Matt Croci is tagged as the interim head coach, but surely that's just a formality. I can't imagine a better candidate than the Tiger legend. Best of luck to Matt in his new role.

I see you were right (no surprise there) as the interim part of his title has been removed.

Less than a month until classes resume.  Any recruiting news in the NCAC?

Not recruiting news per se, but Johnny Jager is transferring to walk on and be a part of the program at IU.  Awesome opportunity for Johnny, big time bummer for Wabash.  This is the second summer in a row that Wabash has lost their top guard to higher divisions.  Kind of puts in a kink in the progress Coach Brum is making, but you can hardly blame a kid from Bloomington, IN for jumping at the chance to be a part of the Hoosiers.  He's literally living THE dream that kids out here have.  Wish Johnny the best of luck.  It was awesome watching him play last season.

Thanks Wally,  Sounds like the kid has a great head on his shoulders.  Best of luck to him.

Two different sources on the internet indicating that a new Wooster recruit will be Sherack Malokwu who is a 6'8" post player from Coral Springs Christian Academy in Florida.  Nice to see a legitimate post player as a new recruit given that the Scots lost both Josh Kipfer and Alex LaLonde to graduation.

Still believe that Danyon Hempy 6'5" is the star in Wooster's recruiting class.  Hempy was All Ohio First Team and averaged ~28 ppg as a high school senior. ;)

Wooster usually plays 7 non-conference games on their schedule.  Through internet sources, I have found 6 of the non-conference opponents for 2016-2017.

11/19  Defiance - Al Van Wie tourney
11/22  At Marietta
12/18  At Whitman (WA)
12/21  At Lewis & Clark (OR)
12/29  Washington University (MO) - Mose Hole tourney
12/30  Hobart (NY) - Mose Hole tourney

Oberlin will be the other game in the Al Van Wie tourney so there is probably one more non-conference road game on the 2016-2017 schedule.

Defiance, Marietta, Whitman and Washington University should all be tough opponents so this is a fairly challenging schedule.

The one additional non-conference game for Wooster will be St. John Fisher on 11/27 and it is actually a home game.

That's a strong Wooster schedule - I have pretty high expectations for them this year.

imderekpoe -- thanks for the Wooster pre-season roster.  :)

Besides Danyon Hempy and Sherack Malokwu, a couple of other freshman pop out as possibilities for some playing time:

Trenton Tipton 6'5" Belmont Union Local H.S.  All-Ohio Division III Second Team.  17 ppg as a senior and over 1,000 points in his H.S. career

Nico Sansotta, 6'5" Marion Pleasant H.S.  All-Ohio Division III Special Mention  17.6 ppg, 7.1 rebounds, 2.3 steals, first team Central District

Looks like another strong freshman class for the Scots.  Did all of the underclassmen letter winners from last year's team return?  If so, this should be a deep and talented team.

Wooster's top 4 scorers from last season all return.  All letter winners are returning with the exception of Jordan Stock who is not listed on the returning letter winners list linked here:  http://www.woosterathletics.com/sports/mbkb/2016-17/roster
