Re: 3/12 | Saint Louis | 4:30PM (ESPN+) | A-10 1st Round

Not too mention I went to the prep tournament at RIC a month ago, and the national prep tournament at Clark in Worcester last week. I talked to several prep coaches NO ONE knows URI or Austin Carroll. The best comment I got is that , the guy Carroll , is he the guy that wears URI sweatshirt that is ...

Re: 3/12 | Saint Louis | 4:30PM (ESPN+) | A-10 1st Round

St Louis is very possibly the least talented, worst coached D 1 team ive seen. But then there is URI. I am a big Archie fan, or was, but I'd rather see Cox back. If I want to see a team That has less fundamentals than a CYO.Teand less heart, at least with David Cox you could see that , but with more...

Re: 1/17 | St. Bonaventure | 7:00PM (ESPN+)

St Bonnie's is average at best. Which says a lot to where URI is. With that being said, even is the crazy portal Era, it is still a process and takes time I've also noticed that the portal era creates these absurd games like this. We could go beat Dayton Saturday and the Bonnies get blown out in th...

Re: '22 SF Buru Naivalurua (Garden City CC ---> ??? )

A meltdown over Buru is absolutely amazing. The young man may become a good or great player but it doesn't seem many coaches were on board with that. Though I wouldn't mind him I was kind of disappointed he was made out to be a main target. Saying the staff is underwhelming with their recruits is on...

Grasso had an bad season last year. I don't like the message taking a Pride on sends to the freshmen and Sopho...

Re: 20 PG’ Luis Kortright (Qunnipiac —> URI)

This addition is more confirmation that URI seems to be changing its transfer portal philosophy. In recent years, Rhody has added many players from higher profile teams moving down. Most of these were not starters. Seems that Archie is now focused on taking players looking to move up from lower pro...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcNPKIJtMpU Maybe a little better than Always Wright. Always Wright has impressive shooting numbers however. Perfect example. Let's look at stats and watch a couple of 3 minute clips , that obviously show the best a player has and we have a decision on who is better

Re: 20 PG’ Luis Kortright (Qunnipiac —> ??) (URI Visit)

A PG who only shoots 53% from the free throw line is essentially flipping a coin every time they shoot one. They better have him stand at the half court line, so he doesn't make physical contact with anyone. Stats do not lie. I agree absolutely that % is horrible for anyone especially a pg.. Althou...
