A Sea Of Red

Unless CCS has another really good guard, Josh will be sharing back court duties with JC Tharrington, the PG we have offered for 2019. I would thing JC, who averaged 7 assists a game as a Soph last year, will be the primary ball handler.

Josh has transferred to Carmel Christian for his senior season. Here's a recent write-up on him and his new team: http://www.phenomhoopreport.com/news_ar ... id=1555437

If his stroke and basketball IQ are anywhere close to his father's then maybe we get another Seth Curry-like steal.
He's a late bloomer so maybe a candidate for a red shirt? Let him grow into his body?

I got confused by the fact that both Charlotte Christian and Carmel Christian go by CCS. At his new school, Josh should get to play more at the point. He will still have a teammate with an offer from Liberty in 6'4" 2019 SG Marten Maide.

Actually, the Curry comparisons are numerous.

6'3" guard with long arms........................................ check

Family lives in Charlotte, NC area.............................. check

Played for Charlotte Christian.................................... check

Dad is former NBA Star and all-time great shooter....... check

Older brother also a D1 basketball player.................... check

I expect one difference will be that for obvious reasons we won't be seeing Mark in the Vines on a regular basis the way Dell was. Mom will have to represent there (and she has a tough act to follow).

Ritchie has historically not been an advocate of the developmental redshirt. He has made an exception with Newton, but that's a pretty special case.

Signing period begins today

http://www.aseaofred.com/mcghee-price-p ... heir-nlis/

Josh Price has signed

Darius McGhee has signed

And now Blake Preston has signed

With this class on board, and including current redshirt Brendan Newton, I absolutely love our roster for next year. This year's squad is already the deepest we have had in recent memory, and we add 4 solid pieces while losing just one (albeit a key one in Kemrite).

Per tweet by ASOR, Darius McGhee opened his Senior season at Blue Ridge School in style with 30 points and 10 rebounds. Remember, Darius scored 38 ppg as a Soph to lead the nation, although that was clearly against low level competition. Last year he was more of a role player on a team loaded with top level veterans. This year he should be the #1 scoring option again, but against a pretty tough schedule as BRS prepares to defend it's State championship.

Update on our signees:
McGhee is averaging 28 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 2 assists per game while shooting 48.3% from the field and 50% from 3.
Preston is averaging 13.5 points, 12.2 rebounds, 4.8 blocks, and 1.5 assists per game while shooting 59.6% from the field.
I haven't been able to track down any stats on Josh Price yet.

Wow. Those are incredible stats for both considering the competion they play. Prestons rebounding numbers are what i look at since he has to share the rock scoring more at charlotte christian.

Our signee, Josh Price, dad just got fired by Charlotte.

Wow

Get that dude on the staff! He was such a good pro. He'd be great for a kid like McGhee coming in, let alone his familiarity with recruits.

Looks like his $500,000 contract is guaranteed for 5 years.

So, he can move to the Burg, watch his son play, and be a volunteer assistant. His older son, Hudson, is a 6'7" JR SG at Charlotte. I have a feeling he may want to play elsewhere now.

Never mind. Hudson is a Senior.

I suspect Mark has probably already had a call or 2 from NBA teams interested in him being their shooting coach, which is what he was doing before taking the job at UNCC. I like my idea better though.

+1

Hudson Price, not surprisingly, has asked for his release from UNCC. Unclear whether he has eligibility remaining if he transfers, but I would think unlikely. He was leading the team in rebounding and 3 point shooting.

Probably irrelevant, but if Hudson were to get a waiver to play the rest of this season elsewhere, we have a scholarship available.

Josh Price is here at the Charleston Southern game

Blake Preston is #19 and Josh Price is #63 in top players in NC Hoops. This is getting interesting
