4 MEN S BASKETBALL SEASON OUTLOOK A new era at Redlands has begun; Coach Yaphett King joins the roster, which remains similar to last season. Entering their sophomore year Andrew Cunningham, Antoine Watson, Marvin Roberts, Hamilton Nash, Vincent Talbot and Norman Primous will be counted on for leadership, scoring and defense. Andrew Webb Cunningham is a lightning uic point guard who will ll up the assist column. Antoine Toine Watson who, with his ability to score and defend multiple positions, will be one of the most versatile guards in the country. Hamilton Ham Nash is a natural athlete capable of playing either forward spots, rebounding and knocking down open jump shots. He will leave it on the oor every game. Marvin Marv Roberts can at out score with the best of them and will also provide highlight dunks this season for Cougar fans. Vincent LA Talbot will provide help at the point and off guard spot and is a dead-eye shooter as well. Norman Norm Primous is a tall, athletic, defensive minded player who guards all ve positions and buries it from long range. He will be an energy and defensive spark plug to the team. Along with the sophomores, freshman Kevin Rolland will be counted on to knock down open shots and guard. Matt Mobley will contribute in the rotation with his athleticism and defense. Brandon Cain, whose hard work and great attitude is well respected amongst his peers, will garner time at all positions on the court. Zach Hunter, a tough player who doesn t back down, will be looked upon for his toughness. Rounding out the freshman class is Matt Washington who will provide much needed front court help for the Cougars. The men s basketball program under rst-year Head Basketball Coach Yaphett King will be looking to play an up-tempo, fast style of basketball that will highlight the strength s of this Redlands team scoring from the wings. Marvin Roberts and Antoine Watson head a big time scoring attack from the wings with their size and athleticism. Hamilton Nash will dominate the glass, knocking down jumpshots. Andrew Cunningham will dish out assists and Matt Washington s scoring down low should make the Cougars a lot of fun to watch. 4
