Collins has already been offered by Bradley and Charlotte. Wyoming, St. Bonaventure and Rhode Island are also showing interest in Collins.
"David is tall and lean, but is much stronger than he looks (bench
presses 295)," Ostermann said.
Collins has used his redshirt year already. Collins is at 8.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.5
blocks per outing this season.
Ewan Linton: (SO) 6-foot-7 (210) from Jamaica.
"Ewan is a very good athlete with a good body. He can play physical and block shots defensively," said Ostermann.
The power forward is receiving interest from Tennessee-Martin, Texas Pan-American, Eastern Illinois and Arkansas State.
Linton is at 9.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 58% from the floor (81-139).
Johnnie McLawhorn: (SO) 6-foot-4 (183) from Greenville, NC.
"Johnnie is a really quick, athletic wing guard who can score," Ostermann commented.
McLawhorn is a high major talent. The scorer is receiving interest from Weber State. Jonnie is topping the Grizzlies with 16.5 points per game and 5.6 rebounds a night.
Charles Robinson: (SO) 6-foot-1 (165) from Greenville, SC. Robinson is a former Prince Avenue Prep (SC) player.
"Charles is a very good athlete that's wiry strong," Ostermann said.
The shooting guard will visit UT-San Antonio after the season, while Binghamton and
Southeast Missouri State have shown interest on Charles as well. Robinson is at 9.8 points per game.
Stephen Williams: (SO) 6-foot (175) from Rolla, MO.
"Williams is a tough left-handed guard that plays physical," Ostermann said. "Stephen has worked very hard and improved quite a bit since the summer."
St. Edward's (TX) and Lincoln University (MO) have shown interest in Williams. Stephen is getting 4.6 points per game this season.
"Our sophomore class is a solid group," Ostermann added. "The kids have good character and work hard. Each individual brings something different to the table and can fill a role in the future at various levels."
