THE GOOD NEWS
Sophomore Brandon Moore appears to be an emerging star. Moore averaged 11.3 points and 7.6 rebounds on 53.1 percent shooting in the last eight games of the 2007-08 season. Transfers Benny Valentine (Texas Tech), Andy Genao (Prairie View A&M) and Jeff Christensen (Lewis and Clark College) could all contribute next season.

THE BAD NEWS
None of the three transfers is considered a prolific rebounder and the best of the lot, Valentine, is a 5-foot-7 point guard.

KEY RETURNEES
Brandon Moore, a 6-9, 245-pounder, will have to be the man in the middle. Adris DeLeon showed great potential at times on the perimeter, but will have to become more consistent.
