I do not care that most of the photos in dread gallery #171 are near two years old. I said I was going to do two more DGs on the 2015-16 College Basketball season, and dammit, I'm going to do them. Hopefully I'll eventually get around to doing some stuff on the 2017 football seasons before those seasons are over; but right now I'm in basketball mode.
We saw the seniors with new dreads in DG167 and a few more seniors in DG169. Now in DG171 we'll take a long look at the remaining four Division 1 seniors with dreads, along with several shots of three juniors who didn't hang around for their senior seasons. All seven players featured played pro basketball during 2016-17, although only one of them was in the NBA.

Darnell Harris began the 2015-16 season hoping to play a lot more than the 18 minutes per game he played in his first season for Middle Tennessee State in 2014-15 (after transferring from junior college) - and he got his wish, averaging 26 minutes per game as a senior. Here Harris, a 6-8, 231-pound F, shoots over G JeQuan Lewis on Dec. 2. Darnell played 33 minutes in this game, finishing with 17 rebounds, 3 rebounds, 3 blocked shots, and 2 steals. But the Blue Raiders' 4-game winning streak came to an end with a 62-56 home loss to VCU.
