Coach: Kerry Rupp (second year)
Last season: 6-24 overall, 3-13 WAC
Returning starters: Two (SG Kyle Gibson, SF Adrian Rogers)
Player to watch: Magnum Rolle, jr.: Rolle is one of two BCS-school transfers eligible to play for Tech this season (Kenneth Cooper from Oklahoma State is the other). The 6-11, 220-pound Rolle was on LSU’s 2006 Final Four team, but saw limited playing time behind Glenn Davis and Tyrus Thomas. Rolle, a native of the Bahamas and a top-50 prospect out of high school, averaged 4.0 ppg and 4.1 rpg in 16.7 mpg for LSU as a sophomore. The Bulldogs have a deep back court, but Rolle’s effectiveness up front will go a long way in determining the team’s success... Go here for the complete article.
