UPCOMING SEASON
Current Roster Makeup: This is going to be a very young team. There is a lot of help on the way as their 2018/2019 groups look solid but how much they can help this year is going to be tough to know. Returning Harrell and Barrett on the perimeter gives them a solid backcourt and having Bryce Brown with size is a bonus. Travis Roehling looks like he could factor in this year with a big offseason. This team lost a lot with Michael Benkert, Joey Lenkey, and Anderson McCoy graduating. Freshman Trayce Jackson-Davis looks legit and will give depth in the post. A few other freshman could also factor in down the road based on how the weeks leading up to the season go.
2015-16 Season Outlook: Like I said earlier, this is really a very young team but they still have a strong senior core group and at key positions. Their sectional had a little movement but essentially replaced New Palestine with Martinsville. Their regular season is always a tough schedule but it is a down year for a lot of Indianapolis area programs so depending on how quickly their young guys fill into their roles, they could steal some wins here and there. They went 13-10 in Coach Hahn's first year. Year two could be about the same.
