Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Roundball reality really has changed from one year to the next for Wright State’s Keaton Norris.
By this time last October, the 6-foot guard — who is slated to be the Raiders’ starting point guard when they open this season next month at Kentucky — had chosen to remove himself from the team’s active roster and take a redshirt year to develop rather than take on a subservient role.
After being a considerable part of the WSU team that had won an NCAA Tournament game two seasons prior, he had hoped to be the Raiders starting point guard last year. But then Trey Calvin announced — rather than pursue a pro career overseas — he was returning for a fifth season.
Calvin had started 61 games over the previous two seasons and was well on his way to a career that would end up with back-to-back first team All-Horizon League honors and 2,139 career points, eighth most in conference history.
And when Tanner Holden returned from a one-year dalliance at Ohio State for a fifth season and what would lead to a 2,100-point career as well, the die was cast.
The 2023-24 Raiders would be Calvin’s and Holden’s team to lead.
