The Mercer Bears are undergoing a massive roster overhaul in Year 2 under Coach Ryan Ridder! We look at a team poised to defy expectations with new talent from the transfer portal.
In This Episode:
- The Overhaul: Mercer replaces 72 PPG, losing 7 of 8 top scorers. We analyze why last year's fast tempo combined with poor defense made a brutal finish.
- X-Factors: Baraka Okojie (Memphis/George Mason transfer) is the high-potential guard who could be a major defensive disruptor and playmaker.
- New Foundation: Sophomore Captain Brady Shoulders provides the core, supported by transfers like 6'10" big man Armani Mighty (Size/Rim Protection) and veteran Zaire Williams.
- Prediction: We set the floor at 9th and the ceiling at 5th or 6th place in the Southern Conference, potentially making Mercer a major SoCon Tournament spoiler in Asheville!
Can Ryan Ridder and the Bears defy expectations?
