The Official Athletics Website updated the player roster. Kaylan, Kevin, Paige - welcome to Panther Basketball! Jeter has landed a great class for this season - Kaylan and Kevin will have immediate impacts as we attempt another League crown. Bringing in Paige is brilliant, as next year will certainly be a rebuilding season and we will need some upper-class leadership.
Best Jeter quote - "Panther style of basketball." Alabama and B.C. know what that means, now its time for Memphis to discover its definition. 4 of 5 starters return. Joah's eyes on the NBA. The addition of Kaylan and Kevin. It's going to be another great season!

Rob Jeter on Kaylan Anderson: "We are excited to have him. His athleticism, length and ability to play multiple positions fits the profile of the player we were looking for. He will add another high-level athlete who will allow us to play how we want to play."

Rob Jeter on Kevin Massiah: "He is a tremendous addition to our program. He is extremely athletic, versatile and exciting. He can score from the perimeter and with his back to the basket. He should fit in very well with the Panther style of basketball. We're very excited to have Kevin join us in Milwaukee. Along with his basketball abilities, he is a solid person off-the-court who embodies what we are looking for when we recruit student-athletes. He is a great addition to this campus and the community."
Paige Paulsen
Class: Junior
Hometown: Huron, SD
High School: Custer
Last College: Northern Illinois
Height / Weight: 6-7 / 220
Position: Forward
Before UWM: Played the past two seasons at Northern Illinois University ... averaged 7.5 points and 3.7 rebounds in 21 games this past season ... started seven games early in the season and then missed the final seven contests due to lingering effects of a concussion ... scored a career-high 19 points in an upset win over DePaul ... led the Huskies in scoring twice and in rebounding four times ... in his two years at NIU, Paulsen appeared in 48 games, starting nine, while shooting 40 percent from three-point range ... earned honors as South Dakota's best high school basketball player in 2003 while capping off a tremendous career at Custer High School ... member of the varsity team since he was in eighth grade ... averaged a double-double of 24.5 points per game and 11.0 rebounds per contest during his senior season ... named the South Dakota Gatorade Player of the Year and the Player of the Year by the South Dakota Basketball Coaches' Association ... three-time First-Team All-State selection ... led his team to the 2002 state title and then back to the state finals in 2003 ... in his last two seasons at Custer, the Wildcats compiled a 48-4 record, including 25-straight wins during his senior year ... for his career, Paulsen scored 1,790 points - a school record ... averaged double figures in points every season since his freshman campaign.
Rob Jeter on Paige Paulsen: "Paige is a great addition to our program. He comes to us as a proven Division I player and will add maturity and experience. He is also a key to the continuity of the program, because he'll step right in when we lose seven seniors after this season. At that point, he'll already have a year in Milwaukee under his belt and he'll be ready to make important contributions."
