Re: '17 JUCO PF - Shakur Juiston (Offer)

blue ram, there's no way to address any of this without coming off as petty. If you can't see what I was saying, then that's fine.

Re: '17 JUCO PF - Shakur Juiston (Offer)

How different will it be 2 years from now? Langevine will be a junior, Dowtin will be a junior, Thompson and Akele will be seniors, Russell will be a sophmore and Juiston will be a senior. Who knows about Layssard and Tertsea. Plus, we should have a big class coming in next year. None of those play...

Re: '17 JUCO PF - Shakur Juiston (Offer)

Why Shakur Juiston could come to URI: - Northern NJ connection to Dan Hurley - Easy, simple 3 hour ride home on Amtrak from URI - Success of URI in 2017 and a positive outlook for 2017-2018 - favorites to win the A10. A program on the rise. - Kuran Iverson and Hassan Martin departing after successf...

Re: 2021 NCAAs

The question is will DH be here in 2021 ?? you can't say anything with 100% certainty, but I'd say yes pretty confidently. He loves RI, and nothing should lead us to believe he's looking to be somewhere else. If we start winning big and consistently like we think is possible, I guess you could star...

Re: 2021 NCAAs

Will be in Providence for 1st and 2nd round. This will be Fatts' senior year. Let's be a national power by then so we can get some "home" games. If Dan can build off this year's success, it's easy to see how things could snowball with recruiting and on-court success. A top 5 seed should g...

That seems to be asking and expecting an awful lot. I can see him hitting that in rebounds but I don't see him averaging double figure points yet
Did he even score that many in a game this year?

Re: Wichita State Moves to the AAC

RJ Are you confident that those schools who don't finance basketball to the level of their conference brethren will do so forever? This is all doom and gloom. If you're not in a football power conference, you have no chance in basketball. Maybe we should all start rooting for BC since all other sch...

Re: '17 Grad Transfer F Khris Lane

We have open spots and front court needs. Not saying that Lane is the guy, but if you find a good player/team fit, then you pull the trigger. Wait too long and you risk losing out. With the grad transfers, it's a one year commitment. a lot easier to afford a swing and miss.

Re: General Recruiting Discussion/Comments

realistically, what's the chance we add a grad transfer for next year? This team can be good as currently constructed, but it's ceiling is capped if we can't add another big.

Re: General Recruiting Discussion/Comments

Agreed. Trust in Dan, trust in the process. If he wants Fatts over Langford, then it was the right move, and we can enjoy watching this play out over the next 4 years. Umm, was he recruiting him? URI was never really associated with MAL, so I don't think it was a matter of taking one over the other...

Re: General Recruiting Discussion/Comments

Yes, MAL is higher rated than Fatts. Quade Green, who is going to Kentucky, is higher rated than MAL. Fatts held his own against Green. Anyway, it will be fun to watch for the next few years. If Fatts was going to Kentucky he'd be a 4 or 5 star. A lot of the rankings are subjective based on who wan...

Re: Possible Wichita State move to the AAC

If you don't have big time Bowl Championship football you are a mid-major....the big east is the best mid-major conference....the A-10 trails them... Unfortunately the media doesn't apply that mid major label when big east teams play in march. When I see PC/georgetown/seton hall/etc. with that labe...

Re: Possible Wichita State move to the AAC

Stop calling this conference a mid major, it's one of the top two basketball focused conferences in the country. Cut the three programs that can't cut it financially, facilities wise, following wise etc and add Sienna who has a high upside and adds another great location. If or when Umass moves out...

Re: Possible Wichita State move to the AAC

Oh I don't mean for WSU - they're going to a conference with football money. Travel expenses for a basketball team in the AAC are a drop in the bucket. Charter flights are the norm in those conferences. They probably have it into their agreement that the conference will pick up that tab amongst oth...

Re: Possible Wichita State move to the AAC

Conference realignment will probably happen again at some point, and we need to make sure we're in the best position possible when it does. A few years of sustained success could be huge for the program. We have to ride Dan as far and as long as we can. Look what Shaka did for VCU, Laranaga for Geor...
