Thompson and Coleby ready to lead with experience

Lost in the madness of the multiple arrivals and departures of Mitchell Robinson, as well as other roster moves in WKU basketball team's wild offseason, was the addition of two graduate transfers who have played for some of the top programs in college basketball: Darius Thompson and Dwight Coleby.

The two transfers make up half of WKU basketball's senior class, as they join forward Justin Johnson, WKU's only returning starter, and walk-on guard Tyler Miller. Together, Thompson and Coleby have played in five NCAA tournaments.

After having moved around among some of the NCAA's more premiere programs, the two are at WKU to be leaders on a young team that features eight newcomers.
