MEN'S BASKETBALL: Ferris Newbies Strengthen Perimeter Play For Bulldogs

At the close of the 2009-10, Ferris State University men's basketball head coach Bill Sall knew he had to hit the recruiting trail pretty hard to fill spots vacated by the graduations of Josh Young, Jon Yeazel and Austin Randel.

The Bulldogs have some talented freshmen players coming into the program in Flint's Demarco Sanders and Saginaw's Tyler Dwyer. But, Ferris knew it needed some experience to go along with the talented freshmen joining the program. With that in mind, Sall's staff secured commitments from a pair of transfer student-athletes - both of whom are Michigan natives in Augustana College's Kenny Brown and Clarion University's Brandyn Mungo.

These additions were very necessary for the Bulldogs and Sall is excited about what he feels the 6-foot-2 Brown, a native of Farmington who prepped at the area's Harrison High School, and the 6-foot-5 Mungo, from Westland and Detroit Renaissance High School (where he was a prep teammate of current Bulldog forward Daniel Sutherlin) can bring to the table for his program.

"We're excited about adding both of these guys," Sall said. "They'll help provide us with nice depth at the guard position, especially after graduating three seniors at that spot this past year."

You have to think Sall is looking for more than depth as far as what these guys can provide. These guys surely will be coming in looking to compete for spots and to compete for playing time and starting positions.

The summer workouts, preseason scrimmages and early practices should be highly competitive once all these guys get together.
