To be fair

Doesn't seem like a ton of portal guys have committed yet..like across the country. Slow moving portal season.

I've been thinking lately If we had gotten our shit together this year and had more success, we probably don't return the core players we return. They were just inconsistent enough we can add solid pieces to compliment them and have a decent team next year. UMass had a decent year and they lost som...

Bottom line, in my opinion, is we have zero D1 point guards on the roster right now so I think we need two (I don't consider Kortright a true PG even if he does come back). How we end up getting there is anyone's guess! I'd go as far to say having Hammond + either of those portal PG's makes us a si...

PeterRamTime

So, if we get Lawrence, how long before Hammond decommits? Lol why would he? Because he sees his playing greatly reduced? For 2 years? That would mean that Archie and them already know that adding another PG would cause him to leave. Does Hammond expect to start and play 30+ minutes his freshman ye...

Lol why would he?

PeterRamTime

I'd prefer Coit over Lawrence since he's a PG. Even if he's off he's still pushing the pace and running the offense. Lawrence could maaaaybe play the 3, but if we got both maybe someone else leaves like Luis. Jamarques Lawrence is a PG. Idk why you say the 3. He came off the bench for Nebraska and ...

PeterRamTime

I'd say he is probably more talented...at least more athletic than any of our other guards.

I do think he's similar to Cam though.

Land him and Coit!

Even if he finds out he shouldn't be cryptic either.

None of this should be cryptic!

Thank you

Why Archie or our fans want to keep visits secret are dumb.

No one else does that.

PeterRamTime

The kids I think we are brining back the right group and the transfers we bring in need to fit it in a way that keeps our team from having the absurd meltdowns they experienced last year. Following the 3 game win streak with those debacles at St Bona and Dayton still puzzle me. Totally absurd how t...

PeterRamTime

Can't have a Rhody Vault post about us without negativity!

PeterRamTime

Hammond's coach speaks highly of Archie and how he sold Hammond on his vision for him. Yeah just because he doesn't like talking to media people doesn't mean he can't relate to basketball players. He definitely can, when he's talking about basketball. We don't know whether he can relate on a human ...

PeterRamTime

I'm hoping Archie isn't the lead recruiter. He doesn't possess the best people's skills. Once someone is on campus and Archie just has to talk basketball, I think he'd be good though.

PeterRamTime

I think we're reading way too much in to twitter followers. It can be a good indication of guys we might be recruiting but I wouldn't read much more in to it then that. When it comes to transfers, I would guess that Archie is the lead recruit in most cases, especially for the top targets. Yeah and ...

Tom 🏠 We'll then have two Houses ☺️ I would be more fine with him than I would Traore. Played a touch more and can legit shoot it. https://x.com/jamieshaw5/status/1775583213500399960?s=46&t=X3tFdRrojFvLeOstPVmZqw Rhode Island might of contacted since, can’t confirm though. Yeah im just basing t...

Cunningham is also following a 6'7 200lb wing from FSU Would be a junior next season. Hardly played at all in two years at FSU, but looks like he can really shoot it nonetheless.

Big time upgrade from Tyson

PeterRamTime

Yup, that's part of the reason I'm not that high on him. He's a junior but he's behind regarding his development. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. I don't see how he gets minutes this year unless we lose more players. Luis, Cam, House, Hammond, and hopefully Coit would all play over...

PeterRamTime

I hope we can do better personally. You push Bassy out, but keep this kid? It doesn't make much sense to me. He's going to be a junior next year. It's not like this is a young guard. If we're going to give a scholarship to a junior point guard, I would hope that point guard is good enough to be par...

PeterRamTime

Two players should not be on our team next year: Wright and Traore. They are low-major players. However, I'm completely confused about why people wouldn't get excited about Manyawu. This reminds me of the people who were negative about Green when he also put up decent numbers in the conference USA....

Manyawu

Short centers forever

The Rhody Way

PeterRamTime

Manyawu is a very good rebounder, and shot 60 percent from the field. Excluding Bilau's small sample size, Manyawu's per 40 stats from Wyoming would have led out team last year in rebounds... And steals, which I realize is damning with faint praise, because we didn't have anyone that could pressure...

PeterRamTime

Still not announced?

PeterRamTime

Traore and Manyawu do not move the meter Traore hasn't played and basically plays the same position as DG and Farrell. If he plays at the 5 he is undersized. Manyawu looks about 6'8, good athlete, but needs weight. Better than Tyson, but again, undersized and average skill. Please tell me they aren'...

PeterRamTime

Yeah would probably only add him for a final roster spot. DG back up that would maybe be pretty good by 25-26

We will reload. Trust. Give me some names. If people on here know names...they need to give us the nuggets I really don't get why some people think it's a secret. Every single one of these portal players are being coveted by several schools. It's literally not a secret! It's normal to know who your...

He had 9 and 9 against Kentucky. Kentucky's problem was Erik Reynolds, who dropped 28. It was a great game. Also, we have a freshman big man who averaged 8 and 6. I know some of you think Fuchs sucks, but if you're going to drool over this kid, I'm going to bring up Fuchs numbers. They had a very s...

PeterRamTime

If we had gotten him we would be thrilled. You guys always say bigs take time to develop. Looks like his numbers were pretty good for a freshman big. Hey at least we're doing a good job of observing the "quiet period" Yeah I would be thrilled with him. When we played him was his second ga...

What was fascinating was how good UConn guards were on both defense and offense. This was masterful display of the UConn's staff's understanding of how to play Edey and limit the three point shooting of Purdue. Purdue guards did not measure up UConn's and they scored a combined 17 points. That does...
