New listing on the Ship basketball roster recently — Kamau Mitchell, a 6-5 guard who played his HS ball for Thomas Stone in Waldorf, Md. Apparently had a cup of coffee at Charleston and Frostburg before playing last year at Garrett Community College in Maryland. He's listed with junior eligibility on the roster.

Small ballclub. And even in recruiting and redshirting Jackson Boone, he's more of a swingman. They're probably going to have to slip some more playing time to Ty Holsopple, who is a grinder and plodder but can get off the ground at 6-3. He would always show off some dunking prowess in pregame drills.
This team absolutely has to be money from outside the arc to contend in the conference this time. And even then, I agree with Ship69 that they're not well-equipped to defend any wide bodies inside.

Looking at the roster, wow, that is a tiny lineup. Whippen plays more like a guard than a forward so it makes me wonder how they will handle the big lineups (and, they'll see a lot of them in the East).

ESU will have 7 new players including 5 Freshmen and 2 transfers. Cam Young is a 6'7" Forward who played at Bowling Green and St. Peter's. He has 2 years of eligibility left, and will be a solid replacement for Carlos Pepin. Jaheim Bethea from IUP played in 19 games last year, and will more than likely be the starting PG.

You guys had a very good rebounding team last year. Sleva and Nedrow, while not the typical 6'8" or so, were physically strong and hard to move around. Carter and Johnson could jump out of the gym.
Historically in the PSAC some of the best 'forwards' have actually been more in the 6'6" or 6"7" range and upward of 225 lbs -- most were deemed 'too small' to play in D1.
There's been exceptions up in that 6'9" range (the older Sleva, Cobo, Porterfield, etc.) but typically when the 6'9" (or taller) guys end up in D2 they have some serious flaws (and typically weigh about 185 lbs).

The worrisome thing to me is that if Whippen or a couple of guys such as Frank and Figueroa get into foul trouble they'll basically be playing all guards, and not particularly big guards at that. And I can't imagine how they'll be able to handle a guy such as IUP's Porterfield. They didn't have a big team last year, but Carter, Johnson, and Sleva to an extent all played bigger than their size. Carter, at 6-6, actually won more opening tip-offs than he lost. And Nedrow, while grounded, had the body type to bang around with the big guys. It's hard to believe they didn't plan to bring in another body or two. Maybe they weren't able to get one. The Cumberland Valley kid is fairly big, but they took him knowing he'd have a medical redshirt this season. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out and what strategy Fite uses this season. It doesn't seem likely you'll see a lot of the grinding halfcourt games at which Ship has often excelled the past few years. For sure this year's team has probably the most uncertain outlook since Fite's first year at the helm. They'd better pray the guys are making three-pointers this season.

I figured that was the old roster ruler thing. Even though he's more likely in the 6-6 or 6-7 range, he'll be the tallest player on the team in any case. Allen is probably the top newcomer, although he'll face the usual freshman adjustment period. He is probably a legitimate 6-2 0r 6-3, but has the wingspan of a much taller player. He looks like a player — has some wheels along with decent hops and can shoot.

Whippen is nowhere close to 6'9". That's hilarious.
That said, he's a decent player. Nice thing is this is his fourth school. You don't have to worry about him transferring after the season.
