Damn it I got excited he was visiting here Does this mean we can’t compete with GW for players like Castro? Wow No someone sent it in the transfer portal thread I’m desperate for transfer news and I just assumed it was URI, then I read GW and got severely disappointed. I wouldn’t be too disappointe...

If a player like Joseph commands 500k we are screwed. I seriously doubt that number though. 100k tops. It's like everyone has a price tag attached to them. It's gotten beyond ridiculous. Believe it’s well north of 100k, but would be shocked if it approached 500k. They did have to be competitive wit...

That's my biggest fear. We're going to lose a potential program changing PG. I don’t think there are program changers at any level anymore. If a guy is successful, he’s probably being tampered with and will end up transferring up after a year. It’s a sad state of affairs in college athletics right ...

Since it matters so much to you, you don’t need to live vicariously through others. Embrace the role you played in keeping PC out. The fact that you suck so much that it’s a Q4 game for us is not helpful.

If you blame this loss on the ref you’re just looking for an excuse. Gimme a goddamn break. Refs had nothing to do with it. At home, against fucking Fordham with their top scorer. Nobody should be bringing up the refs. Get outta here with that shit. Senor sanctimonious, It is possible to point out ...

I believe Xavier remains a significant obstacle to the BE adding Dayton. If they were to expand I think Saint Louis would be the most likely candidate. Hard to believe that SLU would move the needle enough for the BE. Besides most of the SLU fans aren't happy with Travis Ford. Oh I don’t disagree w...

Last year was the worst offensive team I’ve seen in years This year is the worst defensive team I’ve seen in years Worst defense since Baron's final year, per KenPom... and it's alarmingly close. One or two more bad showings and it could dip below that. I believe in the coach and I do really like t...

PC has the roster / personnel to really really defend right now. It’s funny bc English is moreso known as an offensive coach. Carter is elite and guys like Gaines, Oduro, Floyd are all above average. That is going to keep them in games all year. I still think they have offensive shortcomings but th...

PCFriars

Sure this may be good for us in the short term, but in the big picture if this is upheld it’ll make things even worse. Are there any other NCAA rules that matter anymore? Or are they now just a promoter of college sporting events? I don’t think this is good for anybody. Very short term wins like th...

Ultimately, I think there's going to be some type of basketball alliance formed between the BE and ACC. I'm sure the BE knows they need to be proactive in maintaining the viability of a non-football league, and the ACC is in real trouble from a football standpoint. The ACC bought itself some time w...

Yes. If the guy doesn't meet expectations playing in Spain and you can replace him with somebody better then why not? Better than planting him on the bench all season as a 5th year player. Good GM'ing and expect to see more of it. Word on the street is that McNair didn't buy in and expected an outs...

Gotta love todays College Basketball Will McNair of PC just entered the Transfer Portal having yet to play a game, unless you count the games just played in Spain On top of that PC just announced a new recruit who will be joining the team this season You can't make this stuff up - and it's Septembe...

I mean, it makes zero sense and has less than 0% chance of happening. Now some may have phrased my post differently, but I can guarantee the overwhelming majority here would agree with me that your idea is an absolute non starter. 15 you are critical of 78 by stating "I can’t think of a worse ...

I think Dayton is the only obvious choice. They are 1 of very few non P5s that put 13k in the seats every night every season. They have the highest ceiling when you put the BE badge on their jersey. 100% agree, but Xavier is going to have to bless that, or be strong armed into allowing them. Saint ...

Honestly I'm not sure that's really a hot take. You have to take care of those three programs first. I just don't see where what's in the budget takes care of Meade. And if not now, when does Meade get fixed? How long does it have left? It's so insulting that the state only kicked in $18 million on...

PC is holding Breed’s scholarship at the moment. I don’t know what happened, and no one really does for sure. But one thing I do know is that the story has changed a number of times. I am very glad that he is being allowed due process by the admin and staff. And I don’t even mean that in a basketbal...

I think he ends up with you guys. PC wants him, but doesn't seem like he's too interested in a 15 MPG bench role.

Very unlikely. PC most likely landing Graham Ike which wouldn’t be happening if they had a shot at Dickinson.

The stories coming out about the new Georgetown coach right now and his personal situation are pretty ugly.

Couldn’t imagine a more complete destruction of a legacy in 2 short weeks.

What Ed Cooley did is hilarious and terrible. The "us, we, together, family, friars" line and the "this is my dream job" BS about his home town.

He chose to wear that "us, we.." bullshit shirt to his NCAA press conference on Thursday. The guy is shameless.

This made me laugh. Needed that today. You guys aren't so bad.

The sting from where I sit is that Cooley is not who we thought he was. This was a very snake-ish move from all sides, and I have very little respect left for the man or for the Georgetown program who poached within conference. At the end of the day, we held Cooley on a pedestal rightly or wrongly, ...

PCFriars

Agree Blue. But I think he will need the money to be at a certain level to justify it in public opinion in the still unlikely scenario he accepts it. I also think if he ultimately is concerned about image he has to balance how much he uses this as leverage back to PC. Don’t think they can pay him 5...

PCFriars

With the Cooley rumors - is everyone just dismissing that PC wouldn’t find another mil or two a year to pay Ed? This is would be Nap’s first big issue as an AD and I’m sure he wouldn’t want to go down as the guy that let PC’s local legend walk to an in-conference opponent. If Cooley ever left it wo...

PCFriars

I take it as he’s fighting for a raise for himself and his staff It’s not salary, it’s NIL. The school is working to accommodate as best they can. It’s not zero that he goes to Georgetown but it’s close. Ed’s only planning to coach for 5 or so more years, so a full rebuild at this stage of his care...

For the naysayers, Thomas will continue to improve as he has this season. Sorry if this offends anyone but Thomas is not a D1 player at any level. Against VCU, you lost because he literally fell out of bounds untouched, which was followed up by him throwing a pass 30 feet over someone’s head out of...

I just want to see his first big recruit. A cornerstone. To get national attention on this program. To get things moving. Hope it happens soon. Not saying he will or won’t, but that’s not really his track record. He gets system guys and the system wins games. That was one of the things that frustra...

So I wouldn’t say that we “lucked out again” when we played the same Pirates that everyone else has.

Who was it last year who called the Friars the luckiest team in the country? They are still at it as Seton Hall's starting center did not play at all yesterday and Croswell had a field day against their second stringer. What are you even talking about? The only guy who didn’t play for SHU yesterday...

Hopkins is the best player of the Cooley era. And he’s had some good ones. He’s one and done. NBA ready. Ehhh Dunn was incredible. Still a lot of season yet.

PC over SH 71-67 in a back-and-forth game. SH still without PF Yetna and also CG Femi injured. A good spot win, as some say, Jersey. They caught SH in a good (for the team from Prov) spot. Not good for SH being under-manned. It’s good to be lucky. I think PC will be on the bubble this year they are...

Bynum is a elite lock down defender I'm not sure if this was said tongue in cheek or not, but this is very false.

Ed has a very close relationship with Archie, who acknowledged that Ed helped to sell him on life in Rhode Island. I don't think Ed would disparage anything URI related as long as his friend is the coach there.

I was directly across from the basket on that call with the perfect angle to see it.. It was pretty quick, so I can't be 100% sure, but to me it looked like it was definitely off of the rim when Alex slammed it back in. The ESPN+ replay showed it being off the front of the rim pretty definitively. ...

Two cents from afar - You’re going to be fine; maybe not finishing with a great record this year, but I'm betting the team at the end of the year will be unrecognizable to what you just saw last night. You’re in good hands - Thought the team defended at a high level, especially during that run in th...

This is a sneaky big loss and the timing is surprising. Lots of respect for coach Walsh. He wasn’t getting paid at PC either from what I understand.

Just to give you an idea of how difficult it is to create a good home schedule, check out the OOC slate that Providence College released today.
