He's better than Always.
And he plays hard all the time. Guys like him can set an example for his teammates.

Re: URI Rhode to Excellence Poll
We have 3 very wealthy boosters, who I'm sure comprise the lions share of outside financial support for this program.
We are fortunate to have them, since we have a small fan base compared to similar sized schools.

We certainly haven't been too good against UNH lately on the court.
And Vermont would have wiped the floor with us if we had played them last season.
Back in the day we routinely blew those teams out and scored in triple digits often.

Vaguely. Central was SK's biggest rival back then.
They were the school that snapped the 56 game winning streak, but SK did go on to win the state title again though.

The only way he comes back here is as a HC.

Everything depends on it.
How confident are we that it will be enough to turn things around?
Until I see it I can't expect anything. That's just the way it is.
