After a twenty-wind twelve-loss season, they lost almost everyone, with just rising sophomore Selim London coming back. He's the only scholarship guy locked in after playing all 32 games last year.

Now they've got nine scholarship players locked for the 202627 season, with room for

1:00six more under NCAA rules. The latest ad, TJ Caldwell from Arkansas State, just signed this week, averaging nearly ten points a game. Expect more moves as May hits.
