PROGRAM DIRECTION: This might be headed downward, given that Stetson was expecting to challenge for the league title last year and didn't deliver with an experienced lineup. Smith should be one of the league's top guards but there doesn't appear to be enough proven punch around him. If things really go wrong, this could be a 20-loss team.

PROBABLE STARTING LINEUP: PG A.J. Smith, SG Mark Lohuis, SF Sheldon Oliver, PF Olivier Dupiton, C Graeme Radford.

ROSTER REPORT:

--G J.R. Weston is a "legacy" player, as he's the son of a former Hatter (Randy Weston), the nephew of school Hall of Famer Brad Weston and the cousin of Gabe McMillin, who played at the school from 2003-06.

--F Ridge Graham redshirted last year and has four years of eligibility remaining. Graham led his high school team to 25 wins and a spot in its regional championship game two years ago.

--C Graeme Radford has beefed up since arriving at Stetson, adding 18 pounds and getting stronger in an effort to become a good Division I player. Radford should get a starting shot this year with the frontcourt decimated by graduation.
