he played great. one of the brightest spots on the team that night. can we not pick on him like he's an opponent?
25-26 Roster Expectations
- Thread starter *23*
- Start date
McGlothin out performed Lopez, AP and Harper. Who all played more 32 minutes and shot 0-11 from behind the arc ans 1 for 12 over all and 5 pts ans 2 rebound . McGlorhin produced 4 points and 2 rebounds in 3 minutes.
McGlothin has connected on 3pointers in extra time vs JMU and vs Southern Virginia.
Curious to see does he get more opportunity moving forward or will he be hidden from us “the fans”!!!

I don't know what it is , but Mooney hates to play him.
He compares him to Justin Harper - I don't see our other wing guys comparing to an NBA level player. But just like this god awful schedule - we are to assume Mooney knows what he is doing. Not me. Fool me once, twice, three, four five, six, 15 times.
I will not fall for it on the 16th time!!!!
Obviously McG is behind on something and it also seems to me that he gets yelled at a bunch as he plays “scared”. Of course, we are never going to know and just have to hope he is able to work through it. McG definitely has the right physical attributes.
If it’s obvious let us see it. Kid has played on top levels and is a gamer. When you watch him show me where scare or overthink shows up, that is basic coach stereotypical talk. I just say show me the obviously behind part.
If kids can go 0-5, 0-4 and get multiple opportunities I need to see the obvious issue with McGlothin.

I am firmly on your side on this one Spidey. I don't trust Mooney, and he may be causing the issue. Would love to see Bryson get minutes and work through any turnovers, defensive lapses, etc. As we see - some guys are TERRIBLE on defense, but Mooney doesn't yell or berate them? Super odd.
Just to be clear, I am saying that there is something “behind the scenes” that is keeping McG off the court. I have no idea what it is. So “obviously” is a poor word choice but I am saying that there is a reason.
In terms of being “scared”, I am not questioning anything related to him not being tough or anything like that. I am just saying that internally something is rattling him and instead of just playing ball like you know he can, I see nervousness and uncertainty. Nothing that doesn’t happen to any young athlete. I used to see it with my kids too.
He definitely looked more comfortable initially in the Southern VA game and I hope he continues getting over the nerves. I think we all want to see his best and want to see that the redshirt development year works. As I have said in other threads, I am a believer in developing and keeping players. The new “transactional model” is destroying college athletics.
Hope we get a new data point on Saturday. Go Spiders!
If this is true, we need to change the freaking system. Just like I said last year when they were redshirting because they weren't ready. Ready for what? A challenging system? Let's start catering to our players' strengths. If a guy is athletic and talented, do what we can to get minutes for him. And if we have talented recruits in here as freshman, find them minutes. Don't let the system hold them back.
So thanks for clarity it was the “obviously” because we keep an eye on our Texas guys across the country and no one knows the reasoning here.
The rattled part is from the unnecessary yelling that was mentioned earlier, to justify the claim of “rattled. What is OBVIOUS is that Mooney won’t let us see for ourselves.
if McG walked off the floor after that 1st pretty 3, I'd be clamoring for more time too.
but 1-3 from 3 (including an open airball) and 1-2 from the line didn't show me enough to demand more or less time.
no idea how far behind AP and Tanner he is. that's what practices are for. right now I assume from practices he's behind them.
I'm not giving up on AP or Tanner for this entire year based on one D3 game. same with Johnston or Lopez. but after last year, the leash is short for everybody.

Including Mooney right?

Dude, I jest. I’m actually pro-Beagle, I like that he’s looking to score.
But you have to admit, he has a propensity to lose the handle on the ball a lot.

After 2 full games of the season if we had to cut back to an 8-9 man rotation this is who I’d like to see the most.
Starters/most minutes:
Argabright
Johnston
JRob
Daughtry
Beagle
Bench:
Tyne
Lopez
Walz
AP

But looks like we can and will play 11-12 man rotations. We’ll see if that does become a strength of ours as Daughtry said in the post game interview last night.

At this early stage I see no reason to remove David Thomas from the rotation. He appears to be solid and lets the game come to him like Johnston. If a recall he made a good play to score our first bucket last night.

Agree with your lineup. Kind of crazy that you hear all these Walz interviews and this is his year, etc etc. Meanwhile Beagle kept working his butt off and having a very nice start to the year. Not writing Walz off but he once the game starts just need him to be aggressive and make plays. But good depth at center position.
I get what Mooney is doing with starting lineup, need to keep whole team locked in.
I was trying to watch the replay on espn+ but kept falling asleep. What I did seem was very good activity on both offense and defense. I guess taking it seriously in the summer program working out well for Mooney. What a genius. Hopefully next off season he doesn't decide to revert to slacking off. Just weird.

Agreed. Other players like Thomas and Tanner are not worth removing from rotation either. I’m saying that Mooney likes trimming down his rotation come conference play based on history. If that were to be the case, the above 9 players is who I’d like to see.
Perhaps this year is different and we go 10+ rotation every game. The identity of this team being more physical, driving to the basket, half court press Are things we haven’t seen before as a Richmond program so maybe the same will be seen with how many players play during a game.
