I know exactly who youāre talking about but the name escapes me. Give me a second and itāll come to me.
Oh, youāre talking about Ref. First name of Carolina if memory serves.

(Corrected to Ames)
Itās a delicate balance. Iād try to bring in (at least) another athletic guard/wing whoās better than Rohde and/or Ames. Iād probably focus on keeping iMac. Iād tell all of them but iMac that we are looking to upgrade (diplomatically) but Iād love it they decided to stick around and fight for a spot. If that turns them off, so be it.
Itās possible that trio will be the best we can do for next year, but itās not so good that youād risk losing itā¦

Not keeping him would be the Rohde to ruin.

What this roster is missing that we need to add to the perimeter is a long athlete, someone like an Akil/Justin/Hunter type. Maybe Gertrude can be that guy, but obviously heās going need experience to get there; maybe by ACC play could have that DeāAndre RS Freshman breakout. I do think weāre starting to see why Ames was a Top 100 recruit two years ago. Thereās definitely a role for a guy like him as a score first guard, yeah we could arguably upgrade, but we could also move backwards with the wrong get.

Yeah, my issue is that I wouldnāt classify any of the three of them as a good defender, rebounder or someone I want ball dominant. And think theyāll all be expensive to keep.
Iād prioritize Ames for the extra year of eligibility. Then knock on Rohdeās door to see if heād be willing to come in and be a 6th man.
Get an elite PG and steal Tobi Lawal.

We dont have anyone that has proven they can be a starter on a really good ACC team. (Top 25 nationally)
So Iām not really that worried about retaining anyone.
Selfishly for style of play I would love to keep Robinson, Gertrude and Ames and sign Mallory.
Cofie if he would stay - he wonāt.
Iām way over having plodding non athlete, non basketball athletic skill dudes at multiple positions.
For me the only kind of dude that can be a minus athletically or positional length is a 20 min per game shooter.
Simply Canāt have starters that canāt dribble past their man or score when played one on one - (IMac, Saunders, Blake, Rohde)
Need coaches that encourage the guys who can (Cofie, Robinson, Dai Dai, Gertrude, Mallory)

Point of contention - Murray should be on this list but Rohde shouldnāt be. (And really Robinson should be on the list too but heās valuable in many other ways).

Wrong. IMAC was an excellent starter on these teams:
And a solid starter on these teams:
Heās currently a top 25 ACC player if not higher.

The idea that iMac wouldnāt start on a top 25 team will look very stupid when heās starting for a top 25 team next year.

I donāt knowā¦ the fact that AP voters thought we were a top 25 team in November and December last year isnāt exactly a strong rebuttal to the overall point Dave made.
