Navy men's basketball lost three starters to graduation in point guard Tilman Dunbar, wing guard Kendall Knorr and center Will Kelly. The Midshipmen suffered an unexpected loss when Jace Hogan resigned from the academy and transferred.
Hogan would have been Navy's second-leading returning scorer behind classmate Shawn Anderson after netting 9.7 points per game in 2015-2016. The 6-foot-6, 217-pound power forward was the team's second-leading rebounder last season with an average of 4.8.
"Jace Hogan, after a long spring and summer, did not want to serve," Navy head coach Ed DeChellis said on Tuesday during the team's media day.
