THE GOOD NEWS
They say any team needs guards to win and, while the Greyhounds have lost a ton of experience, they do return a backcourt of Brett Harvey, Brian Rudolph and Marquis Sullivan.

THE BAD NEWS
Three starters, three of the top five scorers on the team, are gone. Gerald Brown leaves as a star, but Michael Tuck and Omari Israel will be missed in a big way. There's building to do in the frontcourt.

KEY RETURNEES
G Brian Rudolph was the MAAC's co-Rookie of the Year and showed great leadership. Guard Marquis Sullivan was the league's top sixth man and may have to start in a three-guard set next year. G Brett Harvey has two years left and is already a two-year starter.
