Rodgerick Brown 6'7 F 2017 to New Mexico

[ShockingButTrue]

I think Tyler Harris had 29 points. He is a point guard that can score by penetrating often and has nice shooting range, can dish the ball, and can really handle the ball. Shoelace would luv his crossover and he really blows by people. Yes, of course I would take him as a Shocker!!! R. Brown is one I am glad we signed. Today he had at least 11 points, rebounded well, and defended. I like his motor and he will be a Shock we really like.

I would never base my final verdict on one game because while Kopp had some bright moments, today was not a big day for him. He had too many turnovers today. MU can indeed protect the rim and rebound for sure. He too did not have a good game for him today either so I will reserve my verdict until I see more of him.

I'd like to add Udeze to our stable of bigs. That'd give us P5 size (and skill).

Not opposed to it if he makes the Shocker pecking order through this evaluation period for bigs. He is a player that could and should improve more as the days pass by. We are after so many bigs, I'm not sure who will make the cut that wants to be a Shocker. Also, who knows if there are some Juco bigs or possible transfers that we may look into that might be ready to step right into the rotation after we lose so many bigs at one time. I'm sure glad we have A.M. here already.

At one time I was pretty much sold on Kopp and Udeze. Not so much any more. Kopp had 6 TO's? I think Marshall is in a good position to recruit posts who can both score and rebound.

I think the 6 TO's on the stat line is a little misleading because Kopp was about the only bright spot for Houston. They were outmatched by Team Thad and he had a few questionable charge calls on him.

Six TO doesn't sound good but it sounds like he was handling the ball against pressure like a point guard (out of position). Gregg knows what he is looking for and how to limit TOs. He sounds like a player with a good Bbiq. But there may be 3/4 combos who Gregg likes better. Without seeing the game, I hesitate to be too judgemental about this game.

GGG likes scorers as much as the next guy, but we all know by now he looks for MUCH MORE than just scoring from a 6'6" wing. He seems to be happy with what Z. Brown has to contribute.

Great news. We can use him and I luv his motor, he can play D., and he seems to have a nose for where the rebounds are heading and he goes and gets the rock. The narrative is, this first Season will be the learning curves as he pays he's dues and finds his role in the confines of Shocker team play. That's all good. Even so, by 2nd semester, it would be awesome if his role increases some to not only help us end in a great place, but to also prepare him for this stringent level of ball expected for both this Season and next when more playing time will be wide open.

If nobody redshirts, could it be in many games, we don't have to shorten the bench quite as much but could go 12-13 deep? Not many teams could even think about that possibility.

I would like to reclassify from 1976 to 1996...

I think this year's Fr class will be similar to Keyser's minutes the last half of the season. Some minutes to get some on-court exp. Some spot minutes in close games to get the feel of the on-court pressure when the game is on the line.

The teams we only play once will give the Fr a chance to get some minutes in. The walkons aren't likely to see anywhere near the minutes they got last year.

More confirmation that Rod Brown will probably be joining the Shocks in August.

Brown has his head screwed on incredibly straight.
