The Eagles are just 4-11 with only one Division I win — a 74-72, overtime victory over Georgia State — but not all the news is bad as the Eagles have found a little bit of depth. One player that didn’t figure heavily into the preseason plans is Zuri James, a sophomore walkon playing his first season of Division I basketball.
