I’m thinking all of,the guards will have plenty of minutes available as it is likely that the inexperienced bigs will likely get into fouls trouble-especially the early part of the season.

I think he'll blend in pretty quickly and be ready to go by November.
Just a matter of him meshing with his new teammates.
Do we know for sure he will be here the beginning of August?
Actually, Foumena missing the summer sessions is a bigger concern and our frontcourt is our most inexperienced group.

I think teams are allowed practice sessions in August because many schools go on foreign trips and play exhibition games in early and mid-August.
Again, this is just my guess.

I just read the article, and Koch confirmed Ant and Foumena are coming in the fall. It sounds like Archie and our staff have them following a strict plan while they train and practice on their own.steveystuds06 wrote: ↑1 year ago I asked everyone I possibly knew about Ant's status, and I was told that he'll be coming in the Fall.

Koch article mentions 8 weeks of summer practice. I believe they have one week left.
The NCAA doesn’t allow practices after the 8 weeks. Players go home for August.
When the players get back to start the semester practice hours are limited for the first 1 1/2 months. They are allowed to increase practice hours to 20 per week starting around Oct 18th.
Teams going on foreign trips get an additional 2 weeks of practice. I think schools can only do a foreign summer trip every 3 or 4 years.

That is my understanding.

Re: Anthony Harris (UNC —>> URI)
1. Ant hasn’t been seen on campus once
2. Archie followed him until about a week ago on Twitter
3. We have landed two guards, which has put us over our limit on scholarships.
I don’t think he’s coming. I hope I’m wrong.

Archie would have to trim his roster for 23-24, with adding both Cam and Dubs.
If Ant doesn't show up, more playing time for Ish and Bassy.

Re: Anthony Harris (UNC —>> URI)
I questioned at the beginning of the summer if Ant was going to come to Kingston. I think Jersey77 lashed out at that.
Interesting on Twitter is that Ant’s profile pic is still Rhody and he still has several Rhody MBB followers - Thorr, Shane, @RhodyMBB, Archie’s wife and a few of the players.

Although because of his history of injuries and very limited minutes at UNC, I wasn't sure how big of an immediate impact he would have.
I also find it problematic that after 3 years at UNC, he is still dealing with academic issues.

Re: Anthony Harris (UNC —>> URI)
Jersey doesn't lash out at anyone. But yes, 83, After a couple of us brought this up, many people said we were overreacting. From what I can tell, every recruit that Archie followed that committed somewhere else he unfollowed on Twitter. Including Adrian Myers, who just left. That is not a good sign at all.
Ant would make a massive impact, especially on the defensive end.
As a fanbase, we try to convince ourselves that key players can be replaced, like when Tyrese and Toppin left. So I'm going to do that now!
Guys like Bassy and Ish are not pieces on a championship-level team. BUT, I think Connor and Cam will be outstanding A10 players. If Ant not coming means we landed a 4-year young stud PG in Cam, then it's not all bad. Our program is not going to be determined by one recruit.
Let's hope Ant is still committed and can play this year or, at the very least, is figuring out his grades and can play at some point.

Re: Anthony Harris (UNC —>> URI)
I don’t think - judging by every other aspect of my life - that I’ve just suddenly become extremely zen. But I just can’t get worked up about this the way I think I would have five years ago. I think Harris would be a stud here, and I hope he finds his way to campus and onto the court. I also just feel like with college sports now that personnel is so transient and fluid that I think I’m just incapable of “counting on” any one particular player to always be where they are supposed to be at any given time. One way to look at that is that it sucks and that I’m now officially jaded, but honestly it’s pretty freeing to look at this stuff with a bit of emotional remove and be resigned to the fact that this type of stuff is just going to keep happening - here and everywhere else - so we might as well accept it.

Why not let the Head Coach announce if anything needs to be announced?
I am sure he will let people know at the appropriate time if any changes have taken place. Maybe nothing at all.

Re: Anthony Harris (UNC —>> URI)
Obviously anything official will come from the team/school.
To say it’s nothing at all is being blind.
He committed to URI on June 9th and hasn’t been on campus since.
Every other player was on campus at some point during the summer and every other player is there now.

Re: Anthony Harris (UNC —>> URI)
So why don't you think the Coaching Staff has given an update to you? Maybe because some things might need to remain confidentiall at this point in time?
I never said it was nothing at all, I said it COULD be nothing at all.
To me it just sounds like some here do not 100% trust the Coaching Staff and we have not even played our 1st game yet.
Seems like some are angry that the Coaching Staff has not let on that Harris is not on campus, not planning on attending, might not be on the team. Is the frustration that the Staff has not communicated the details yet? and they should have by now? Just not sure I understand the frustration and who the frustration can be fixed.
Maybe there is no story here at all, and then maybe there is but it must be kept confidential for a period of time.
Roster movement is becoming a 12 month a year process now - both adding and subtracting.

Re: Anthony Harris (UNC —>> URI)
That seems to be the leader in clubhouse, among the whispers. If it was an injury concern, I think someone would have come out and said something about it. If Harris was suddenly concerned about his fit or role on the team, well, it's now sufficiently late that he's probably not going to be able to play for another team in 2022-23. (Maybe a junior college?)

Re: Anthony Harris (UNC —>> URI)
People can have questions about the roster and still trust our staff. The main frustration is that we were all very excited about landing Ant Harris, and we want him to be on the roster this season. It's starting to gain some steam on Twitter, so my guess is they will say something soon.ramster wrote: ↑1 year agoSo why don't you think the Coaching Staff has given an update to you?
