Les Johns, publisher of Deacons Illustrated, reports that both Ryan Anderson and Thomas Brown will be suspended to begin the season. They are being suspended for a "violation of team rules." Anderson, a redshirt freshman, will be suspended for five games, while Brown, a junior, will only be suspended for the season-opener against Elon. This news comes just three days before preseason camp starts.
