1. After what was a rebuilding year last season for the Eastern Kentucky Colonels, they did lose two of their top three players, with leading-scorer Nick Mayo now playing professionally in Japan and Tay Weaver grad-transferring to St. Louis. Unfortunately, they lost another starter, when returner Kelvin Robinson was arrested in August for first-degree wanton endangerment and no operator’s license. While it isn’t clear the result of the arrest, Robinson is no longer listed on the Eastern Kentucky roster. With that being said, EKU now returns two starters from last year’s team, in Jomaru Brown and Tre King, to go along with Houston King, who started 14 games last season.
