The forward’s career high in playing time came as a sophomore at Mississippi, where he averaged 16.5 minutes per contest. He played 10 minutes per game as a freshman in 2013-14 with the Rebels, and 5.6 per game last year as a redshirt junior at Kansas.
Now it’s Coleby’s time to earn some time. Outside circumstances, including center Mitchell Robinson’s second and ultimately final departure last month from WKU, have left the Hilltoppers shorthanded in the frontcourt.
The graduate senior Coleby is one of just three true post players on Western Kentucky’s 2017-18 roster, alongside senior Justin Johnson and redshirt sophomore Moustapha Diagne.
