Returning starters:
Wes Morgan#20 Wes Morgan 2017- Committed to North Florida. 6’7 wing that shoots the 3. He is ranked in the top 30 by PrepHoopsNC for 2017. We interviewed Wes Morgan earlier in the year and this is what he had to say about picking North Florida, “Making the early call for North Florida was honestly a no brainer to me. UNF is statistically the number 1 three point shooting school in he entire nation.. They averaged over 12 made threes a game last year and attempted 29.5 threes a game on average. Shooting threes is what I do at such a high level. Another reason as to why I chose North Florida was how honest and true Coach Driscoll and the coaching staff is. They are a big time Christian staff, they’re not like most college coaches. I loved that Coach Driscoll would ask me about other things besides basketball and we would have life talks. He sends me Bible verses as well for me to read and it really helps me and the team with our lives. I also know the two other commits that committed early before me they’re great guys and we talk almost everyday.”

Ardrey Kell has lots of experience returning this season on a team that peaked at the end of last year. Went to round of 32 last year. Six of these players were on the bench for the 2015 state championship game, so they know what it takes to play at a high level.
