Western Illinois Leathernecks

The Western Illinois Leathernecks are about to start the season and they will now be coached by Rob Jeter. The Leatherbacks last season were one of the worst teams finishing with only 5-21 record. This will be a very new team from last season as they have only one senior coming back in Anthony Jones. There will be a total of 14 new players wearing the Leatherbacks jerseys and they are composed of five freshmen and nine transferees. This is in accordance with the plan of Jeter to revamp the basketball program and he will be bringing his 11-year experience at Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
