Head coach Greg Gary begins his fourth season leading the Mercer men's program. Gary's squads have recorded 51 wins in his first three seasons; 51 wins in three seasons is the most by any coach in school history. The Bears have quality experienced players returning. Senior Kamar Robertson started 17-29 games he played in last season and played some of his best basketball at the end of the season in the Southern Conference Tournament. Robertson had a double-double, 16 points and 12 rebounds, in the tournament opener against Western Carolina, and scored 20 points the next game against Furman. For the season, Robertson averaged in double figures scoring 10.5 per game. Senior James Glisson III is the other returning starter who averaged in doubles figures last season at 10 points per game. Glisson was a starter in 21-31 games he played, scoring a season high 25 points against Georgia State. Post player Shannon Grant returns for his junior season after seeing action in 31 games last year. Against Samford last season, Grant showed what a force he can be inside when he tallied 23 points, shooting 10-14 from the floor, and pulling down 10 rebounds. Shawn Walker Jr. will be another senior starter for the Bears after starting 20 games in 2021-22. Of the returners, Walker Jr. is the leading free-throw shooter at 81.1 percent. Local product Jordan Jones, who played high school ball at First Presbyterian Day School in Macon, became a fan favorite last season when he stepped in and started 10 games at point guard as a true freshman. The Bears also welcome four new transfer players for the 2022-23 season: Nana Akenten from Nebraska/Southeast Missouri State University, Jalen Cobb from Fordham, Jalyn McCreary from South Carolina/South Florida and Luis Hurtado Jr. From UAB/Bryant University.
