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? Because he made a horrendous decision and he couldn't land better options Why can’t he land better options? Plenty of talent and time remaining. What would have have preferred he do?...

Hahahhaa what a pathetic response Yep! Players can't get better! I think he's just trying to troll at this point. His comments are reaching Rhody72 levels. At least 72 was funny. Anyone who watches sports knows that college players typically improve and develop once they become juniors or seniors. ...

Here are the numbers I sorted 2FG%, 3FG% and FT% for all of our past starters and added Lawrence and Thomas. Last year a glaring weaknesses was FT Shooting. Thomas 77.5% and Lawrence 77.1% easily surpass our players 2FG% has Thomas 50% and Lawrence 48.9% leading all URI guards with Fuchs and Brown ...

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...

What numbers? His FG% and 3 PT % are horrendous. How did you think Jaden House was last year? I thought he was one of our best players. Jaden House shot 27% from 3 at high point. He shot 64% from the FT line. 43% FG. When he came here, he took fewer shots and had more help than he did at a high poi...

It's so freaking annoying. I said it a few days ago and I'll say it again. We may have the worst fanbase in America...

You are correct. International players cannot accept NIL $ as it is violation of their student visas. This from VCU Message Board re Shulga. Penalties for paying International Players could be significant if caught. IMG_3234.png What's the over/under on when that gets lawsuited away? A year? 18 mon...

Some of these transfers just don't make much sense. This is 1 of them. Follows his coach across the country. Has an alpha role on a team that fills their gym every game and can contend for an NCAA bid. I am sure he was being paid to some extent but how much more is someone offering him? I can't ima...

Since Shulga is from Ukraine going to school here in US, using he exempt from NIL? Just like David Fuchs is exempt? You are correct. International players cannot accept NIL $ as it is violation of their student visas. Anyone ever wonder why all these schools do an overseas trip every year? You are ...

Archie is being patient. We need to follow Might be some deals at the deadline. Players being too patient or trying to reach, only so many spots on each team. I think last COVID year so realistically too many people in the portal. When the music gets close to stopping they might be scrambling for a...

Brea highly regarded……

At this point, I am not sure that we will bring in any pieces that will be immediately slotted for a starting position. Right now, Archie knows what he needs in terms of depth, pretty obvious. We need to bring in some players that will give us solid quality minutes when needed, and actually that ca...

I don’t think it’s an option. We must get stronger than just adding Thomas and Lawrence IF we are going to knock on the NCAA door. I think we're one big away. We're not trying to win the B1G or Big East. We're trying to win the A10. I think this roster plus another big can get it done. Agree. I was...

Is it totally unrealistic to hope/think they could bring in guys (that we haven't considered) that would be among the top 3 players on the team? And everyone slide down a slot? Or two? I wouldn’t expect that to be a back court guy. It would seem hard to compel an impact guard to come here given how...

How do we know that House and Green are coming back? There is no need for them to enter the portal if they plan on trying to make money overseas. Overseas money vs. NIL money isn't a crazy delta anymore, is it? Somebody recently posted what the average salary is overseas. I don't remember the numbe...

So in the scheme of things (at the moment) it seems we've traded Kortright and Hammond for Bassy and Lawrence. I'm not sure I like that trade, but can talk myself into it. I’d resigned myself to thinking Hammond wasn’t coming about 6 -8 weeks ago. Never appeared at a URI game including local to DC ...

5 left. Who's next? 16 players on the '23-'24 roster (including walk-ons). 11 are gone. I'm not so sure this is a bad thing. Will need to see what the final roster looks like before we know for sure though. Actually 6 left if you include Farrell who is on the 2024-2025 roster Fuchs House Green Kort...

It took like 1 minute. How many of those centers a could be headed to the A10? Most of the really good ones are power 5 locks, and there’s a lot of ones who aren’t even close to A10 level, possibly dropping down to D2 or JUCO. Would take more than one minute to answer that question. :lol:

If Bassy is indeed visiting then imo he commits. We could do worse. What this indicates to me is actually a positive. Based on the players who have stayed and those who have left, we could have a squad who gives consistent effort, even though the talent level might still not be good enough to conte...

Bassy is back haha wow that’s wild. Starting PG if I were to guess Bassy has to be penciled in as the starting PG. Don’t see any way Thomas accepts URI’s offer and not be the starting PG in his final year of eligibility. Do you think that was promised? I'm not sure...I almost think he'd have come h...

I looked at staffs Archie has worked on going back to his Arizona days. The only assistant he’s worked with that I could realistically see coming here is James Whitford. Whitford and Archie worked together at Arizona and Whitford was most recently the head coach at Ball State for 9 years where he w...

Interesting that Wyoming transfer Cam Manyawu (6’9 F) just visited Drake. Could Ostrom influence him to pick URI? Assuming of course that Ostrom is the guy. Saint Louis - April 15 Drake - April 17 Ostrom is at Vandy He just got hired there, definitely won’t be him Martelli SR then? any other guesses?

I'm guessing Tom Ostrom, now at Drake. Another possibility would be Bruiser Flint, although I think he's following Cal. Interesting that Wyoming transfer Cam Manyawu (6’9 F) just visited Drake.
