Joe Lindsey: (SO) 5-foot-10 (165) from Spring Valley, NY.
"Joe is a great leader and nobody plays harder. It is tough to knock a kid who has won 54 games in two seasons and does everything for you," said Schoener.
Joe is averaging 13.6 ppg and 7.7 assists while shooting 81.6% (165-202) from the foul line. Lindsey has scored 636 points in 57 career games at Monroe while dishing out 449 assists. Joe prepped at Laurinburg Institute a few years back for coach Kenneth Gordon.
Vince Mosley: (SO) 6-foot-6 (220) from North Lauderdale, FL. Mosley has been around the block with stops at Seminole CC (FL) 2003-04 / Roane State (TN)-redshirted 2004-05 and DNP last year at Monroe CC with a ACL injury. Vince is trying to get the 6th year back of school. He is currently in his 4th year of school.
"Vince has been our rock. He is our emotional leader from day one and he brings it everyday. Vince really fills up the stat sheet for us," said Schoener.
Niagara, Marshall, and Stony Brook are keeping tabs on Mosley this spring.
Oliver Prince: (SO) 6-foot-6 (250) from Toronto, Ontario. Prince attended last year at LeMoyne-Owen (TN) in the fall 2005. Oliver played in six games and averaged 4.3 ppg and 3.2 rebounds. Oliver signed with Pepperdine coming out of Toronto Academy
Prep School (TAPS) back in the spring of 2005. He never played there though.
"Oliver has continued to improve throughout the season. He really is a beast on the block and continues to play with more confidence," said Schoener.
Oliver is averaging 10.9 ppg this season for the Tribunes. St Francis (PA) and St Francis (NY) have both offered Prince this spring. He is shooting 60.9% (124-205) from the floor this season.
