After all the offseason chatter and starting lineup projections, if Collin Gillespie, Jermaine Samuels and Justin Moore are the locks, one more piece is locked in — Brandon Slater.
The senior wing is getting the starting nod for Tuesday night in the Wildcats’ season opener against Mount St. Mary’s.
“It means the world, my coaches and teammates trust me,” Slater said. “They trust me and have seen me put in all the work. They expect more from me this season.”
Slater, the last remaining member of his recruiting class that once included Saddiq Bey, Cole Swider and Jahvon Quinerly, has stuck it out and is being rewarded for his hard work and improvement throughout his career.
