High Point entered the 2024-25 season as the clear favorite in the Big South and delivered. The Panthers won the conference title in Johnson City, Tennessee, and nearly upset No. 4 seed Purdue in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Despite losing multiple starters and longtime coach Alan Huss, new coach Flynn Clayman has rebuilt the roster with hopes of keeping High Point near the top in 2025-26.
Here are the 10 new players who joined the Big South champions.
