Our Big South Preview continues today with the Campbell Camels. Campbell finished this past season in a tie for 3rd place in the North Division with a 7-9 conference mark and 13-20 overall record. Campbell lost in the quarterfinals of the Big South Tournament to Gardner-Webb 71-57. Head coach Robbie Laing was fired on March 11. Reports began circulating on Wednesday that Campbell will hire UR associate head coach Kevin McGeehan.

White tore his meniscus in his left knee and had surgery in January 2013. He only played in 11 games this past season for the Camels, and is reportedly applying for a medical redshirt. So, he could return which would mean Campbell could bring back their entire roster.

Outlook
A lot depends on how Coach McGeehan and the team gels and Darren White’s status, but the Camels have enough talent to be dangerous. They could be a serious threat for the #1 spot in the North.
