Billy Lange has finalized his incoming recruiting class. The Midshipmen will add five new faces to their defection-depleted roster, four of whom will be eligible to play this season.
The new Midshipmen include two centers, a 6-10 true freshman and a 6-9 kid who spent a stash year redshirting at Navy's prep school. Lange hopes both can contribute immediately for the post challenged Mids, who lost two of their big men, including all-rookie pick Tret Stanton, in the off season.
The Middies also are adding another Navy prep stashee, a 6-4 swingman, another 6-4 kid out of high school and point guard O.J. Avworo, an Idaho transfer who will not be eligible to play this season.
Another point guard, Steve Silverthorne of Woodson H.S. in Northern Virginia, has announced his plans to attend USNAPS this season with plans to play for the Mids next season.Labels: Navy, recruiting
