Cornelius Vines: (SO) 6-foot-2 (185) from Syracuse, NY.

"Cornelius is a combo guard who can slash to the basket and breakdown defenders. I was really impressed with the way he played the game," said Bret Swanson.

"Mitch can play the 1-3 positions on the floor and is very strong. He has great, great strength to finish at the rim and draws a lot of contact while approaching the basket," said Swanson.

Bain redshirted last year at Iowa Lakes CC.
