Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
How can someone who is here for 1 year be a program changer? All it takes is one good season in this new landscape for the future of a program to make a 180. I agree with this statement to a certain degree. With all of the shifting and personal changes every year, I DO BELIEVE YOU CAN TURN A "...

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
Guys, keep our friend Rhody Vault in your thoughts tonight. He’s having a hard time heaping any praise at Arch or URI with this signing.
But Bryant picking up the kid averaging 3.3 a game from St Bonnie’s was great!

Re: URI Rhode to Excellence Poll
To me, donating to the NIL is kind of like making a campaign contribution. I may donate $100 bucks or whatever, but at the end of the day it’s the deep pockets that will drive any meaningful impact. You're not wrong, but if everyone on this board had the same opinion as you, it would matter a lot.
