THE GOOD NEWS
C Kenny George returns, and the 7-foot-7 center is a matchup nightmare for any opponent. F Reid Augst showed flashes of being a major offensive threat as the season progressed.

THE BAD NEWS
The entire backcourt graduates, leaving G Donovan Jones, who is returning from a knee injury, to run the point. K.J. Garland and Bryan Smithson were arguably the Big South's best backcourt duo, so their losses will be felt.

KEY RETURNEES

ROSTER REPORT

--C Kenny George finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation in field-goal percentage (69.0). He was seventh in blocked shots per game (3.4).

--G Donovan Jones was expected to be a key backcourt contributor for the Bulldogs this season, but he was lost in preseason practice to a knee injury. Rehab is going well, and Jones, who averaged 4.8 points and had 54 assists as a freshman, will be ready to go next year. He received a medical redshirt for the missed season.
