Western Kentucky men's basketball coach Ray Harper was lauding his program's graduation rate to a player's parent recently and mentioned that he had three seniors set to leave with their degrees in the spring.
Then Harper caught himself, and corrected that he has three seniors on track to complete their master's degrees.
Guard Aaron Cosby and forwards Nigel Snipes and Aleksej Rostov are not a typical senior class. All three already have their undergraduate degrees, and they've all been at WKU for different lengths of time: Snipes for five years, Rostov for four and Cosby for one.
