Stetson started with new coach optimism for Casey Alexander but finished poorly. The model that he was emulating was clear as the Hatters finished second only to Belmont in assists and 3 pointers made. But although Alexander returns his top 6 players, he might be better advised to clean house and hit the recruiting trail if he can’t get a better effort out of his returnees than he got down the stretch last year. In any case he will have a job convincing those who return that they can win. As with Jacksonville, it’s still hard to see them being worse than this year’s 9-20 (6-12 in conference). Kyle Sicora 7’0” 240 transfer arrives from Oakland where he averaged 1.5 points and 1.8 rebounds in 10 minutes over 33 games. Also freshmen 6’6” 215 Adeleke Solanke; 6’0” Indiana guard Logan Irwin; 6’7” 205 Brian Pegg, and 6’2” Tanner Plemmons. They lose Tyshawn Patterson, Amara Thompson, Jermol Paul and Diego Morales.
