Key Returning Players:
Hunter McShane – Junior, 6′0″, Point Guard- 5.6 PPG, 2.1 APG, 1.4 SPG
Hunter will have to be one of the leaders on the team this year & set the tempo of our offense & defense. He is the best ball handler & shooter on our team. We need him to step up to be a go to player for us this season.
Jeremiah Singer – Junior, 6′2″, Small Forward- 3.2 PPG, 0.5 APG, 1.2 RPG
Jeremiah will have to be more consistent for us in all aspects of the game this season compared to last season. He is a vocal leader who will have to play on both ends of the floor for us in order for us to be successful.
Key Newcomers:
Michael Bucher – Junior, 6’5” – C
Kamal Crockett – Sophomore, 5’10” – G
Jason Cruciani – Sophomore, 6’1” – F

2023-24 Outlook: If we can stay healthy & improve every day, we will have a good team with a lot of new players.
We lost our best player this season due to a torn ACL from football & our 6th man due to elbow surgery, but the players are eager to get better and hoping to keep the winning tradition alive at Bangor.
We will need to control the tempo of the game with our defensive play and play consistently on the offensive end.
