Despite the vacant coaching position, and despite the fact available roster spots for 2010-11 appear to be scarce, 21 new players took advantage of the opportunity to show their stuff. Folk and Robison were happy to see so many bodies on the court, even if only one or two of them eventually end up in UNBC uniforms.
