New Keaney Blue Banner

Unread post by ramsman75 »

Not sure if it's been discussed previously but when the time comes to change the banner I'm hoping to see the five seniors have the honors for this season. I think they will all be significant contributors.

In my opinion Berry doesn't deserve to be up. He hasn't done anything here, and those 5 up top now were all significant contributors before the banner was made.

I already created the new banner last week and ATP will be getting it up soon. Berry didn't make the cut unfortunately. Only so much room up there.

If there's going to be 5 people, maybe coach should be one of them.

OK...so without making a major debate (and given that the banner is already created) I respectfully disagree with the decision to exclude Berry, presumably in favor of Cyril. I believe that this is one small way that we can recognize the tremendous effort that Andre appears to have made to get in better playing shape since his arrival in Kingston, effort that I believe will be rewarded this year when front court help will be at a premium.

Cyril has two more years to share the limelight of the highly respected and widely esteemed role of gracing the banner of Keaney Blue. This is Andre's last go-round.

the banner shouldn't have any bigs on it, just go with the 5 headed monster known as our guards...

Thanks for the warning; I just saved the current one.

I appreciate everyone's input on the banner, I had no idea it would be such a hotly debated topic! (kidding of course) As for Berry, while I love the kid and hope he is a huge contributor this year, I usually try to keep it focusing on just the starting five because I mentioned before there is only so much room up there and it's not going to look very good if you start trying to cram a bunch of guys on there. Not to even mention the fact that finding a useable photo of Berry is next to impossible (I looked) because he hasn't played all that much.

This year, I went with 6 guys because its still a little unclear exactly who may be starting and I think we have a pretty main core of 6 guys that everyone can agree will be like a starting 5 + 1, if you will.

I did try this last year after the A10 tourney and the photos available didn't look great when I put it together. Either way though, at this point I think it makes sense to turn the page to next season and make the focus on the guys on this year's roster. The trophy and "2017 A-10 Champions" part will stay.

No argument here...not sure how much work it is to change...but, maybe throw up a recognizable highlight every week or so as warranted...otherwise....post the ranking.... Then again, I'm still new and know very little....

It is done.

Adam made a version without the A10 Champs trophy, but I thought we can keep this up as long as Rhode Island is the reigning A10 champs.
