Sorry about that...I fixed it, thanks for the heads up. Sorry Giant fan.I obviously don’t know who does what that are members of this board. In any event, thanks Yeah, neither do I. After you posted, I went and checked and it was fixed, so I thought I might as well take credit for it. You're welcom...

Incorrect. That was last year. He transferred during training camp this year. Just didn't have much of a chance with Jarrett Guarantano returning for a fifth year, even though he is an abomination at QB, two sophomores who started for the Vols in 2019 and Harrison Bailey a five star freshman. As lo...

PeterRamTime wrote: ↑3 years ago However, the Vols were abysmal at QB this past season and Kasim wasn nowhere near contention for any playing time.

So don't expect too much from him...

He couldn't compete for playing time because he was not eligible to play due to transfer rules. He was their scout team QB for the year.

Shane D

Good catch, Rhody Blue. It has been fixed. My fault.

The DiSano interview he posted game is also on yurview cox channel 4. Any confirmation on that?

This is confirmed. The game will be carried live on Cox/YurView (Ch. 4). It will be shown on delay at 8 p.m. on Cox Sports (Ch. 479).

Every year, but it's a limited slate that is not considered as part of the overall record.

Shane D

He was an intern with me as an undergraduate student, and is currently doing the work as a volunteer for the football program.

There are efforts in motion to try and secure part-time pay. He wants to build his portfolio, which is already an impressive body of work.

Shane D

Not sure where to put this, but recently saw some data on active social media accounts amongst FCS schools. Rhody is ranking in the top 10 of all programs in terms of eyeballs reached, likes/shares, retweets, etc. Punching way above our weight based on our on field success but a heckuva job by the ...

Shane D

I can't say much, other than I fully anticipate making updates to the roster.

Shane D

Hi McRam, Yes, that is correct. The office of Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity and Diversity that reviews every applicant pool for every state job at the University. It is a two-person staff, and every candidate pool/official offer must be approved by one of the two people. It is separate from ...

Shane D

Hi all, Because of state procedure policies, there are limitations to what can be said, but I wanted to try and help clear up a couple things. Earlier this offseason, there was a job posting that many of you saw. This was for Kevin Sutton's position. Because of the timing of having to put together t...

Shane D

Not here to comment on the search (it's ongoing, so commenting is not allowed), but head coaches don't start with one-year contracts in any sport.

That claim is inaccurate, to say the least.

Shane D

Odd timing for an article like this to come out. Sometimes folks look too deep into things, but here is how this piece came about. We have a number of students who intern with us. Jordan (who wrote the story) was tasked with interviewing Christion and coming up with a feature story. He did the inte...

Shane D

I don’t really want to talk about what happened in the game, I want to talk about the fact that the radio said Dayton needed to get on a flight so they had to go first aka URI wouldn’t hit the podium while most fans were still listening to the show. That’s a lie. You are telling me that Dayton, who...

Shane D

Other questions for Shane...are they targeting a transfer or 5th year QB? Also a progress report on new coaching staff hires...it's already getting late in the game. Need staff fully in place by spring practice I would think. Some of the new staff is in place, but there are various reasons they can...

Shane D

Ramster, In terms of the 2018 class, it was significant in that 12 freshman from the signing class were able to redshirt, with most of the class getting its feet wet with some experience, thanks to the new four-game rule. The thought is this should pay major dividends down the road. Here is a quick ...

Shane D

I looked back at the class they announced in Feb. 2017 (next season's juniors). Of the 18 players, 9 never played for URI best I can tell. Only three players have worked out so far: Tyler Burke (Md transfer; graduated), C.J. Karrick (FG kicker), Isaiah Coulter. Miles Gardea, juco LB played but neve...

We actually were ranked 25th in 2005 when we started 3-0 http://gorhody.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/092005aaa.html Good catch, Rhowdy. I did not know about that one. Makes sense though. Last season when we got votes following the Central Michigan game, I reached out and asked the folks at STATS th...

Yes. The game is the CAA Game of the Week for Fox Sports Go. I don't have the direct link yet, but once I do, it'll be on GoRhody.

The stream will be free this week.

UNH had 32 rushes for a total of -7 yards. Negative net rushing. Can’t remember ever seeing that in any level football game. Maine dominated UNH in all facets of the game. We held Albany to -7 rushing last season. Also held Villanova to 1 yard. Happens more often than you'd think, because sacks and...

Shane D

Hal, you are right that big losses like that usually cause teams to drop out. But, to be fair, UNH lost its QB in the second quarter. He was the league's preseason Offensive Player of the Year. That and 14 straight playoff appearances will cause voters reason to give a team some leeway.

Shane D

The money doesn't really add up to me. They say this project will cost $4.1 million dollars, but they only show where $3.1 million is coming from. I wonder where the other $1 million is coming from. Also, I thought lights and turf was more of an approximately $2 million project, so what is the rest...

Shane D

Thank you for the heads up on the UConn game. That one obviously is not a conference game and is fixed now.

Shane D

Hi all,

I know you all are waiting. Schedule will be released this morning. Just getting final checks and edits. Some of the questions that have been asked by you all regarding specific games will be addressed.

Shane

Shane D

The full schedule should be any day now. There are a couple games contracts being finalized. July 1 will be about right. With the staffing stuff, just about every position on the staff had to be posted and go through the proper state job search protocols. It wasn't just the two spots that opened whe...

Shane D

Hi all, There were a few items I wanted to address, but I had trouble with my log in, so my apologies. In terms of announcing the staff, we are in a holding pattern for a variety of reasons, but the bottom line is that we can not officially announce for a little while. I assure you all, Coach Cox ha...

That will be up to the host schools. If they are streaming, the links will be added to our schedule.

Hey Shane, first off, thanks for confirming this for us out of staters. It is greatly appreciated! My only request, is please please please try and get whoever produces the stream to stop using that under the basket camera angle from last year!! :) This year we are just using the midcourt camera.

Shane D

In previous years, it was a pay stream. This year, with the limited number of home games not on national television, we will be able to make the streams free. Please understand the streams will not blow anybody away from a production standpoint, but we are providing a way for games to at least be se...

Shane D

Hi all,

Jerrell is part of the staff and is listed on the roster page now. Some of the delays were related to compliance and how everyone should be listed. As you can imagine, we also are in a bit of transition with Mike leaving, but things should get caught up shortly.

Shane

Shane D

Both sides of the line have looked solid thus far. The D-Line is a little deeper and more experienced at this point, and the key on the offensive side will be maintaining the health of the top 5-6 guys. The encouraging thing on both sides of the line is how many practices the same groups have been t...

Shane D

Yes, both of the new guys look the part of college quarterbacks. Different styles, but both can clearly play.

Shane D

Bryant has looked pretty good since the switch. He's definitely comfortable on the offensive side of the ball, and he gives a bigger, physical presence for the backfield. In terms of QB, I can't offer guesses. It would be inappropriate for me to do so. I can say that each guy is getting long looks i...

Shane D

So you take the best high school RB from NJ and, on the worst running team in the conference, you stick him at LB? http://www.gorhody.com/sports/m-footbl/2017-18/releases/20170814mmmyrx Yes, interesting, but now they are moving him back to running back. Wonder what changed or how this came about? A...

Shane D

No problem. Given my position with the program, it's not necessarily appropriate for me to get into that type of response. Certainly the list includes several guys who could have an impact. I appreciate the passion folks on this board have for the team, so I like to help with fact-based answers when...

Here is the current list of redshirt freshmen for 2017-18, Ramster.

Vito Priore - QB
Kwadir Brown - DB
Jerome Evans - DB
Will Daniels - LB
Jahmir Ross Johnson - OL
Sean Anderson - OL
Evan McHugh - P
Ja'Quan Buffaloe - WR
Anthony Christian - TE
Andre Bibeault - DL

STC,

Nothing imminent that I am aware of. Certainly there are items in discussion, but nothing in terms of specifics at this point.

Hi Ramster, Hope this doesn't come off the wrong way, but I'll avoid the recruiting question. I generally don't get involved with recruiting information until much closer to signing day. There are so many moving parts, plus recruiting is also such a hairy area from a compliance standpoint in terms o...

Ramster, It's a good question about why only nine of the players are listed, and I don't have a good answer for that. I can tell you that 14 players who joined the team this year have played significant snaps in at least two, if not all three, of the games so far. Harold Buckner III - started three ...

This year's class was rated #2 even though the gorhody site and people on this board say it was #1.

Hi all,

Just got the update we were hoping for. Bose will be signing a contract with the Ravens tomorrow:

Hi guys,

Just wanted to clarify that he does not have a contract with the Ravens at this point. He has been invited to a tryout at their rookie mini-camp this weekend, but has not officially been picked up. Hopefully it goes well and there will be good news to report after the weekend.
