Totally new-look roster

Postby Lefty » Wed May 08, 2024 10:26 pm

Taking the roster that ROCKNEPONY was nice enough to compile, but re-sorting it by height:

C/F Mitchell Holmes Freshman — 6'11 215lbs

C/F Yohan Traore - UCSB TRANSFER — 6'11 225lbs

C Jerrell Colbert - K-State TRANSFER — 6'10 216lbs

F Keon Ambrose-Hylton — 6'9" 220 lbs

F Chance Puryear Freshman — 6'7 190lbs

G AJ George - Long Beach TRANSFER — 6'6 190lbs

F Matt Cross - UMass TRANSFER — 6'6 225lbs

G Chuck Harris — 6'4" 190 lbs

G Kario Oquendo - Oregon TRANSFER — 6'4 210lbs

G B.J.Edwards — 6'3" 185 lbs

G Jackson Young [walk-on] — 6'2 185 lbs SR

G Boopie Miller - W.Forrest TRANSFER — 6' 175lbs

G Trey Utter [walk-on] — 6' 160 lbs

Compare that front line to last year's:
Xavier Foster (7'0 or 6'11 ... depending on which roster you looked at)
Mo Njie (6'11)
Ambrose-Hylton (6'9)
Samuell Williamson (6'8)
Tyreek Smith (6'8)

Ambrose-Hylton is the only one still on the roster. Foster and Njie barely played. Williamson is a terrific player but struggled with his shot. Smith scores on dunks and put-backs, but contributed most on rebounds and defense.

Now they go 6'11, 6'11, 6'10 and Ambrose-Hylton at 6'9. If these big guys contribute even a little, things are going to look really different in Moody next year.

I enjoyed seeing Keon Ambrose-Hylton, Jefferson Koulibaly, Sam Williamson, Emory Lanier and Ricardo Wright get their SMU degrees in APSM this morning. Pony Up!

And I like seeing that Keon (at least so far) apparently plans to return for another season. It's so common for guys who graduate to enter the portal and move on but hopefully Keon stays and becomes part of a team that finally earns that elusive NCAA bid

Keon was previously recruited by this staff and is totally on board with them and the system they run. I was fortunate to meet him recently and he couldn’t say enough great things and is excited about the team for next year.
