The Ospreys seemed to plateau a bit this past season after 2 years of big improvement.   Mercer, USCU and FGCU stepped on past them.  UNF never really found a strong replacement for graduated point guard Haugabrouck (Will Wilson didn’t do the job).  They hope that freshman Ray Rodriguez will fill that gap this year.  UNF brings back everybody but role players Jimmy Williams and Matt Sauey, and will have a senior laden team with experienced  scorers Jerron Granberry and Parker Smith, and with inside players Andy Diaz, and David Jeune joined by Junior Travis Wallace.   Williams had the muscle and athleticism to give them a change of pace penetrator, and he will be missed.  They do get some extra length in highly touted 6’8” 195 FR guard Beau Beech, 6’8” 190 Fr Demarcus Daniels and 6’7” 180 Fr. Cameron Naylor.   A short front line has given them matchup problems against Mercer. If senior leadership counts for something, these guys should be better.
