Re: Rhody Rehab is Open
What's it going to take to get our shit together?
A pant load of money?
A new coach who doesn't play the pack line?
Any other ideas?

Down to 9 and at least 2 more leaving is my guess.
Would like it to be 8 since Luis is likely to leave.
Any less than 8 remaining will make it tough to bring all quality talent.
That NIL fund better be growing fast!

P5 teams have more money to offer than we do, in most cases anyway.
Those 2 are leaving not only for more money, but to join a program who is more likely to make the tournament.
That's what we and similar programs are up against.

UConn needed a game like that though. Get too cocky and it could bite them in the ass.

If he can't get enough talent here, whether it's due to money or just poor recruiting, then he wont be extended after year 4 and let go then.
The powers that be are giving him the chance to succeed here, but the leash wont be very long.
