Roderick Flemings

Is this guy practicing with the team? If so, has anyone seen how he is doing?

Buford_Julep · December 12, 2006

Fleming looked very good while I was watching. He seems to be a complete player. He looked good inside and outside and on offense and defense. He appears to be about 6-7.

He often played the 4 position in practice. I can't say if JJ is thinking of using him there or not. Right now the most important thing in practice is to use him in a way that will help this season's players get better.

Fleming will be a Soph next season.

The other transfer is Collin Dennis who will be a Junior next season. Local high school fans will remember him as the point guard who led Richland High to the 4-A Region tournament in 2004.

Dennis also played point guard for South Florida of the Big East. He was used only at the two position when I was watching practices in October.

Will they be eligible next semester or next season? It is great to have such depth.

Buford any news on Colin Mangrum? Is he being redshirted? Thanks very much for your updates.

UNTLifer · December 13, 2006

Harry, I believe Mangrum has played in every game this year.

He has played quite a bit, though for very short periods of time, typically when we are winning big. He looks very promising, though he is still a bit spastic like most freshman are. He is very, very fast on the court, and has a very nice looking shot. He should turn out to be a great recruit.

Not only is Mangrum a shooter but I have been extremely pleased with his defensive effort.

All i know is Mangrum has played in 6 games.

He was impressive in the October practices. He finished first in almost every sprint.

Thats is what like to hear about a freshman. But that is terrible for the rest of the team. You don't let some punk kid come in and beat you.

Like I tell my friends Collin Mangrum is the future.

Next year's starting 5

PG - Ben Bell

SG - Collin Dennis (awesome shooter and can drive)

SF - Roderick Flemings

PF - Q (as a senior, he'll be tough!)

C - Keith Wooden (much improvement forecasted)

Bench

PG - Insert Recruit Here, Sturns

SG - Sturns and Mangrum

SF - Insert Recruit Here

PF - Harold Stewart, Harold Edwards

C - Howerton, J. Jackson

We are not losing that much even though KD and C Dub are great players. Dennis and Flemings can flat out play. Great job getting those two here Coach Jones!
