What is going on with him? He can't dribble, has awful and dagerous passing, have not seen him shoot except a few of the first games. I thought he was going to be a good pick-up. He is just awful. I CRINGE when he touches the ball.

isnt he a freshman? he only played like 5 mins total

I think he'll be alright, hard to tell if he's got any talent since he played so nervous & tentative. WAY too early to evaluate. No confidence right now for sure.

agreed

He will ramp it up - give him a year - also would not be surprised if he grows some more.

Passing was o.k. but ball handling was pretty rough.

He needs to keep developing his shot and be our spot up 3 go to guy later in his career...I don't ever see him being able to handle heavy pressure in the future....

The freshmen excuse is WEAK. Look, these guys, all of them played and were stars on their repective high schools. Taking bad shots, trying to push too hard, not running the correct offense...those are freshmen mistakes. Not being able to dribble? What do you call that?

He had steals on consecutive possessions at UTSA--with admittedly, a turnover to start the second possession. Nice touch on the basket that he made there. In that game--the only I've seen this season--looked like a player to watch.

Poor kid..........He needs to spend the year on the scout team. He has no business on the floor against decent d-1 teams. Dribbles too much, loses his man on defense, picks the ball up.......

gotta agree with all of you. What is he doing getting real minutes? Not trying to pick on him, but Doh needs to keep him off the floor. He must be doing something in practice that is not translating to games at all.

if harp is having it tough, where is rhodes?

Rhodes was hurt....He hit his head in practice and was held out.

That used to happen to me all the time. Bumping my head on the backboard.

I made a long post after the PQ game, main thing I said about Ryan Harp is that he needs to learn how to create his own shot. That is a glaring weakness right now. By all accounts, he can light it up when he's got an open shot, but can he create his own shot? We were toast tonight if Derrick Roberts couldn't create a few shots on his own

Good players should create their own shot. Hell, average D-1 players should create their own shot.

Look, I want this guy to succeed, but right now he looks lost and trust me...from where I sit I can see his eyes...lost.
