  • Pilots Men's Basketball Excited About 2009 - 2010 Recruiting Class
    Pilots Men's Basketball excited about 2009 - 2010 recruiting class SEPTEMBER 09, 2009 LSUS Men’s Basketball completed their 2008 – 2009 season with their 5th consecutive trip to the NAIA National Tournament and won their 4th consecutive GCAC Tournament Championship. The Pilots have won 20 plus games each of their seasons since reinstating the program in 2003 and have set the standard extremely high for future Pilots. To maintain the status of “Louisiana’s most winning college basketball program over the past 6 years,” the Pilots will have to fill the void of losing 5 players off last year’s team. LSUS Pilots leading scorers Chris Gatlin (16.5) and teammate Tyrone Hamilton (15.9) recently signed professional contracts to play basketball in Germany. Replacing over 80% of their offensive scoring was one challenge for Head Coach Chad McDowell this off-season that didn’t seem to bother him much. “We return a 3 year starter in point guard Jared Stevenson, GCAC Freshman of the Year Derrick Parker, Brandon Mims, and several other key members from last year’s team,” commented McDowell. “Scoring was the least of our concerns in recruiting this year. We feel scoring will take care of itself. Now that doesn’t mean we didn’t sign some guys that can really put the ball in the basket in bunches. It just simply means we were looking for some things in this year’s recruiting class other than scoring. With all that being said, we couldn’t be more excited about a group of young men than we are about this year’s recruiting class.
