3 transfers from D1 schools, two grad students, one junior, ALL with some significant role player type experience in D1 programs,
notable 6'9" grad student Riley Battin from Utah
7'0" Ighoefe from Georgetown
& 6'2" LMU transfer who led the WCC in 3s Joe Quintana so a guy to watch out for
not a high-scoring team
so should present our new collection of bigs solid test of their first month of development.
gonna have to do some bodying up on these guys
Beach finished 162 ranked in Massey (we were lowly mid 200s before conference and the 'turnaround' - have to remember we looked a bit dead in the water before the Big West started last year.
Cal Baptist finished #236 in Massey, towards the bottom of the WAC, best win was Utah Valley ,they beat Cal Poly, lost to Riverside
should be along the lines of a mid-Big West type of team, however much the additions should up provide them with some WAC or Big West type quality depth
will be a good test of how well our bigs hold up in a D1 game and also see out of the gate how much defensive chemistry we have with our 3 wing studs leading the way, plus an away game in a quality mid-major gym, they averaged 3000 fans, so somewhat an embarrassment compared what to our 'mature' Beach program has been averaging recently
hostile environment, with a competent opponent, and we've got a few guys who will want to prove some things to the scouts, just so it's within the confines of a solid defensive effort.
