Jovan Mooring, 6'2" guard another Chicago product. Averaged 26ppg last year at South Suburban College & made 99 3 pointers! He will be coming in as a Junior and can play immediately.

You are missing Austin Starr and possibly Jaylen Ballou who would be a freshman 6'0" guard. He verbally committed but nothing is signed yet, may be a walk on. We have 2 schlarships left. As for Cornish, I asked Coach Menzies @ BAR HENDERSON about him, and he said that Jordan has "chosen a different path" and that he still sees him every day and will help him any way he can but he won't be a Rebel.So, who do we have? What am I missing?
Bigs:
Cheikna Dembele, 6-11 Freshman
Djordjije Slijivancanin, 6-10 Freshman
Forwards:
Ben Coupet, 6 -7 Freshman
Kris Clyburn, 6-6 Junior
Tyrell Green, 6-7 Senior
Dwayne Morgan, 6-8, Junior
Guards:
Uche Ofoegbu, 6-4 Senior
Zion Morgan, 6-4 Freshman
Jaylen Poyser, 6-4, Sophomore
Jovan Mooring, 6-2 Junior
Jordan Johnson, 5-9 (Junior nest year, must sit out 2016-17)
Is Cornish official one way or another?

he had 13 points in the allstar game here.So he was the national JUCO D-II player of the year last year. I hope he can transition to NCAA DI. Looks to be a good get. He was here playing in an all star game April 30th. Did anybody see him play?
Anybody who is the JUCO POY, should be playing D1. Do we think he should have the same numbers? No, but he will be good, and he can compete.
For clarification, it was D2 JC, not D1 JC.Anybody who is the JUCO POY, should be playing D1. Do we think he should have the same numbers? No, but he will be good, and he can compete. I feel that whoever wins the NIT tournament probably should have been invited to the NCAA. Probably the same case here. Winning the NIT does not translate into winning the NCAA, but it does translate that you can put a decent product on the floor and probably get a win or two. I think that this was a good pick up, considering the timing, nothing but props for the coaches.
Man, I didn't even know there was a Juco D2.For clarification, it was D2 JC, not D1 JC.
It'd be interesting to see listings of D2 JC POY's/first teamers and where they ended up/how they did. I did a quick search and could find them but I suspect it's out there somewhere.
Easy mistake. Most don't know there's a D2 JC. I'm sure there are certain situations that put decent players there. Let's hope we got one of the very few.I apologize. I hope he does well. Wow, I feel like I might have been over sold. What great journalism these guys write, I just read JUCO...ouch. Again, I hope he does well, but I imagine that a 6'5" is probably playing center there.
With the non-con schedule out now, looking at it and considering the MWC, I'd guess a pretty appropriate over/under might be 15.5 wins in the regular season? Somewhere around 500?LOL. Holy crap. I hope this kid is good. Because we are using a lot of scholarships. No reason to gamble with the future. On the same note, at least we have a team this next year. Because when Beard left, there wasn't anything left in the cupboard. So, on a positive we will have a team and the game will be tied at least once every night.
I wonder what the odds are on us winning games this year. I might just go look that up.
