The Bryant Bulldogs concluded the 2025‑26 season with only nine wins, prompting a sweeping rebuild that includes new players, a revamped coaching staff and a renewed emphasis on teamwork.
A revamped roster and coaching staff
Head coach Jamion Christian, now in his second year, is guiding a squad that will feature significant positional shifts for returning standouts Ty Tabales and Keegan Harvey, while welcoming transfers Eric Chatfield Jr., Andre Pasha, Onyx Nnani and Duane Thompson.
The new coaching trio — Randy Phillips, who will work with big men; Morgan Williams, overseeing offense; and Zavier Anderson, in charge of defense — bring experience with Shaka Smart’s Havoc system to the program.
Chatfield, who appeared in 14 games for Georgia Tech and posted a modest 11‑20 record, was recruited quickly for a fresh start, while Pasha, Nnani and Thompson arrive from New Haven, South Florida and St. Bonaventure respectively, each expected to contend for starting spots.
Tabales, a freshman standout in the conference, and Harvey, who ranked second in scoring and rebounding among the Bulldogs last season, will move to shooting guard and power forward respectively, aiming to capitalize on their proven abilities.
The staff and roster are largely finalized, though flexibility remains to adjust compositions before the season begins, and the team is mindful of the NCAA’s new 5‑in‑5 eligibility model shaping broader college athletics discussions.
