Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops I miss the days when a terrific recruiter was so valuable in college sports. Now it doesn't really matter. You can be a terrific recruiter, but if you don't have any NIL, you aren't getting players. And you can be a shitty recruiter, but if you have NIL you'll still be abl...

I nominate NYG for the position as GM/KB liaison. Not sure if NYG is bringing any players with him, to answer your question, 104, unless he brings a few from KB. Anyone here have any eligibility left ? I do. I can still shoot. I just can't run or jump anymore. Is that good enough? What do you think...

A 7 footer who can run and rebound, that is.
Yes. I can't remember his name, but we had a 7 footer a few years back who couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time.
Blake Vedder

He was just a big flimsy stick

Still hit a 3 though!

Yeah, him.

Yes, Whitford is a midwest guy. It appears that he's recruiting Conway and Elijah Jones. Both Conway and Jones are from Illinois.

Billyboy78

In his bio, it says one of the things he's known for are his defensive schemes. Would that be the packline? I know he coached under Sean, so I would assume it is. Does anybody know what kind of defense he ran at Ball State?

Billyboy78

From NY and played prep in New England. Between Duane or Austin, there must be a connection somewhere.

Yeah, but Foumena and Brown played the 5. This kid is not a center.

See my post immediately after. The tweet that was not found was from Traore's twitter saying he committed.

Actually he got fired in 2022.

On here is the list. Continuity, eligibility issues and injuries have absolutely zero impact on a teams performance. Don't watch highlight films. Don't watch a transfers full game. Players don't improve. Never get a player that fills needs for depth. Depth doesn't exist. Only starters can apply her...

You guys are OK with getting backups for guys who finished in 12th place in the A10? That's what our new practice facility and increase in NIL money gets us? Wow, expectations have become really low. We finished 11th. I mean does anyone have any perspective on here? We already got two starters (con...

And if you think he's a shooter, he shot 30% on free throws(3-10). Small sample size for both, but I wouldn't s...

So, this was our first trade. Specifics of the deal. March 2023: Rhode Island acquires Jaden House from High Point for a player to be named later. April 2024: Rhode Island's deal with High Point is completed as Jeremy Foumena is the player sent to High Point in the Jaden House deal from March 2023. ...

who? The one big we've been mentioned with, recruited bu Christen Cunningham. I don’t think we were ever mentioned with Manyawu. I think someone went through Cunningham’s twitter following and saw Manyawu that doesn’t mean we were involved with him. The assistant coach that recruited him to Wyoming...

Don't forget, Iggy says it's one of 'Archie's guys'. That eliminates some of the names being discussed here.

I would like to think it's only a matter of time before we are good and can stay good on a consistent basis. Some on this board are convinced it will happen. I'll still on the fence as to whether IF it will happen, and how long will it take? I should live in Missouri. It's called the "Show Me ...

I thought 78 would let us know from his campsite outside the Ryan Ctr. Did NYG forget his bagel ? :lol: Nobody has offered their tent yet. If I get one where should I put it? I always liked the Ellery Pond area. A tent, some binoculars for a good view of the RC and Keaney, coffee and a bagel (daily...

We're almost halfway through Archie's contract and we're one of the worst teams in the A10. "We'll be good when we're good." Let me know when that happens. Hopefully before his contract is up.

You can't be REALLY REALLY good in the A10 anymore. If you are, you're gone. When great A10 programs like Dayton can't keep their best players, you know there's a problem.

And a bagel?

His last 7 games he shot 66% from 3. He is so damn confident. He just hit some bad luck because of the Iowa betting scandal took out their star point guard and they forced him to play the 1 most of the season. He could play the 3 also when we want to go small. I think we will be going with a 3-guar...

Not being snarky. Just trying to understand. My guess is someone has been working for Rhody that we don't know about (I'm sure some know) while KJ has been working for GT.

Well, at least more than Jimmy Ball and Jameson Smith.

If we've already hired an assistant, as someone here suggested, why hasn't it been announced? Is that, for some reason, a secret too? Probably waiting for all the HR, Background check stuff to come back.. No reason to be snarky about it there Billy Boy Not being snarky. Just trying to understand.

Dan used to push publicly for what the program needed, has Archie said NIL is important to the program’s success? Has he been trying to drum up support among the fan base?

I guess I'm old school. I love defense. There was nothing more beautiful than watching Bill Russell block a shot which led to an easy basket by the Celtics.

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 horrendous shooter but the facts prove otherwise. Fuchs and Green heights can be debated but the real issue inside is that neither one jumps well. Both give strong effort and both were very fr...

So you take the ProJo over the URI roster info that is shared with all Of D1? What makes the ProJo right at 6’8” still higher than your 6’7”? It’s still an inch higher that your 6’7” declaration And again, it’s all relative. Sitting at courtside the differences in height between Fuchs, Green, Foume...
