Being outsized by opponents is something the Colonials will not have to worry about next season. Four high school recruits, including the highly-touted forward Omar Williams, are at least 6-foot-6 and comprise the 22nd strongest class in the country, according to RivalsHoops.com.

The new quota applies to all Center for Academic Technologies labs, including the basement of Gelman Library and excluding residence halls.
