Opening Night Lineup - Just for fun

- Start date
Yeah fair to think it did because so recent and right here at UR.
Overall tho it's probably an anomaly both here and other places to do that. It's 1 reason I was a little skeptical Tanner would win that starting spot.
redshirting also allows Robinson/McGlothin 2 years between them and Tanner, with no one in the class above them at their position.
McGlothin yes but not sure I really see Robinson and Tanner competing for minutes or position. I hate to use 3 vs. 4 in positionless basketball! Granted none of us has seen them play in live comp so hard to say.
I possibly have some history of overvaluing incoming players 
, but I still think both of these freshmen will be really good.
I think we're loaded at forward next year with them plus AP and Tanner. plus whichever of our 6'10" guys plays some at big forward.
the key will be if we properly replace the guard production of Hunt and White. Tyne and GW3 are a good start, but the 3 incoming freshmen next year are huge. if they're good early, our roster is built to be strong for a few years.

And, always a good chance at getting a real good guard in the portal. We have a lot of evidence of transfer guards doing great for us and should continue to be an attractive transfer spot.I possibly have some history of overvaluing incoming players

Yes, we will need a good guard from the portal next year. You don't have a roster full of experienced players and let a true freshman PG run the show.
I expect Tyne to run the show next year. coaches are really high on him for this season.
I see the redshirts as a win for both sides. If the players are good with taking a year to develop their game at the college level then it is up to the coach to develop and keep them for future contributions. The player also gets to focus on the first year of college itself which has its own challenges especially depending on one’s high school education experience. Plus, as Section 9 pointed out, you get an extra year of NIL payments so to me you are gaining more than you are losing.
Playing a few garbage time minutes can’t be something that increases a player’s amount of buy-in or future success. It is the practice time you put in and whether you mesh with the coaching philosophy that is going to make you successful. A mid-major like UR is rarely going to land an impact freshman.

this is why I included them both - I have never seen them play so have no idea how one or the other or both might play.
Probably not the thread for this but how did Nescovic end up at Dartmouth? He looked really good last night and it's not like Dartmouth is any sort of regular winner in the Ivy.
Now we’re getting personal
since Hanover NH is damn nice - in the spring of '92, Section 9 from SW GA was all set on going to an Ivy League school—specifically to be a mean Dartmouth Green —ready to pay the then-insane tuition of $18K (which, for perspective, was half of what we paid last year for my daughter's senior year at St. Catherine’s). Thankfully, with some wise guidance from my now 85-year-old mother (who was at the game last night), I changed my mind and took a scholarship to Richmond, where my grandfather also went in the mid-1920s. No regrets—it’s been the right choice, especially as I now sit on my patio in one of Richmond’s oldest neighborhoods, just an 8-minute drive from the RC.

Why not? Obv the elite known ones w all the recruiting stars r going high major but it’s all relative. I’d think every level - high mid or low major - has about the same chances to land. At highest level u may just know going in during recruiting who it will be while other levels not as certain. Idk what your definition of impact is either. To me u can be that 3rd - 6th guy. And we don’t seem to get with same frequency as other programs. Yeah in a major rebuild year we’ve seen a couple but it’s not like we are really good year after year we often underperform so there should be opportunity here.
Just my own observation. We know Mooney goes through these recruiting ruts. & the last few years was there 4 the taking to get guys out of hs too bc the big boys were paying less attention & in some cases using less ships due to transfer portal.
Btw I think my fav impact frosh was Charles Stephens. Oh what could have been. I think his boy Marques Cunningham was unhappy & got in his head.
Interestingly enough saw Dusan play once his final year in prep. Did not know who he was but was surprised to find out did not have any p6 offers. Probably not quite quick or bouncy enough, but was very polished even at that time.
Since we went ahead and ditched any notion of an at large I would like to see lineup of:
Hunt, GW3, McGlothin, JRob, Walz. Maybe Soulis as starter when has his sea legs. B.Artis AND Tyne scrap for guard minutes. Glou heavy in there. Beagle and Walz split based on performance. Soulis and Jrob same at 4.

Ok now want to see Hunt, White, either Nesko or Glou, Robinson and Soulis.
GW3 and McGlothin getting a chance. Walz and Beagle earn minutes. May as well try to build for a10 tourney.

Another reality is that Brandon Jennings, St Chris grad, is thriving it would seem at VCU especially defensively. While not starting, playing 20+ min a game partly because Zeb Jackson is injured but clearly a good recruit by them. I could easily see Brandon staying around VCU through graduation given his mother has multiple degrees from VCU etc.

Not only build, but this could actually be a better lineup for us by game 1 of A-10 play. I don't think starting Tyne and Tanner with Hunt will ever work. I hope I am wrong, but Tanner looks a lot like Noyes did, and I will leave it at that. Tyne was 1-5 from 3 and at some point we might have to say he is just not a good 3 point guy, and at his size, he really needs to be, especially starting with Hunt.
