This is the roster as we speak - apparently still subject to change:
2017-18
C Duop Reath, Sr.
F Jeremy Combs, Sr. Transfer
G Brandon Sampson, Jr.
G Daryl Edwards, Jr. Transfer
G Tremont Waters, Fr.
G Skylar Mays, So.
F Mayan Kiir, Fr.
F Galen Alexander, Fr.
G Brandon Rachal, Fr.
F Aaron Epps, Sr.
F Wayde Sims, So.
G Jalyn Patterson, Sr.

Our guards are our strength and we will play an uptempo style of ball with a pressing defense. Tremont Waters will have a lot of pressure placed on his young, freshman head. He will be our point guard and be responsible for making decisions and running the offense. He will also have to be a scorer and the guy that makes the pressure defense work as he will be on the ball all the way down the court.

Big men are a complete mystery and we will have to see if Reath and Epps have improved. If not then Coombs the transfer and kiir a Freshman will get lots of playing time. Outside shooting is another potential weakness like it was last year. Sampson needs to really start playing to potential with Mays, Patterson and Edwards hitting threes also. I think one of the freshman forwards are supposed to be able to shoot from outside also.

Our real strength is the coach on the bench and whether he can get them to play as a team and do what he asks them to. This, more than anything else, is what we lacked in the CJJ era.
