Re: URI Rhode to Excellence Poll

My guess is he goes to a power conference. It's a combination of money and going big time. GM? I doubt it. I doubt George Mason as well, but it’s a good “stay at home” option if he prefers that. Why go to URI if he can stay in A10 16 miles from home? I agree he goes P5 which is where he would end u...

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond (URI LOI ---> ??? )

Let’s see where Hammond lands too Rambone. Money is part of the equation but not all George Mason is 16 miles from Paul VI. Could stay home and play in same A10 Conference Or he could aim for a P5 or NBE team Hammond was not seen at a single URI game this season. Not all that surprising he would opt...
