<p>Post was <a href="https://posteagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/phil-urban/11698" target="_blank" rel="noopener">listed</a> as a six-foot, six-inch freshman from Manalapan, New Jersey, who graduated from Pennington High School.</p>
<p>University President John Hopkins said in a <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/connecticut-college-basketball-player-shot-dead-new-jersey-nature-pres-rcna62342" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> that Urban &#8220;modeled the attributes of leadership, commitment and hard work on the court and in the classroom&#8221; as a member of the men&#8217;s basketball team and as a business administration major.</p>
<p>&#8220;We hope that his family, friends and those affected by his passing will find strength during this extremely difficult time,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>As a freshman at Post, Urban played in four games this season, with his last on December 6, <a href="https://njhoops.rivals.com/news/phil-urban-rip" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> NJ Hoops. He ranked as a top recruit in the state as a senior, the outlet added.</p>
<p>The shooting death follows another recent killing of three University of Virginia football players last month. The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alleged-uva-gunman-nabbed-dead-victims-idd-as-3-members-of-football-team" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the student-athletes were fatally shot on a bus returning from a field trip, according to authorities, who announced a former player had been arrested in connection with the mass shooting.</p>
<p>The slain players were identified as Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr., both wide receivers, and D’Sean Perry, a linebacker and defensive end. Two other students were injured. The shooting prompted a lockdown on the school’s Charlottesville campus while police hunted the suspect throughout the night.</p>
<p>“This is a sad, shocking, and tragic day for our UVA community,” University of Virginia President Jim Ryan said.</p>
