Philly Summer League: The Revised Rosters

By Mel Greenberg

With Division I players entering action Tuesday night and with the adjustment to the NCAA rule that freshmen also count as part of the limit of two Division I players per team, here are the revised rosters.

The trades were noted in the last league post but teams with those involved will get an X in front of their names and the players involved will have an abbreviation after their names where they come from.

It so worked out that the teams where trades were made are right on top of each other below so the pairs are Gold-Hunter Green, Navy Blue-Orange, and Royal Blue-Sky Blue.
