Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23
Hammond in a second. He would have been the future if they could have kept him somehow for 4 years For one year? Lawrence, without question. Lawrence is a better player right now. You want Hammond because he could have developed into an all-conference guard. He wasn't going to be that next year. I ...

Re: URI Rhode to Excellence Poll

But good or bad in order to have a chance at winning games we need to support NIL. I am signed up for a yearly subscription. I aslo believe that Archie is a great c...

Preston Murphy - go get a guy that has brought talent here before. He looked pretty active on a final four team's bench.

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?

What was fascinating was how good UConn guards were on both defense and offense.

Purdue guards did not measure up UConn's and they scored a combined 17 points. That does...
