"We have a good nucleus," Few said. "We have a lot of experience and this team has three or four guys - maybe more - who can hurt you."
Gray has 958 career points as he zeroes in on becoming the 33rd member of the Bulldogs 1,000-point club, and his 98 steals are close to moving him into the career Top 10.
"We need a strong senior season from Steven," Few said. "He's a good leader and he's constantly improving his leadership skills. He's not a vocal leader, but he has the respect of his teammates and will definitely leave his mark on this team and the program."

Arop is back at a forward spot.
"Manny was probably our most consistent guy off the bench from mid-season on," Few said. "It may not have been reflected in his stats, but he did so many other little things for us that contributed to our success."

Sacre, who returned to play a full season last year after having the 2009 season cut short with recurring foot problems, averaged 5.4 rpg last season and had 65 blocked shots. He scored in double digits in 19 games, including a career-high 23 against Davidson College in the Battle in Seattle. He's also a career 51.3 percent shooter, and has continued to develop his offensive game.
"Rob might be the most improved player on the team if you consider the progress he's made since his freshman year, plus the fact he missed almost an entire year because of his injuries," Few said. "He has worked hard to improve all facets of his game, especially offensively. He will take on some leadership roles with Steven, and I'm certain they'll feed off each other."

Goodson, a junior, returns at point guard to give the Bulldogs experience at perhaps the most important position in Mark Few's system. Goodson averaged 6.4 ppg, 2.1 rpg and 1.8 assists/game as he and Bouldin basically operated in the role of two point guards last season.
"Demetri needs to jump his game to the next level this season," Few said. "He's shown he can run this team and he's worked on his game and his confidence in the off season. With our lack of experience at the guard spots we need a big season out of him."

"We have two goals - to win our conference and to play in the NCAA Tournament," Few said. "I think we have the team to make both of those things happen."
And hopefully 13 will be lucky for Few and the Bulldogs.
