Junior Donatas Zavackas, who stands at 6 feet 8 inches, is the only other player with experience under the glass. Zavackas, a gunner, is more of an offensive threat than a rebounding force, as he pulled in 3.4 rebounds a game last season. Both players were redshirted last season. Troutman was named one of the top 10 scholastic rebounders in the nation by The Sporting News, and McCarroll, who is extremely lanky, is touted as being very athletic. Howland still has time to try and fill the scholarships.
Any player can sign until the start of the school year.
