Re: 22-23 Starting Five
Miller said he will be recruiting into September for this years team.
Just grabbed a potential starter yesterday
In past years, I’d expect adds to the roster in May/June to be roster filler players for practice and possible upside potential.
This year with Miller and with the easy transfer rules the potential of landing starters in May/June is very possible.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
IMO Malik is more of a 4 than a 3 in terms of build and skill set. And I’m guessing he’s a starter. So I think we are looking for a big and another wing scorer.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
Agree it’s too early but I think Malik and Freeman are nailed on starters at this point and depending how the final few spots are filled I think it’s pretty likely that Leggett is a starter for game 1 as well.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
Too early for serious predictions but never too early for some fun. Based on what we have now I predict,
Freeman, Carey, Leggett, Malik and Samb. Slight nod to the experienced guys for the opening night but could change by game 3 or 4 with Weston or Hutchinson sliding in over Carey.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
I don't think Weston came here to come off the bench. 6'6 guard gives us a lot of options - I'd imagine he's a starter in more of a wing/combo guard compared to Malik playing more of a forward role.Big Rhody Guy wrote: ↑2 years ago Too early for serious predictions but never too early for some fun.

We'll play very small for sure. Not bad in todays game.

He was listed at 6'5" (SH roster) and is a tweener CG/SF.
I don't think Archie guarantees anybody a starting role, must be earned.
I really like Weston's potential, but let's face it, he has hardly played since his junior year of HS.
Starting A10 is a big leap forward.
There is still some injury question marks regarding him, so let's wait and see how he is able to perform first.
Archie may indeed end up starting him, but that talk is a little premature right now.
Carey was a top 50, without injury issues, how does he fit in the equation right now?
Starting a small team usually only works if you have some proven knockdown shooters.
Not sure I can say that about us now.
Like I said several times, no big expectations this season.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
I could see a scenario in which Carey is a starter for the non-conference portion while they ease Weston back in, but by conference play I think Weston will be starting.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
Not crazy about it, we will struggle in A10 with that 5.
I like Bray
Ish took a step back last season, I like his aggressiveness, jury is out on him.
Weston has hardly played since his HS junior year, and has injury issues, wait and see on him.
I think Martin will be overpowered in the A10 at the 4.
Lots of huge question marks for this season.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
No chance of Martin being the 4. This would make for a very weak roster. I know that next year isn’t the goal, but hopefully some experienced bigs will be the next transfers to URIJersey77 wrote: ↑2 years agoNot crazy about it, we will struggle in A10 with that 5.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
No idea how you came to this conclusion. Martin has played plenty of 4. This isn’t the NBA, a 6’6” forward at the 4 is very common.

I love his motor/character, and experience but he will struggle if he plays the 4 all season.

But he does play bigger than that.
Although consistently playing the 4 would take it's toll on him.

Martin was becoming our best player by the end of last season.
Archie had mentioned how well Carey was practicing and shooting.
Initially I wouldn't be surprised to see Bray, Carey, and Martin all start.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
I think Martin gives Archie good flexibility in being able to play the 3 and 4. I think match up’s each game will govern Archie’s plan with Martin.

If David Nguessan comes would he be starter worthy? He played all 36 games for VaTech as a reserve.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
I'll bite and also have some fun with this.
1-Braylon Freeman
2-Anthony Harris
3-Brandon Weston
4-David N' Guessan
5-Jeremy Foumena
But.....
Martin will probably start at the three with Brandon playing the two.
Ish and Carey will see lots of time.
Stewart, Samb, N'guessan and Foumena will be a four headed monster- just rotate them in.
Hutch will red-shirt.
Bassy ?? If we get Harris than he plays the back up point when Ish plays the two. No room for Bassy.
But if Iggy says Harris is most likely not coming I believe him.
If N'Guessan comes I agree with the person who said get the best available player. Hopefully Harris.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
Weston says he's 6'6" in his Twitter replies, so maybe he'll play the 4. I kind of suspect that Archie is going to default to playing someone small at the 4 and 5, vs. the old Baron trick of giving a guy minutes just because he's close to 7-foot. If you're going to get killed on defense either way, might as well go with the player who might present a match-up issue on offense.
Samb is kind of the great unknown. Normally, I'd be more pessimistic about a guy going from logging 0 minutes to being a contributor, but he was legitimately blocked by three more talented players last year. (Like if Tres Berry was still on this roster, I wouldn't be bullish on him, given that he couldn't get minutes last year when URI was floundering for decent wing play.) I've got no clue if he'll start, but the fact that he hasn't transferred out suggests to me that Archie at least thinks he can log some minutes here and there. Hell, any coach can probably find some use for 6'8", 210 here and there.

I would be shocked if we don't play the vast majority of our minutes with 4 guard/wings players. Unless we sign 2 more immediate high impact big men between now and the season.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
So you feel good with Martin at the four? A small 4 that doesn’t have an outside shot? He is not a power forward even in todays college basketball. I like Martin and loved his brother, but to me he is more of a player with experience that is a role player. I kind of feel that way on almost all the players that are returning from last years team.KingstonLane wrote: ↑2 years agoNo idea how you came to this conclusion. Martin has played plenty of 4.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
I’d be happy with Martin being at the 4 next year. I dont know why people think that wouldn’t be good. For example look some of the rest of the teams in the A-10 last year
1. Davidson - Sam Mennenga (6’9”)
2. Dayton - Toumani Camara (6’ 8”)
3. VCU - Vince Williams (6’6”)
4. St. Bona - Jalen Adaway (6’5”)
5. Saint Louis - Jordan Nesbitt (6’6”)
6. Richmond - Nathan Cayo (6’7”)
7. GW - Quadry Samuels (6’9”)
4/7 of the top teams used someone at the 6’7” or lower so I don’t get what the fuss is, we do need an impact big but I believe Malik will be fine at the 4
1. Davidson - Sam Mennenga (6’9”)
2. Dayton - Toumani Camara (6’ 8”)
3. VCU - Vince Williams (6’6”)
4. St. Bona - Jalen Adaway (6’5”)
5. Saint Louis - Jordan Nesbitt (6’6”)

4/7 of the top teams used someone at the 6’7” or lower so I don’t get what the fuss is, we do need an impact big but I believe Malik will be fine at the 4

You have to understand how the teams are constructed.Dino611 wrote: ↑2 years ago I’d be happy with Martin being at the 4 next year. I dont know why people think that wouldn’t be good. For example look some of the rest of the teams in the A-10 last year

The Bonnies 4 guard lineup worked because they had a dominant big/rim protector in Osun.
VCU had a 4 big rotation of Ward/DeLoach/Levi/Brown-Jones
SLU had a dominant big in Okoro and Linssen was part of the rotation.
Richmond also had Golden/Burton/and Cayo upfront, A very good frontcourt with some size and talent.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
All the players mentioned will get minutes. How well they perform will determine the minutes they get. I'm surprised Rory isn't getting more Rhody love. I know Bassey will work his a$$ off in practice.

Check his thread. I've talked about how much I like Rory's game and added some videos.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
I do like Carey as the 6th man....though I also liked Cuttino Mobley as 6th man too so what do I know.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
As of right now, you have to play your best players. Similar to when Dan started Stan at the 4. Malik is a seasoned vet. Great defender who will battle with guys bigger than he is. He can play the 4 if need be. It's not ideal but until we land a forward that's ready this is how I see it.
1. Bray
2. Ish
3. Weston
4. Malik
5. Foumena
6th- Carey
7th- Thomas
8th- Samb
9th- Rory
10th- Hutch
1. Bray
2. Ish
3. Weston
4. Malik
5. Foumena
6th- Carey
7th- Thomas
8th- Samb
9th- Rory
10th- Hutch
