https://mssulions.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/colin-ruffin/10112

Stats: More of a shooting guard. 6-4 so good size. 48% FGs, 33% 3 3pt, 72% FTs. 11.4 ppg, 5.1 rebounds a game is good, around 2.8 assists per game, 2:1 assist to TO ratio.

Has 2 yrs remaining according to an X post of his.

Another X post has some interesting information makes him sound more like a PG
Link Academy PG Graduate
@Colinruffin1
is now in the transfer portal! 6’4 PG that has played 2 years of D1, and played this year at MSSU and averaged 11.4ppg, 2.8apg, 5.1rpg, and 1.8 steals. He is an elite passer, plays off 2 feet, and an elite on ball defender. He also shot from 33% from 3 this year. 4 years removed from HS. Old, mature, and a leader!

I assume this is our starting PG. Bahr would likely back him up.

That's 11 slots filled. Assume 2 more and maybe a walk on. We are ok at PG now, not solid enough though maybe some other guard signees are decent ballhandlers. We need one more big, the more physical the better, I'd prefer a physical, aggressive, strong 6-6 guy to another 6-10 flagpole. A major need on this team will be rebounding.
