Current 2015 roster:
PG: Kavon Stewart (junior)
SG: Rodney Pryor (senior, pursuing one more year of eligibility)
SF:
PF: Elijah Minnie (sophomore), Stephan Bennett (senior)
C: Aaron Tate (senior), Andre Frederick (sophomore), Lionel Gomis (senior)
Incoming 2015 freshman, committed/signed:
SG: Matty McConnell (Signed LOI, Bridgeville, PA)
SF: Isaiah Still (Signed LOI, Roselle, NJ), Joe Hugley (Verbal, Rockville, MD)
Potential 2015 recruits:
PG Nassir Barrino (6-0), Jersey City NJ: Hudson Catholic
2016 Targets:
G/F Charlie Brown (6-6), Mount Zion (MD): Mount Zion Christian Academy
PF J.J. Matthews, Jr. (6-8), Midlothian (VA): Millwood High School
G Nazeer Bostick (6-4) Philadelphia (PA): Roman Catholic
G Austin Harriot (6-4) Philadelphia (PA): Germantown Friends High School
Current Analysis:
As you can see from the current 2015 roster, there is a lot of remaining holes at the guard and wing positions. The three current commits help fill some of those holes. McConnell should be able to play/help the PG and SG role. Isaiah Still can also play on the wing, while Hugley is more of a big man. Much like Elijah Minnie, he should be able to play the three on the defensive end and use his length on the wings of the 2-3 zone, should RMU employ that defensive scheme again next season.
The transfers of Marcquise Reed and Jarius Lyles still leave a huge gap at the SG position. That will be a big focus for the coaching staff as the spring recruiting period opens up. The JuCo route will be explored, and RMU has found some gems (Karvel Anderson, Rodney Pryor). As AAU tournaments heat up, and offers start to pour in, expect a few more commits to the class of 2015.
As for 2016, Andy Toole and the staff have already started offering to-be high school seniors. With Bennett, Tate, Gomis and possibly Pryor expected to graduate after this season, RMU will have a good amount of scholarships to play with going forward.
The Colonials have recently offered Brown (4/13), Matthews Jr (4/13), and Austin Harriot (4/14) with Bostick picking up an offer a few months ago.
