Mike averaged around eight points a game last year so he wasn t that far off. Mike is coming into his own to where he will build on last year. He is a great shooter for his size. He is a player with a lot of potential who can really help this team. 40

Played only three games his senior season before undergoing surgery on both knees. Coach Romar on Zach Johnson He will definitely red-shirt this year. Zach is a banger. He loves contact and does not mind mixing it up at all. In fact, he would prefer to mix it up. To be 6-8 and 245 and be as agile and fast as he is is unique. He s very quick. He ll redshirt this year while he rehabs his knees. We imagine at some time during the year that he will begin practicing with us too and learn as much as he can this year. He can use either hand around the rim. He will outrun a lot of guys his size. He has a chance to be a really good player. 44
