Did Rohde play PG for the Tommies? I haven’t watched video in a few weeks now, but I thought he was more of a playmaker than a PG. I.e., not the primary ball handler. I know these convos ultimately lead to quibbling about labels…
PG position is full of maybes and hopefully for next year:
- a guy who’s maybe coming back and can hopefully be more of an alpha dawg** if he does (Reece)
- a guy who played PG at a bad power 5 team, and shot very poorly, but can hopefully become more efficient here (Dante)
- a guy who played some PG (subject to Q above) in a bad league and can hopefully do it decently at the ACC level (Rohde)
- a good SG who needs PG skills if he wants to play in the NBA, and therefore hopefully Tony let’s him expand his role there (iMac)
- a high level SG recruit who didn’t play his senior year and has mostly played with actual NBA caliber PGs (or at least all power conference candidates), who we hope can expand his ballhandling / playmaking (Elijah)
- a guy who had the ball in his hands at his HS a fair amount, but also played alongside a true PG (Jacoi something?) a good bit of the time, and who will maybe come here (Cain)
- maybe maybe maybe (but probably not) a Bliss-ful reclass?
I really hope one of those options works out! And with all the options, I suspect something will. (Would probably put my money on Reece)
** do we like alpha dawg better than its constituent parts? @Hoos9412
