Men's Basketball Adds Nine Players To 2018-19 Roster

05/10/2018 12:29

To say that first year head coach Joe White has hit the recruiting trail running would be a vast understatement.  It’s been more like a full on sprint.  To date, nine players have been added to the 2018-19 roster which only had three guys returning from the 2017-18 roster. The three returners are Jesse Hubbe, Gabe Sorber, and Mike Swadberg.

Creating a winning culture begins with “high character players who are dedicated to the process both academically and athletically and guys that all share the same vision”, says White.
