Re: Rhody MBB Scholarship Tracker
Have any of these guys included the 'possibility to return'? Or are all of them definitely gone?

Re: Rhody MBB Scholarship Tracker
I don't think any of them have released those kind of personal statements on Twitter or Instagram you see this time of year, but all of them putting their names in on the first day of the portal suggests to me that they're all gone.Billyboy78 wrote: ↑2 months ago Have any of these guys included the 'possibility to return'?

Re: Rhody MBB Scholarship Tracker
If thinks stay pat as they stand now, I am good with this core going into next season.
I thought they may upgrade from Ways, but maybe Archie sees some upside potential there.
Anyway, with the current 4 open spots, I wouldn't mind adding a solid veteran PG, a CG/Wing that can be a glue guy and can also stretch it, a rim protector, and a PF.
I expect our staff to up their game and our defense should be much improved.
I think having this past year together will help our team's chemistry and overall effort going forward.

Two open questions I still have is, does House go pro ? And how soon will the KJ question get resolved so we can get clarity on the incoming freshman and get another recruiter in so we can move on ?
I think the sooner we get definitive answers on those two questions, the better off we will be.
I have no inside intel so there is the very real possibility that the answers have already been provided to Archie but official word is being delayed.

Re: Rhody MBB Scholarship Tracker
Yes it is still very possible that more of our players can leave, the portal has only been open about a week, and some of our players can also decide to play overseas or pursue something else.NYGFan_Section208 wrote: ↑1 month agoIs there any reason think that more Rhody players could be hitting the portalet?

I hope this core group remains including the recruits, but who knows.

A coach doesn't even need to tell a player to transfer, or that he has no minutes next year. Just tell him they have no NIL coming next year.

Re: Rhody MBB Scholarship Tracker
It seems almost all of the players we have been reported 'showing interest' are guards, even though it's obvious we need bigs. I think more guards ( 1 or 2 of Luis, House and Ways) and/or our incoming guard won't be here.

Yeah, this one is puzzling. Archie said how proud he was of Brandon, how hard he worked and how he had become a leader. He was also starting and getting plenty of minutes down the stretch. That would make it appear that Archie wanted him back. Maybe Brandon didn't want Archie.RhowdyRam02 wrote: ↑1 month agoUnless Archie didn't want him back and/or Arizona State is promising a top role, wouldn't he just be better off coming back to us?

Re: Rhody MBB Scholarship Tracker
Yeah - Leggett's profile and past experience was way different. Three years at URI and two of them, the team was awful. I can't really fault him for wanting to go to a team that wasn't in rebuild mode for his final year or two. Plus, D.C. to Pitt is a reasonable drive for his family.RhowdyRam02 wrote: ↑1 month agoRight, but he got a solid role with a decent ACC schoolsection(105) wrote: ↑1 month ago Didn’t something similar happen with Ish?

Weston averaged 19 MPG for us, 5.4 PPG and 2.5 RPG. He broke 10 PPG five times this year. I think he's probably a less appealing prospect for high major teams than Foumena, who you can talk yourself into based on "athletic big, maybe it was a poor fit with Miller." I think Weston will be pursued harder by small conference teams that'll tell him he can go there and get 25, 30 MPG (almost) guaranteed.

Re: Rhody MBB Scholarship Tracker
So far this is what our roster line-up looks like:
PG - Luis, Ways, Ben
CG- House, Cam
Wing - Zek, Farrell
SF/PF- Green
PF/C- Fuchs
I do like the experience returning (so far) and feel this will be a competitive group.
The additional year together will help the team's chemistry and I expect the defense to be much improved.
We are very thin upfront, so we obviously need more depth there.
Maybe an experienced true PG because Luis is questionable at that position, Ways hasn't shown much yet, and Ben is only a true freshman.
I was thinking our biggest jump would be in 25-26 (year 4 of Archie) but our 4 core players will be out of eligibility.
So, let's see how this staff does in the portal and the development of our young players.
PG - Luis, Ways, Ben
CG- House, Cam
Wing - Zek, Farrell
SF/PF- Green

That roster does not move the needle whatsoever.
That's also assuming Hammond stays and plays.
If he were to leave, as it stands,
winning 10 games would be a stretch.

If Archie can bring in some pieces that fit and with more depth upfront, we should be okay.
This along with many of our A10 rivals losing key players, I expect us to be very competitive in 24-25.

Even if they are better than I just said, do they finish at .500?
The point is about winning, not going from crap to mediocrity. We've been mediocre for far too long.
The 4 or so transfers that Archie will bring in will be everything toward how good we will be

We need better defenders and FT shooters, and a full roster of guys that give 100% effort 100% of the time.
That's a big ask. Could it happen? Yes.
Will it happen? That's the 64000 dollar question.

I doubt players who have a questionable work effort are going to magically become dedicated and fully committed all of a sudden.
They need to be identified and move on, and become someone else's problem.
If they dont want to play for this coach, how can you keep them around?

People have predicted there will be over 2000 transfers before the window closes.
So far, we're just past half way to that number.
So, how many more of our 9 remaining players will be leaving?
0? 1? 2? 3?

As far as defense goes Archie must feel comfortable that this core group will be able to get it done.
A year's experience playing together and for this staff will help.
Again successful coaches will be able to bring out the effort in his players, I think we will see much improvement in that area.
