Roster updates

Rapp's a natural leader and seems like a good team guy. I really hope he is able to carve out a role. They obviously believe Chatfield has a role at some point because his name comes up from time to time in interviews.

The lost time is going to have an impact for a young roster. The ooc would have been great to see what the first year players immediately bring to the table and expanding the roles for the second year guys. On the bright side, we now will have essentially a 4-month preseason that I'm confident the staff will use well. Players make the most progress playing in real games but it will be interesting to see if there are some other good gains before the season if it does begin in January for players like Abogidi, Jackson, Jakimovski, and Rosario.

I also hope Noah Williams can address his shooting to some extent over this time to become an actual threat outside the lane. Williams with a legit jumper would create a lot of problems for other teams.
 
Chatfield's role: To be a 6 ft 11 in 239 to 259 pound Rebounder, Space Eater, Shotblocker, Shot alterator, Intimidator, banger, fouler(5,6 fouls), 4.5 to 7.5 ppg(mostly garbage buckets, put backs, guards slashing into the lane, dish, dumping to him for the easy underneath basket, freethrows), 4.9 to 5.9 to 6.9 to 7.9 rebounds per game, 1 block per game, 1 take a charge per game, 4 fouls per game, etc. Not good, great stats, but enough combined with his height, weight, in about 13 to 18 minutes of play per game.

If he does that, thats great. And good chance that he might probably do that.

Thats what I see his role as a roleolayer off the bench, as.
 
Any serious contribution from Chatfield would be awesome. Remember he redshirted last year so he is a freshman. Those numbers would be great but personally I think he still might be a year away from contributing.
 
Chatfield was a very good get of a player from the local area. I think after a couple of years as he gains strength he will be a nice role player. Not much expectation for a lot but he was a good rebounder in HS.
