Doing Rhody MBB Recruiting Over - Who Would be Replaced?
With the expected 2017-2018 Rhode Island MBB roster eight short months away from playing again, there are a lot of theories and hypothetical scenarios that can surround this group of athletes. I for one wonder who would keep or lose their spot on the roster, based on the knowledge of the coaching staff.
E.C. Matthews: Keep
Reasoning - Self-explanatory
Jared Terrell: Keep
Reasoning - Self-explanatory
Jarvis Garrett: Keep
Reasoning - The heart and soul of this team
Jeff Dowtin: Keep
Reasoning - The team's floor general for the next three seasons has shown that he can one day be the Atlantic 10 Player of the Year.
Stanford Robinson: Keep
Reasoning - Robinson is arguably the team's best wing defender. He provides huge amounts of energy off the bench and plays well in big games.
Cyril Langevine: Keep
Reasoning - The second-coming of Hassan Martin, need I say more?
Nicola Akele: Drop
Reasoning - Akele has loads of potential and talent but he is often too scared to shoot and he has only two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Christion Thompson: Keep
Reasoning - Thompson is a solid defender in the backcourt and a player that puts his imprints on a game from the hustle plays that he makes.
Andre Berry: Drop
Reasoning - There are so many talented big men on this team and Berry rarely sees playing time on this team.
Michael Layssard Jr: Keep
Reasoning - Layssard Jr. has an insane skill set and he cut weight in his freshman year. Once he puts his full arsenal of skills on display, the competition is in trouble.
Michael Tertsea: Keep
Reasoning - Tertsea is a rim protector who can be elite after redshirting in his freshman season.
Daron Russell: Keep
Reasoning - Read some of my featured articles on him (they are under the "Player Features" tab on this website).
Will Leviton: Keep
Reasoning - He knows how to do bench celebrations well.
Eric Dadika: Keep
Reasoning - He knows how to do bench celebrations well.
