For so many years we have started offensive stiff's. Guys that played hard, but could not contribute offensively. Skerry loved these "junk yard dogs," but it held us back. Starters like Eddie Keith, Alex Thomas, Deshaun Morman, Brian Starr, Kris Walden (PK recruit), Victor, Parker-Rivera, McNeil, Tunstall....i could go on, but you get my point, most of these guys were offensive liabilities, but they were "Skerry guys." Look at this line-up and try to find an offensive dud....The top 3 were all-conference guys and Gray had good years w USD. CT is talented and young. He'll benefit from having skill around him. Holland and Gibson off of the bench? Gibson was our 2nd best offensive player last year (in my opinion) and I like him, but he may be the 7th best option with this roster. Finally Skerry and staff appear to be getting it.... I've been fooled by skerry before, but this is the most well rounded and offensively talented squad since his first recruiting class.....

Congratulations. Way to represent the black and gold!

I'm really pumped about this add. Holden also averaged 1.7 steals a game with only 2 turnovers. And at 2 assists a game, he'll be one of our best passers. I really want to see a competent offense next year and with Holden, Nixon, Rizzuto, Gray and a returning CT (and not to mention Holland), we have more offensive firepower than I can remember. Excited that we are FINALLY not solely focusing on athletic ability or brute force and have picked up some talent!

I agree. Morehead State was no slouch either. The top OVC schools would have crushed the top CAA schools this year, no doubt about it.

We missed out on the playoffs thanks to that crooked AD from UNH that kept putting his team in the playoffs (for like 15 years), when they had no business being there because he had a seat on the selection committee (Marty Scarano). We pasted UNH like 66-35 on the final game of the season to end up with the same record as them, yet they got the bid. That LSU game was fantastic. I wouldn't trade it for the playoffs. We had the lead for a chunk of the game. We rushed for more yards than ANYONE did on LSU that entire season. We had 4 sacks vs. 0 for LSU. We played outstanding. Too bad we didn't get in the playoffs though, to your point, as that might have been our best team ever. If we had Enders the next season, I think we would have won it all. We were featured on 60 Minutes b/c of that game, we made some show like hard knocks for LSU, etc. That was so memorable.

325th....

Looks like we are sniffing around another JUCO guard. This guy shot over 50% from 2, but only 22% from 3. He does hand out assists and went to Montverde Acadmeny......

We need to aim high. He may not come here, but we should go after good talent. I'd kill for one more good shooter on next year's team!

I dunno guys....I'll agree to disagree. The CAA was garbage last year and our offense was one of the worst in all of D1, so I'm not sold on how inferior the MEAC was, at least compared to us (although we beat Coppin by 5 in our only MEAC game). Take a closer look at this guys numbers the last 10-15 games of his sophomore year at Coppin. They were real good. His final 12 games the guy averaged 13 points and 13 rebounds a game with a ton of blocks (and he would have led our squad in assists). He started to figure things out.....He may not be the next Kevin Durant, but he's no Victor or Jamel Flash, either. Averaging a double / double in the MEAC would still play well in the CAA....... https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/brendan-medley-bacon-1/gamelog/9999/

yep....our leader had 53 (zane) followed by gibson with 28......Matt may be right, he might be a reach, but his numbers at Coppin were good, certainly better than Victor's....and if our new shooters could spread the floor, a pass first big man might not be a bad addition to the team....

I'd like to see us pursue this guy. Local guy, showed some traction, and much sturdier than Victor. https://richmond.com/sports/college/vcus-brendan-medley-bacon-a-7-1-center-enters-transfer-portal/article_fadd358e-9199-11eb-b673-c7bbddfaaea4.html

Pass on this one. Averages 3 points a game at Ohio and shoots 34% from the field. We need shooters/scorers, we should be able to do better.

I find this comment funny also. The thing is, the CAA is wide open. Wasn't JMU picked close to last and they won the regular season? No Tyson Walker at NE, if we reload, with quality guards, who knows. CT is a quality big and if we can get real shooting threats to finally spread the floor, maybe we can have a functional offense. Track record suggests otherwise, but if Nolan and Rizzuto are good adds, and they appear relatively stronger than what other CAA teams have done so far, maybe we can dream of going dancing.... I thought 4 might have left on rocky terms. Glad to see he helped broker this deal....

Montgomery looks good. Fast with a hard shot. If we had addressed face off, we'd have a really solid squad this year.

I'd love to see morsell come to towson. Go try and get him, Skerry. Let's build around some guards!
