Freshmen  Players Sophomore Players

Buckley, Devon
6’4” – 170 - Raleigh-Egypt High School

Cosby, Christopher
6’0” – 150 - Southside High School

Quick aggressive, relentless and poised point guard. Really has improved in all areas of his game. Will play a lot this season and should be one key factor in the success of the Saluqis. Will graduate this spring.

Cosby, Howard
6’2” – 170 - Southside High School

the older brother of Chris Cosby. Finally decided to come to school. Great speed, quickness and jumping ability. Will be heard from this season!!

Evans, William
6’0” – 150 - Collierville High School

Has worked really hard this summer and developed into a good all-around player, although shooting is his real strength. William plays a lot as he gets good experience playing on last season’s national tournament team.

Johnson, Bruce
6’7” – 210 - Conway (AR) High School

Averaged 15 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks as a senior. Has post-up ability but he can also go outside and hit the medium range shot.

Moody, Wayne
6’4” - 175 - Overton High School

Long arms, fine defender and all-around good player./ Picked up valuable experience last season and worked awfully hard on the court and in the weight-room this summer. He will be a key player for us. Will graduate this spring and is a dean’s list student.

Johnson, Terence
6’10” – 220 - Hillcrest High School

Has been away from the game a year or so and was burdened with a broken leg. Have the tools to be a good player. Patience is the key for Terrence.

Ray, Marklus
6’9” – 230 - Hillcrest High School

A big strong young man with unlimited potential. Can block shots, rebound and has a soft shooting touch. Has only played two years of organization basketball so his future is really bright!!! If we are to go far, he has to play big.

McComb, Curtis
6’7” – 190 - Northside High School

Curtis is a worker. He rebounds, defends, runs and will do what it takes for this tem to win. He will contribute this season.

Walls, Marlon
5’10” – 170 - Melrose High School

As the starting point guard last season Marlon averaged 10 points and 5 assists. He should do better with those numbers and should be a more mature floor leader. Tremendous speed and quickness. Should be a defensive standout with his quickness and anticipation.

 

Plant, Jason
6’8.5” – 210 - McCellan High School

Averaged 15 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks on a state championship team. Fundamentally sound, just need to adjust to a new system.

Fine all-around player. Can score, rebound, run and defend. One of the city’s best high school players. Will be a factor in our success. Signed originally with University of Memphis.
