So much for Cooley and Archie’s “close friendship”. As they say, with friends like these, who needs enemies…. I don’t question them being friends at all now, Kenny leaving has zero bearing on that. Kenny upgraded his job is every single way possible. Who’s to say Kenny didn’t reach out initially?

I just find it pathetic/funny in a said way/hopeless all we’ve had this offseason are multiple players leaving, coach leaving, and ZERO incoming transfers.

Conwell has a visit with NC State. Kent and Larry visiting Texas. Kind of expected that, SLU might get Swope but I’m pretty sure at least 3 of those guys go P5. Yes, I did also, but if Schertz can still bring in Avila and Swope not bad. Plus returning Gibby, Hargrove, and Hughes, they can be compet...

Two players should not be on our team next year: Wright and Traore. They are low-major players. However, I'm completely confused about why people wouldn't get excited about Manyawu. This reminds me of the people who were negative about Green when he also put up decent numbers in the conference USA....

Maybe I'm wrong on this, but the lack of announcement doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me. Everyone who needs to know already knows. If Kenny is really gone then we likely already have a replacement lined up to, so I'm not too worried about it. Adam, that thought of yours came to me earlier,...

A big man target here freshman Cam Manyawu 6’9 forward from Wyoming has been in contact with the staff. Averaged 7 ppg and 6 rpg last year. Finally some news !

I need to see the A10 media rights agreement that was just signed and how much URI gets from it first. So it's a no for me. Why the hell do you need to see how much they get? For the millionth time, If it’s $1 or $1000000, URI is allowed to contribute ZERO to NIL. But continue bringing this up! May...

What was fascinating was how good UConn guards were on both defense and offense. This was masterful display of the UConn's staff's understanding of how to play Edey and limit the three point shooting of Purdue. Purdue guards did not measure up UConn's and they scored a combined 17 points. That does...

Hurley is a great coach. No doubt. But his in-game antics are incredibly cringeworthy. He acts like an a child. If you remember, his first 3-4 years with us he acted like a fool on many occasions. His behavior was borderline embarrassing. He acknowledged it at some point and definitely reined it in...

RIFan wrote: ↑1 week ago It’s not NIL in a vacuum, it’s NIL plus no sit transfers that is causing the massive player movement. Plus, I assume more people are getting paid now than before and in larger sums.

Transfers will drop after next season.

The extra Covid year will have expired.

Rhody15

Hurley isn't leaving UConn. Certainly not before he passes Calhoun for titles. Then - it would be more likely he retires. Just like when I said Kentucky would be open, and Dan would use this as leverage to improve UConn (assistant's pay, NIL, etc), Dan isn't doing another rebuild. He's a God in a p...

Aside from losing Dan Hurley, Kenny Johnson moving out would be the worst loss in URI athletics history. The implications would be drastic. They really would be. Realistically, he is all but gone, and so is Hammond (as if he’d stay for more than two years anyway). There is just this sad lack of loy...

Rhody15

Am I the only one checking in on Hammond? This kid is the real fucking deal. Yeah he does not only run the offense at a fast pace efficiently and is a great play maker for his teammates. It seems like he really has improved his 3 point shot. His defense is very good too. He had an awesome steal in ...

We don't recruit New England kids. We do - we were in the mix with Amdy last year and couldn't afford him. I know we do. I was being sarcastic. We just can't land any of them.

Maybe EC would have come here (although I doubt it) ,but I totally disagree about Jared.

I don't blame the kids at...

Whether it was pre-NIL or now, we would never be in the discussion with certain kids, so drawing comparisons to "million dollar demands" is an exercise in absurdity. When the dust settles the 5-star kids get the big bucks and go to the P4 conferences. They were going to those schools befo...

One thing that I think absolutely needs to change is the collective has to have the option to direct your payment 100% to the program of your choice.
