The Roadrunners welcome back 11 letterwinners from last year's squad including junior Christian Wilson, who averaged 16.8 points per game during the campaign and a team-high 18.8 in Conference USA action. In all, the squad returns four of its top five scorers, which includes Wilson, senior J.R. Harris, junior Gino Littles and senior Lucas O'Brien.
Henson also welcomes a total of six newcomers to the fold this season. Junior Jeff Beverly will be available after redshirting the 2015-16 campaign, while sophomore Bola Alade and freshmen Giovanni De Nicolao, Byron Frohnen, Mitar Stanojevic and George Willborn III are in their first season with the program.
