Nate Brumfield (SO) is 6-foot-4 (235) from Rochester, NY. Brumfield is a 3/4 man who is very physically strong.
"Nate is going to be our guy, he finishes around the rim and his great on getting to the foul line," said Miles.
Brumfield averaged 12.4 points and 6.3 rebounds and shot 59% from the floor last season.
He is a power player that likes to stalk the baselines.
Kansas State, St John's, Weber State, Utah State, Morehead State and St. Bonaventure are interested.
Bobby Davis (SO) is 6-foot-6 (225) from Aiken, SC.
"Bobby is our most consistent player," Miles commented. "He averaged 6.1 points per game and 6.3 rebounds last year. Bobby is very basketball smart, he is our glue guy."

Brandon Cameron (SO) is 6-foot-5 (190) from Buhler, KS.
"Brandon is a 3 man that shoots the heck out of it,"Miles said. "His father is a high school coach and he just makes shots."
Tennessee Tech, Morehead State and Tennessee-Martin are calling on Cameron.
The Blue Dragons will have 3 freshman that will see the floor a lot this season in Ricky Boyles 6'7 (225), Ken Bowman 6'9 (240) and Lamar Falley 6'4 (180).
