Apostolos Roumoglou to Richmond

[UCFan1513]

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

First team to ever upset a #2 seed in the tourney.

That #2 seed? Syracuse.

Hope Glou gets some good burn there.

This warms my heart. Hopefully they have a home and away this year and he can make them cry. ( more).

Happy to see he found a home with a decent team. I wish him the best.

They are also bringing in forward Jonathan Beagle, the 2023 America East Rookie of the Year at Albany.

This is awesome, good for him. Anyone have any insight on what we think his role gonna be? I’m assuming rotation piece. Can’t wait for him to be averaging 14ppg on 67% 3pt shooting thru two games and come back here crying that we let him get away

 

[SoCalCanine]

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!

 

[Hunt for 7]

I hope he tears it up. I actually am looking forward to watching him play in games. I wonder what role he plays I could see him being a match up problem on the offensive side at the three in that conference. But can he defend a 6’3” or 6’4” guard. I know I will be watching and rooting for him to do well.

 

[NJHoops]

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.

Paging Chris Fleming!

 

[Dibbie]

Happy for Glou. Will easily be my favorite non-Husky. Come to think of it, the only non-Husky I won’t despise.

 

[aburks41]

He’s going to cook A10 defenses. Happy that we finally will get to see him get real minutes

 

[JakeTheDog]

Wishing nothing but the best for Apostolos. Basketball aside he seems like a fun dude to hang out with. Go get it young man!

He will. Hes a good player we just simply didnt have playing time for him here with so much talent. I mean come on, look at Solo whos a big time talent and he had to sit behind 4 other guards. Crazy.

 

[NJHusky]

He’s going to cook A10 defenses. Happy that we finally will get to see him get real minutes

Maybe he comes back as a grad transfer

 

[Leebo]

Sorry, you came in 2nd!

Huh?

 

[Umami Zen]

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

They also beat 3 seed South Carolina one year as a 14 too.

[Hey Adrien!]

I'll be honest, when Roumoglou transferred, I didn't expect a program with the caliber and history of Richmond to be interested in him.

That being said, I really liked what I saw of him in the time he was here and was hoping that he stuck around to see his development continue. However, Mooney is an excellent offensive coach and I'm rooting for him and wouldn't be surprised if he flourishes in short order.

With 13 scholarships now filled, it'll be interesting to see where he fits in. The returnees are all bench pieces so there's a realistic chance all five of their transfers could start. Beagle (Albany) and Neskovic (Dartmouth) are penciled in to start in their frontcourt while White (Western Michigan) and George Washington III (Michigan) will compete with two returnees for backcourt starting spots.

At the very least, Roumoglou will be a backup 4 for Neskovic, but he's got enough "guard skills" to start or backup at the 3.

I cover a few Fordham games each season, so hopefully Richmond will visit Rose Hill during a game that can fit into my schedule.

I have a buddy out here in Chicago who went to Richmond 78-82. We watch a few Spiders games together every year. I’ll have a rooting interest now.
