If he didn’t recruit these 3 guards then Leggett, Thomas and Carey would be the starting guards for the upcoming season.
Sheppard, El-Amin and Leggett disappointed last year based on the preseason expectations. Passes tended to be soft and lazy.
We will see but if this team is to be Top 3 in conference and challenge for a Bid then it’s going to happen because of Weston, Harris and Freeman playing at close to All Conference levels plus decent frontcourt production from Martin, Foumina, Stewart and others.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
I see Harris, Weston and Freeman all battling for the 3 starting guard spots. Freeman came from a bad team so he got lots of minutes. Any or all of the 3 could challenge for All A10. Last year nobody on the team challenged for All A10 or All Rookie.

I think most would agree that Bray, Weston, and Ant would all have to play a major role for this program to have success "in the near future".ramster wrote: ↑2 years agoMiller recruited potential All Conference Guards in Harris, Weston and Freeman.DeanDome88 wrote: ↑2 years agoI expect Bray to be good for Rhody but can not cosign with the commentators on here who think all of our returning players are limited to being bench pieces at best on a good team.

In addition we need to get a solid contribution from our young frontcourt.
But I think it is asking too much for all these new pieces to mesh perfectly this season and for these transfers to immediately live up to the hype.
We would have to leap over some very strong A10 teams to finish top 3 conference and be part of the NCAAT discussion.
I don't think that will happen this year.
I hope I eat my words about 22-23, but I doubt it.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
Under promise, over deliver. I hope.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall in one of Archie’s meetings with the staff to hear their thoughts on where they figure they stack versus the rest of the A10.
Knowing the way they operate though, they probably have the office swept for bugs and have fly swatters at the ready. Stealth staff

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
It sure seems like the A-10 should be strong next year, but the A-10 seems to struggle to live up to the hype lately ya know? Since our reign ended when Dan left the entire league hasn't done shit in the non-conference. So it may not be that difficult to be near the top if teams continue to fall on their face instead of meeting expectations. Of course I hope our top teams deliver. Makes it better for us for obvious reasons.Jersey77 wrote: ↑2 years agoI think most would agree that Bray, Weston, and Ant would all have to play a major role for this program to have success "in the near future".ramster wrote: ↑2 years agoMiller recruited potential All Conference Guards in Harris, Weston and Freeman.DeanDome88 wrote: ↑2 years ago

We easily have the talent at guard to compete. Bray is already an all conference player. We have 3 4 star level talented guards with some solid complimentary pieces around them. As we know, you can kick people's ass in the A-10 with 4 star guards. Not a lot of teams in this league get athletes like that.

Bray is not already an all-conference guard.
He was on the freshmen team along with 3 other guards: Nunn, Smith, and Reynolds.
As much as I like the additions of Weston and Harris, they still need to prove themselves on the court.
Last season the top 3 A10 teams all had dominant bigs: Davidson, Richmond, and Dayton.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
Yea, I sort of compare Weston and Harris to Carey, and to a lesser extent, the twins.
All of them highly ranked coming out of high school with minimal college production.
Harris seems to have had off the court issues at UNC as well, just like the twins did at Maryland.
I might of missed it, but I haven't seen anyone mention Koch writing about Harris' off the court issues, whatever those may be.
I'm in a wait and see approach with those two, strictly because we've been burned too many times.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
I'd compare them more to a Stan Robinson or Kuran. Weston is a highly ranked player like Kuran. Ant had a better role his freshman year like Stan did at Indiana. Like Dan, Archie has proven that he has a much better eye for talent over Cox. Cox allowed the Twins to do whatever the hell they wanted. Archie pushed them out.Rhody15 wrote: ↑2 years ago Yea, I sort of compare Weston and Harris to Carey, and to a lesser extent, the twins.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
As odd as this might sound - The fact that DiSano is doing a prominent interview with him now makes me lean more toward "yes," and if he's not starting, maybe first or second guy off the bench. It's the off-season, so everyone is claiming to be in the best shape of their career and learning so much from the previous season, but I have to think Ish is fairly confident in his spot if he's even agreeing to do an interview.steveystuds06 wrote: ↑1 year ago https://www.yurview.com/regions/new-eng ... -for-sure/

Harris is still radio silent on social media and he's unmentioned in that interview, which makes me think he's not practicing yet. So, the serious challengers for playing time at 1, 2 and 3 to me, in the rough order I'd have them, would be Freeman, Martin, Weston, Carey and Leggett (about equal), big gap, Hutchinson and Thomas. I'd also assume that some of the bigger / stouter wings (Carey, Harris, Weston) could see time at the 4 in small ball lineups. (Weston in particularly looks to be a pretty stout 200.) It also wouldn't surprise me if our backup PG is not Thomas, and instead, Archie chooses to play two SGs that pass well, and the guy with the less aggressive defender starts the offense.

One thing for sure, I think our starting 5 will change as the season goes along.
Also players dealing with previous and current injury issues and a large part of our roster having very limited div. 1 playing time.
Anthony Harris in his 3 years at UNC only played in 35 games, averaging 11 minutes.
Still hasn't practiced 1 minute with his new team.
Also surprised that after all his time at UNC, he still has academic issues that needed to be cleared up.
A total guess, but I wouldn't be shocked to initially see: Bray, Ish, Carey, Martin, Foumena/Bilau.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
I enjoyed that interview. Thanks, Stevey. We are fortunate to have Chris covering the team.
Put me in the starting column. I am leaning towards him starting to begin the year.
That’s my vote today. Can we count this as the primary and can we vote again before the season starts?
A few things stood out for me from the interview: Shooting drills were fast; They will play fast but under control.
Both good things, I believe.

Like Dan, Archie likes to play fast. There's a lot of guys where you're not sure how much separation there is between them. I could see this working like a hockey team and just near straight line changes.
Bray/Carey/Weston/Tchikou/Bilau, Ish/Harris/Martin/Stewart/Foumena. If you're trying to balance your units out.
Bray/Harris/Weston/Martin/Tchikou or Bilau if you're going for a true starting rotation.
Honestly, you could make a case for just about anyone to play deep minutes most positions 2-5. I think Bray is the only solid PG.
PG - Bray/Harris/Ish/Bassy
SG - Harris/Weston/Carey/Ish/Hutch
3 - Weston/Martin/Carey/Hutch/Stewart
4 - Martin/Stewart/Hutch/Bilau/Tchikou/Samb/
5 - Tchikou/Foumena/Bilau/Samb
And you could mix and match a lot more into those lineups. Lot of length up and down the roster. Lot of shooting up and down the roster. Going to be fun to watch no matter who's out there when the ball is tipped. I think we'll be running a rotation of 10-12 to be honest. Archie likes to play fast, and I don't think there's too much separation between the guys not named Bray, Harris, or Weston.

All we really know is Bray is going to start.
I think if Harris and Weston start immediately over Carey and Ish it bodes well for us. That'll mean they are actualizing their talent right away.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
I think Bray is the only locked in starter. He's an all conference caliber PG on a team that really needed that last year. I would lock him in.
I think the other 4 spots are up for grabs- but would guess Malik as a veteran and program guy is close to being a lock starter as well. Probably at the 4 IMO with Archie opting to go with 3 true ball handlers in the back court. I think the 2,3 and 5 are completely up for grabs with Carey and Ish maybe walking into the 1st practice with the opportunity to win the job but certainly not a fait accompli.
I think the Harris situation is sketchy and it's odd he hasn't set foot on campus yet. Something gotta be up there. Could that be why we are loading up on guards for 23?

Many good points from everyone above. Like others have stated, I think Archie will be very interchangeable with lineups - at least early in the season. But, it could continue on throughout the season because of our high intensity, fast pace of play.

I hope you guys are right. Since Rhody has let me down most of my life, I assume the worst. In my head, I worry that he hasn't been on campus once. He's had issues with grades for a couple of years. We are currently 2 ships over, which means we are losing at least 2 players. Until I see him on campus, I will be a little worried.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
But there is a new Head Coach in town. SHouldn't that allow you to forget about how Rhody had let you down most of your life? At least for Year 1? or at least until the 1st game is played?

Harris having issues with grades has nothing to do with how I feel about Archie Miller. I'm worried that the grades are preventing him from playing.

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
I agree with those who say Bray is a lock to start and think Malik will also start not certain of the other 3
I’m not to concerned about Ant I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t show up to campus

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
Start the year with
Bray
Carey
Ish
Malik
Bilua
eventually to be taken over by
Bray
Carey
Harris/Weston
Tchikou
Foumena
6th- whoever doesn't start between Weston/Harris
Malik, Ish, Bilua in rotation
Hutch and Rory probably get good chances during conference play but would imagine minutes are tougher to come by as the season progresses
Really excited about our freshman class, hope to see them a lot if they can earn the playing time

He's an all conference caliber PG on a team that really needed that last year. I would lock him in.
I think the other 4 spots are up for grabs- but would guess Malik as a veteran and program guy is close to being a lock starter as well. Probably at the 4 IMO with Archie opting to go with 3 true ball handlers in the back court. I think the 2,3 and 5 are completely up for grabs with Carey and Ish maybe walking into the 1st practice with the opportunity to win the job but certainly not a fait accompli.
I think the Harris situation is sketchy and it's odd he hasn't set foot on campus yet. Something gotta be up there. Could that be why we are loading up on guards for 23?

Hope we have game programs with individual pictures of all players, maybe even for the B/W scrimmage.

I will always be shocked with athletes having grades that prevent them from playing.steveystuds06 wrote: ↑1 year agoHarris having issues with grades has nothing to do with how I feel about Archie Miller. I'm worried that the grades are preventing him from playing.
You have mandatory study halls, tutors, academic advisors, etc.
It should be almost impossible to have shitty grades as an athlete.
Go Rhody

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
If someone voices an opinion on something that isn’t rosy are they going to be called “scared Rhody fans” lol. Is that the new norm?
Every player on our roster (along with every other roster in America) attended summer sessions. If someone didn’t then obv there is an issue. Will it be dealt with and not prevent Ant from attending…sure it could. But to ignore it as a concern means you don’t know how this stuff works.
Remember when Sheppard wasn’t working out but was on the roster…and then eventually was ruled ineligible. They are called red flags for a reason.
And since we now need a disclaimer to have an observation here this in no way comes from a sky is falling/we’re doomed disposition. Archie will win here it’s not an IF it’s just a WHEN. Just like with Dan.

I don’t think you get called anything. You just “get punched in the face” as the title of the thread said

Re: 22-23 Starting Five
You’re also an ingrate who doesn’t trust Archie, don’t forget that part.bigappleram wrote: ↑1 year ago If someone voices an opinion on something that isn’t rosy are they going to be called “scared Rhody fans” lol. Is that the new norm?
I think it’s more than appropriate to question what exactly Harris has been doing. He hasn’t played in a real game since early January when he left the team and wasn’t in a position academically to be on campus for either summer session. I still expect him to be in Kingston until someone tells me he’s not, but it’s unfortunate for him and the team that he hasn’t been a part of it yet.
As for the starting line-up, I will be encouraged if more than one big shows enough to make them start two. Until then, I think they go small-ish with four guards.
