Rohde is averaging around 27 mins per game, and a little under 5 ppg.

In 2016, Devon Hall averaged around 22 mins per game, and less than 4.5 ppg.

Rohde averages more assists and better A/TO ratio. Devon a slightly better shooter that year, but not significantly.

I’m not a huge Rohde advocate, but we’re not in totally uncharted territory here. And in 2016 Devon had 2 more years left, and ended up All ACC.

The issue with 247 is Tu’s arguments were basically with the same people over and over… and basically any argument on that board can be tied to 3-4 posters.

I find myself in the camp that those 3-4 posters are trying to antagonize as well. You basically can’t have a different opinion on 247, if you do then those posters just get personal.

Rohde is either gonna work out or he isn’t, plain and simple. This year has been rough but it’ll be this offseason and next season that defines his time here. If he gets better and becomes another Devon Hall, that’s great and we’ll be all the better for it. If he doesn’t and becomes the next Paul Jesperson, I doubt TB decides to play the long game with him at that point especially if a guy like Gertrude has surpassed him by leaps and bounds. Things will work themselves out one way or another, I don’t see this as a Kody Stattmann situation tbh.

Oh I completely agree, and it’s part of the reason why I’ve distanced myself from that board in favor of this one outside of the occasional JF football scoop and Karl’s baseball threads. Like I said, the issues that have followed Tu aren’t entirely his fault.

I should do the same but I like JF, and she’s done a great job there.

I won’t be lying if I said, I do enjoy watching those posters go unhinge.

This board has such better conversations and are actually rooted in basketball knowledge.

Is Tu still on 247?

But Rohde has a year of solid shooting numbers IN college so it’s not like he can’t do it again. Yes, I get it’s better competition but he took harder looks at St. Thomas. He can absolutely turn it around. Also, his defense is not ā€œso badā€. Point taken on shooting but I’m hopeful an offseason of S&C and tweaking will go a long way.

We’re just making stuff up at this point. There’s many reasons to be unhappy with his performance this year, this isn’t one of them.

I’m basing his defense performance on the efficiency numbers. I know others seem to think he’s been pretty good, but it’s hard to tell from the eye test honestly with the way the pack line hides some of that… that’s why I use those efficiency numbers.

I’m hopeful. I think he is better with the ball in his hands, which will be the case more next year.

@DFresh11 in regards to Rohde I have never seen a guard throw the ball to No one as much as he has. I mean like let’s go down to Wal mart optical and test out the eyes bro.

The number you are thinking of is twice. One of which was a miscommunication about which way Reece was cutting.

I’ve seen other guards throw it away more. Two on our team, actually.

I thought this was a place tu have light-hearted discussion of our favorite poster. Let’s bring the substantive Rohde discussions tu the Rohde thread. Tu much tu ask?

@AdventiveQuasar admittedly a difficult task when Tugard starts the discussion!
