If those offers are accurate for Dimon then we are in good company...might be better than I thought....

Rhodymob05 · Unread post by **Rhodymob05** » 5 years ago

Looks like a great replacement/upgrade for Mike.

ace · Unread post by **ace** » 5 years ago

UConn’s previous staff was involved when he was in high school, but I haven’t heard of any current interest.

ramster · Unread post by **ramster** » 5 years ago

Good news is that he is from Lynn Massachusetts and played for BABC. After having spent time in Midland/Odessa Texas he is likely to yearn for home again. There is not much out there except oil wells and flat plains.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 5 years ago

Do we have any connection with BABC?

rhodyblue12 · Unread post by **rhodyblue12** » 5 years ago

Exactly what we need. Staff addressing a weakness exposed by Davidson and St Bonnie.
League not just about guards anymore. Good job.

JUCO: Odessa Community College (TX)
High School: Cambridge Rindge & Latin (MA)

Two years of eligibility

Rhody83 · Unread post by **Rhody83** » 5 years ago

Previous interest from Houston and Syracuse.

It appears he wants to commit to Rhody. Staff decision at this point.
Visit is scheduled in next two weeks.

Looks like he can rebound and block shots at the JC level. FT's no.

Not much offensive game.

Can see why Reid would be a priority ahead of him.

Dino611 · Unread post by **Dino611** » 5 years ago

Looking at some of his in game stats he fouls out / gets in foul trouble some of his games, but had good rebounding numbers in limited minutes

Dino611 · Unread post by **Dino611** » 5 years ago

And I can totally see why they prefer Reid over him

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 5 years ago

I don't think he would play many minutes here.

Just my opinion, popular or not.

Rhody83 · Unread post by **Rhody83** » 5 years ago

If they take him, my guess is to spell Cyril 8-10 minutes. He has the size and game to protect the paint at the 5 more than Harris or Walker. Total role player. Rebound, Defense & Blocks.

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 5 years ago

You do need those guys. I’d prefer a four year impact guy, obviously, but I think we’d have been better last year if we could have gotten that from Tertsea, for example.

rhodyblue12 · Unread post by **rhodyblue12** » 5 years ago

Reid is the better long term play. High upside. More of a wing (like Delroy).
Carrigan fills an immediate need. 10-12 min guy that protects the rim. Then, next year more minutes.
I wish he was 245 lbs instead of 215.

The pressure to win next year is high and will drive the decision, in my opinion. A window is closing.
This is much like the pressure that drove Dan to take Preston over Toppin.
There are times, as a mid major, when you have to make decisions like this.
(This assumes, of course, that the staff is in a situation to make a decision in the first place)

Ramulous · Unread post by **Ramulous** » 5 years ago

Is it true that he has offers from Syracuse, Temple, Florida and Clemson? Or is it just "interest"?

That would be telling about his ability to contribute.

I agree with this. Although you aren’t going to have 13 impact players at URI and we got nothing from Tertsea the last few years I would prefer to look around and see if we can get someone that won’t be a complete liability on the offensive end. He contributed almost no offense at the juco level meaning he had better be a very high end defensive player and rebounder. There are a lot of transfers and also some recruits that will change their mind. Maybe even a player that sits a year with 2-3 years eligibility left.

DC_Rams · Unread post by **DC_Rams** » 5 years ago

He is a high end defensive player. One of the best shot blockers in JUCO. He will extend the rotation and allow Cyril to rest 5-8 minutes a game.

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 5 years ago

Right now Cyril is the only center on the roster so, having another center would really help. Especially if hes 6'10 and really good at blocking shots.

It would be nice to have a guy who can do that and score, but those are especially hard to come by.

Are we looking at anyone else other than Reid and Carrigan?

Don’t think so. I think we will end up with Carrigan, so let’s be prepared to welcome the kid if he decides to come here. He did start and play for one of the best JUCO teams in the country. He’s doing something right....

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 5 years ago

But does he want to come here and play 10 minutes a game or go to a lower level and play much more?

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 5 years ago

People are acting like defensive minded centers are not a commonplace thing in basketball. Personally, i think if the guy is a good-or-better rim protector and rebounder and has the ability to score on put backs and/or running the floor then there could be much more than 10 minutes per game available for him.

RIFan · Unread post by **RIFan** » 5 years ago

I think how much time he would get depends on how much Harris improves. If Harris makes a decent jump then 10-15, barring injury or foul trouble is all that should be expected. I expect Walker will get minutes at the 4 as well.

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 5 years ago

A rim protector and rebounder is a huge game changer to a defensive scheme, allows your guards to pressure the ball and know they have protection in the paint, makes guards second guess dribble drives, that alone can catapult a team. I think of teams like Baylor who always seem to have an elite shot blocker who only dunks or gets putbacks on O. I like this pick up if that’s the way we go.

Rhodymob05 · Unread post by **Rhodymob05** » 5 years ago

Need size, every major game we’ve lost going back the past few seasons has had a lot to do with our lack of size. (Scoring in the paint rebounds rim protection ect. Langivine cant carry the load and Harris/Mading needs a buddy down there moving forward.

Rhodymadness401 · Unread post by **Rhodymadness401** » 5 years ago

Think of the days when Hassan Martin roamed the Ryan center, teams where affraid to drive to the basket which allowed the guards to pressure the ball even more with confidence knowing that they had a rim protector. this season we had a total of 129 blocks 2016-2017 206 .

This alone tells you what we need, a rim protector, doesn't have to block all the shots, changing shots is just important.

Agreed. We have plenty of scorers. This off-season was about picking up a shot blocking big and a shooter. I know we’re all hoping Sheppard fills the later.

I'm down for Carrigan!

Seawrightspostgame · Unread post by **Seawrightspostgame** » 5 years ago

Players than can contribute and have an impact are good takes to me. Rim protector is something not on the roster.

Yes Cyril is the only guy that can guard any good bigs and last time he guarded a good big he got 26 and 22 put on him... could maybe use a guy like Carrigan

SandorClegane · Unread post by **SandorClegane** » 5 years ago

Has Carrigan put on anymore weight or is he still hooverig around 215. Would love to see him bulk up to 240 if he’s going to spell Cyril and bang with Mitchell, Santos-Silva and Obi.

This sounds like a major upgrade over Tertsea !! Hope we get him

Heard he is 6’10” 220 so not much bulk. Harris is 6’8” 220. Maybe they can bulk up together.

Yes - not a ton of minutes next year on what you think is an NCAA team. His senior season should be a huge boost in minutes when he is the only returning post defender (on what should be again an NCAA team if the remaining freshmen develop). Bring in the 4 year defensive minded big in the 2020 class.

I like Reid as well, but there is a difference between 6’8” (which usually means 6’7”) and a guy who is 6’10” especially if he has some length.

RhodysRelevant · Unread post by **RhodysRelevant** » 5 years ago

really hope they can land this young man.

Rhodymob05 · Unread post by **Rhodymob05** » 5 years ago

I've noticed more teams getting deeper at the forward spot, even the A10. Even if he plays 10 mins, that would be great for the team as a whole. Playing offense/defense and maybe challenging other players for more time. This team needs a kick in the butt and next year is gonna me competitive as hell.

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 5 years ago

I like this guy more than I do Reid right now.

Immediate help on defense and potentially a lot of help against foes with good bigs.

We can get a stud big next year after we GO ON A BIG RUN IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT BECAUSE WE ARE TIRED OF THIS LOSING SHIT AND FATTS BECOMS THE NEXT DREW EDWARDS.

After all that, the big guys will come.
