1st Assistant Coach Kenyon Haynes
Early November…Time to make some decisions regarding redshirting:
C Calvin Williams and/or PF Valery Henson…both could benefit from being redshirted, but interior depth would be jeopardized if both were redshirted. Williams has has a slight edge over Henson. So we redshirted Henson. He took it well. It will be interesting to see whether Williams or Henson improves quicker and which one will be the stronger player next season.

Other news:
We’re picked to win the CAA title this season with Elon 2nd, Charleston 3rd, and James Madison 4th.
The NCAA has already found 3 teams guilty of recruiting violations including one that is on our schedule: Virginia Tech (they’ve been hammered with 3 years with no scholarships and a 2-year postseason ban as well). Other teams that have received punishment include: St. Josephs (1 year with no scholarships) and North Dakota State (no scholarships for 2 years and no postseason play for a year). I’m glad we’re running a clean program.
