NEW CORE, NEW SIGHTS: Coastal Georgia men's basketball team looks to improve off down season
Oct. 30—College sport sees change every year, but for Coastal Georgia men's basketball coach Jesse Watkins, he will see nine new faces don the Mariners jerseys in hopes of moving the team back towards the top of NAIA basketball.
"A lot of our new guys are coming along really quickly, they are doing everything that we ask of them," Watkins said. "That's a really good thing about our team right now. Guys are trying to get some type of continuity with each other. I'm very happy with my freshmen. I have a couple of freshmen that are going to be pretty good in the future, and we have one or two transfer kids that are going to be effective this year."
