2015 Outlook

To say Ursinus is young is a gross understatement as just one junior and three sophomores are back in the fold along with six newcomers. Draper, the 2012 Centennial Rookie of the Year, will be the leader of the baby Bears, after averaging in double figures in each of his first two seasons. Knowles and Leonard will contend for playing time, as will Mekongo in the frontcourt. The freshman class, including Rafferty and Wieczenski, will be asked to contribute right away. The building process is just starting in Collegeville.
