That's what I'm saying. We'd better get at least 2, maybe 3 good players at the 4 and 5. And they don't have to big scorers. That would be a bonus. Good rebounders, good defenders, at least 1 rim protector . Right now, if you put our roster in their natural positions, we have: PG:2 SG:3 SF:2 PF:0 C...

The Greek kid is listed as a guard. Yeah but he's 6'8. I'd figure he'd inevidently be matched up with with some bigger guys on the wing/inside by virtue of being 6'8. Fuchs is 6’9” not 6’7” Sit at floor level and compare Fuchs to Foumena, Brown, Green, Stewart and Bilau he fits with their listed he...

You flat out admitted a few days ago that half your posts are just to troll people.

I was being kind at 8-12. Our big problem last year was defense. How has that improved? We blocked very few shots last year. Only 3 guys had double figures in blocks for the entire season. All 3 of them are gone. Of our returning players, the leaders from last year are tied......with 8! Fuchs and H...

I think he's just trying to troll at this point. His comments are reaching Rhody72 levels. At least 72 was funny. Anyone who watches sports knows that college players typically improve and develop once they become juniors or seniors. You'd have to be a complete idiot not to understand that. The fun...

Even though I start almost every post about Bassy by saying I like Bassy, I get accused of bashing him because I don't think he gets is anywhere near where we want to be. So where do we finish with him as our PG? Somewhere between 8-12? We are happy about that in year 3 of Archie? I've heard things...

After multiple horrible years and losing our top recruit, if our plan G was landing the leading scorer of the American East, I think that's great. If he wasn't named Sebastian Thomas, I think we'd have a lot more excitement about landing a guard who dropped 30-40 in multiple games. But for some rea...

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...

Still far less pathetic than watching an Albany basketball game. Get more hobbies Aren't we all college basketball fans? You never watch any low majors? Do you watch anyone but URI? By that logic it's pathetic to watch URI basketball lol. I also never watched a FULL Albany game during the season. I...

PeterRamTime

I wouldn’t expect that to be a back court guy. It would seem hard to compel an impact guard to come here given how many bodies we have there that will see minutes. So if we say House is our most explosive guard then I don’t think it’s likely we bring in a better option than him. Feel like there is ...

PeterRamTime

Why the fuck would I watch Albany basketball games? They went 5-11, second to last, in a bad conference, I've got better shit to do with my time.

Due to his turnovers Thomas is incapable of being a competent floor general. It doesn't matter if he goes up the floor at the speed Archie wants if it's going right back down the other way even faster when the opponent gets a fast break off of his mistakes.

Did you actually watch a single game of his all year? If not, watch the Albany Vermont game and explain how he will suck here surrounded by House, Cam, Green, Lawrence and Fuchs?

Irv Chatman https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/irv-chatman-1.html He was a defensive force and rebounder on the '78 team. He didn't have to score a lot. We had Sly Williams, Jiggy Williamson and Stanley Wright, 3 all-time greats, for that. Averaged 1.4 pts per game at TN. Was not a big co...

PeterRamTime

Yeah it's depth guys that are left. Having 3 core guys who've played together, and a bench guy who has, is a key these days. For some reason I think people are dismissing how much Green being out of basketball/practice and not expecting to play this year affected him and the team. I expect a big ju...

Money or not, it's a hard job for Miller to attract talent here. Recruits know we suck and have sucked for a while. Might mean we have to offer more than our peers to get players here. It's not just about playing time anymore. We have to somehow have enough success to make it easier to recruit. It'...

PeterRamTime

The only good tournaments URI seems to get into more recently seem to be restricted to when it plays at Mohegan Sun. Unfortunately that can only happen every four years. Given we are coming off four straight losing seasons and do not travel well outside this area, we are not really a desirable team...

Every game archie was waving to push the pace and luis just didnt do it and looked like he was sucking air. He had a high floor which was a good contrast to the rest of the team but Archie always praised bassy for how fast he is so i am thinking its pretty clear what archie is looking for. Luis was...

Now we have Bassy and Always! Bwuhahah

PeterRamTime

Remains to be seen if it was an upgrade or downgrade but it was clear that at least 1 was going to go portaling from current back court after adding 2. My preference would have been Ways, but my #2 would be Luis. Too much of a tweener and we have better options at the 2 and 3 spot. I think Luis lea...

PeterRamTime

https://x.com/jamieshaw5/status/1782434292892590487?s=46 Kinda saw that coming. Wish him the best! Thomas and Lawrence at PG is an upgrade. Even if Ways is back too, he will be a better player. Won't have to rely on him though. It was hard to see how Luis worked out here considering the moves we ma...

It is hard not to like Bassy’s attitude, desire to play for us -his hustle, his improvement, his ability to run through a wall for his team and the intangibles that he brings to the team. That being said, my question is where does he stand compared to the other A10 guards that we compete against. H...

I really hope Bassy has been on the phone trying to recruit Miranda. I would think he would have some good selling points. That could get me excited for next year. We really need some more positive additions to keep us all out of Rhody Rehab. It would be a lot of fun having 2 RI kids helping us get...

PeterRamTime

Also, this is not a knock on Hammond as I was excited to see him play here and develop, but since when did a true freshman PG lead a team to a title of some sorts? And yes, in high school games Hammond was pressuring the ball very well. Doesn’t mean he’d be effectively doing that from day 1 in a gu...

I like the Lawrence pickup Not sure how I feel about Thomas. Can see pros and cons to it but willing to see how rest of roster shapes up. What you need in this league is 2-3 dogs and then role guys.

I don’t understand how we would lose more guards. Teams need at least 4/5 guards. Yeah Bassy is the only guy who would solely play the PG. Ways is def left out. Luis/JLaw can play 1-3. They'd provide spot duty along with playing the 2 and 3 with Cam and House. The only thing is the wing player we g...

I said "our record". I stand by that. Do you stand on business? There were several games, but the one I can think of right away is the game we beat UMass and Cross was out. I'm pretty sure that's a loss if Cross plays. And like I said, there were a few like that. We don't lose to UNH, Del...
