Mark Turgeon was mentioned above but I can't see him taking on an assistant's job at a place like URI. He was a head coach in the Big Ten and Big-12 and led three programs (Wichita St, Texas A&M, and Maryland) to ten NCAA's with a couple of Sweet-16's. The Kansas native Turgeon has a career win...

Not a surprise to see Megan Shoniker leave for a HC job or for an AC job at a P5 school. Megan will be great at UNH. Might be a player or two follows Megan to UNH.

Not sure how to post a picture, but heading into the 4th round of the draft, ESPN has Lorenzo Thompson as the 16th ranked offensive tackle remaining. Good catch I hope Thompson gets selected today Over his career I thought Thompson got bigger, stronger, faster and better every year. Enjoyed watchin...

I have a feeling its Phil Martelli - known Archie for a while dating back to Dayton days. Son coaching down the street. Out of a job after Howard fired. Do we have to retire the Young Frankenstein moniker if he comes here ? That would suck. I always enjoyed that one going back to when I first start...

Could be an interesting night. Minnesota might be tempted to do some horse trading because it’s looking like They will get some compensation for the Falcons tampering with Kirk Cousins. Likely will be implemented with next year’s draft.
My guess is Patriots trade the 3rd pick

Aren't we all college basketball fans? You never watch any low majors? Do you watch anyone but URI? By that logic it's pathetic to watch URI basketball lol.

I have a very good theory (not a source this time lol) but it could be Mark Turgeon, he was seen behind the URI bench at the GW and GM away games in DC & Virginia and checks the boxes of former head coach and hasn’t coached since ‘22 And he has a connection to Rhody via the Mitchell twins! And ...

Good points earlier from 78, PRT and Stevey regarding our D. I am concerned about the D.

Where do you think Koch got the 6'8" from. You think he just guessed? Anyway, who cares. I still think Green at the 4 and Fuchs at the 5 together is too small. That was my point anyway. I did not say Koch guessed. I don’t know where he got it. I also don’t know where you got that Thomas is a h...

Is this good news? Hasn't it widely been assumed that Archie sitting out a year and Kenny Johnson sitting out two years were bad things in that their connections kind of dried up and needed to be reestablished? I disagree with that notion.. There's been plenty of coaches who have sat out a year and...

ramster

Yeah but he's 6'8. I'd figure he'd inevidently be matched up with with some bigger guys on the wing/inside by virtue of being 6'8. Fuchs is 6’9” not 6’7” Sit at floor level and compare Fuchs to Foumena, Brown, Green, Stewart and Bilau he fits with their listed heights. So if 1 is exaggerated then t...

ramster

Fuchs is listed at 6'9. I'd say he's a solid 6'8 in reality. Green can definitely play the 4 in the A-10. He didn't seem to have problems scoring inside. The Greek UConn guy and the guy out of Green Bay we targeted last week look like they can play the 3 or 4 (maybe) so it looks like we are adding ...

Because we know the guy can't play in the A10, we have two years of proof So why do you think Miller added him back?

After multiple horrible years and losing our top recruit, if our plan G was landing the leading scorer of the American East, I think that's great. If he wasn't named Sebastian Thomas, I think we'd have a lot more excitement about landing a guard who dropped 30-40 in multiple games. But for some rea...
