#1 David Lash
|
| 6'4 / 175lb / Forward |
Freshman |
|
Mentone, IN |
Tippecanoe Valley High School |
| Coach
Platt's Comments: “David
is a player that will certainly surprise some people as a freshman.
He is versatile, intelligent, and willing to do anything to
contribute, as any coach would like. Being a Presidential Scholar,
we never have to tell David twice!” |

#2 Kyle Ganton
|
| 6'5 / 195lb / Forward |
Senior |
| Coldwater,
MI |
Bronson
High School |
| Coach
Platt's Comments: “Kyle
has about the softest shooting touch you will ever see. He has
developed into a very good defensive player and has added strength
to go with his natural abilities. Kyle is much more competitive than
his laid-back personality would indicate. He is always willing to
take the big shot and we count on him for the kind of leadership it
takes to win championships. Kyle is blessed with the ability to
relate well with children. He will be the kind of teacher and role
model parents will especially want for their kids.” |

#3 James Haifley
|
| 6'0 / 196lb / Guard |
Senior |
|
Roanoke, IN |
Homestead
High School |
| Coach
Platt's Comments: “James
has improved his outside shooting and with his competitiveness, he’s
ready to make his senior year his best yet. Clearly, there is no
quit in James when it comes to rebounding or chasing a loose ball.
We can only hope that his attitude is contagious to the other
players this year! James has an unmatched work ethic in practice
that challenges the other players to work hard every day. He is a
driven, confident young man who definitely will be a success where
the Lord plants him.” |

#5 Jared Yoder
|
| 5'11 / 165lb / Guard |
Senior |
| Shipshewana,
IN |
Westview
High School |
| Coach
Platt's Comments: “Jared
has improved every year since coming to Huntington. He had a super
junior year playing at the point for us. His confidence, leadership,
and knowledge of the game are so important at his position. Jared
can hit the open shot if needed and he can score if his role, on a
given night, calls for that. Jared understands what he can and
cannot or should and should not do as well as anyone on the team. He
handles pressure well and has the composure necessary to lead the
team in tight situations. Jared will have an outstanding senior
year.” |

has an outstanding shooting stroke and is a very intelligent
basketball player. He eagerly anticipates some minutes and we are
confident he will do us a good job.” |

#11 Doug Sheckler
|
| 6'6 / 205lb / Forward |
Junior |
| Columbia
City, IN |
Columbia
City High School |
| Coach
Platt's Comments: “Doug
is a very skilled basketball talent. He loves to compete on both
ends. He makes opponents nervous with his versatile offensive
skills, as well as his ability to stop an individual on the
defensive end. Doug can play very well inside, outside, or in
transition when we have the ball. His maturity has made him more
aware of the importance of staying on the floor for major minutes.
Doug’s willingness to sacrifice his body is a continuing concern. We
need him to stay healthy and on the floor (playing not laying) as
much as possible! Doug’s wit and likable personality, combined with
his performance in the classroom, make him an example of the kind of
student-athlete we want to represent Huntington University and the
basketball team.” |

Sophomore |
|
Plymouth, IN |
Plymouth
High School |
| Coach
Platt's Comments: “Kyle
really adjusted well to the move up to the college level and had an
outstanding freshman year, ending on a high note at the National
Tournament. He is a talented offensive player with great range, and
with his quickness, is very good in transition. Kyle is also a good
combination guard, able to play both guard positions, creating
match-up problems for the defense. We expect Kyle to continue to
improve as his minutes improve.” |

#14 Ben Haifley
|
| 6'3 /
200lb / Forward |
Sophomore |
|
Roanoke, IN |
Homestead High School |
| Coach
Platt's Comments: “Ben
brings a physical strength and work ethic which we will be drawing
from this year. He plays with determination and has high
expectations for himself. Ben has vastly improved as an all-around
player and is prepared for quality minutes.” |

in practice, so we expect him to be more than ready when called on
this season. |

| 6'4 /
170lb / Guard |
Freshman |
|
Rochester, IN |
Rochester High School |
| Coach
Platt's Comments:
“Luke is a very
talented addition to our recruiting class. He can play either guard
position and at 6’4” causes some match-up problems. He will play a
lot this year and the fans will enjoy his ability to hit open shots,
his passing skill, and his transition game. He is simply an
intelligent and quality basketball player.” |

needed.” |

Freshman |
|
Greenwood, IN |
East Noble High School |
| Coach
Platt's Comments: “Kyle
knows what a good team player is. Being a coach’s son, he recognizes
the little things that make for a successful team. Kyle is an
excellent 3-point shooter, will never force anything, and
understands the importance of teammates.” |
| |
 |
#33 Kevin Kyle
|
| 6'7 / 190lb / Forward |
Freshman |
|
Crawfordsville, IN |
North Montgomery High School |
| Coach
Platt's Comments: “Kevin
is a solid, fundamentally sound 4-5 player. He is very coachable,
understands post play, and can hit the open 17-footer. As he matures
and gets stronger, he will be a great college player and could get
some extensive minutes this season.” |

#42 Alex Kock
|
| 6'5 / 210lb / Forward |
Senior |
| Auburn,
IN |
DeKalb
High School |
| Coach
Platt's Comments: “Obviously,
Alex is a special player. He is probably respected as much as any
young man that has worn an HU uniform. Alex is unbelievably
efficient in everything he does on the floor. His teammates have
tremendous confidence in him. That quiet and humble personality
makes Alex easy to like and enjoyable to be around. His effort is
the same every game. He never quits, no matter what the situation.
We get everything we expect at both ends of the floor. Once Alex’s
playing days are over, he will certainly make a great teacher and
coach.” |
