Orangeville Prep. Friends with Foumena. Followed by Archie and Duane.

6’9 stretch 4

I think this will be a URI commitment out of the blue tonight.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 7:44 am**

Just watched some highlights. Stretch 4 who can shoot and pass very well. Great size and really good footwork. The type of player you see in a Davidson uniform. Hope we get him!

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 8:17 am**

Looks scrappy and hard nosed.

Like a hypothetical 6'9" rangy version of Dustin Hellenga.

Awesome to see the roster filled out this way.....nothing, nothing, nothing, boom...signage.
Must frustrate the bejeepers out of the 'insider' crowd, so at least there's that

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 8:19 am**

It’s still just a guess at this point, but it follows a very similar trend to the last two signings.

Under the radar stretch 4 from Canada makes a lot of sense right now.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 8:22 am**

I’m really liking these out of the blue recruitments, regardless if he comes here or not. We could use a big man that can shoot threes.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 8:53 am**

Not that I have a clue but how refreshing that Archie is trying to get guys w an emphasis of shooting and scoring the ball - love it - no doubt !

A 6'9 sniper? YES PLEASE

Watched some of their games. He and Foumena play well together.

Rory's shot is beautiful. He passes the ball well but looks very slow.. He'll need time

I love the way Foumena battles. He's going to instantly be a fan favorite.

That's what he kept preaching at the season ticket holder event. Rory without question fits what Archie is looking for. Let's hope we get some great news today!!

He shoots FT's at 90+%. The Ryan Center crowd would love him!

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 9:29 am**

Stretch four who can shoot yes please

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 9:53 am**

Love it. So many good players out there. Archie going to work!

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 10:03 am**

Did he have any offers?

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 11:08 am**

How many leafs?

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 12:25 pm**

If we get this kid, along with what we already have and are likely to get more....

we will be good sooner than later.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 12:32 pm**

No matter how good these kids are banking on FR production in the A10 is fools gold. IMO we still need a couple transfers to have moderate expectations for next season. All good with me I’m in it for the long haul with Archie.

Agreed we’ve made this mistake before but it was with a guy who really didn’t know how to coach, just worried about the incoming freshman’s defensive abilities

I think that’s the point though. Archie has stated on numerous occasions this isn’t a quick fix.

He’s bringing in his 3-4 year guys.

He has veterans in Malik, Carey, and Ish.

Bringing in a bunch of veterans to take all the minutes isn’t going to help building a long term vision

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 12:39 pm**

I would think if we get this player or another freshman the last few spots would be filled with upperclassmen, since that would be 4 incoming freshmen.

He needs development on his things other than shooting. I think this is a player Archie sees with great potential to develop over a few years. Strength & Conditioning, footwork, defense. Some impact in year 1 because of shooting but not much.

Others recruiting him.

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 12:57 pm**

Agree with all above, but this is the type of player (legit stretch 4) that we have been missing.
If it takes a year for him to develop, all good.

Yes, I don't expect a lot of immediate success with a bunch of 1st year players.

With that said Archie will probably bring in a few veteran to give us some more experience.

BAR, as we discussed earlier wouldn't mind seeing 1 or 2 grad transfers mixed in.

But it is hard not to be excited for our future, with some of these recruits he is bringing in.

And these are all late signees. I'm even more excited to see who we can bring in from the '23 class in November.

Excellent thread. Thanks, 104.

Exciting times! Love following the recruiting threads.

If he was athletic with good footwork and could defend, he'd be playing for Duke with how he shoots the ball. He does more than shoot from watching as much tape as I could the last few hours. I love the way he passes. He and Fomunea play a great high low game together. He has a better post-game than I expected. Nice touch around the hoop. Has a decent hook shot.

I hope he's coming to Rhody!

I second the desire for 1-2 transfers in the front court, could be very painful with an all freshman front court.

Agreed. Definitely need some experience, hopefully we land David N'Guessan from Virginia Tech.

You also were saying we’d be masked thru the end of time so there’s that.

I went to the dermatologist Tuesday and I had to wear a mask.

Not a 4* and has shit schools recruiting him, don’t want the kid.

(I’m mocking other posters, I literally have zero opinion on recruits anymore.)

He said we’d have to wear mask for AT LEAST the next three seasons at The Ryan Center, and went so far to argue with me he wanted to make a bet I believe? I don’t bet so I didn’t take it, wish someone else stepped in for me with that one!

Well, he's an idiot, I guess. He still has to wear one to doc office, dentist, and lab, and....I'll still put a sixer out there on the opening of this season. (But, you can just pm me instead of clogging up the thread with talk of him and the you know what?
