THE GOOD NEWS
The Indians return all but two seniors and get a fresh start with a new coaching staff.

THE BAD NEWS
The Indians don't return an abundance of quality talent from a team that won only five Sun Belt games and face a steep rebuilding job.

KEY RETURNEES
G Ryan Wedel, Fs Shawn Morgan and Yima Chia-Kur.

ROSTER REPORT

--The Indians lost PF Abayomi Ajasin in the preseason and F Jeremy Thomas midway through the season because of season-ending injuries and three key players -- Adrian Banks (ankle), Ryan Wedel (knee) and Shawn Morgan (ankle) -- played most of the Sun Belt season with nagging injuries.

--Morgan was always a favorite of former coach Dickey Nutt's for his hustle and energy and will likely be a good place for the new coaching staff to start.

--Wedel, a third-team all-conference selection, finished seventh in conference play with 16 points per game.
