The Red and White lost only one full-time starter in Nathan Peavy, and will have MAC First-Team forward Tim Pollitz returning. Pollitz emerged as one of the best players in the conference during his junior campaign and will be the go-to guy for the RedHawks from day one.
Don't be fooled, the men's hoops team won't be competing for a national title like their hockey counterparts, but Miami will have an exciting mix of youth and veteran leadership that will keep them in the hunt for a MAC title.
Pollitz, the only senior on the roster, will have help from emerging underclassmen. Alex Moosmann will likely be the starting point guard during his sophomore season after a promising freshman campaign leading the RedHawk offense. Junior forward Michael Bramos will be asked to step up even more after the departure of All-MAC Honorable Mention Peavy. Bramos has been an integral part of the 'Hawks' success during his first two seasons and will play an even larger role this year.
Miami will show their youth, dressing five players with freshman eligibility and four with sophomore standing.
The Red and White is already poised for a promising season in the MAC with this young squad, but also cast an even brighter future during the next few years with many underclassmen gaining valuable experience and playing time this season.
While we may wish for the weather at the other Miami all winter, these two teams might turn up the heat with some electric action from the RedHawks.
