The Coastal Carolina men’s basketball team lost just three players to graduation off last year’s squad, yet it has seven new additions this season.
The team has increased from 12 to 15 players this season after coach Cliff Ellis was left with a smaller roster when some recruits weren’t admitted into CCU last year, and the team features six freshmen or redshirt freshmen and a sophomore.
“We’ve got a lot of pieces,” Ellis said. “We have veteran guys mixed with a lot of new faces. New guys coming into the mix are really giving us the depth I think we need.
