What to Know

It seems that Kobe Paysour is officially a starter. With Nate McCollum not playing last Saturday, Paysour got his chance and made the most of it. Tez Walker will hear back on Thursday from the NCAA. Alijah Huzzie has been moved to the Star position with the news that DeAndre Boykins is out for the year. This forces redshirt freshman Tayon Holloway to start and be ready. Although this puts him straight into the fire, he will get better from early experience. It does seem that Ed Montilus and Nate McCollum are a go for the game against App State after being listed day-to-day.
