Love this for him - great landing spot. I am one of a few Richmond alums on this board - kind of fun to see someone go from the Huskies to the Spiders

Spiders Add 2-Time National Champion Apostolos Roumoglou - University of Richmond Athletics

Hello fellow Spider alum! Yes, thrilled for Romouglou and Richmond. Mooney is a player's coach and having chatted with him I understand why his demeanor resonates. Romouglou will get a good degree and as HeyAdrien suggests he will have a chance to start or come off the bench. UR lost two starting wings -- Biggelow and Dji Bailey (who transferred to LSU), plus a bench forward (Noyes), so minutes are open on the wings.

Mooney has a thing for short, speedy guards (see Jacob Gilyard (pro) ,and Jordan King from last year to name only two.), so they need length on the wings.

On a personal note, it's nice to see another UConn-Richmond connection-- on this board and now with Romouglou!

I must be blocking the other thread creator I guess.

Sorry, didn't mean to start anything. The first thing I read came on the Romo to the portal thread. Then I click back and your post was up. I was on a roll and in my mind I was being conversational, not critical.

I think AR is going to kill it down in Richmond. Great fit. Husky Pride.

I agree, he can put shots /points up.

And Name of the Year

1995. Then made the best decision to attend UConn for grad school.

Are you from VA, CT, or somewhere else?

Cheers.

That’s great. I’m from Tolland born and raised, then went to Richmond for undergrad and absolutely loved it

In an exhibition game against ODU (94-79 Richmond), AR-33 was 8-8 (5-5 3pt) for 22 Pts. Hmmmmm. Good for Apostolos!!

Really weird box score for him. Played 18min, High scorer 22 pts, no missed shots, no turnovers, couple of assists, 3 rbs, 15 point win ... yet his +/- was -8, the only Richmond player with a negative +/-. I can't figure how that could happen.

Impossible stat line. Lol.!

If there was ever an example of why +/- is an unreliable stat…

New Math.

Maybe the first ever thank you post for a transfer, but he deserves it. He is so well-liked by his coaches and teammates. Hope he kills it in Richmond.

Many of us saw he had talent (he can shoot it and had a solid handle for a player with his length) when he got some late game PT.

He's just a player who needed more time to get stronger and I'm sure he believed that it would be a challenge to earn a significant role based on the talent around him.

I wish him success and hope he works hard on his body and game and develops into a really good player who will earn some money at the next level wherever he lands.

To this day, I have still yet to see him miss a shot...

In all honesty, I cannot either. It always seemed like he'd come in in garbage time, play the point, drain a 3, and just look like he could play. One of the games he hit a gorgeous driving lefty layup in traffic, too. Would not be surprised in the least if he puts up some really big #'s at RIchmond.

You have to make winning plays at both ends of the floor, especially if DH is the coach. But damn he can shoot.

Yep I would watch him during warmups and he never missed

To add to the mysteries of the game, there are some players who perform much better in games than they do in practice. Probably very rare, but how can a coach justify or pick out such players? Trial and error is one way. May be costly.

Why can't we get kids like that?

Just think, he has more rings than…. ! Oh never mind

 

[Shamon30]

Leading in scoring while having the worst +/- has to be a pretty rare feat. He had a few assists, no TOs, and a respectable 3 rebounds in 13 minutes. Works out to over 9 per 40. Richmond either played amazing lockdown defense in the other 27 minutes or their opponent went ice cold.

Perhaps nobody else on Richmond was hitting when he was in? I know he's not known for great defense, but no one defender could be so bad as to compile that statistic when scoring that efficiently.

Actually, I misread. He played 18 min, not 13. Therefore, the 3 rebounds (all on defense) works out to about 7. Still not bad for a guard. With him playing 18 min instead of 13, it makes his +/- all the more bizarre.

Good news! I have very fond memories of watching the Spiders upset Bobby Knight and the Hoosiers in the NCAA Tournament at the Hartford Civic Center many moons ago!

I was there too! March 1988
