App State men’s basketball tips off 2022-23 season

After clinching a berth to the NCAA Tournament in 2021, the Mountaineers had high expectations to get back to the tournament in 2022, but were unsuccessful in doing so after a loss to Georgia State in the semifinals of the Sun Belt Tournament.

This year’s 2022-23 roster is very different from the ones seen in the past two seasons, with Michael Almonacy, Justin Forrest, Adrian Delph and James Lewis Jr. all graduating, and RJ Duhart entering the transfer portal. The Mountaineers are replacing nearly 75% of their three point-makes from last year.

With these key losses, App State picked up six new guys — four from the transfer portal and two from high school.
