North Florida OSPREYS
(1-3)
Cancun, Mexico - Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya - 4 p.m. (EST)
The Game
The Liberty men’s basketball team heads to Cancun, Mexico on Tuesday, competing in
the first of two neutral site games in the Cancun Challenge. The Flames will square off
with North Florida, marking the first-ever meeting between two squads. Liberty looks to
rebound from back-to-back losses, while the Ospreys are also on a two-game skid. Game
time is slated for 4 p.m. (EST) with the contest streaming on College Sports Live.
What to Watch for
- Senior forward Tomasz Gielo enters Tuesday’s contest with 699 points. He is currently
39th on Liberty’s all-time scoring list.
- Things are looking up for Andrew Smith after rebounding from a tough start to the season on Saturday. After averaging below 4.0 ppg in the first three contests, Smith finished
the game with 13 tallies, including 11 in the first half.
- After hitting six or more three pointers in each of the first three games, the Flames finished Saturday night with just three treys. Defensively, Liberty is holding its opponents to
27.9 percent (19-of-68) from downtown.
- Liberty had 48 assists in its first three games, the most during the span since the 2011-12
season (51). However, against Miami (Ohio), Liberty finished with seven assists, all coming courtesy of Joe Retic’s career-high performance. Expect Liberty to spread the wealth
more, Tuesday.
Cancun Notes
- The Flames’ appearance in the Cancun Challenge marks the program’s first trip to Mexico. Liberty’s women’s basketball team previously played in Cancun during the 2006-07
season. The Lady Flames were part of the Caribbean Classic, squaring off with TexasArlington and Pittsburgh.
- Liberty is competing in the Mayan Division of the Cancun Challenge and will face
either Morgan State or Elon in its second game in Mexico.

Notes from Liberty’s game vs. Miami (Ohio)
The Liberty men’s basketball team continued stateside play in the Cancun Challenge,
Saturday afternoon, taking on Miami University (Ohio). Despite the Flames leading early
in the second half, the RedHawks found some momentum midway through the stanza to
pick up the 63-52 decision.
With the defeat, Liberty fell to 2-2 on the season. Miami moved to 2-1, leading the alltime series with the Flames, 3-0.
After averaging 3.7 ppg the first three games, Andrew Smith led the Flames with a
season-high 13 tallies and seven rebounds in a game that was tightly contested for the
majority of the matchup. The Flames also had three players finish with nine points –
Tomasz Gielo, Joe Retic and James Johnson. Retic also dished out a career-high seven
assists.
Geovonie McKnight led Miami with 19 points, including 15 in the second half. Will
Sullivan followed up with 12 tallies.
Miami shot 40.0 percent (20-of-50) for the contest, compared to 38.6 percent for the
Flames.
Layer Announces Three for Signing Day
Dale Layer has announced the signing of Robin Jorch, Jakub Karwowski and Caleb
Homesley for the 2015-16 academic year. Jorch will come to Liberty on a scholarship
agreement, while Karwowski and Homesley each signed national letters of intent.
Jorch (F, 6-9, 235, Berlin, Germany) will make his way to the Hill City after training
at the International Berlin Basketball Academy as member of RSV Eintracht Stahnsdorf,
where he was the second leading scorer (12.0 ppg) and rebounder (5.3 rpg). Jorch spent
four years with the German National Team, playing in various European Championships
held in Montenegro, Poland, Lithuania and Greece. A NBBL U19 All-Star selection, Jorch
was also a member of the German Youth Championship team.
Karwowski (F, 6-11, 200, Kanie, Poland) comes to Liberty with a similar background
as current Flames senior forward and captain Tomasz Gielo, who also attended SMS
Cetniewo Sports Academy in Poland. The Sports Academy, coached by Marcin Klozinski,
regularly attracts the top Polish players, where only the elite in the country are invited to
attend the exclusive academy. He is currently under consideration to make the U20 team
for next summer.
Homesley (G, 6-4, 175, Indian Trails, N.C.) averaged 19.7 points and four assists per
game during his junior year at Porter Ridge High School under head coach Jim Rhodes.
In his two varsity seasons with the Hawks so far, Homesley had a combined average of
14.0 ppg.
James and Theo Johnson Eligible for 2014-15 Season
Liberty Men’s Basketball Head Coach Dale Layer has announced transfers James
Johnson and Theo Johnson will be eligible for the 2014-15 season. Both players received
waivers from the NCAA to take the court with the Flames, this upcoming year.
James Johnson (F, R-Sr., 6-10, 245, San Diego, Calif.), a transfer from San Diego
State, played 17 games for the squad, last season. The Aztecs reached the Sweet 16
before falling to No. 1 seed Arizona during the 2014 NCAA Tournament. The forward averaged over nine minutes a game, finishing with 31 points (1.8 ppg) and 25 rebounds (1.5
rpg) on the year. His point total included a season-high eight points in a 90-64 win over
Mountain West foe San Jose State on Feb. 25.
During the 2012-13 campaign, James Johnson became eligible in midseason, playing 13 games for the Aztecs. He sat out the 2011-12 season after transferring from Virginia. As a member of the Cavaliers, the California native played six games, averaging 1.5
points and 1.3 rebounds.
Theo Johnson (G/F, Jr., 6-7, 205, Sacramento, Calif.), a transfer from College of
Charleston, appeared in 30 games last season with the Cougars, averaging 1.7 ppg and
1.5 rpg. During his freshman year, he played in 33 contests, averaging 2.8 ppg and 1.5
rpg, while finishing third on the team in blocks with 27. His blocked shots total ranked
10th in the Southern Conference that season and third among the league’s freshmen. In a
matchup at Wofford on Jan. 26, 2013, Theo Johnson finished with a career-high 12 points
on 4-of-6 shooting, knocking down 3-of-4 shots from beyond the three-point arc.

Flames Scoring
Liberty’s graduating seniors and other departures from last year’s squad accounted
for 64 percent of the Flames’ scoring. Tomasz Gielo is the top returning scorer, averaging
10.9 ppg, last year.
Gielo and Moller Compete for National Teams
During the summer, senior forward Tomasz Gielo and freshman guard Peter Moller
competed in the 2015 Eurobasket 2nd Qualifying Round for their respective national
teams.
Gielo played in five games for Poland, averaging 3.6 points and 2.0 rebounds per
game. Gielo enters this season coming off his best year at Liberty in 2013-14. The Poland
native was the team’s leader in rebounds with 5.9 rpg, while chipping in 10.9 ppg. Gielo
posted a career-high 20 points on three occasions, doing so at home against Princeton
(Jan. 4) and the Flames’ pair of games against Longwood (Jan. 22 and Feb. 25). The
senior enters the year with 640 career points, which ranks him 43rd on Liberty’s all-time
scoring list.
Moller competed in the tournament as a member of the Denmark national team, appearing in four contests.
Prior to coming to Liberty, Moller played as a combo guard for Vaerloese-Denmark,
while completing his education through Falkonergaardens High School. This past season,
he concluded the year as the second leading Danish scorer in the league at 15.2 ppg,
while averaging 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Moller also posted
double scoring figures in 25-of-28 games, including a season-high 29-point performance.
In addition to his club level experience, Moller competed in 50-plus games with the
Danish National Team in international competition against some of the best teams in Europe. Along with finishing as the leading scorer in the 2012 Nike International Euroleague
Competition, Moller was also named MVP of the Nordic Championship. Moller recently
received the Youth Player of the Year Award for all of Denmark, awarded to the country’s
top young talent.
Gielo, Layer and Retic Voted Team Co-Captains
Liberty Men’s Basketball Head Coach Dale Layer has announced that senior forward
Tomasz Gielo, redshirt junior guard Ethan Layer and junior guard Joe Retic will serve as
the team co-captains for the 2014-15 season. The trio was selected by a team vote.
“[Tomasz, Joe and Ethan] have all grown in their unselfishness and are thinking about
the team first rather than themselves,” Layer said. “I think our current players realize that
and thought those were the guys they wanted to follow. I’m very excited about that because I think it is well deserved.”
Fun Facts
(Special thanks to Alan York - LFSN radio play-by-play)
- While A.C. Reid is billed from Spring Branch, Texas, he originally grew up in Virginia
Beach, Va. Both of his parents played basketball at Norfolk State.
- Born and raised in Alaska, freshman guard Calvin Hoffman spends his summers helping
his family fish commercially for red salmon.
- While he says their styles of play aren’t the same, freshman center Evan Maxwell’s
favorite NBA player growing up was none other than Vince Carter. Maxwell did not begin
playing basketball until he was in ninth grade.
- Freshman forward Ezra Talbert originally received an offer to play at Creighton before
eventually signing with Liberty.
- Despite being from California, Theo Johnson received more offers from east coast programs coming out of high school. During his time at College of Charleston, Johnson was
known as “The Circus,” a nickname given for his high-flying abilities.
- Liberty has three international players on its roster this season – Tomasz Gielo (Poland),
Peter Moller (Denmark) and David Andoh (Canada). Prior to coming to Liberty, Andoh
played at San Jose State and Merritt College.
- Although Peter Moller is listed as a freshman, he is currently 20 years old. The Denmark
product attended an Olympic style program that combined academics and high level athletics, which prolonged his high school career.
- David Andoh and assistant coach Vince Walden are no strangers to one another. Prior to
Andoh playing at San Jose State, Walden coached the forward at IMG Academy.
