Might lead you to believe their coach is coming with as well. Maybe not and he simply made the recommendations, but have a feeling.

That is what i wondered, we now have 3 players from Highland. So either their head coach is going to be on staff, or he is just helping Jeter out since he is getting a late start.

Also important to remember there coach was on Jeter staff for almost his whole time at Milwaukee.

Seen where Elijah said he has reaffirmed his commitment to WIU with the new coaching staff.

So as it stands now, they have 5 new players coming in next year. (2 high school, 3 JUCO)

Did Arrington have ligament damage from that late-season injury?
