THE PRIDE LAST SEASON: 19-15 (10-8 in Colonial Athletic Association)

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Charles Jenkins
The CAA’s player of the year last season is the focal point of the offense. A possible first-round NBA draft prospect, Jenkins was one of five players in Division I to average at least 20 points, four rebounds and three assists per game last season. The 6-foot-3 shooting guard enters the season with 1,767 points, putting him on pace to break the school's all-time scoring record of 2,276 points set by former teammate Antoine Agudio.    

Greg Washington
Washington, a 6-foot-10 forward from Central Islip High School, is the team’s other returning full-time starter. Washington, who already owns the school record for blocked shots in a season and a career, averaged 2.8 blocks last season.

Also
David Imes, who was a reserve last year, junior college transfer Dwan McMillan and Fordham transfer Mike Moore.
