Roster 25-26

Guards - Tyne , David Thomas, Will Johnston, Kirby Mooney, Argabright, Harper,

Forwards - Robinson, Daughtry, AP, Tanner, McGlothin, Richardson

Center - Walz , Beagle

Feeling like this is a more competitive roster if stay healthy. Not saying top of the A10, but more competitive. Guards - GW3 never got a chance, White was always gimpy when he played, and Dlo was solid but injured early. I think both Johnston and Thomas can contribute a lot more. Johnston looks pretty decent and very durable - which would be great.
Forwards - Lose Dusan, add Daughtry. Though not as flashy as Dusan, I am very hopeful Daughtry is just a better all around player and can bring a little toughness. No idea from highlights only, but have to be hopeful here. If JRob or McGlothin can bring something I think will be better. And as down on AP, I do think he has potential to take a jump, essentially has not played competitive real games for a few years before last. Hope Tanner realizes he needs to take a step up to stay on floor.

Centers - Hopefully something clicks for Walz and/or Beagle. Walz looked really good at times, but it always seems to be when it doesn't matter. Need him to be a force from day 1. Walk the walk, I no longer care that you sound good in interviews. Period. Or that you take responsibility when your head coach won't. Show it on the court!

Need one more player. I think a Dji clone would be nice.

I said the same thing last year... and saying it again. Unless CM is going to change his offense (which he thought about last year but didn't per newspaper article) we need a quality big man as Walz and Beagle are not the answer.
I am excited. He put up 25 points in 20 minutes against Ohio State last year.

I agree with prior comments shared here that while I agree with that notion, there are very few quality big men as transfers and likely won’t be able to land a top tier one. Plus we have Walz and Beagle so no one is going to come here to be the 3rd guy. We’ll need to get 1-2 big men after next season. I think Walz/Beagle will be okay enough at the 5 spot for us. Jaden fits the need at the 4. I think Johnson is a starter at the 3 for us. I like Tyne but not as main PG. Not sure if it’s too late, but we need to find our Jordan King this year.

Excellent pick up! Welcome to Spider Nation Jaden! Let’s go get a stud PG and we might be back in business.

Roster 25-26

Now with two spots available, I think getting Daughtry is a must, I was a little bored and saw that both Tyne and Collin Tanner both follow Daughtry on Instagram and Will Gipe recently followed him on X, this could mean nothing but i would assume this means he was on campus within the past couple days and this could be a good sign. Again this could mean nothing but we’ll see.
Did some additional sleuthing and saw JOC follows Daughtry on Twitter. Don’t know how many non-UR folks JOC follows but hopefully this is a promising sign. I think will make an instant impact and be a day one starter for us.
