The best returning player for Morehead State this season was supposed to be sophomore Tyzhaun Claude. The 6’8″-240 pound forward started 19 games last year as a true freshman. Claude was third on the team in scoring last season with 9.5 points per game and led the team in rebounding at 6.4 per contest. While not much of an outside threat yet, Claude was a fantastic paint presence, shooting nearly 60% and only fouling two times a game on the defensive end.
Unfortunately for Morehead State and the Goldsboro, North Carolina native, he tore his ACL in practice on November 11th and will be sidelined for the season.
