"The trio of freshmen will all have a chance to make an immediate impact. Sherfield and Etienne are two of the highest-rated recruits Marshall has signed and scouts view both as guards that can be instant offense for the Shockers, while Fernandes, although undersized, possesses a grit that Marshall loves. It’s not preposterous to imagine two freshman eventually starting, just like it’s not crazy to think one might end up redshirting.

The more I go back review the tape on this kid it sticks out that he has a fluid gait and long arms, allowing for good defensive posture. Quick. Good J. We're gonna' like this kid.
He's the spitting image of the one-time Valley great who went on to a successful career in the League: Mo Cheeks.

I really think both Fernandez and Gordon are both underrated. But as I have said before , I don't think Fernandez cares. He just plays. It's going to be interesting competition this summer. Hope I can steal a couple of days to watch pick up games this summer.Comment

For many weeks I was about the only guy defending AM against so many attackers and hoping he would
get some meaningful PT and once he finally got it he proved what I always thought - he is a good center.
NF will get his chances, no doubt, but once again I will mention Tate Busse. If he gets the chance he could
very well surprise. We need shooters and he may be the best one on the team. Go ahead and laugh just
as most laughed when I was pushing for AM to play. Who ever it is, Noah, Tate, DG, I think there are going
to be one or two players surprise on the upside just like AM did.Comment

It's tough as hell to catch a summer pickup game anymore. I think they are randomly changing the schedule just to confuse me. I think they fear my (actual) height report. I'm definitely approaching this summer with a Gregg Marshall chip on my shoulder. CB wants to see plenty of tall dark men with long arms. No midgets/D2 bodies please!Originally posted by WstateU View Post
If funny... thinking back on my report from last summer with the year just finished: Mark was not impressive forcing drives with little success; Jamie, Erik, Teddy and Dexter were VERY impressive; Rod looked like a bodybuilder; Ricky looked like a walkon; Udeze appeared slothful; Chance showed nice offensive skills. I never saw Asbjorn, Poor Bear, SHJ, or Burton play.
A little hit and miss but quite a few hits.

This kid is 2,000 point scorer in the preps. That's impressive.
But the reason I re-posted his EYBL stats is because I read on msn today about the Tar Heels landing a 5* center from the Virgina prep ranks (Armando Bocat) who averaged less points (10.9) than Noah did (12.9), although the big did grab 8 rbs. a game. But, hey, our guy averaged 4.8 dimes.
Seems like our guy was a littlle under recruited? Shocks are gonna have some good guards in 2 years...

Speculation or predictions (whatever you want to call it) with limited information is fine. After all, all we have to base our opinions on is highlight videos and statistics so far and we will be able to tell much more when we see our players against Division 1 competition. Some of the poor quality suggestions or predictions from last year (before November) include:
-Jemarious Burton should redshirt this year because he won't play very much. WRONG
-Also, many thought (me included) that Ricky Torres would be the second coming and solve our point guard problems for the immediate future. WRONG
-many thought that we'd win 25 games this year in the regular season. WRONG
-many thought that we'd be in the Top 3 conference teams this year. WRONG.
I personally hope we are good enough next year to get back into competition for the American Championship and back to competition for a Top 25 Ranking. I would think that JB and ES will begin the year as the heir apparent to the guard positions. They both have some really fine strengths to build upon and experience that should help them as well as some weaknesses that need to be rectified. But our other 3 guards that we just signed also are very talented and have played top high school/prep school competition and have that to build on. There are 40 minutes of guard minutes to divide up between at least 5 guards and while I would think that all 5 would get minutes at the beginning of the year, most likely 4 will get the large majority of the minutes as the year moves along. The team will win from this competition, but one of the talented players probably won't in the long run.Comment

When you expand from the 1/2 (five candidates for PT) to the 1/2/3, Dennis becomes the sixth candidate, but Teddy, Trey, and DeAntoni get added. It the. Goes five players for 80 minutes to nine players for 120 (more accurately 160 since the 4 spot is also in play). There’s still an odd man out...maybe two if there is a large talent gap. -
We will have at least 2 if not 3 guards on the floor at all times. A not so long time ago we had FVV - Rob Barker - Tekele on the floor at the same time - all guards.
Who is Rob Barker ? -

I've made no speculations for next year either... Now, on the other hand, the "potential" TWO years out is rather intriguing.Comment

bumping this for the sake of rehashing the redshirt argument now that we see the full rosterComment

Because this is SN and what we do is endless speculation based on our deep knowledge and love of the game and true awesomeness of arm-chair-coaching, I'm going out on a limb and say that we have two redshirts this year, Udeze and Fernandes. Morris needs the extra time to strengthen his shoulder and catch up with his peers. Noah needs to put on some weight. I could see a scenario that Gordon takes a redshirt as well, just to give him some time to adjust to D1 ball, but I think there are minutes available for him to get on the court this year. Just don't know if he's up to the task. We're deep at the guard and big positions but the wing is a little iffy. Regardless, I can't imagine a scenario where we don't have at least one redshirt with the obvious candidate being Udeze.Comment
