We aren’t involved. He is 5’ 11”. SG aren’t 5’ 11”. We have our PG for the next three years.

Good move for him. 5’11” PG. Best school that was pursuing him.

Re: 19 MA PG Noah Fernandes (Wichita State Commit)
This is a kid I would have loved to have come to Rhody. He grew up in Mass. He ended up going to Wichita State. In what little playing time he has got in his first 10 games, he has struggled. His dad posted this yesterday. Everyone sees things differently.

He also missed about 8 weeks of practice due to an injury which puts him in a much different situation.Billyboy78 wrote: ↑4 years ago This is a kid I would have loved to have come to Rhody.

With all these transfers, I’m less concerned about the churn we may face. We will be just fine.

Not sure how I feel about this one. Neither big, nor quick nor a great shooter.
Unless we are losing someone, I just don't understand it.

Re: 19 MA PG Noah Fernandes (Wichita State Commit)
He looked quick and was a good shooter when I saw him play 2 years ago. Not big, but probably 3 inches taller than Fatts, and he's a pest on defense, similar to Fatts.rhodyblue12 wrote: ↑4 years ago Not sure how I feel about this one. Neither big, nor quick nor a great shooter.

Re: 19 MA PG Noah Fernandes (Wichita State Commit)
The next 4 weeks is pivotal.
We need at least one big and a shooter.
And those need to be the type good enough to contribute right away. Not easy to do for us, but it's necessary imo.
No projects please.
If we sign 2 and leave one opening, that's probably OK due to the number of talented transfers that will be available.
Berry and either of our top 2 big man targets. We get them, and that's good.
Fernandes might be good, but I think we have more pressing needs at other positions.
Center and SG......duh.....great athletes who can't shoot and don't have good BB IQ we don't need either.

If I had to predict, I'd say UMass. I'm pretty sure he played for Bergeron.

I have no idea how this will work out but I don’t think they’d contact the player, which they have done, if there’s 0 interes

Re: 19 MA PG Noah Fernandes (Wichita State Commit)
UMass offered Fernandes in high school, as did Rhode Island, Fordham, DePaul, East Carolina, St. Louis and St. Bonaventure. He signed with Wichita State in Nov. 2018.
Next season, Fernandes will be one of seven UMass players from Woodstock Academy, where assistant coach Tony Bergeron coached before joining head coach Matt McCall’s staff. He’ll join rising sophomores Preston Santos, T.J. Weeks and Tre Mitchell and rising junior Dibaji Walker in Amherst.
Guard Cairo McCrory and forward Dyondre Dominguez have also signed with the Minutemen.

As soon as the cops catch up with Shoeshine Boy for fencing a stolen truckload of cigarettes most of these kids will probably transfer. Hopefully that happens before next school year starts.

Re: 19 MA PG Noah Fernandes (Wichita State Commit)
Keon Clergeot and Freshmen CJ Jackson transferring UMASS as they see their PT reducing with the addition of Noah Fernandes. Opens up two more slots.
UMASS was going hard after Femi Odukale, ranked 7th New England and #1 in MASS but PITT prevailed, then dominoes fell again with Trey Mcgowens moving out from PITT.

Re: 19 MA PG Noah Fernandes (Wichita State - Transfer to UMass)
We need a new pipeline somewhere.
I know that Cox and staff are working behind the scenes...but we need some commits and soon.
I would have thought we would have had at least one of our top targets commit by now.

People upset kids aren’t committing to a school sight unseen? Really?
There are bigger fish to fry for some than committing to a school and staff right now. Let’s concern ourselves with what really matters.

Well Akeem and Berry have visited here, and can't visit anywhere else until the signing period starts.
Might as well commit to us now lol.
Yes there are much bigger issues for sure.

Cox passed on him twice from what I hear. He and Ish would make a formidable backcourt if Archie will take a grad assistant.

I don’t see why he would come here.
Fits the profile of a kid who can play up a level and try to pick a Tourney possible program for his last year.

Re: 19 MA PG Noah Fernandes
During the Vermont game yesterday, the announcers mentioned that Ayo-Faleri wears number 0 for UVM because that’s how many offers he had going into his senior year. Cox and his keen eye for talent got him.

I'm starting to wonder about Cox's keen eye. I suspect he has "eyes on the ground" for him, and it's not actually he who evaluates the talent.
But still, sure, great story on Ayo-Faleri.
