Yep Ramster, saw that. Huge get for Urgo, surprised he was able to land him. Reopened his recruitment last month after signing the all important NLI last November to Arizona State And he chose Fordham over other schools, including URI? Or, was Rhody not interested? For all the "show me the big...

I don't normally use per 40 stats, but anyway, for Wilborn, they are Pts: 16.88, Reb: 11.56, Assists: 2.66, Blocks: 2.5. You are missing the fact that he was only a freshman, being an impact player in his 1st year of Div. 1. I was hoping we would get him, but I am sure the staff has other options. ...

A UMass fan was making fun of Meade on twitter, so Thorr responded with this. https://x.com/thorrbjorn/status/1786354426837361039 UMass bragging about anything football related is a joke.

We're not talking about a project in Zapala. We're talking about a 5th year senior. C'mon. I would have loved Wilborn. I think he's going to be a great player. I think he's a better player than Zapala. But I don't understand why you think this kid is terrible. He's definitely not a project. Talking...

That was a fast addition, Jersey. Did it even take a full week for VCU to find a PG replacement? Yep, good job by Odom, he may even be better than Thomas would have been.

Big recruiting news involving a local player. This kid from Fall River is a stud. Let's hope it's not PC. https://x.com/WalterJenksFOX/status/1787957683452342557 Billyboy, Glad this was a hoax. I saw Joson Sanon play live a number of times with AAU EYBL Expressions Elite. Was very, very impressed. ...

Congrats to Rory Stewart!!!!

Anyone actually have any transfer portal news? Hearing that we are involved with some players whose names have not been mentioned which is not unusual. Some announcements since the Portapalooza era have been made with total surprise. We are already in a stronger rotation place than a year ago. Pati...

The literal first sentence of YOUR post says "I think Green could end up at shooting guard." So yes, you thickheaded idiot, you did say Green at 2 . Jesus Christ (sorry for triggering some of you), you're going for the leg sweep huh, Johnny? Lol To quote the Falcon, "he's out of line...

ramster

Again, Never said 2. Green Could play similar role to Leggett - shooting guard/wing. Green Can shoot the 3FG at an even better % than Leggett, can drive to the hoop with good creativity, handles the ball well, passes well, good leadership. Some A10 teams play a Center, 2 Forwards and 2 guards Some ...

ramster

Yea man! 6'7' David Green who average under 1 assist to be our starting 2 guard! Cam? Nah. Jaden? Nah. Lawrence? Nah. The most prototypical forward David Green? Starting 2 guard! Over those 3 I just listed! You nailed it! Again, Never said 2. Green Could play similar role to Leggett - shooting guar...

ramster

Especially with a leaky packline. 1. I think Green could end up at Shooting Guard. Our best 3FG shooter last season, drives/slashes/weaves to the hoop as well as any player in the A10 and passes well. Traore or another Strong Forward tba could emerge. Note Abu Bakr makes this reference about Traore...

Who said 2?
Certainly was not me

ramster

In a perfect world, Green is as classic of a 3 as it gets. Agree Excellent 3FG%, our best last season Can get his shot off because of his height, unlike some 3FG shooters who struggle to get their shot off unless wide open Drives well to the hoop, very creative, high percentage shooter inside and out

ramster

So, put Green at the 2? At our deepest position by far? That makes no sense. I mean, are you surprised Ramster said that? He knows little to nothing, just makes monologue posts spewing a whole lotta nothing. Reading comprehension issue number 99999999999 Nowhere did I say Green at the 2. Was just m...

Scott,

I think you meant to say he did NOT come here to be 6th man, right?

Exactly my point.

And you can say that about any defense

Miller rated his own defense F-

He knows

ramster

I get Fuchs is our center but we need rim protection like it’s going out of style (height). And depth at the 5. Green is too small at the 4 if we go up against a big team. Last season, our guards got beat a lot and we didn’t have that true rim protector in the paint. Especially with a leaky packlin...

ramster

I did not say he broke any rules But, why did he not tell us sooner. After all, we were not his enemy! Two players better- have we signed two tonight? Both Bassy and Lawrence (also guards IIRC) will both have better stat years than Ben. Are you really doubting this? Lawrence is a SG. Obviously. Bas...

Won the series, now sit at 9th place in the conference. If they don't make the A-10's it'll only be the third time since 2004 that they've missed!

So, we could be losing a recruiting battle to Duquesne? They were in the NCAAT this year. Why are you surprised?

Jaden House put up similar numbers in a bad conference when he came to us, and he wasn't even a "good get," never mind a "star." Yeah I don't think I can stand Rhody Vault at all anymore. I think there is a solid case he is doing things that are potentially damaging to the progr...

Right who should standby their commitment? That’s just crazy talk! Nobody expects you to stand by your commitment in life if a better offer comes along! Kinda surprised contracts even exist!

Just seems odd to me JDrums that a non-profit can pay players to play, reap the monetary benefits from the teams performance, and not gave to pay taxes on the money taken in from the basketball and football programs. But the athletes themselves have to pay taxes on the income. Oh well. “Fair share”?

ramster

and in every other pro sport, 'everyone' knows...it will soon be the same with this, won't it? It's interesting that there was this (rightful) battle to get paid, which was won, and now, how much we're getting paid is nobody's business. I don't see the "nobody's business' + collectives" m...

He won't be a star in the A10 but should be a nice fit at PG for them. He doesn't have to be a star and won't even be the best or top scoring guard on the team, they already have Bam and Zeb.

I think you were right Adam. Rhody Vault knew Archie was likely to go a different way. RV early on says he likes options #1 and #2 but not #3 which was Archie getting someone he knows to replace Kenny Johndon and someone he has worked with in the past with significant HC experience. RV also critici...
