This year’s team checks a lot of boxes when going down the list of attributes that you look for in really strong team.” How are the guys looking? “We shoot the ball really well, have multiple guys who can handle the ball, and have good length a crossed the board,” coach said. “I am excited to see how these guys gel as the season progresses. I like the energy and tempo that we play at. We have a lot of guys with really good motors. This should help us in a long grueling season. I like our depth as well. We don’t drop when we substitute guys in.” How has the preseason been? “We have been working really hard in preseason to get stronger and be in shape,” he continued. “That’s the first battle of the season is to get your body right so you can do the things you need to do to be successful.” What can the fans expect? “I think fans can expect big things for this group,” Phillips concluded. 4 2015-16 Bruin Roster # Name Year Ht Wt Pos Hometown/High School 0 Gibson Johnson So. 6-8 225 F Centerville, UT /Viewmont 1 Ebet Bushmen Fr. 6-2 185 W Kearns, UT / Kearns 2 Marcus White So. 6-6 200 F Milwaukee, WI /Milwaukee Vincent 3 Tyler Rawson So. 6-10 205 F American Fork /American Fork, UT 4 Tad Dufelmeier So. 6-0 168 G Canberra, Australia / Erindale 10 Austin Waddoups So. 6-2 160 PG American Fork /American Fork, UT 11 Conner Toolson Fr. 6-4 180 W Highland, UT / Lone Peak 12 Mckay Johnson Fr. 6-4 190 F Centerville, UT / Viewmont 15 Christian Musoko So. 6-8 240 C Ontario, CAN / Layton Christian 20 Scott Cook So. 7-0 235 C Highland H.S. / Gilbert, AZ 22 Tanner Newbold So. 6-1 W Payson, UT / Payson 30 Marsalis Johnson Fr. 6-7 200 F Sun Valley, CA / Village Christian Head Coach- Todd Phillips (5th Year) SID- Rachel Rowan Assistant Coach- Paul Marble (12th year) Athletic Director- Kevin Dustin Asst.
