Re: Rhody Rehab is Open
What's it going to take to get our shit together? A pant load of money? A new coach who doesn't play the pack line? Any other ideas? Which of the players that have announced their transfer from URI so far do you think are leaving because they have big money waiting for them somewhere else? I can't ...

If what I saw on twitter that KJ might be leaving, there's probably a chance that both Hammond and Farrell decommit. I think it was BAR that posted it, so it's someone who knows, not someone just throwing shit out there. https://x.com/samurai_hoops/status/1769749675064602883?s=46&t=RiOaTCLvtjhX...
