He averaged 9.1 points per game on the year.^[2] He helped persuade the school to hire Nate Oats as coach after Bobby Hurley left the program.^[1] Skeete averaged 7.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game as a senior.^[3] Skeete graduated with a degree in communications.^[1]

Professional career

Skeete signed with the Cape Breton Highlanders, an expansion franchise in NBL Canada, in November 2016.^[3] The following season, Skeete signed with the St. John's Edge. Edge fans would frequently cheer "Skeete" at games due to its regional slang.^[4]
