Roncalli loses to Lawrence Central 53-51 and finish the year with a 17-4 record. Ryan had 17 points.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Basketball Takes on Detroit in Horizon League Second-Round

I think Slocum's first recruit for us was Jack Liles, and he was tremendous! But ever since then, he hasn't recruited a talented big man like Jack....

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Basketball Takes on Detroit in Horizon League Second-Round
« on: March 03, 2012, 01:10:24 PM »Last year we were questioning if we even belonged in the Horizon League. This was our best season in ten years. Slocum has two years to build on this season. If he has a mediocre recruiting year and we slide back to the bottom of the conference he should retire or be fired.
Well this year's recruiting class, the 2 players, are basically wing guys that can shoot the 3, so I say it's below average unless they add 2 more players, a big guard that can drive to the hole and, of coarse, a big man. So I really don't see a improvement on this team for the next couple of years...
And as for the best team in a decade, if you go by the record, yeah I guess so. We finished in 6th, which was our highest in the conference, and we only made to the 2nd round, again which is the furthest we've made in the HL Tourney. I don't really call that a successful season.....But I believe the best team we had was when we had Quin, Liles, Barber, etc. I can't remember what year that was, but they would beat this years team IMO.
Slocum has done a really good job bringing up the YSU basketball program lil by lil every year, but he's got to go. The next couple of years are gonna be pretty bad for us and I just believe we need to find someone who can kick it up a notch and get us to the next level...

Hey. That 2-year extension is looking really right now isn't it?

His HS team might have listed him there. But He was playing in the box in the front 7. His athleticism and skills are better suited as a Linebacker. See:

He would've been a really good LB for us. Oh well...

... that's why he was recruited as a OLB. His athleticism was better suited there. If you looked at his tape, that's what he basically was playing.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Football signs four defensive players - first day of JUCO signing period
« on: December 21, 2011, 08:19:09 PM »
Well I just watched vid on all 3 Juco's. I think in the secondary, we need guys that can cover and make plays on the ball in the air. So here's my thought on them:
Chris Charles is pretty good in both run and pass, but hes stronger in the run game. Comes up and makes the hit, and he's a pretty good tackler. In coverage, he show's to pick up his man in his area and try to make a play on the ball. He may start... http://youtu.be/tbpjTegiPLo
Julius Childs is a cover guy. Can run with his man and make a play on the ball. He'll need to work on his hips a bit, but he's only a sophomore so he's got time. He can make the sure tackle, but he's going to need to add strength. He could start, since he could be our best cover guy... http://www.hudl.com/athlete/449981/julius-childs
And now Twin Fernandes. This could be a bad player for us! Reason I say that is the position they have him at: Safety. On film.... he's not a safety and I HOPE that he won't be a safety here! He can be a good OLB though since that's where he mostly played. He can blitz and tackle well. But in coverage, he's terrible.... so he's like a rushing linebacker. He'll need to add a lot of bulk and strength since he's 6-foot and 185 lbs. At linebacker, he's got potential. But at safety..... NO! http://www.hudl.com/athlete/342680/twin-fernandes
Nobody really stands out physically like speed and strength; the measurables. They're pretty much average.
Overall, I'm not really excited because one player doesn't really "stand out" but they're okay with Chris Charles being the best out of the 3. And I really hope they put Twin Fernandes at OLB cause if he's at safety, then you're wasting his abilities.... I feel like we need to sign 2 or 3 more in the secondary that can help us in Pass defense.
