How deep will the Lancers be this season?

Coach Croy returns just two starters from last season, but they are two of the best, Acquaah who is a candidate for WAC Player of the Year and Davis who nearly averaged a double-double as a junior. Based on the team’s five games in Australia, the other three spots could go to the grad transfer Boyd, senior forward Bul Kuol, another native of Australia who appeared in just 10 games last season, but was a starter for the Lancers while Down Under and fellow senior, the 6’9 forward Omar Lo who is eager to make his debut for Cal Baptist after sitting out last year.

The frontcourt reserves will likely consist of Glenn Morison, another a native of Australia is a 6’10 center and Zach Pirog, a 6’11 senior, the duo averaged just under 13 minutes per game last season and the freshman Forsyth. The backcourt will have plenty of options for bench minutes, Armstrong, junior Ty Rowell, who averaged 7.7 points per game last year, and a couple of returning seniors, Micah Robinson who played in just nine games last season and Ferron Flavors, Jr., a 6’5 guard from Washington are likely to see a majority of the reserve minutes.
