Lots still to be ironed out but an interesting development for sure.

I’ll be shocked if Traore is not an upgrade over Rory (and probably Tyson to). Different game than Rory and Tyson. I hope he does bring something but hasn't shown it yet in the last 3-years. He did RS in 21-22. Yeah, to be clear, I'm not expecting huge things from him. Just more that I don't think ...

More on Whitford from his Ball State bio...some big time experience as an assistant and some very good recruiting classes. https://ballstatesports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/james-whitford/849 Whitford served four years on the staff at Arizona, including his final two as the associate...

He would seem to fit the criteria discussed last week...

EDIT: Also, I see STC threw out this name last week to. So shout out to them for potentially nailing this one!

Like...are we even URI fans? Some of you are so God damn miserable that I'm not sure you'd know how to be happy. If Archie gets us back to the tournament most of you should keep your mouths shut because you'll just find ways to explain how we should all be miserable regardless. Holy shit find anoth...

If he can rebound, play some defense, and be the hard working type player that Pitino described then that's good enough for me. Still more work to be done to finish off the roster.

adam914

Obviously he hasn't played much so it's hard to know what kind of an impact he'll have. But seeing stuff like this is at least encouraging. We need a couple of these types of guys badly. “You need one, two or three of those types of people on a basketball team, and Drissa is the consummate culture p...

So, this was our first trade. Specifics of the deal. March 2023: Rhode Island acquires Jaden House from High Point for a player to be named later. April 2024: Rhode Island's deal with High Point is completed as Jeremy Foumena is the player sent to High Point in the Jaden House deal from March 2023....

But I was told on here he was leaving to go P5 and chasing the money!

Hate to interrupt the daily doom spiral, but there is absolutely no reason to believe that it will or should be impossible for A10 programs like us to be consistently good. If you have the program infrastructure in place, the right coach, and can become a winning program that is attractive to player...

Here is my rushed and probably flawed list based on some very quick research of 2023 head coaches that lost their job and did not coach this year. I'm going to guess maybe Brian Gregory? Reunion of old Dayton coaches? Total speculation and guess on my part. I'm sure I either missed some guys or mis...

I'm hearing we've already hired KJ's replacement and he's already here recruiting... And no it was not an in house hire. I'd expect there to be an announcement in the next couple days Good to know, thanks for the info! I assumed that was the case. No reason to think Archie was going to just sit aro...

adam914

Ok, here is my conspiracy theory for the day...our friend RV has heard who the new assistant is, and it will fall in to category 3 listed below. He's putting this tweet out now to get out in front of it so he can say it was a bad hire once it's announced. :lol: https://twitter.com/RhodyVault/status/...

adam914

Full circle Back to labeling the good fans to worse fans by money contributing to paying a player - I consider those who pay players owners Now contributing to the university or if that player wants to commit to URI for the duration and honor his signing then I would reciprocate So do we have the w...

Has anyone noticed on Twitter there’s been a TON of new Rhody accounts made within the last couple weeks? Yeah, if you are referring to the same ones I am thinking of, they are all the same person/people and they just reply to each other and retweet each other (that's my theory at least). I had sta...

Gone are the days of Jarvis Garrett who could have been a started in many programs (and was here until Dowtin surpassed him). He stayed here to accept a good role on a talented team that went to 2 tourneys. He was here for 4 years and loved the school. He has said so. He made a best friend for life...

I feel like life as a Rhody fan is just figuring out how to exist in a constant state of between stages 2 and 4.

5 left. Who's next? 16 players on the '23-'24 roster (including walk-ons). 11 are gone. I'm not so sure this is a bad thing. Will need to see what the final roster looks like before we know for sure though. I think huge roster turnover EVERY year is a bad thing. Just my opinion. I'll bet that is Ar...

adam914

I do hope this is a sign that we'll be looking to play faster this year in general.

adam914

Kind of expected that one at some point. Felt like we didn't really have a spot for him to play his natural position/role. He always seemed to play hard and had some really good games. Best of luck with whatever comes next!

adam914

Ok - I know this has been asked before, but now with the "new" Rhode to Excellence being run by Stone, I'm donating what I can afford to both the Athletic Dept's director's fund and the NIL. I started my donation to the NIL about 6 weeks ago and initially am doing half of what I am donati...

adam914

Thanks for posting that, Adam. I have no idea if this step will slow the flow of transfers at all but I do wonder if this is a first step of several from the NCAA to try to slow the flow ? Yeah, I don't know if that's part of their reasoning or not. My guess would be probably not, but ultimately wh...

adam914

The NCAA also just announced some rules a few days ago regarding academic eligibility requirements in order to transfer and be immediately eligible. I'm surprised more people didn't notice this since so many people pretend to suddenly care about players education. :lol: https://www.ncaa.org/news/202...

I can't believe you think Jared Terrell is a quitter to then! Could not disagree more.

Football, football, football. I am really, really - started a few yrs ago - to dislike major college football, it’s major conferences, major schools and what it all represents. The north (Big 10) and the south (SEC) playing out the Civil War on the football field like it’s some sacred religion. I a...

Article https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/39974973/fedex-pledges-25m-5-years-nil-program-memphis We would need 10’s of thousands of $10/mo pledges to keep up.

adam914

There's a few things that give me hope: 1. They hired fans that worked on College Football Revamped, so they'll have fan voices not just in the room but actively working on it. 2. It's not just a reskin of Madden. If so it wouldn't be three plus years to bring it to market. 3. Unlike comparing this...

This is just a random thought and not related to any of the players mentioned in this thread...but it would be interesting to know how many players transfer because its their own decision and how many transfer because the coach essentially pushes them out. I know we'll never know that info for a who...

How clueless do you have to be to look at this whole situation and come away thinking the players are the ones who are greedy.

He was top 50ish coming out of high school. I don't think we even attempt to recruit that high anymore. Lucky if we see a top 150. How often were we pulling in top 50ish players before the rule changes anyway? Once or twice every 20 years or so? It's not like we were regularly racking up top 50 or ...
