From his Richmond bio
Only one or two of our other players could get a similar offer list. If he can play defense well enough to be offered by SEC, ACC, and Big 12 schools, he can be fine in the A10.
While there is a legitimate argument for Bigelow or perhaps others, I think Roche fits perfectly in our starting lineup. He, Burton, and Quinn provide lots of offense. Gustavson will defend the other team's best player, and won't be counted on to take many shots in part due to Roche's presence in the lineup.
- offered by Missouri, Pittsburgh, Kansas State, St. Bonaventure, and San Diego
- Southern Conference Rookie of the Year
- 110 three-pointers ranked ninth in Division I and first among freshmen
- Ranked third in Southern Conference and 39th in Division I in three-point FG pct, at 39.7
