This year's version of the Cal Maritime Keelhaulers will feature seven new faces, all of whom are expected to make major contributions to the Keelhaulers' fortunes.

Cody Gatton, a 6-5 post, will enter Maritime as a junior, having played two seasons at San Diego CC, including being named all-conference as a sophomore. Gatton averaged 12.5 points and 7.2 rebounds his final season at SDCC. Will Williams, a 6-1 sophomore guard from Spring Valley, CA, played a year at Imperial Valley Junior College in Imperial, CA, for head coach Tyson Aye. Will is an outstanding ball -handler and floor leader. Also expected to contribute at the guard spot is 6-0 junior Mikey Ferguson from Chabot College in Hayward. Mikey was one of the Gladiators' top defenders and three-point shooters. Steve Barrera is a 6-5 forward out of Manteca, who played a year at Humboldt State University (Arcata, CA) and his sophomore year at the College of Alameda. Steve is a tough rebounder and an excellent shooter for his size.

Simon Heller, who most recently played at Porterville College, J.D. Stiles, a freshman from Murrietta Valley High School, where he averaged 10.5 points and 9.7 rebounds, and Greg Rogers (Mendocino College) are all expected to compete for time on the Maritime floor this upcoming season.
