Key Reserves

Ibi Watson

The Michigan transfer Ibi Watson is a guy Flyers fans are looking forward to seeing this year. Watson is someone who will have an immediate impact for the Flyers, it’s likely that he’ll start the season coming off the bench but I expect Watson will start his fair share of games this season. Watson has apparently made quite the impression with Anthony Grant and had a really good summer.

Rodney Chatman

The Chatanooga transfer Rodney Chatman is a big addition for the Flyers and brings more depth to a solid backcourt and may even find himself starting some games this year. Chatman has the ability to get to the basket and finish as well as knock down the three-ball.

Chase Johnson

Chase Johnson who joined Flyers from Florida and is eligible to play this year.  Johnson brings some height to the Flyers and the ability to stretch the floor. He should see a good amount of minutes this season but they’re likely to come off of the bench.

Jhery Matos

Only appearing in six games last season Matos should see a bigger role for the Flyers. Matos likes to shoot the three-ball and is a taller option at the guard spot if they should need one.

Dwayne Cohill

Cohill saw minutes in every game last season as a freshman but didn’t have the biggest impact. He’ll improve and be another solid option for a guard spot off the bench. Cohill has the potential to be a big impact player for the future and is someone Grant should feel comfortable in calling upon when in crunch time.
