Jules Bernard; Fr; G; 6-6; A smorgasbord of possibilities for freshman who can shoot, drive and handle ball.

Moses Brown; Fr.; C; 7-2; Shot-blocking, dunking fiend needs a nickname to encapsulate his dominance.

Armani Dodson; Jr.; G; 6-5; Biggest contribution could be pushing his teammates in practices.

Jalen Hill; Fr.; F; 6-10; Eager to make news for something besides international shoplifting incident.

Kenneth Nwuba; Fr.; F; 6-9; Will fight for minutes in a crowded frontcourt filled with talent.

Alex Olesinski; Jr.; F; 6-10; Stress fracture in foot is expected to keep him out until December.

Shareef O’Neal; Fr.; F; 6-9; Heart surgery to fix electrical problem will sideline him for entire season.
