Benedictine University head men's basketball  coach Jordan Townsend and the men's basketball program are thrilled to officially welcome 15 new additions to the roster ahead of the upcoming season. The incoming class features 13  freshmen and two transfers, injecting an impressive blend of size, skill, and competitive energy into the program.

"We are very happy with our incoming recruiting class," said Head Coach Jordan Townsend. "Assistant Coach Frank Janczak deserves a ton of credit—he played an instrumental role in putting this class together. Our Junior Varsity program continues to play a major role in developing our young student-athletes. We wanted to bring in some size and talent to elevate our competition in practice, and we believe we did just that. This group paired with our returners should be a lot of fun."
