THE GOOD NEWS
There are some players that will be able to help the Aggies next year, especially on the front line. A&T could have one of the best interior combos in Ed Jones and Thomas Coleman. The hope is that the influx of big men into the rotation will help the Aggies improve their defense.

THE BAD NEWS
Who's going to be handling the ball in 2008-09? Guard play will be at a premium with so many seniors departing from the backcourt. Changing the focus of the team is going to take a little time for the team to get used to, as the Aggies start trying to get the ball inside more.

KEY RETURNEES
There's a lot of buzz around the A&T program for sophomore-to-be Thomas Coleman, who finished as the second-best shot-blocker in the league this year as a freshman. Swingman Ed Jones will have a lot more responsibility put upon him as the leading returning scorer.

ROSTER REPORT

--G Steven Rush ranked eighth in the league in scoring this year with his 14.3-ppg average.

--F Jason Wills averaged 6.6 rebounds per game this year, ranking him fourth among all MEAC players.

--Despite playing only 21 minutes a game, Thomas Coleman ranked second in the league in blocked shots, averaging 1.84 per contest.
