Re: How Many Current Players on Roster Nov 1?
I may be the high on this poll, going with lucky #11. I really do not want to see more than 2 players inbound in the portal. Why do we need to change the end of the bench as long as they work hard in practice? Are we building a culture or not? It seems strange to expect guys to play for each other when there is a threat of being pushed out of the program.

Re: How Many Current Players on Roster Nov 1?
I went with 8.
Top 6 from that list plus the 2 incoming.

Re: How Many Current Players on Roster Nov 1?
I have 3 tiers
Really want to keep them:
House
Green
Cam
Fuchs
Keep them if they will accept lesser roles next season and still be team first guys:
Luis
Weston
Everyone else expendable.
If the above plays out you have a core 6 returnees plus 2 freshmen. Then you hit the Portal as surgically as possible to fill holes.
-More shooting
-PG
-Rim protector
-3 and D guys

Re: How Many Current Players on Roster Nov 1?
Also in regards to PG there is at least a chance that Hammond was told he would get the keys from Day 1 and that is why he chose us. I have no way of knowing that but it wouldn’t be that surprising. I also wouldn’t hate it. But it will come with significant growing pains even if he is every bit as good as advertised.

Re: How Many Current Players on Roster Nov 1?
Hammond is absolutely key to any success we have starting next season.
Archie said when he signed that he was one of the best recruits he's ever got a commitment from.
Let's hope he's right.
Every URI team that was good that I can remember had a really good PG running the show.

Re: How Many Current Players on Roster Nov 1?
If Hammond IS as good as advertised, Archie has to find a way to keep him here past next season.
Just another reason why next season is so important.
Archie spoke of having continuity. Of course he's right there. Again, our best teams were made up of guys that were here 3 or 4 years.
Of course that's when teams were built from the ground up, in other words joined as freshman recruits and developed from there.
Again with the unlimited movement year to year that's the case now, it's going to be a lot harder to keep the gang together so to speak.
But it needs to happen, as difficult as it might be.

Re: How Many Current Players on Roster Nov 1?
Yes that’s my bad Brown should have been included in that second group. Also thinks Archie likes him and with another year under his belt can be a serviceable bench piece.SmartyBarrett wrote: ↑1 month agoI'd throw Brown into tier 2, but otherwise I totally agree here.bigappleram wrote: ↑1 month ago I have 3 tiers

Agree with Bigappleram- and on Brown as well, which means we should be in the market for another Big.

Looking like he will pursue professional ball overseas. He has been in college 4 years so the assumption is he would graduate in May?

Re: How Many Current Players on Roster Nov 1?
I said 5 of the 15 return
1. Hammond
2. Farrell
Then from among these 4 I’d expect 3 to stay for a total of 5 returnees:
3. Fuchs
4. Estevez
5. House
6. Green
1 or more of these 4 current players:
- may get a better offer which could include more playing time, more NIL or both
- may want a change of scenery with a different team in a different conference
House really improved his defense, his speed and aggressiveness the past month. Became a leader with more positivity.
Green had some injury issues and it was difficult to get back into playing condition considering the injuries. Showed good ability to score and score efficiently.

I went with 8. My guess is...
Fuchs
House
Green
Weston
Estevez
Dubsky
Hammond
Farrell
I could see maybe swapping Zek or Brown for Weston or Dubsky on this list.

Re: How Many Current Players on Roster Nov 1?
Can't really blame Luis if he is graduating and wants to go pursue a career overseas. For me, he was one that I was on the fence about. I do think he could be a positive vet presence and he always seemed to play hard out there, but I do think coming back would have to be in a reduced role a bit.

Re: How Many Current Players on Roster Nov 1?
19-28 are in the 6-8 group which makes total sense
I also like giving the keys to Hammond say 1 let him go out there and play for 30 plus minutes per night

I hope we are successful in buying better players. The great bulk of the rented paid professional mercenaries we had this past year just did not get it done. They most definitely did not earn their compensation and perks and proved on the court to be a bad investment. We need better professionals.

I've got 8 and that's with the hope that neither of the incoming frosh change their minds.

If they were truly professional, they wouldn't be setting up Go Fund, er, Collective Me's.

Ramster, so only 3 on the current roster plus the 2 recruits?

Re: How Many Current Players on Roster Nov 1?
Yes. 10 of the 15 on roster Nov 1
But most important is the Top 5 players. The quality of the Top 5 players is what separates the Tier 1 Teams from the rest.
We need players capable of being All Conference level.

I like your guess , I think 5 or 6 @ most

Many are going to want out on their own for a change of scenery, better opportunity for playing time and just because they can with no penalty.reef wrote: ↑1 month agoI like your guess , I think 5 or 6 @ most

I said 5 but even at the time I felt 5 was too high. Have worried about Kenny Johnson status since the Hammond Commitment.

Re: How Many Current Players on Roster Nov 1?
To me this feels about right - unless we get another PG and Ways hits the portal sensing his diminishing role.
That said - 5295 players in NCAA D1. Roughly 2000 or more to hit the portal, that means roughly 40% of your roster should be expected to turnover on average.

Long way to go til November
Likely more movement to come as players are added to the roster in the remaining 6 months (half a year!!)to go til November. If and when any potential starters are added to the roster this could lead some to leave as they see their playing time reduced.

Re: How Many Current Players on Roster Nov 1?
Late jump for Kortright. I’m thinking he’s already got a destination locked down?
Good hustle guy based on viewing from my seat wasn’t a problem. Behind the scenes who knows. Played hurt, hustled and was first guy to dive for a loose ball.
Sorry to see him go.
