Al Dawes looks forward to his last season in Pirate Blue

...........One newcomer that has stood out to Dawes has been junior center Elijah Hutchins-Everett. The Orange, N.J.-native transferred from Austin Peay who is known for more of a stretch game with a nice “touch on his shot” and being offensively sound, but has been putting in work down low this summer.
“He came in and lost 20 pounds trying to get in better shape and be a brutalizer down there on the block,” Dawes said, "I like him a lot".
Of the returning players, Dawes feels rising sophomore Sanders has improved and is ready to take that next step.
