Starters
Ike, Rhoden, Weston, Richmond, Harris?
or big: Ike, Samuel, Rhoden, Cale,
im guessing cale is a bench guy. even though he may be good enough to start as a 5th yr senior
A real stat packer! Not afraid to mix it up on the glass either . Basketball player . Tremendous!
Potential Top 3 in the BE as the BE will be Nova and UCONN, then everyone else.
While I expect improvement, right now the frontcourt is terrible.

Maybe I am wrong, but just do not see Weston starting as a freshman, at least at beginning of the season.
I see starters as Ike, Rhoden, Harris, Richmond, then either Cale or Samuel for the 5th spot.
Wouldn't he have four, since this year didn't count toward anyone's eligibility?
I hope those that said that we were going to be bad next year eat their words......you know who you are! Lol
We have two scholarships available, as Cale doesn’t count against normal 13 scholarships limit. Others have said Willard still only plans to use a max of 13 that would give us one more player to get, assuming no one else leaves.
I would think a big man is priority, only transfer big man mentioned to SHU recently I have seen is Matos from New Mexico. Not sure where we stand with him.
Been watching his highlights all afternoon. I cannot WAIT for a sellout crowd in Newark watching him and Jamir ruin other big east backcourts.....
We need a big really bad and if Willard uses the last scholarship a deadly sniper from 3 to complement Harris.
Before we watch them I would hazard a guess that this roster has top 25 potential, but there's a long way to go.
Without any more additions, and sight unseen I can see the Pirates being an upper tier conference team and to start the season top 30-35, with the potential for much more.
I love the pickup of Richmond and Harris but Willard transfers usually take a full year before they are an impact. I know there were a few exceptions but for the most part they contribute in their 2nd year.
With that said I am very happy to welcome them both.

Agree 100%. This is the young man with the most potential on the team. Potential is a dangerous word. There's no one on the roster other than Samuel himself who can keep him from starting. I really think the starting frontcourt will be the best in the conference IF Samuel develops to the level he is capable of. I'm a firm believer being on campus, with the staff, is a completely different off season than last year for this young man to reach his potential at a quicker rate.
I’m not sure but with how things are I stopped concerning myself. Kids like him who have moved once from a place like Cuse are a year at a time IMO.
This. Win. That’s it. Building in the conventional way is dead with the new transfer rules with every kid going to get one free transfer. They sit while developing they’re gone in many cases. Risky.
Crazy to anoint a kid as the next Isaiah. But that is who he reminds me off.
I’m not so sure about Cale or Ike starting for that matter. Willard will play guys that earn it and it starts with defense. Cale is not an elite defender and while Ike came on he is a 20mpg player and struggled against Nova and Creighton. I think playing time is pretty wide open.
And whether the rule is wise or not, it will favor a school like shu while we have a good human like kw running things
No worries. I only do it for my own reading pleasure. Refuse to pay for a publication that goes out of its' way to ignore our Pirates.
As I recall, Richmond was "not happening" as recent as yesterday. LOL!!!
Congrats to Staff -- next Year's Team has some great Athletes
Ike I think yes, it’s Myles who I think can be a spark off the bench.
I could see:
Richmond
Harris
Rhoden
Samuel
Ike
starters. Backed up by
Conway
Cale
Weston
Good question... lol. Rhoden likely
Again... good question. Ngandu if he gets here or next transfer
but... let’s let the summer offseason development happen and see where we are in October.
All I know is with these two additions on top of the freshman the outlook just got white hot better!
Ike has a shot blocking presence no one else on the roster will come close to replicating. So I fully expect him to start and get time.
Cale is the best defender returning. Also, while he is inconsistent offensively, I'd roll the dice on him still being ready to contribute on that end more than any of the freshman and frankly a number of others.
Of course players need to earn minutes, but my expectation is the guys who will "earn" minutes are the ones we expect, not the ones we haven't seen, plus Richmond and Harris who were no doubt brought here with the promise that they will be starting and getting big minutes at the 1/2.
I think we will have hits and misses, like most schools. Plenty of "good human" head coaches are losing kids, and plenty of scum coaches will benefit immensely because of where they coach and how/what they can sell. It sucks for the sport but as long as we get our share fans will be happy.
