The Coaching Legacy of Danny Carmichael (CH 2K8)

[superjames1992]

Good luck! Looks like you've got a (relatively) good young point guard to build with going forward.

Recruiting Update: November 5, 2007

Since it's now we're now beginning Week 3 in the season and Radford hasn't played Michigan yet, I just wanted to show everyone the top 5 players on my recruiting board real fast... I will post another update once it changes more.

1. 2* PG Will Edwards- Radford desperately needs a backup PG and I think Edwards will be the perfect complement to Garnett, whose offensive game is slightly limited. In ABL play Edwards started all 8 games and averaged 10.5 PPG, 4.8 APG, 1.1 SPG. This is the stat that makes him the #1 player on my board. He shot 11/18 for .611% from behind the 3-point arc. Then, he shot 30/59 for a FG% of .508. Edwards can REALLY shoot the ball.

2. 2* PF Kennedy Houston- I'd like some more depth, if not an upgrade to my 6'6" starting PF Drake Conn. Houston started all 8 games in the ABL and averaged 11.3 PPG, 10.5 RPG, 1.5 SPG, and had a FG% of .467.

3. 3* JUCO C Bud Mann- The Centers on this team are just bad... And two of them are graduating. Bud Mann is 7'0", 231 lbs. and seems athletic enough to play the style of basketball Carmichael runs.

4. 2* SF Johnathen Byerson- I wanted to recruit a SF in this class, because my starting SF is a Junior and the backup is not good. Byerson is 6'6" 221 lbs and can also really shoot the ball. In the ABL he started all 8 games and averaged 12.5 PPG and 4.0 RPG. His FG% was .575% and he made 16 out of 29 attempted 3's for a percentage of .551%/

5. 2* PF Rashun Houston- Houston almost averaged a double double in the 8 ABL games he started. He averaged 9.8 PPG and 9.0 RPG. He also has interest from North Texas and TCU. So, this may be a bit of a long shot.

Did you actually play the ABL games and play with each of these players. Also are any of these 2* guy's actually rated? I know you where playing NCAA, so I am not sure how familiar you are with CH2K8, but 2* recruits will typically come in with a Overall rating less then 65, which won't make them much better then the guy's on your team.

I personally would be looking for 3* guy's who don't get any scholarship offers during in-season recruiting.

I played a game or so with all those guys, and really liked how well they played. All the 2* guys are rated. But, I will try looking for 3* guys who don't have scholarship offers cause there has to be some lol. Thanks for the tips though!

November 9, 2007: Radford vs. Michigan

Ann Arbor, MI -- I'm not sure anyone in the country saw this coming. In the first game under new head coach Danny Carmichael, the Radford Highlanders knocked off the Michigan Wolverines on the road 67-58.

In his press conference, Coach Carmichael talked about how his teams would play a very aggressive style of defense, in which he has called it "Mayhem". Well, Coach Carmichael's "Mayhem" defense did not disappoint in ANY way. The Highlanders forced 25 turnovers and 14 of those turnovers were steals.

Radford was led by Sophomore PG Frederick Garnett who finished with a game high 17 points and 8 steals! Starting SG Aaron Dupre chipped in 15 points. Then, Backup C James O'Hanon had a great game off the bench as he scored 11 points in 26 minutes of playing time and was a big factor in Michigan's Center, Ajay Cesar, shooting 0-9 from the field.

Michigan was led by PF Drew Wilmont who got a double double by finishing with 13 points and 13 rebounds. PG Josiah Holmes led the Wolverines in scoring as he put up 15 points on 5 of 8 shooting. Starting Freshman SG Cornell King had a good performance in his first collegiate game, as he scored 14 points on 3 of 6 shooting, but made 7 of 9 free throws.

Radford will now travel back home to face the Northern Colorado Bears in their home opener.

November 13, 2007: Northern Colorado vs. Radford

Radford, VA -- The Radford Highlanders completed a fantastic 2nd half comeback and defeated the Northern Colorado Bears by a scored of 73-71 thanks to some last second heroics by Sophomore PG Frederick Garnett.

The Highlanders were down as much as 13 points in the 2nd half and came storming back in the final 8 minutes to take the lead and ultimately win the game.

The score was 71-70 with 28 seconds left, Northern Colorado was winning. Garnett took the ball up the court and the Highlanders set up a quick play. After a couple ball reversals, Garnett received the pass, got a screen from Drake Conn, and was WIDE OPEN behind the 3 point line and drilled the shot with 6 seconds left in the game. That shot ended up being the game winner as, Bears SF Whitney Karangwa took the final shot for the Bears and it was short.

Garnett led the way for the Highlanders in a really balanced attack all night. Garnett had a team high 12 points even though he shot 3 of 13 from the floor. Backup SG Ryan Ariza came off the bench and scored 11 points, which really helped the late Highlander run in the 2nd half by making 3 of 4 3 point attempts. Starting SG Aaron Dupre had a solid game as he scored 10 points and dished out 5 assists.

It was basically a 3 man attack for the Bears tonight. Bears C Cordero Bonfim got a double double by having a game high 21 points and a game high 13 rebounds. SG Eugene Woods finished the game with 20 points on 8 of 22 shooting. SF Whitney Karangwa had a very solid performance as he finished the game with 19 points and 7 rebounds.

The Highlanders are now 2-0 for the first time since the 2003-2004 season and will take on Gardner-Webb at home on November 17th.
