quarter at DePaul, Blue Demons coach Dave Leitao added some depth for his 2018-19 team.

Lyrik Shreiner, a 6-3, 190 lb. guard from Cal State University in Northridge has been added to this year’s roster. Shreiner will have two years of eligibility remaining after playing one year at Northridge and one year at Texas Christian University.

Shreiner averaged nine points, 4.7 rebounds, and two assists per game for the Matadors last season, while shooting 45.4 percent from the field. He started 29 of the 30 games for Northridge, where he played for former Chicago Bull Reggie Theus. His best performance came in the final game of the season vs. Cal State Fullerton on February 28th, when he contributed a career-high of 20 points to go along with six rebounds, and four assists. Lyrik racked up three double-doubles in Big West conference play last season.

"We are really happy to add Lyrik to our team at this stage of the preseason," said Leitao. "He has experience playing college basketball over his two seasons at TCU and Cal State Northridge and provides us added depth in our backcourt. Lyrik is a high-level player in the offensive end of the floor and possesses a high basketball IQ that can help every day in practice and during the season when we open our schedule."

Lyrik played sparingly as a freshman at TCU while averaging 1.9 points per game.

Shreiner originally hails from Phoenix, Arizona and played for Hillcrest Academy where he averaged 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists as a senior. Before Hillcrest, he played at Westwind Prep Academy where he broke the Arizona High School state scoring record with 65 points on 26 for 27 overall shooting from the floor. He was rated as a three star prospect coming out of high school by 247 Sports.

Lyrik gives DePaul some added depth and ballhandling in the backcourt where redshirt sophomore Devin Gage and redshirt freshman Flynn Cameron are expected to play at point guard this season.
