Disagree. Do you follow any of PC twitter and the motley crew of posters who flood X? Lighten up. I’d rather see these than the 350th pot shot at Archie from Vault.

Hopefully, Adam, when we get good and have P5’s tempting our players, we can beat them off with a big stick - like the meme of beating a dead horse - from a core group and just between a starting/rotation spots. Hopefully! Obviously it won't be realistic to keep them all every year, but the dream i...

Doesn't that show what a poor job the staff has been at evaluating talent and bringing players in?

The NCAA should do away with the National Letter of Intent. It means nothing now. It never really meant much anyway though. The vast majority of schools would always let players out of their NLI if they requested it before to. They ALL were let out of it, if the recruit asked for it. The team and c...

Most of us said he's not a big loss for NEXT year. As a freshman. We also said that many players like Ben tend to leave, go to a high-major, and transfer. And I can promise you that at least one person in our program felt like Ben would not stay here long term because they messaged me that the day ...

It's funny how people here were saying he's not that big of a loss, yet now they're saying he could be a starting PG in a P5 conference and a top 20 school by his sophomore year.

One of the members of the split personality club. Jimmy Beeron, had his account suspended. I wonder what he said?

Billyboy78

I’m not saying that. I’m saying if he can get the money at Tennessee or any other P5 school then go for it. Also I have said Hammond did not show up at any URI games this season including games in the DMV area with George Mason or George Washington - not a good sign. As time went on and he was not ...

It’s not my style but shitposting is part of twitter and URI had almost zero ppl doing it. And now we have one person with multiple personalities doing it. :lol: It’s gotta be right?

Zakai Zeigler is the starting PG I think he would be brought in to be the next Zakai Zeigler after he graduates. Makes sense because Zakai is a short PG. They are very similar. I think Ben would be willing to wait a year. I'd guess he'll commit after he visits. If he's going to sit at a P5 this yea...

Per 247Sports.com, Tenn lost 7 from their Elite 8 team and added 3 from the portal so far. Between those 3 adds and 6 leftovers, I didn’t see a PG listed. Hard for me to think they can’t nab a good, experienced PG from the portal with their NIL and PT available at that position. I must have have ov...

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...

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
