2007-08: Hauled in a season-high 13 rebounds to go with seven points off the bench against East Tennessee State. Knocked down 9-of-12 shots from the floor en route to 20 points in a home win over Toledo. He missed two weeks with a with a fracture in one of the sesamoid bones in his right foot. Totaled a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds at George Washington. Played in 31 games during the season averaging 8 points and 4.6 rebounds.

Junior forward Charles Little might be on of the most inaccurately named player in the country. At 6-foot-6, 237 pounds, he brings a powerful physical preference package to the floor. And with the best measured vertical leap on the team, well off the floor too. In fact, Little's 43-inch vertical makes him President of UD's "Flight Club," which is made up of players with verts of 40 inches or more. Chris Wright is Vice-President at 42 inches, and Marcus Johnson is at 40 inches (rounded up from 39.5).

2006-2007:Little, who led Dayton in rebounding (5.2) and FG% (.519, 137-264) and was second in scoring (10.5), was named last year's Atlantic 10 Sixth Man of the Year but finished the year as a starter due to an injury to now-graduated Monty Scott. In Scott's absence, Little averaged 16.9 points and 8.6 rebounds and had the first two double-doubles of his career.

When Scott went down, the Flyers needed someone to step up and be a second scoring option behind Brian Roberts. Little filled the bill. In the last seven games of the year, he scored career-highs in three straight games, had two double-doubles and just missed a third by one point.

As UD's top rebounder, Little took home the "Shorty" Sharpenter Memorial Rebounding Trophy. Little averages 5.1 rebounds a game. He closed the regular season with three double-digit rebounding performances in the last five games, including a career-high 16 at Temple.

Little's 34 dunks (32 over in the last 23 games of the 2006-07 season) were more than twice as many as anyone else on the team, and more than half of UD's 55 dunks last year. He had his first double-double against the A-10's most intimidating front line that included First Team All-Atlantic 10 selections Rashaun Freeman and Stephane Lasme in the UMass game, tallying then-career highs in points (21) and rebounds (10).

2005-2006:Little began the 2005-06 year with a hamstring injury, but once it healed he showed why he was one of the 2005 finalists for Mr. Basketball in the state of Tennessee. After averaging just 7.9 minutes, 2.7 points and 1.7 rebounds a game in non-conference action, Little all but doubled his production in league play, picking it up to the tune of 18.1 minutes, 6.3 points and 3.1 rebounds in A-10 action.

Because of this, he was named the recipient of UD's Chris Daniels Memorial Most Improved Player Award and the winner of the Thomas M. Luppe Award, which is presented each year to the top freshman on the team.

And that improvement did not stop when the season ended. In the off-season, Little had an average strength increase of 54 pounds over his four major lifts (squat, bench, clean & jerk), a 220-pound improvement in total strength. At the same time, he gained 15 pounds of muscle while maintaining 7% body-fat, and increasing his vertical leap from 37 to 41 inches.

For his freshman season, Little averaged 4.6 points and 2.6 rebounds.

High School:Little came to UD after a spectacular career at Cleveland High School in Cleveland, Tennessee. Little led his team to the Tennessee AAA state quarterfinals and was a finalist for the TSSAA's Mr. Basketball Award (Arizona signee J.P. Prince won the award).

A three-time all-state selection, Little averaged 20.6 points and 10.3 rebounds while leading Cleveland to a 26-10 overall record. Included in that season was a school-record 49-point, 26-rebound performance over Red Bank in the regional semifinals.

As a junior, Little averaged 21.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, 3.1 assists and 2.2 steals. As a sophomore, he averaged 18.1 points and 9.2 rebounds, leading his team to a 28-5 record and a ranking as high as third in the state of Tennessee.

Little turned heads during the summer of 2004 when he was named to the senior all-star squad at the ABCD Camp in Teaneck, New Jersey, but the UD Flyers knew about him long before that. Little's high school coach, Aaron Green, played at the University of Tennessee when Dayton assistant coach Billy Schmidt was on the staff.

After wearing #3 as a freshman, he switched to #15 (his high school number) in 2006-07 with the graduation of Logan White.
