a freshman.
"Bobby is a very versatile strong combo forward. He can guard every position on the floor and really knows how to play the game," said McCullum.
Hill took classes this past summer at Lincoln to get ahead academically.
Darnell Lindsay: (SO) 6-foot-4 (180) from Indianapolis, IN. Lindsey played this past summer at Jerry Mullens 120 JUCO Camp in Tulsa, OK.
"The small forward is really explosive and is good at getting to the basket," said McCullum. "Darnell must improve his perimeter shot and has a great upside"
Darnell is receiving interest from Evansville, Southeast Missouri State and Western Illinois. The all-conference performer from last season also took home Freshman of the Year honors. Lindsay averaged 13.8 ppg and 4.9 rebounds last year for the Lynx.
Bryce Davis: (SO) 6-foot-7 (225) from El Segundo, CA. Davis redshirted last year at California State-Dominiquez Hills. Davis can leave after one season with the Lynx and have three years left to play.
"Bryce is a skilled four man that can face up and shoot the ball," said McCullum.
Gerren Rogers: (SO) 6-foot-8 (240) from Metropolis, IL. Rogers, a 4/5 man, needs just 11 credits to graduate. Gerren started his college career at Moberly Area Community College in Missouri while Pat Smith was the head coach. Rogers took classes last year Lincoln College but didn't play basketball.
"Gerren is an extremely athletic kid that can really run the floor quite well," said McCullum.
He will need to go the D2/NAIA route because of clock issues.
JucoJunction will see Lincoln College next month at the Illinois Valley Community College jamboree on Monday October 8. 2007.
