No thanks on both. Horvath looks solid, but we have a glut at the C position already. Unless we lose another C in addition to Kuba I don't see it as enough of a need.

I just can't imagine Rogers succeeding in the MWC at 5'2. It's one thing to play at that height in the America East, another in the MWC.

I would take a long, hard look at Eytle-Rock though.

Horvath is listed as a Forward, not sure if he plays much center.

In that case I would consider him. Looks like he can shoot the 3 reasonably well...a little better than Bean at least.

He shoots at 30% on the year...and shoots a couple each game...i'd take this guy for sure.

Horvath is actually listed on UMBC's site as F/G despite being 6'10". He looks like a good player looking at his stats with over 50% from 2 and 8.7 rounds per game including getting a double-double against Georgetown, and Horvath improved every year. It would not be a surprise if we got Horvath.

I’d take Horvath and Eytle-Rock. Not sure anyone else on that team would help us much at this level, due respect to UMBC.

Horvath is better than any big on our current roster except for Bean.

Without naming names of who I hope move on, I am at a point where I kind of hope a few other scholarships shake out considering the huge amount of players available in the portal this year.

Sounds like Odom isn’t interested in counseling anyone out though.

I don't think we have a glut of big men anymore now that Neemi, Kuba, and Fonz are moving on. We'll need another forward for sure. After watching some of UMBC's film the other night, I would take Horvath in a heartbeat. The guy makes his team better. He plays unselfish and knows how to use space and hit the open guy besides doing some scoring and rebounding himself. He knows what Odom wants on both ends. He also moves well for a 6'10" guy. and averaged 13 pts, 9 rebs, and 2 assists a game last season, which is very Beanesque. I think you start him next to Bean and run 3 guards with them, then when Bean goes out he can slide to the F and Dorius or Zapala come in. Or McChesney can sub in for Bean and Horvath stay at the 5.
4's - Bean, McChesney
4/5 - Horvath
5 - Dorius, Zapala

And at 6'10" he could help us possibly maintain the tallest team in the country designation.

You revealed my real intention of having that particular player listed. :joking:

No offense but other than Queta I don't recall a freshman bigman coming in and earning significant minutes in a long time. I think Potter will develop into a good player but Horvath would be great for one transition year until he can get his feet under him.

I agree that Eytle-Rock is the prize catch on UMBC and would love to land him. Regarding Darnell Rogers, pretend you don't know what size he is and look at his numbers. His numbers this year were good but his previous season at UMBC were even better. 14 pts, 4.3 assists, 3.4 rbs, and shot over %42 from 3. A kid who has been doubted his whole life has a major chip on his shoulder and has learned to adjust his game. I think of Gomez at SDSU. I'm not saying I'd go sign him right now as I'd want to see what else is out there but I wouldn't overlook him just because of his height.

Say Rogers could come as a walk-on? I’d totally take him.

I have no clue if the Rogers can play at the MWC level or not, but his numbers are solid. CSU has 2 point guards that start that are 5'10" and 6'.

I used the Georgetown game as a way to measure stats about players going to MWC.
Rodgers and Horvath were the best players of that game for UMBC.
Eytle-Rock had 6 TOs in that game while Rodgers played 9 more minutes than Eytle-Rock had 2 TOs in the same game.

I would point out that Horvath entering the transfer portal is on the same timeline as us getting Odom as HC.

Horvath is not a center by any means, but a modern-day 'stretch 4' who can handle the ball well and shoot from 3. He's a playable MWC player IMO. I am an alumnus of the University of Missouri and follow their program closely as well, and would take him on that SEC team in a heartbeat.

I also think Dan Akin, the starting center on the NCAA team, would be a good depth option for Odom at USU. Not a huge scoring threat, but can defend positions 1-5 and is an absolute workhorse on the defensive end and the offensive glass. He also doesn't demand touches, making him an ideal role player.

Rogers is not a MWC player - he struggled to create his shot in the America East. Decent low mid major player, but not MWC.

Hoping Eytle-Rock stays at UMBC, but obviously TBD at this time.

Thanks - definitely hope so as well, but if they're going to leave would love for them to join Odom. Horvath + Akin especially. I don't think the best parts of Eytle-Rock's game would play in the MWC.

It sounds like Horvath would be a good candidate to replace Alphonso Anderson.

Because you are a UMBC fan, I thought that you know that one of Taylor Coppenrath's second cousins is on this board. Last I heard, he was a high school basketball coach.

Can he be a 3? We have a pretty good 4.

Looks like an intriguing player. And a 30% shooting percentage from three would put him like second on the team, wouldn't it?

Is this a mandatory sound track for highlight videos (football and basketball)? It seems like every highlight video we see has the (seemingly) exact same song playing in the background. Maybe I'm just getting old?

Example of faint praise?

It sounds like Horvath would be a good candidate to replace Alphonso Anderson.
I was thinking the same thing, but Horvath would be a starter.
What about bean?
If we got Horvath, I think that we would be a double 4 type of deal that play 5 at times. We have heavier players in Dorius, Zapala, and Potter that would rotate in for the 5 spot.

Isn't Potter only like 6'8"? I agree we'd likely start two 4's if Horvath came. You don't take Justin off the floor.....and Horvath would be much better than any of our 5's or backup 4's. Both Horvath and Bean are excellent at rebounding the ball. Only issue I see is if Horvath has to defend a legit 7 footer that has both size and strength as Horvath seems to be more of a finesse player. Not many teams have a true center in the MWC anyways and in the odd instance they would, we throw Dorius out there for more minutes.

6'8" yes but was 230 coming out of high school. I would imagine that Potter is bigger after 2 years.

I don't think we have a glut of big men anymore now that Neemi, Kuba, and Fonz are moving on. We'll need another forward for sure. After watching some of UMBC's film the other night, I would take Horvath in a heartbeat. The guy makes his team better. He plays unselfish and knows how to use space and hit the open guy besides doing some scoring and rebounding himself. He knows what Odom wants on both ends. He also moves well for a 6'10" guy. and averaged 13 pts, 9 rebs, and 2 assists a game last season, which is very Beanesque. I think you start him next to Bean and run 3 guards with them, then when Bean goes out he can slide to the F and Dorius or Zapala come in. Or McChesney can sub in for Bean and Horvath stay at the 5.
4's - Bean, McChesney
4/5 - Horvath
5 - Dorius, Zapala
Don't forget about Potter
Can't imagine Potter would come in off a mission and make an immediate impact. But still, is this a player you think we should be excited about?

Merrill and Ashworth made an immediate impact off their mission. I am not saying that Potter will for sure make an immediate impact, but he was pretty highly rated recruit for us. It is fair to say that we take the wait and see approach, but we should not be surprised that he does make an immediate impact.

Interesting, thanks. I couldn't remember the story on him. Was he originally a Smith recruit?
