THE GOOD NEWS
Everyone should be back for the Bulldogs with a year of seasoning under their belts. Instead of coming in as wide-eyed freshmen, the majority of the team will be back as sophomores looking to get a little payback for the lumps they took in their first year of collegiate basketball.

THE BAD NEWS
The Bulldogs did only win six games with this group. Assuming Demetrius Nelson can come back, the Citadel will still only have two seniors on the entire roster. The lack of rebounding is going to hurt this team until it gets more bulk and size on the interior.

KEY RETURNEES
If Demetrius Nelson gets another season due to a redshirt, he'll be able to draw some attention on the interior. That would open things up more for returning shooters Cameron Wells, Austin Dahn and Zach Urbanus.

ROSTER REPORT

--G Austin Dahn was a first-team selection to the Southern Conference All-Freshman team.

--G Cameron Wells had the highest assist average for a freshman in the Southern Conference, dishing out 3.83 per game.

--G Zach Urbanus led the Southern Conference in minutes played per game, logging 35.3 per game, just ahead of teammate Cameron Wells, who placed second with 35.0 mpg.
