Preseason

Departures

Several players departed the program, 2 due to graduation, 2 more as graduate students completing their eligibility, and 2 to transfer.^[1]

Recruiting

With many departures, The Citadel added 10 new players for the 2016–17 season. This marks another step in moving from a slow pace to the Baucom-led uptempo style of play.^[2]^[3] At least one player changed his plans as a result of a photo that surfaced on social media which showed cadets dressed as ghosts, but widely interpreted as similar to Ku Klux Klan garb.^[4]
