I agree Kortright didn't push the pace but he had 117 assists and averaged 4 rebounds a game. He didn't suck and whether Bassy will be better is up in the air. I did not want Luis to leave, but to be fair I didn’t want Bassy to leave last year either. I do think Bassy is a better fit for uptempo an...

Has anyone noticed on Twitter there’s been a TON of new Rhody accounts made within the last couple weeks? No. We all have jobs, families and other things to do. This may be the biggest hardo comment on the year so far. 😂 God forbid I click on Rhody tweets responses! And see new Rhody fan accounts! ...

Yes, he was too slow on defense, but his physicality on the offense end created mismatches and was a big bonus for us. Compare that to Thomas who is even slower on defense and doesn't create any mismatches on offense. We severely downgraded. I honestly have no idea what Archie's vision is at this p...

steveystuds06

I'll definitely be getting season tickets. I actually think we already have a better team right now and Archie isn't done. I still believe he'll turn this around.

We may have the worst fanbase in America. Truly.

steveystuds06

I thought Luis actually was 1 of the only guys who pretty much performed at or above what you would have expected coming in from QU. But he has limitations and he was going to command minutes. Higher floor lower ceiling type profile. Just too slow to stick with/get by A10 guards on a consistent bas...

Miranda is so raw. I'd rather we land a proven big that will help us right away. I want the best possible team next year at this point. I'm done worrying about potential. I want to have games that matter to us again in March. I miss waking up and thinking to myself Rhody has a huge game today. I sta...

I put this in another thread too - I have been mentally preparing myself for this the past 36 hours since I heard. Even 3 years ago with David Cox, we said the kid was a good, fast, pure PG with good court vision and great ball handling. He just lacked the size or offensive capabilities to be a bon...

Luis and Always have to be leaving. House, Always, Luis, Thomas, Lawerence, Cam is a logjam. You’d expect Luis/Always would be getting minimal minutes now. Lawerence and Thomas didn’t come here to be bench pieces. House isn’t staying to come off the bench. That leaves Cam as the 4th guard? He can’t...

steveystuds06

Imho this is how it’ll go: JL,LK,JH as the three starting guards ST and CE as the backups I don't see Cam staying here if he's not starting. Isn't he the one player most of us agreed we needed to keep the most? No, I thought Fuchs...but I as much as I 'like' basketball, I don't know that much about...

Bassy will have a more productive year this year than Hammond. Mark it down. What is production? Do wins and losses count towards production? In this case, I'd go with mpg, ppg, rpg, and assists per game. Others may differ... Yeah, I think this idea that Hammond will come into D1 and go off right a...

steveystuds06

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. I disagree, Billy. We wer...

Loving the people who now are like “eh, never really wanted Hammond anyways, too short, would've taken too long to develop and adjust, give me a more experienced player” when for MONTHS they were salivating at Hammond coming here.

At the end of the day, Blueman wants us to win. If Bassy goes off, he'll be incredibly happy. Also, he's right. Bassy was pretty bad for us, and he took a ton of shots last year. This is definitely a risk, but I think he will be a good player for us. Let's see what happens.

steveystuds06

A tough day for the Ways is better than Bassy people here. Bassy is now the best true point guard on the team. When I watched him last year, I saw that he appeared leaner and faster. His handling improved, his finishing improved, his runner improved, his shooting form looked better, and his defensiv...

We need bigs so, get Apotoslos in for a visit/workout IF he is open to it. What do we have to lose ? If he played for Dan, I have to think he has a good attitude and is a hard worker.

Anyone know anything about the kid from Greece that was at UConn? He’s now in the portal . 6’8” 215 lbs. I have a lot of close friends that are diehard fans of UConn. A few of them texted me a few days ago and said we are in the mix for him. They said whenever he played he was $$ from 3 but only pl...

I just watched a Traore vid and interview while he was at SJ. He looks the part of a good big: tall, chiseled, moves his feet well. But his lack of production doesn’t align with his measurables. So what’s the deal with him ? Low basketball IQ ? Low motivation ? Can’t take good coaching ? Is he a la...

Loyola is doing what I thought Archie would do. They are killing us so far. Hopefully, that will change. Is it really fair to compare ourselves to them? They had one bad year after a bunch of key players graduated and got right back on track. Their program was waaaaay healthier than ours. I know so...

steveystuds06

This kid holds on long enough and he could start Does this mean you're not hearing any buzz about players coming in? We are definitely recruiting players but Farrell has the tools to be a good player. He's a fantastic defender, and I hope he sticks around. I agree with Iggy. If he can develop on th...

Keep in mind he averaged 6 Ppg off the bench. Everyone thought Weston would be a star because he came from Seton Hall. He did very little. I think Lawrence is going to be a good player, but is not a star and surrounded by a below average guard group we aren’t winning whether Lawrence is here or Ham...

steveystuds06

Hammond in a second. He would have been the future if they could have kept him somehow for 4 years For one year? Lawrence, without question. Lawrence is a better player right now. You want Hammond because he could have developed into an all-conference guard. He wasn't going to be that next year. I ...

steveystuds06

Lamar Odom played for one year. How much did he change the program? I think it's different when a program like ours lands one of the best NBA prospects in the country. Someone like that can make a big difference for one year. As much as we all love Ben Hammond, he's not a one-and-done guard who's g...

steveystuds06

Looks like Archie saw this coming with the Recruitment of Lawrence. I didn't really understand (still don't) the excitement over an undersized freshman point guard to come in and play a key role. He may turn into a star someday, but chances are slim to none it's happening as a freshman. It's mostly...

https://twitter.com/rhodyvault/status/1780402712288583775?s=42 Idk, I think a decommit from a 4 star freshman would say otherwise. You were going to have Hammond or Lawrence, not both. For one year...who do you take? Hammond in a second. He would have been the future if they could have kept him som...

steveystuds06

I didn’t think Hammond was coming so I’m not surprised. I won’t form an opinion until I see the final roster. Lawerence was a great get. I wish Hammond the best.

What a fucking waste of time watching him play…. College basketball sucks.

At least I get to see my Lakers get swept by the Nuggets now.

steveystuds06

Awesome! Unlike guys like Weston and Alex this kid has actually made an impact at the high major he's coming from. Great job by Archie. We finally get some good news.

steveystuds06

Ouch.. We can't compete with those programs

steveystuds06

And Malik Mack commits right after they announce Kenny...just a coincidence, I guess...... Yup, the rumor for weeks was that KJ was taking a great player with him to Gtown. Let's see how we respond after losing our top assistant.. Until we see the final roster, I expect Archie to build a better tea...

Luis was the most clutch player on our team. He was a leader and had some great games. I don't think he's a starter on a top-four A10 team, but having a guy who can run the point and play off the ball is great.

steveystuds06

We don't want him here if Hammond decides to bail because he has to fight to start or be a key piece off the bench. Every player should earn their spot. I don't think Hammond would have to worry too much. He is still the only true point guard on this roster. I'm not counting Ways because he won't pl...

steveystuds06

If Hammond is still coming, I don’t think we would land both Coit and Lawerence. Lawrence is more of the player we lacked last year. Coit is another dude who can get you 25 any night but takes a lot of shots, and if he’s cold, he doesn’t affect the game. Lawrence is solid on both ends. He has played...

Nice!

Depends how much of a jump Cam makes this year. But he’s definitely better than the Cam we had last year.

He had a solid year in the big10 and had some good games against legitimate competition. I’d be very happy to land him.

steveystuds06

Exactly. And is everyone going to demand that we pay whatever school our new coach comes from to? Well, it doesn't appear that we have a new coach during this critical time involving the portal. Instead, we're paying a guy to recruit elite players to another school. If it's true that Kenny has been...

Don’t give up on Wright yet, don’t rely on him either, he is the kind of athlete who may figure it out eventually. If he does he will be a good player. I no issue filling out the bottom third of the roster with “low major” players who work hard and may improve to be more. I had no issue keeping Ror...

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.
