Ryan Soulis - 2023 Signee
- Thread starter SFspidur
- Start date
How long have you been a fan?
Greg Carter
Let me introduce myself to.................myself.
Ryan looks smooth like straight out of the blender Neal put him in in multiple clips there.
Keep in mind these were Quinn highlights. My guess would be they could also find highlights of Soulis preventing Quinn from scoring if they wanted to show that. And, seems pretty ridiculous to talk about a kid who has never played a minute of college ball being "abused" by a 7 footer with 4 years of college experience, especially on a Quinn highlight package.

I have been a Spider fan since I first started school in 1975, I graduated in 1978.
Agree, I am of the opinion that we hide Ryan as much as possible, the P6 poachers will show up too soon.
Let's go Ryan, its a process, get a little better each day. Make Neil work hard, you'll both be better!
Do you deny he was being abused by Quinn there? I’d bet money Ryan would freely admit it on those plays. His sheepish grin is plainly visible.
It’s not a knock…it’s completely expected that a guy with Neal’s experience in general and in our system would do that to a guy who just set foot on campus. And yes, of course they were Neal highlights and don’t tell the whole story.
But by the same token, it’s also why I think people who believe Ryan will be a major contributor this season need to slow their roll. He may certainly get there, but it’s going to take time.
For all who think Mooney should go, and I’m not totally in his camp, but feel that posting
the Fire Mooney billboard is childish as a person’s profile picture is disrespectful of a hard working coach,
even if you don’t like the results.
And here’s a question. Would another coach be able to bring in players that are 3,4 or 5 star rated
to our program? Not likely.

lol, Quinn took Soulis to school, as he should! and that's a good thing.
no faster way to learn than to go up against a guy who's way ahead of you.
he got thrown right in the deep end. Quinn's a tough cover.

Annap,
I have no illusions as to what star players we get or anyone else and really don’t care. I want a coach who recognizes the strengths and weaknesses of his players and uses the best o, d and game strategy to make use of the strengths and is able to cover the weaknesses. I want to see the team hit the schedule running and not lose games they are expected to win. I want to see players and the team improve over the season. I want to see crisp passes and high percentage free throw shooting. I want to see tough fundamental individual defense. Crisp passes, high percentage free throws and tough fundamental individual do not require stars. We don’t have that with the current coaching staff.

Been watching quite a bit of college football last two evenings and Im throwing the flag for targeting here
. I think I am the only one on record calling for immediate production. AND, my call for it is based on what our highest ceiling team IMO would be, not what I necessarily expect.
And should have also put the /s after my targeting comment. Though I will be happy to be proven right on my Soulis A10 ROY Island 🤣🤣🤣🤣
First, it is interesting how these topics diverge. I don’t really want to post this under a specific 2023 signee thread, but don’t want to create a new thread either.
I agree with the 2 things above in tandem and the big issue with last year was that nothing came together and in addition UR ended up with hardly anything to build on. Is it likely that the current staff gets all the pieces together this year? Unfortunately, I think the answer is no and then we are back to what foundation has been established for next year. So once again, the Spiders are 2-3 years out from what everyone on the Forum would agree is a successful season. I am simply hoping a foundation is built and that all depends on if the staff landed “the right guys”.

Watching the practices , I think they are the same thing Mooney wants.
great follow, Soulis!
Walz ... run a lap for letting that happen.

He was dressed with no boot last Saturday, so i presume he’s available if needed. I suspect they’re in no rush to get him back out there.

I certainly hope he had no boot during his 2 minutes of playing time last Saturday…
Thanks guys. With Walz playing solid to good I can see this. Good to hear he appears healthy.
I did not realize that he played Saturday. Great to hear.
Since we are already in plan for A10 tourney mode apparently, hopefully he can gain some minutes

Not sure if anyone else has brought this up. I see he’s still in street clothes today. Thoughts on whether he will be able to get a medical redshirt with his foot injury?
We discussed in one of the threads last week. It certainly looks like they're going to the medical redshirt route with him. No reason to bring him back now.
it's enjoyable reading through these preseason threads!
we're having a fun season. there were a lot of doom and gloom posts.
the videos of Ryan look great. get the redshirt, get healthy, and hopefully we get 4 really good years from him.

Any updates on Soulis? I probably missed something somewhere along the line, but was he practicing with the team at the end of the season? Fully healthy?
A medical redshirt won’t be in question with Soulis.
we know per his bio he hurt his right foot twice ... 1st vs VMI on 11/6/23.
he came back and played VERY briefly in 2 games 12/2 and 12/9.
then hurt his foot again in practice on 12/20/23 and didn't play again.
we're in April. that's a really long time to be in a boot unless he hurt it again or had surgery.

Correct. I can’t find any evidence of him being in a boot since mid-January, including at the NIT game, so I think either urfan1 is mistaken or Soulis has needed another boot-inducing procedure since the end of the season.
