Men's Basketball Overhauls Roster

Once again, the men's basketball team will have a completely different look in the upcoming season.

In addition to the departures of outgoing seniors Adonis Filer, and Marcus Neely, the Owls lost graduate transfer Frank Booker, and junior transfers Jeantal Cylla (UNC Wilmington) and Nick Rutherford (Monmouth).

Booker ironically now finds himself in the SEC playing for Final Four participant South Carolina.

Reserve forwards Matthew Reed (Anderson) and Jesse Hill (Tarleton) have also both transferred to DII schools.

Most importantly, the team will need to establish a new chemistry very quickly.

Below is the seven member newcomer cabinet, which is stocked heavy by the the JUCO ranks and offers five guards and two forwards:

Byron Abrams - FR PG 6-3, 175 lb – Heritage High School 9.
