Also Bilau was plagued by injuries this year.
I think Weston is a talented player and will keep improving.
Rory is a big who is capable of stretching the floor and only a freshman.
Alex is athletic and still raw, only played a total of 3 games before arriving here.
Hutch we haven't seen much, so don't know.
I think it is way too early to give up on all these players.
at this point in the season those are the guys that should be getting some time. 'show me' minutes. we're not playing for anything expect next season. you want to play next season? earn your spot now.

Re: Who will Stay and Who will Go?
Right? If we get a player who can score 6 pg average, they would be a starter on this team. That's how bad it is.NYGFan_Section208 wrote: ↑1 year agoI hear you ...

Shouldn't this be in the Ant thread?Rhody15 wrote: ↑1 year ago...Did you just put a player never enrolled at the school or on the team on this list?SGreenwell wrote: ↑1 year ago Lumping players into tiers here, but...
Tier 1 - Leggett. Clearly valuable, the closest thing this team has to a "star," and as Bill Koch said in a post elsewhere on the board earlier in the year, the only guy who absolutely would have gotten minutes on our of our past tournament teams. At times earlier in the year, it seemed like he wasn't as aggressive as he could be, but if there's one silver lining from our consecutive crap-outs to end the year, its that it has forced Leggett to become focal point of the offense and the clear #1 guy.
Tier 2 - Carey, Bilau, Weston, Tchikou. All four are raw, regardless of their respective ages or experience levels, but have shown glimpses of performance. Can they ever stabilize it enough to be valued contributors, or be healthy enough to make it through a full season? Questionable. And in Carey's case, I'm more listing him because he has eligibility left. I assume he'll go pro / finish his college career, since that's the indication we've gotten from staff most of the year. But, I think all of them have shown enough that staff would tell them that they have a reasonable line on playing time next year.
Tier 3 - Thomas, Samb, Stewart, Hutchinson. This is more the group that staff probably is being more honest about "their role going forward," a.k.a. "you're probably coming off the bench, ideally." Thomas (shooting), Samb (rebounding) and Stewart (defense) have clear limitations in their game that I'm not positive they can improve on enough to be viable A-10 players. Hutchinson can't get playing time right now despite a very shallow depth chart, which is usually a very bad sign about a player's future production.
Tier 4 - Harris and Foumena. I think Harris would be an excellent A-10 player, judging from his UNC stats, but I have serious doubts he'll ever suit up for Rhody. At this point, if he does play college basketball in 2023-24, I'd assume that URI has to re-recruit him, in competition with any other D-I program. Foumena, similar to Hutchinson, I don't think it's a great sign that he redshirted instead of being on this roster, given the lack of strength on the depth chart. I can understand that there were health reasons for it, but the track record of URI players redshirting their freshman year, and then being valued contributors later on, is pretty short, especially if you're looking at the past 25 years, and not dipping back into the 1980s and 1990s.
Why the hell are people so obsessed with this kid? He was never on the team, nor will he be.
He did NOTHING in the ACC to warrant being considered an excellent A10 player. Doesn't seem to give a shit about academics and is injury prone.

EC Mathews scored over 14 points per game his freshman year. We are not paying a coach $2 Million+ for a guy who scores 6.

U cannot have an entire roster of maybe’s and “if only…” and most freshman. My ideal roster would be 5 experienced players and the developmental ones and freshman are the 5-9 players.

So you want to ride it out with a consistently inconsistent 6th year senior guard (Carey) who can’t shoot threes and is a turnover machine but give up on the 1st year guy with the 7’7 wing span ?

Re: Who will Stay and Who will Go?
Bigs need time to develop so yes I feel we need to be patient with Tchikou in particular, and maybe Foumena. I am not as high on the others as some here. As for the wings and guards, truly good ones generally contribute their freshman year. Ish did, EC, Terrell, Dowtin etc. We need an massive infusion of talent; not just one or two guys.

He looks a lot more athletic in that video. It looks like that injury really affected him.

Re: Who will Stay and Who will Go?
It’s ok to have Foumena and Frenchie on the team- just can’t count of them as your inside man next year. With Bilau coming back from injury he is also an unknown. We need a reliable 5 who can score on a pick and roll and hit a few baby hook shots and obviously a 4 and point guard. Anything less should be considered a poor performance by our staff.

Lou & Rory got more time than Samb today, as most of us said he’s good as gone as the seasons over

Re: Who will Stay and Who will Go?
Some of you don’t remember how raw Cyril was or any other big not named Hassan their first years. And Alex has no Hassan to practice against and learn from

Re: Who will Stay and Who will Go?
Yes some players take time to develop and others are good right away. Unfortunately you can’t tell until year 2 or three for the ones you hope will develop. We obviously need players who are good right away, who will be Archie’s first big time recruit?

Re: Who will Stay and Who will Go?
I do he was raw but not as raw as Tchikou and was producing more in more limited minutes as was able to catch a ball, but surf Tchikou is already a sophomore, Cyril was getting some consistent scoring and rebounding off the bench his sophomore year

Re: Who will Stay and Who will Go?
Let’s remember, Cyril’s hands were not exactly like, like the soft supple meat hooks of Andre Berry. But Cyril did improve in that area.

Re: Who will Stay and Who will Go?
I think I saw them play at The Mist back in the day?
Mobley was fouled.

Re: Who will Stay and Who will Go?
They are going to need people who can rebound. You get rid of Martin, Carry, and Samb, that's about 15 rebounds a game. And we need better production than that, because our rebounding was not where it needed to be.
So, when they look at JUCO's, the portal, etc, it's actually more important what kind of rebounding they bring to the table than what kind of offensive production. Ideally, URI needs that guy that can produce a double/double again, if they want to get back into this. but, I would settle for 9 and 11.

Re: Who will Stay and Who will Go?
Both JUCO prospects, Troy Brown and Buru Naivalurua, avg double/doubles for their respective teams. That's what Rhody needs. And you see a lot of other A10 teams going after these players, particularly Brown and the swingman on his team, Tracey.
Except for maybe Bilau, our bigs don't rebound. That's a glaring need right now.

Re: Who will Stay and Who will Go?
One thing I've noticed about Rory. He finds someone to put a body on and box them out on defense, but then doesn't go after the ball. Even at Orangeville, he didn't play the 5, so this is all new to him.jcru wrote: ↑1 year ago Both JUCO prospects, Troy Brown and Buru Naivalurua, avg double/doubles for their respective teams.

Re: Who will Stay and Who will Go?
i would really like to dunk more often than I do now. Which is never, even tho my son has the hoop set at about 8'...RhodyRams916 wrote: ↑1 year agowhat?NYGFan_Section208 wrote: ↑1 year agoNow that you mention it... I wouldn't mind dunking the ball more often myselfRhodyRams916 wrote: ↑1 year ago
Yeah, a nice jumper too. I'd like to see him dunk the ball more often.
There's a ton of improved quality of life that comes with artificial knees - hops - just not one of them. It's like I am rooted to the ground.
So, yes, I'd like to see myself dunking more often as well...both of us....me and whoever we're talking about here

Re: Who will Stay and Who will Go?
Yeah, I think he and at least one or two of the other bigs we have, are not used to playing in the paint or rebounding. They are all the same kind of position players, Rory has the edge on outside shooting and the others may have the edge in athleticism.
So, I think if you do get that key player who can give you a reliable double double, then Rory is further out, when he is in the game, and he might get a couple more rebounds just from being in position of where their trajectory is going, like the wing players tend to do.
I mean, of the hold overs, you have Bilau and maybe Foumena, who actually play in the paint. The rest are basically just big bodies playing out of position.

Re: Who will Stay and Who will Go?
Cyril's per 40 minutes as a freshman were 9.8 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, 1.4 steals... and 7.4 fouls. Tchikou isn't a freshman - you can handwave it, and say that he's "really" one because he didn't play last year for Alabama if you want - and he's at 9.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 0.8 steals, 5.9 fouls. I think he's still promising, but Cyril was only raw on the offensive end and in comparison to Hassan Martin. He was a valuable player from day one at URI.

If Tchikou and Samb don't play in the paint, where do they play?
