Following six high-profile graduations, the University of Saskatchewan Huskies men's basketball team is looking to jump up the Canada West standings with a younger roster.
WATCH: Seeing stars like Alexander Dewar, Chan De Ciman and Tyrese Potoma graduate the program, the University of Saskatchewan Huskies men's basketball team has become a lot younger ahead of the 2024-25 season.Two whole months after their pre-season opener and one month following the Ron & Jane Graham Shootout, the University ofare ranked eighth in the pre-season coaches poll after rebounding last year with a 11-9 record, a full six wins better than their final record in 2022-23.
“It’s tough to replace great people like that,” said Huskies head coach Jamie Campbell. “But we have got a lot of really good, young, talented kids in here. We got to live through some of the young mistakes that they’re making. They’re showing a lot of great promise for where they’re going to be not just this year, but where they go over the future.”At the guard position, the Huskies will be banking on the continued growth of Emmanuel Bonsu who is entering his second season with the program.
That experience and watching the Huskies fifth-years last season has helped the Quebec product prepare for the larger workload expected in 2024-25. Entering his second year of Canada West play, reigning conference rookie of the year Easton Thimm will be driving the Huskies offence from the forward position after averaging 9.4 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.Now, the stage will become even larger for the former Holy Cross High Crusader.
