At this point, I would rate Dachon as the top player among the RMU newcomers. He is extremely active, quick, talented and can make shots, something we desperately need. Wright has a nice looking outside shot, but seems to be streaky. We need him to hit 40% of his 3 point attempts, he has to become more consistent, and do more than just take outside shots when he touches the ball. Clive looks to be a good prospect in the backcourt. Up front, I think Braden Burke has tremendous potential and will contribute well as a freshmen. Roberto will get a lot of playing time this coming season. He does not appear to be a true 6'8" and his offensive skills are limited, but he will get rebounds and if he learns from Aaron to play within the system he will contribute. David Cole has a big body that makes him look more like a football player. He should develop into a really good Northeast Conference type big man. Aaron Tate looks to be healthy and fit. Other than Dachon, none of the RMU players (veterans and newcomers) have put up very impressive stats. A couple of other items; walk-on Nate Johnson has looked impressive, and Matty has not played due to still rehabbing from shoulder surgery. If RMU is to be successful this coming year: the players have to come together as a team and be very coachable, and a couple of guys need to consistently make a high percentage of outside shots. There is no Velton, Karvel or Rodney, these players need to be a team and also follow the game plans provided by their coaches.
