HOMEGROWN: A year after bringing in a talented freshman class of Chicago natives, Wardle looked closer to home for seniors from the Class of The Phoenix roster consists of four freshmen from Wisconsin, including Nick Arenz (Onalaska, Wis.), Ryan Bross (Menomonee Falls, Wis.), Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) and Carrington Love (Milwaukee, Wis.). COME JOIN: Not to ignore his home area of Chicago, Wardle also welcomed a pair of transfers who come to Green Bay from the Chicago area. Eastern Illinois transfer Alfonzo McKinnie is a Chicago native and former high school teammate of Sykes while junior college transfer Sultan Muhammad, a Michigan native, played at Chicago s South Suburban College. BLOCK PARTY: It has become a little tougher for Green Bay opponents to shoot in the lane since Brown s arrival on campus. In his first two seasons, the 7-foot-1 Brown has swatted 156 shots to shatter the Phoenix career record. With 89 blocks as a sophomore, Brown averaged 3.0 per game, a number that ranked in the top-10 nationally. Another 36 combined blocks from Brennan Cougill and Greg Mays helped the team register a school-record 142 for the year. TALL ORDER: Wardle pledged early on in his tenure to add height and length to the Phoenix roster. Consider it mission accomplished as the roster s 14 players have an average height of over 6-foot-5. The addition of the 7-foot-2 Bross gives Green Bay a pair of seven-footers, and six others stand at least 6-foot-6. Newcomers McKinnie (6-8), Arenz (6-8) and Fouse (6-7) will help to make Green Bay one of the tallest teams in the Horizon League. SULTAN MUHAMMAD #1 Junior, 6-1/194, Grand Rapids, Mich.
