WEST HARTFORD, Conn. — Sean Witecy knew exactly what he wanted after graduating in 2017 from Elkhorn High School in Nebraska. He wanted a big college. He wanted to play Division I basketball. He tried, with no luck, to play at Creighton and at Texas Christian, which he ended up attending as a freshman but not as a player.
Now, later this month, Witecy will be part of the first class of young men to enroll at the University of St. Joseph, a Roman Catholic school in this Hartford suburb that was established in 1932 and is newly coed.
