Kent State's men’s basketball is looking to continue building a strong team chemistry, as nine new players debut on the 2016-2017 roster.
Walk-on Jon Fleming, a senior communication studies major, is in his last year on the team playing as a guard.
“(It’s) the newest team since I’ve been here,” Fleming said. “It’s actually molded together pretty well, nothing forced.”
Head coach Rob Senderoff said college athletics, in particular, is a senior-driven sport. And with such a fresh lineup this year, the game can be a challenge.
“The ones that have been there for four years, those guys understand those traditions, what we’re trying to accomplish and the system,” Senderoff said.
