...recognition as the Big Green’s point guard and top scorer. In his stead, Callahan will serve as Faucher’s floor general. He’ll have huge shoes to fill ... McLaren emerged last season as one of the league’s top sharp-shooters in his rookie season. Expect more of the same in 2002-03 ... Harris is the Big Green’s leading returning scorer. He averaged 10.8 ppg a season...
