Coach: Wendell Wise

Top returners: Dezmin Clark, 5-11, Sr., G; Kasual Maxwell, 6-3, Sr., F; Dai’Von Owens, 6-2, Sr., G; Zavia Jones, 5-11, Sr., G; Elijah Bowling, 5-5, Jr. G.

Coach’s comment: “This team is full of new faces that bring a new, invigorating feeling to our team. We will have great team speed and cohesion. With most players playing the same position, we will also be able to go deep on our bench during games. As a unit, we are small, with our tallest players topping at (6-foot-3-inches), making rebounding a challenge. However, we will plan and practice to overcome our height.”
