Recruiting has always been a strength for Ben Howland and this offseason was no exception. Nick Weatherspoon is the big name in this year’s freshman class. The four-star guard is the brother of Quinndary Weatherspoon, who led the Bulldogs in scoring last season. The two brothers should have no trouble establishing chemistry on the court.
The older Weatherspoon brother, Quinndary, is set to be the leader on this season’s squad. As a sophomore, Weatherspoon scored 16.5 points per game on 46% shooting from the field, including a 37% mark from three. Weatherspoon earned second team All-SEC honors as the seventh leading scorer in the conference.
There will be much more consistency and familiarity this season for Coach Ben Howland’s squad. Even the top incoming player, Nick Weatherspoon, will be playing alongside his brother and All-SEC guard Quinndary Weatherspoon.
Projected Starting Five:
Lamar Peters, Sophomore, Guard, 10.7 points per game
Nick Weatherspoon, Freshman, Guard, DNP last season
Quinndary Weatherspoon, Junior, Guard, 16.5 points per game
Xavian Stapleton, Junior, Forward, 7.0 points per game
Aric Holman, Junior, Center, 8.5 points per game
