The Game
Coming off a 69-45 win over Randolph College in its season opener, Liberty returns
to the Vines Center on Monday, playing host to Delaware. Liberty looks to avenge last
season’s 77-64 loss to the Blue Hens on New Year’s Day. Tipoff for Monday’s contest is
slated for 7 p.m., with the contest broadcasting live on the Liberty Flames Sports Network, ESPN3, MASN HD and the Big South Network.
What to Watch for
- When looking at the two rosters, the Flames and the Blue Hens combine for a total of
13 freshman. Liberty has seven freshman in its lineup, compared to six for Delaware.
- A.C. Reid was a cool customer in his Liberty debut against Randolph College, knocking down a trio of three-pointers to finish with 12 points. Reid’s point total marks the first
time a Liberty freshman has posted double-digit scoring figures in a season opener in
exactly six years. In Liberty’s season opener on Nov. 14, 2008, against Montreat, Seth
Curry finished with 23 points in the 97-77 victory.
- Gielo is poised to be a leader in every sense of the word for the Flames, this season.
This past Friday, the Polish player paced the Flames with 14 points and nine rebounds.
Gielo is hoping to do more of the same against Delaware, after recording 16 points against
the Blue Hens last season,
- The Blue Hens will be without Kyle Anderson due to a right hand injury. Anderson
is the only player on this year’s roster to post double-digit scoring figures against the
Flames, last season, finishing with 14 points.
- David Andoh had a solid debut for the Flames, Friday, finishing with 10 points and
eight boards. Look for Andoh to continue to be a staple in the Liberty lineup.
- Andrew Smith may not have had the day everyone expected on Friday, but there are
30+ games in a season. Expect Smith to bounce back, Monday night.
- Joe Retic hasn’t just settled into his role, he is owning it. The junior point guard concluded Friday night with five assists and zero turners in 25 minutes of action.

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

Gielo and Moller Compete for National Teams
During the summer, senior forward Tomas 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.
