Maurice Grayer 6’2″ Willard: A very athletic two-way guard who excels at both ends of the court. He is a physically strong guard who can get in the lane and score on twisting drives to the basket.

Byron Alexander 6’3″ Staley: An explosive wing player who plays with high energy, Alexander can bring the crowd to its feet with a swooping dunk in transition or off the alley-oop pass. He attacks the basket to get buckets at the rim and he can also stop and pop from the mid-range area. He can also knock down open 3-pointers.
Quenton Shelton 6’2″ Lebanon: The high-scoring guard has been a standout for the Yellowjackets since his freshman year.
