Wagner coach Bashir Mason picked up two key players on Sunday who could end up starting for the Seahawks.
Brandon Rosser, a 6-foot-8, 215-pound forward from Central Arizona College, and Michael Carey (pictured), a 6-5 guard from San Jacinto (TX) College, both committed to Wagner.
Rosser, who averaged 17.2 points and 6.2 rebounds in 30 games last season, also considered North Carolina Central and Toledo.
“[I like] Coach Bash’s vision and I’m trying to help them get to the NCAAs,” Rosser told SNY.tv.
Asked what skill set he brings, Rosser said, “I’m a big but I like the ball in my hands and getting other people involved.”
Carey is a do-it-all type guard who initially committed to Texas Tech before being deemed a non-qualifier. He considered Hofstra and Abilene Christian this time around.
“It just felt as if I was home and I felt a sense of trust with the coaching staff,” he said.
Carey averaged 10.9 points and 5.8 rebounds in 31 games last season.
“I just look at myself as a do-it-all guard who will get after it and just wants to win,” he told SNY.tv.
