Coach Thomason on Troyer: "Chad had a good redshirt season last year learning how to open up and become more of a leader. Chad is an outstanding shooter, real physical, plays very intense and wants to do well. He can really score because he has deep range. Chad will be competing for the starting two guard position. He gives us good size at the guard spot. I like his flexibility and his attitude is unbelievable. I think he is going to be someone who can score some points and give as good stability from the perimeter."
