Many times daily I check here to hopefully read about a new addition from the portal to our rooster. But I only see other schools getting players, many times from A10 schools. I am getting very anxious for good URI news. I will admit I am not a very patient person. So to be able to read something re...

Got a good feeling about Zapala

Why? Has he visited here?

If Archie doesn’t land a big man, it’s going to make his handling of Foumena look even worse. You knew Foumena was going to hit the portal because Archie didn’t give him much playing time. He always played hard and was one of the few guys who always gave 100 percent effort. He was raw, but I thought...

Bassy must have it. Hope he is calling him daily!

What's Duquesne's NIL fund amount? They just keep loading up with talent, while we sit there jacking off. 4 spots to fill. Wonder what we will get? 4 leftovers likely lower level bench fillers. We just keep falling farther and farther behind programs that we used to be better than. I'm almost at th...

I am starting to lose hope. It’s been just too quiet. But we really need another big.

It’s not tax-free, it’s taxable income to the recipients

The portal is closed. When are we going to hear about a new commit or 2? I’m starting to get very impatient. Anybody have any news or rumors I am getting desperate at this point.

Irv was known as Irv “slap that shit back” Chatman back in the day. And yes he was very good at URI and was a defensive force!

79RhodyFan

I really hope Bassy has been on the phone trying to recruit Miranda. I would think he would have some good selling points. That could get me excited for next year. We really need some more positive additions to keep us all out of Rhody Rehab. It would be a lot of fun having 2 RI kids helping us get ...

If he played for Dan, I have to think he has a good attitude and is a hard worker.

Maybe Dan can Put in a good word on URI to him!

79RhodyFan

Can coaches donate? If so maybe Archie should donate some of the $500,000 bonus he just received. He could consider it a investment in himself since it could help his coaching career get going again and out of the downward spiral

79RhodyFan

Would imagine this is announcing some key players staying? If that's the case then this is sad. Has it come down to celebrating being able to keep some players you recruited a year or so ago? Guys like Cam and Fuchs are good players, but a 'Big Week' had better be getting some really good transfers...

Is it not obvious that the team just got demoralized as the year went on? They didn't handle adversity well, but there was plenty of talent to win more than 12 games. We saw these "untalented" players gel at times. They had no continuity, roster was in flux, the losses piled up and they h...

I like the balloons. Anything that can keep help keep up the energy level in the building is a plus but I like the $5 beer better. I went for pizza before the game and paid $6.50 for a 16oz Narragansett I loved to the Ryan Center and getting a better deal at $5

79RhodyFan

Holy shit. We continue to miss the mark so poorly. Duquesne advertises $1 beers. Because everything we do is unoriginal, forced, unorganic, and a poor replica of what we see others do, we too are doing a beer "special" https://www.instagram.com/p/C2utXyxsnhU/?utm_source=ig_embed&u...

79RhodyFan

Does anyone know if the Mews has ESPN+ and will being showing URI - NW game ?

79RhodyFan

Add in Foumena who is only shooting FT at 33% (5-15) and who is someone who will most properly get a lot of free throw attempts. FTs will be a problem in tight games. Hope they can improve. Maybe 72 can show them the proper FT shooting techniques!

Could not care less about the results of these. Players get 10+ fouls, play everyone, stop the game to have the teams play to a certain situation, etc. If we win by 50 or lose by 50, wouldn’t change anything for me. For me I will feel much better about the up coming season if they win by 50 as oppo...

Anything said about Kortright, House or the freshman Cam, Connor and Ray Allen III?

My post was about the least smug thing I could have typed out. Took zero digs at Blue Man, didn’t call these two recruits busts/overrated, wasn’t condescending, etc etc. But I get it, people will try and get pissy at whatever I post. But you say that is a high expectation to put on them. Why is it ...

I can’t think of a worse post regarding NIL than this. I appreciate it. You're such a hell of a guy. I mean, it makes zero sense and has less than 0% chance of happening. Now some may have phrased my post differently, but I can guarantee the overwhelming majority here would agree with me that your ...

Lov 22 has entered the portal!

79RhodyFan

The way things are going lately he will probably transfer to Albany to play with Bassy.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!? I mean, yeah, "entertaining" isn't exactly what I'd use to describe URI basketball this year. BUT - thankfully, it's not a word you would use to describe ANY team in the A10 this year. You wanted spinzone? I'll give you spinzone! You don't want spinzone!? YOU'RE ...

79RhodyFan

Just my observation, but why is Rory so hesitant to shoot? It seems he gets an open shot but puts others in a last second position, by passing off. I'm really not impressed with his play generally, and definitely not under pressure, and would prefer Alex get the majority of the minutes at the 5. Wh...

Has anyone heard or have any information on what to expect from Jeremy Foumena? Does anyone know how he has looked in practice? How has he done going against Samb and Tchikou?

Blue Man did you have a liquid lunch with ECR today? I love the optimism but the St Joes game broke me. I always loved ECR's positive takes, but for some reason the St Joes game was extra disappointing and I am afraid might be turning me from ECRish to more like Rhody15ish. That will probably take ...

They are all college kids so I am not going to hate on them by BLue man I don't know what you see in Rory. He isn't great defensively, and is shooting 20 percent from three. Rory hasn't played enough to really know whether or not he is a good 3 point shooter. Grant Williams missed his first 25 3 po...

Big lines at the concessions for those $2 Rhody Dogs? Doesn't matter. If there's 5 people in front of you...it's still a good 15-20 minutes. (Confession...I did have a couple...) The concession stands were grossly understaffed. Talk about missing a chance for a lot of revenue. All the beer concessi...

Any updates on Ant’s status floating around out there in the Rhody-verse? It all depends on who you get the update from. If its from ECR the update will be: he is here now, looking great and he is going to be the programs savior. If its from Rhody15 the update will be: he is not going to be eligibl...

Your 2+ years of trashing Jermaine Harris were something I’ve never witnessed any URI Fan ever come close to. It was way, way beyond necessary. Everyone here got your point early on yet you pounded the guy over and over again. No respectful URI would do what you did to Harris. I submit it was much ...

Even though I still feel that PC should win this game, one thing I am not sure was mentioned. We are having a full week to prepare for them and should be fully rested and giving some of our banged-up players more time to heal. On the other hand, PC is headed down to Texas getting ready to face a pr...

I'm sure to be proven wrong, but other than Toppin and Tyrese Martin, I don't recall any player who transferred out of URI hurting us long term or that we couldn't replace. Maybe Jason Alexander in the early 90s. That 93 team would have been better with Alexander at the point, and Sean Colson (who ...

Carey can’t play PG. He can. We don't want him to but he played a little point at Syracuse and in spurts with us. That's obviously not what we want but he was much better with the ball last year.
