Eugene Harris is wiping the slate clean. So much so that not even the returning seniors on the men's basketball team at FAMU are guaranteed playing time. "They're going to be challenged by younger guys," Harris said Tuesday during a meeting with the media. "That's going to make them step up, and if they step up they can keep their starting spot."
In his effort to turnaround the basketball program in his second year as head coach, Harris said he lost two players who were scheduled to return. They didn't want to be a part of his system, which emphasizes a renewed focus on academics and conditioning, he said. FAMU also lost five other players from last season's team.
As for the four returning players, Larry Jackson is the only returnee who wasn't a starter. The other three are guards Joe Ballard and Byron Taylor and forward Lamar Twitty.
