David Shriver Is A Ram!

Here's the question: Is the A10 ready for this? I'm thinking Deloach's post was a bit over the top.

And he addresses a notable need for the Rams: shooting. VCU ranked 316th in the country in 3s per game last season, with 5.7. They shot 34.7% from deep as a team, which was sixth in the Atlantic 10.

But Shriver figures to add to that output. The Philippi, W.Va., native has a long reputation as a knockdown shooter.

Epps got that out quickly. He clearly had the info on embargo, just ready to go as soon as the announcement came out.

Hartford is moving from Division 1 to Division III for next season; likely a factor in Shriver's decision. Very one dimensional, 213 of 266 shots attempted were from beyond the arc.

Are you implying that he is another one-trick pony?

Our current roster and staff know this part, which explains the deep excitement.
Props to staff for landing a big one on the right hand side of THIS:

Welcome David!

Can't wait to see you knocking down those 3's!

Solid pickup. Needed a shooter. A seemingly well thought out and executed run of roster additions so far this off-season.

 

[G-Man]

Let’s hope he can defend!

Good point, but it’s not like he’s going to be guarding 1’s or 2’s.

 

[AlienAiden]

I’m not sure how the fourth leading scorer on a horrible team is exactly huge, but hopefully he can contribute some.

Let’s hope he can defend!

At 6'6 he will help with spacing and he will shoot when open. That was a problem last year. Open shots were not taken quickly enough or missed. Plenty of space for outside shooters but it was usually Ace or Vince taking the shot. Oh, Nunn too. Shriver should help. I am surprised that he passed on going to a smaller school for minutes. That tells me that he wants to win and contribute to a solid program. Every thing I have seen since hearing about his interest early this week mentioned knockdown shooter. Well, that is what we have needed so let's see if he can bomb away.
Welcome David "Stache" Shriver!

At 6'6 if he is active he will help our 3 pt D.

So how many scholarships are left now?

He is a pure 3 pt shooter. We need that big time. Him, Jones a big that can hit threes, and Zeb an all around scoring guard potentially adds a lot of offense to the pieces we alreay have.

If we add Smith, I think this is the best team MR has had, and the look of it is the most like the FF squad since then.

Stat-wise he fills a desperate need. It is huge.

 

[RamBamBiggalow]

We don't need him to be Graham, we need him to hit a few looks a game.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Do you (or does anyone else) know if he shoots any off the bounce or mostly on the catch? I imagine it's mostly the latter, but if he's decisive it will help either way.
