App State is welcoming seven players to their men’s basketball program for the 2020-21 season. Of the seven, three are transfers and four are freshmen coming out of high school.

This recruiting class had to adjust to a different kind of season due to COVID-19 guidelines and hasn’t had the regular opportunities to prepare for the season.

“With the NCAA rules, we would’ve scrimmaged probably one or two people by now, at least one, to get a chance to adjust some things and see yourself against someone else,” head coach Dustin Kerns said.
