Notes: Adrian was a 4 year starter for UAM. He was a two time All Conference player and led the charge for UAM to win it's first conference and first two promotions to new leagues. There have been many that contributed to these feats, and it couldn't have been accomplished without every single one, but Adrian was the leader and pulled the most weight. That should be evident with his place in the record books. The man who began UAM's upward trajectory - Adrian Hinds.

Notes: One of the most underrated and unheralded players to ever don a UAM jersey, Morgan Coley may have been one of, if not THE, most important players to launch UAM into national prominence.

Knowing size was going to be a problem, Coach Evan Moreland needed to recruit some big men. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately in hindsight, he struck out on his initial choices and signed Morgan Coley at the last hour to fill out his class. Morgan wasn't highly recruited and actually didn't have any other D-1 or D-2 offers to play ball. He was a slightly undersized PF that Coach Moreland figured would be a project.

To everyone's surprise, that project was ready to contribute when the following season rolled around. He grew an inch and packed on 20 pounds of muscle to make him an immediate force off the bench. Couple that with his freakish athleticism, and he was a force to be reckon with. 42" vertical and 7'5" reach. He was a defensive nightmare for opposing teams.

Morgan wasn't the greatest in any one category for the Weevils, be he could do just about anything you needed to. He was the key cog during UAM's most successful run, including three National tournament runs, two Elite Eights, and three conference championships. None of which could have been accomplished without his efforts.

Congratulations to Morgan Coley for his induction into the UAM Sports Hall of Fame!
