Avery Smith G 6-3 175 Jr.
Zach Holt G 5-6 160 Fr.
Allan Hanson G 6-0 170 Jr.

Paige Paulsen F 6-7 220 Jr.
Nick Hansen G 6-5 200 Sr.
Michael Bendall F 6-7 210 Jr.
Tyrone Young G 6-4 200 Sr.
Sam Mauldin F/C 6-9 Jr.
Ricky Franklin G 6-1 200 Fr
Roman Gentry G/F 6-5 Fr.
Marcus Skinner F 6-6 Jr.
Jason Deutchman F/G 6-6 Fr.
Jason Averkamp C/F 6-8 Fr.
Ryan Thorton F 6-7 Fr.
Charles Swiggett G 6-1 Fr.

That is a lot of players. How many can they keep? I suppose a couple may be redshirted?

Who have I missed? Can anyone fill in the gaps. like weight, positions, etc.

[uwmfutbol]

18 players is a LOT. You would expect at least 3 or 4 players to redshirt.

With all these new guys, I can't believe that players like myles mckay and michael bendall stand any chance of pt. Even Nick Hansen will struggle if Thornton is as good as advertised.

[pantherdon]

Is there an NCAA roster limit?
Is there a limit on redshirts?

[uwmbacker24]

I thought 15 was the limit

[uwmfan]

Maybe RJ will start up a JV team again. (actually happened back in '83....didn't last long tho)

if 15 was the limit, we would've been in trouble last year as we had 16 eligible players. McKay and Holt need to leave. did Hoelzel leave? the last i heard was he was still wavering on his options but that was 2 months ago.

[raar]

Yeah, that Holt guy is a hobbit. At that size he'd have to have amazing skills to play DI ball. I haven't heard anything about him, so.....

[dylanrocks]

From the looks of things the last few years, it appears that a team can have 18 active players, as long as at least five of them are walk-ons. As far as I can tell, the current walk-ons would be Averkamp, Bendall, Holt, McKay and Hansen. Not sure of Deutchman's status.

[famouspnthrfan]

Hoelzel is transferring for sure

The roster has been updated on the UWM Panther's website. uwmpanthers.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/wiml-m-baskbl-mtt.html
Sad to see those 7 seniors names gone from the list. So far only those that have LOI are listed. When are the others added?

[famouspnthrfan]

So far we are missing Mauldin, Deutchman, and Averkamp right?

[famouspnthrfan]

I am very excited to see Gentry in action...he sounds like he's gonna be a handful for the rest of the horizon league...

• Rob Jeter on Roman Gentry

"There is no question Roman is a very talented player who can have a tremendous career in Milwaukee. He performed at a high level throughout high school and developed into one of the best players in the state of Iowa. He has a great shooting touch, yet can drive to the basket and play well on the interior. He is also strong and has shown a great ability to rebound the basketball. We are thrilled that Roman has chosen to continue his basketball career in Milwaukee."

[Pantherholic]

I was elated to find out Roman was coming here. I had first heard about him and January and had always hoped we could somehow get him. His commitment here was a BIG deal to Iowa bball fans back home.

[dylanrocks]

Having seen Roman (on tape), I can tell you that he's an extremely promising prospect. The columnist at the Sioux City newspaper was quite unhappy that Roman (and Rob) didn't end up at Iowa State.

[PantherU]

It's cool, because when Jeter was brought in, it seemed like he and Matt Dougherty were the choices. Jeter got in recruiting-wise because he is a great recruiter in Wisconsin and Illinois...funny, because Dougherty had better national recruiting talents in some eyes(not mine.) Now, Jeter gets a huge out-of-state recruit. Big step for RJ.
