Weird stat in this game We didn't have a single steal...how many games have we won where we had ZERO steals? Or how many games have we played without a single steal period? We are dead last or near the bottom in turnovers created and steals. That may be by design but it’s the facts nonetheless. Tha...

First post in some time. I've been reading the board and have watched almost every game. I felt it was time to participate again. I thought what Archie did offensively was brilliant. He made Davidson play defense and chase us around. We rarely took a bad shot with the exception of Cam and he was pul...

LIRAM

I like this signing and I think it makes us better. Luis is a strong lead guard who can defend and run a team. He is a plus defender and hard nose NYC kid. This entire transfer group we have brought in are physically ready to play and all are plus athletes. We were out juiced in almost every game la...

He was NY Prep.

Played at Long Island Lutheran. Same school as Hutch.

Some buzz at Stony Brook that Bethpage native and former Saint Dominic's star our very own Jim Christian is a person of interest. Jim played on some great St. Dominic teams of the early 80's for Ralph Willard. This would be a great hire for Stony Brook. Joe Jones would be really good too. The Jones ...

LIRAM

We had/have two bad perimeter defenders- Bray and Bassy(fouls and gets bullied) and three good defenders (Malik, Carey, Ish). If Bassy is a bad defender, why was he the one guarding the only guy who could hurt us last night? Wtf? Ish ended up grabbing him a few times when Bassy was sitting, but Loy...

LIRAM

The pack line stuff is way overblown on here. Sure it's more difficult to learn than a typical man to man, but I think it's just been used as an excuse to try and find a way to explain such a bad season when in reality we just need more talent at this point. This. There is not much evidence at all ...

Isn't he about 90 years old?

LOL. Jimmy is a weathered 55. Hoping he has success at UMBC. Great spot for him. He had some fun teams at LIU Brooklyn before going to Duquesne. Duquesne is not an easy place to win.

LIRAM

So confused how RV gives Grasso/Bryant a pass on an extremely disappointing season. What a joke with that roster. He was outcoached in almost every single game. The American East has some good head coaches for a low major. This isn't the NEC. His arrogance and lack of any real plan other than out t...

Meade should be lined for football only. Lacrosse and soccer lines will make it a mess. No serious program has lacrosse lines running through the field turf that I know of. Soccer facility is fine. Our turf(grass) is incredible and our Coach is Irish! They play the game on grass! Upgrade the soccer ...

LIRAM

We went with Rory at the 5 for a short stretch. He put him in over Tchikou in first half. We will really struggle to defend and get rebounds with Rory at the 5. Malik is a man it’s different. Can’t run that same 5 all game as your small ball lineup, guys need rest. Rory/Lou would be a way to stay s...

LIRAM

I have not posted in quite some time but have not missed watching a game. I have refrained from getting too upset or too frustrated. I have observed quite a few things during this growth period that many of you have touched on and expressed. There has been growth. There is a plan. The staff is solid...

LIRAM

2023 Curlie Spencer out of Florida. DB with offers from Indiana, Kansas, Bowling Green and FAU. Flanagan is using the connections he has established in Florida and getting it done. I will say that having Donavan Varner on staff a few years ago opened up some of these connections.

LIRAM

Still QBs in the portal. Is URI talking to some or are they happy with what they have? Unusual not to add a QB every class. Think they are talking to some. Hill is coming back possibly. The Staff (Flanagan) has offered a kid from Tampa- TY "TD" Washington class of 2024. He will receive ma...

Wishing AJ the best. Big time loss for program. He just received an offer from Mizzou! That's SEC Football! Could be the first of many.

LIRAM

Watched Jeff play on YES tonight. Played 20 plus minutes and did a great job! He is a pro. Scored 10 points and had the best +/- . Proud of that dude!

LIRAM

Agree but Malik still needs to start and remain a 30+ min game player for us. His leadership and all around game is very valuable. He has played this whole tournament on a bum ankle so to the people who are criticizing him a little right now it is not fair. A true gritty player that is needed to te...

LIRAM

Really happy for staff and players to get the win today. I think we will look back at this tournament and it becomes the turning point. Getting off campus and giving these guys and staff a chance to come together is an invaluable experience. Archie truly gets it! The fan base can see it and Vault ca...

Congrats on a really enjoyable regular season! Program has come so far! Happy for those Seniors who are leaving Meade with a win and truly hoping for that bid tomorrow. M. DeShields is a tremendous talent and has really put together a memorable season. So many players have contributed to this total ...

LIRAM

Great Win! Winning in this league is just so difficult. First win against Maine in 14/15 games! That's crazy. Hill, Lee and DeShields carried us and the Defense made enough plays in the second half. The three of these young men have overcome adversity on and off the field. They are high character gu...

LIRAM

Wow! Massive Win and well deserved. That bus ride home will be amazing for those young men. So many players made big plays! I was impressed with Monmouth. They are a quality club. Next week will be a Huge Game! Congrats Staff/players and all those involved in the program. Giving us meaningful games ...

LIRAM

Tremendous second half! Congratulations to Coach Flem and staff! Defense was big and Hill had a good second half!

LIRAM

Wishing Coach Walsh all the best. Maine is a tough place to win but his four year experiment as a division one coach was horrific. 24-100 never gets you another look. Some of you guys used to throw his name around here..... Iona has been a good job for quite some time. When Rick leaves they will mak...

LIRAM

Last note: the SBU stadium is the exact replica of my ideal wish for Meade. A reduced size bowl stadium with seating all the way around. It’s the perfect footprint for our level of football. Box score says 7,101 attendance. Stadium holds 12,303. It looked like a smaller crowd than 7,101 on the broa...

Yes Sir! Which of the 4 gentlemen were you BAR?

LIRAM

Great Game. Good Rhody turnout. Mix of families/friends and Long Island/NYC Rhody Alums. Also a bunch of Native Rhode Islanders made the trip. Just a few observations- Sat by the defensive benches and they were locked in. Henry Yianakopolis and Evan Stewart are vocal and super leaders. Defensive Coa...

LIRAM

Good Rhody Turnout! Perfect night on the Island! Let's go Rhody!

LIRAM

Tremendous result! Team was so sound and disciple defensively.

LIRAM

Well done men! Love watching this group! Physical group that has a bunch of talent.

LIRAM

LIke this add if it happens. We are going to see some turnover. Arch and Staff had an opportunity to truly evaluate what came back. Would not be surprised if all 5 players that came back moved on. Jalen and Martin are leaving. Looks like Samb is being recruited over. Ish is in a make or break year ...

Sad news on Long Island, Big Ed Brown who played one season with Rhody 98-99 has passed away. Don't know any of the details. Ed was a character who spent two seasons at St. John's and one with Rhody. Had some really good moments off the bench his one season. He was academically ineligible for Jerry ...

Martin will probably start at the three with Brandon playing the two. Ish and Carey will see lots of time. Stewart, Samb, N'guessan and Foumena will be a four ...

LIRAM

I think Harris is worth the risk (health history) and gives us big reward if it works. I am really hoping he is the next to commit. He gives us another big physical guard to pair up with Bray and Brandon. He would give us much needed flexibility being able to play the one and two. A healthy Harris m...

LIRAM

The combination of Archie's patience and this super solid staff is getting it done. Coach 40 locks up another one. Huge committment that will attract other players to play with him. Brooklyn Kid who is as tough as they get. Strong power guard who is sneaky athletic and will go up and dunk on you. Fe...

LIRAM

Archie has been very patient through out this entire process. He is evaluating what we have and also letting the dust settle with the portal. He is recruiting the prep scene and landed two bigs with great potential. If he lands Harris and Weston I think its a homerun. Harris gives us a combo guard w...

1) Start with getting a potential all-conference proven point guard with 3 years left- Braylon Freeman. Coach Kenny paid dividends right away. 2) Land a wing, stretch 4 and mobile-athletic rim protector 5, all from quality Prep Programs. Coach 40 lands three! Landing 3 quality front court 22's this...

Just watched some highlights. Stretch 4 who can shoot and pass very well. Great size and really good footwork. The type of player you see in a Davidson uniform. Hope we get him!

LIRAM

Many of these High School Class of 22's have been overlooked if you are not in the top 150-200. Too many programs are portal happy. I like the staff's approach with landing two really promising 22's and working hard on getting in on 23's. This will reestablish us with the top prep programs in the Co...

LIRAM

Very good signing. Great upside and could be a steal considering just a few weeks ago he was going to stay at LUHI for a post grad season. LUHI plays a national schedule and just accepted an invite to the National Interscholastic Basketball Conference- many would argue the top conference in the Coun...

2023. Thin big man. Might still be growing. Mostly lower offers so far. Had a good first weekend. He received offers from Northwestern and Maryland on Monday. We offered this week too!

Correct three years left. Only played 12 games his freshman year and entered the portal in January.

Big Wes has really improved his body. I love watching him play. Hopefully with him getting in better shape he will spend more time on the field. He split time with Dylan last year and I cringed every time he left the field. I think Burby and Thomas, the two Rutgers transfers are going to be much imp...
