Vision gave an earlier listing for the Bears, and nothing has really changed. We sit at 14 scholarship players, so will still need to do something there with one; and we have 2 pwo , so a total of 16 players . I've never witnessed as big a roster remake in 1 year as we are seeing with the Bears . I have to say I like this roster better than any I can remember for the Bears top to bottom, but at the same time , it has so many new players/moving parts it's hard to decipher how it all shakes out pt wise for some guys. A very interesting year to come is probably an understatement.
Center/Forwards:
Dawson Carper, 7'0, Grad. Finally healthy end of last yr. Hawaii transfer who has shot over 60% fg career.
Donovan Clay , 6'8, Sr. All MVC Defensive team, averaged 8 ppg, 6 rbs in 1st yr as a Bear.
NJ Benson, 6'8 , Fr. Big ,strong , offered by most MVC teams in Illinois as well as Murray St and SLU
Dalen Ridgnal, 6'7, Transfer from Georgia, 2 time Juco AA prior to that. KC kid
Jonathan Dunn, 6'7, Fr, We are United Prep , Offers from Texas Tech, MU. Big time motor and athleticism.
Jonathan Mogbo, 6'9, Jr, NE Okla. A&M. #22 Juco . My sleeper pick; has Alize Johnson build, characteristics.
Wings :
Raphe Ayres , 6'5 , So, longest tenure on team [3 yrs] but only 10 games.Shooter, #1 in Vermont as HS Sr
Chance Moore, 6'5, So Transfer from Arkansas, 4 **** and # 84 in 2021 class per ESPN
James Graham III, 6'8 So, Transfer from Maryland, 4**** and # 78 class of 2020 per 247 Sports

Bryan Trimble , 6'2 Grad, Transfer from Akron, averaged 10.4 ppg . Started career at St Johns. Shooter. KC kid
Damien Mayo ,6'3 , Fr, Link Prep, started HS at Chaminade 3*** Great intangibles / strong base /leader type.
PWO:
Tommy Pinnegar , 6'1, family big time donors, but is Springfield HS all time leader in 3 pt made.More a NAIA
Kannon Gibson 6'4, Fr, Link Prep HS and prep teammate of Dunn. Legit d-2 offers .
MSU lists all players by their year in college, not by years of eligibility left, so some have more eligibility than it looks.
The Bear is the largest carnivore on the North American continent; beware the Bear!
that takes a load off
