2020 team doesn’t have anyone as good as SLY. As good as Fatts is, he is streaky. Sly wasn’t streaky he was either good or great! Every game and some times completely unstoppable!! He was freakish, especially back then. He was a 6’7 guard in a forward’s body,who could handle the ball and score from ...

We have to do what’s right for PeeCee! WAA!!
Like their going to learn a lot out of beating up on a cup cake!What an ass hat!!! PUSSY!!!

I absolutely enjoyed listening to Cooley whine on the news last night. Even better on a night we beat another BE team! Alabama absolutely throttled them last night. PC didn't want to play us. Watching the twins and Jermaine play so far we would have worn down Watson. I can't remember ever having so ...

Also, the Big East is going to play some conference games in December, and seems to be prioritizing those games more than non-league games.

Big east takes care of their own and unfortunately screw everybody else!!

Also if Wade did what he was accused of he needs to get hammered. Like banned for a good long time. Make an example of him and make it very public. Because if not some other school that can’t resist the chance to win at any cost will look the other way and hire him. I nominate him for entry into the...

A 6’7” 3 point shooter from the wing will really open up space inside for the bigs . Something we haven’t had for a while. That inside/outside threat is really hard to defend. As Rod would say “hard to guard”!! I wish he was here to see this frontcourt! He would be going crazy right now!!

When we looked at our COVID-positive athletes, whether they were symptomatic or not, 30 to roughly 35 percent of their heart muscles (are) inflamed, ” Sebastianelli said. “And we really just don’t know what to do with it right now. It’s still very early in the infection. Some of that has led to the ...

Don't look to Trump for science info. Not from a man who thinks research should be conducted to see if you inject a toxin (bleach , Lysol) into your veins it will cure Covid. Maybe he CDC should have thought about the fact that many, many people are to stupid to understand the concept of Comorbidity...

Maybe the waters of the mighty Mississippi aren’t the only thing flowing in Baton Rouge!!

Watched the video again after Reef's post. I see a lot of Ulmer in him . Can elevate, block shots, a decent out side shot and excellent quickness and a pretty good handle for a 6-7/6-8 forward . Like I said before at about the 1-2 minute mark he does a cross over at the elbow that almost puts the gu...

CHICO 78

There were a couple of crossover dribbles out by the elbow where he put
the defender covering him right on his ass!! Broke his ankles right off!
Nasty move!!

CHICO 78

I think the rule of thumb is subtract 1 “ minimum from stated height!

CHICO 78

He looks good. Athletic , quick first step, looks to have a nice stroke and can really elevate. Wish he was carrying a little more weight because He will get pushed around inside. Still he looks like a quick jumper and may be able to out quick opposing bigs to the ball. Looks like a quality addition...

I don't know if you are a mask wearer or not. But based on this statement I am going to assume that you are not. If that assumption is not correct than this doesn't apply to you. That being said this is applicable to many. As I stated in the beginning of my rant, if you do wear a mask than this doe...

I saw lots of people on video looting and rioting recently. Is that the"eyes"you are looking for? Cause most of those criminals haven't been arrested. 2 x I don't know if you are a mask wearer or not. But based on this statement I am going to assume that you are not. I that assumption is ...

I don’t think there is Any chance the NCAA makes the twins sit out 3 straight semesters of college basketball. Unfortunately , I don't think the NCAA gives a rats ass if the twins ever play let alone miss 3 straight semesters. I hope DC rams has some insider info and the twins are eligible but acco...

URI was on the way up for another year or 2 and then Jack Kraft got sick and
Claude English took over had one good season and the bottom fell out for a while.
Hard to say we would have continued to have the same success without Kraft.

Friendship had little to do with anything. Gavitt was as cold and calculating as an accountant. Every team was chosen to access a Major TV market and to monopolize the Rich recruiting of the north easts cities. URI wasn’t invited because PC already owned RI TV and we brought nothing to Gavitt’s crea...

Was listening to WEEI, wiggy brought up a good point. If we can pack the streets with thousands of protesters week after week, with And without masks with no spike in cases. Then why not allow fans to outdoor sport events? (With masks) While many people were not wearing masks, I was kind of shocked...

First of all , rhodyfan3000, God Bless you for your service to all of us. We would all be so screwed with out people like you.

Just a follow up to yesterdays mentions of Herd Immunity. [ quote] Fauci warned Sunday that the U.S. is not likely to achieve herd immunity to the corona-virus if a portion of the population refuses to get a vaccine once it's available. If enough people in a population are immune to a disease, gener...

CHICO 78

The only way you “get” immunity is to have either gotten sick and recovered or to have been vaccinated. There is no vaccine. You don’t transfer your antibodies to someone else without a blood transfusion. So people aren’t “getting” immunity . The reason things are better in the northeast is that peo...

Why Covid appears to be petering out at lower than expected herd immunity percentages Look at Arizona, Fla, Texas, California, etc. 36 states are showing a significant upswing in the spread of Covid. Florida has doubled their previous highs. Hospitals in the hot spots are close to or at maximum ICU...

CHICO 78

he concept of "herd immunity" generally takes generations to accomplish. And usually happens in conjunction with vaccinations. There is significant disparity in necessary levels and as you just stated if the immunity from infection is only 2 month herd immunity won’t ever be achieved with...

CHICO 78

We are not remotely close to “herd” immunity!!
The declines we are seeing are the results of social distancing, wearing masks, the shut down, and the slow methodical reopening.
Stop following this and the number of cases will increase! Don’t get complacent!

CHICO 78

I THINK THEY USE A DART BOARD TO DETERMINE THE ORDER ONCE THEY TAKE CARE OF THE P5'S!!

A LITTLE LOWER THAN MOST AT #44?!?! There are 43 players better than FATTS in the mid majors. NFW

The reason the fatality number is only 920 deaths IS BECAUSE OF THE SHUT DOWN not IN SPITE OF IT. Define compromised health, High blood pressure, obesity, diabetes , asthma. Copd, etc., etc. etc. and shutting down for 2 weeks would have been useless. It takes 2 weeks for Covid to run its course hens...

Yes he can shoot the ball. But he is not that athletic. Is he an elite defender?
We don't take shooters who can play tight man defense.
I have heard it said on this board that Jimmy Baron wouldn't have
on spot on our team now. He was a defensive liability. Why would
we take Ross. Just askin1!!

Coronavirus cases are increasing among people under 40 in Arizona, Florida, Minnesota, South Carolina, and Texas. Hospitalizations among young people are also increasing in Arizona and Florida. I obviously don’t want this to happen, but I fear until fatalities start to noticeably increase in that a...

As for the other chatter here, it is clear that COVID is worse than a bad flu season but it also is not nearly as bad as the headlines make it out to be. We will get through it with reasonable precautions and being ready to shut-down hot-spots in a moments notice. I love how people use the effectiv...

CHICO 78

So how long should we shut down? 2 or 3 years? Maybe more? They will not get a vaccine. I will eat crow if they get one , but since there has never been a coronavirus vaccine I'm not holding my breath. Although I heard Nov 3 may be the end of the rona. A number of company's were very close with SAR...

Johnson looked taller than Walker and was consistently hitting 3’s.

Maybe he grew and he’s 6’8-6’9 now. It will be nice to have a big wing raining 3’s . Really tough
To defend against that.

Maybe it's

The news is more spin than fact now. The liberal stations are puppets for the Dem's and Fox is a puppet for Trump and the GOP. As a former mayor of NY stated so eloquently. Fact isn't Fact!!!

We probably won't know the true death rate/ count until a few years from now.
Any way you cut it Covid-19 is significantly worse than the seasonal influenza
even with all the precautions that have been taken to slow the spread.

CHICO 78

Here in RI...our "state of emergency" has been extended until 7/5 ...why? Because we know the emergency won't be over til then? No... "so the state can remain eligible for federal resources" The two reports on the effectiveness of the shutdowns come with a clear warning that the ...

It's time for one of these P5 programs and their coach's to get the SMU Death penalty. They completely ignore NCAA rules, and in these cases some broke the law. Time for 1 or 2 of these programs to get blasted into the stone age. Scorched earth. The timing couldn't be better actually. A sign that th...

Top 200 isn’t really something to brag about...

I think you need to be top 64 to make the

With no twins or an additional big we will get abused inside! The only really successful 3/4 guard teams have had a stud big, tall guards and could absolutely kill it from 3 pts line!! That hasn't been our strength recently. When we played that way we had Stan at 6'4" and EC at 6'5. Pray for wa...

Would he be the highest caliber recruit (In terms of HS rankings) in URI history?

Probably second behind Lamar Odom who was top 5 overall if not #1 I think.

CHICO 78

A decision can be quick and not be the one you want to hear. I am also skeptical to we are going to get good news. I hope to be proven wrong!

CHICO 78

Nothing is a sure thing until it's a done deal, the paperwork is complete and the player is on campus.

You just never know! Sometimes the recruit gets off at the wrong train station!!

CHICO 78

Carey is a high level scoring guard with great attacking tools and the potential to be an equally impactful defender down the road but he'll either need to evolve into more of a true point guard or become a more consistent shooting threat from off the ball. So he's really a 2 guard who wants the ba...

CHICO 78

Hopefully he NCAA acts on it quickly one way or another.
The uncertainty of the twins status is probably keeping
an other potentially eligible bigs from signing up.
Hope the get their waiver but I don't like the odds.
Only time will tell.

CHICO 78

Cox probably reached out and was told don't bother he wants a shot at a P5
program. Don't waste your time. ( I don't know that for a fact just an
educated guess based on the list of suitors).

CHICO 78

I guess we will find out if it is indeed the blue print. If he gets his waiver everyone will try to copy it. If the NCAA says sorry that is not an acceptable reason please take a seat for 12 months then it is not. He may have avoided the dumb but still not made a compelling enough case. Only time wi...

CHICO 78

There has been some speculation that the reason the NCAA put the sit-out free transfers up for discussion in the first place is because they no longer want to go through all of the waiver requests. As we've seen in the past, being closer to home and coaching changes are not the only reasons why wai...
