Re: Roster 2020-21

Assuming we can’t find/fill the last two scholarships with bigs, what’s the likelihood we run 4 guards and 1 F in the lineups? I know this move has burnt us against bigger teams (i.e. Virginia game —watching a guy like Stan Robinson’s size to try and guard a big is rough), but I feel like with our g...

Re: The David Cox Era

More usage for Cyril is not the answer, and what improved shooting? He has missed about a dozen layups, commits 4 turnovers per game, commits 2 charges per game, and has taken 63 shots through 6 games. More usage for Cyril is not the answer. He has had to be relied upon because no one else is contr...

Re: The David Cox Era

How about we stop bombing 3s? None of our guards where recruited as spot up 3 point shooters. Fatts/slasher, Jeff/slasher, Martin/slasher, Thompson/slasher. These guys should be getting to the hole, not settling for deep 3s. The only guy you’d probably spot up (eventually) is Silverio. Start up the...

3 years at the earliest. WTF?! When DH was hired what were you saying about how long it would take URI to return to the dance? Jesus. Dan Hurley inherited a dumpster fire.

Re: The Official URI’s Head Coach Thread....

In reading Kevin's article on Hurley in the projo today, his comment towards the end about former URI coaches leaving for better gigs got me thinking.

Re: Dan Hurley Coach's Show - 6pm Wed Nov 29 @ Mews Tavern

Nice summary ramster. I really liked the interview with Fatts. He comes across as a well rounded man and player that never quits (limitless as he says). On recruiting Fatts, Hurley joked saying he was the second best PG at Nike EYBL. Number one there was Trae Young who dropped 43 pts on ORE last wee...

Re: 11/24 | Virginia Cavaliers | 7:30PM (ESPNU)

Can someone explain why Dan/staff was so adamant on having Stan guard Wilkins? With Cyril out, I feel like this would have been the match-up to see either Tertsea or Layssard get involved. I get that their talent is raw, but why would you have a guy thats 6'4" guard a 6'7" forward? Not to ...

Re: The EC Wristwatch

Stay positive. We're guard deep with veterans. Time for Garrett, Terrell, and Stan to play and act likes senior leaders. Jeff is in a lil offensive funk but will turn it around. Fatts has that Hurley style grit. Offensively we likely take a hit, but maybe its a blessing in disguise as I felt the tea...

UNCA starting 4 players 6'3" or smaller. Do we go 4 guards starting? Or do we start Berry? Andre could possibly dominate on the offensive boards against this small team. But who does he guard on defense? I guess he could guard their big, but that takes Cyril away from the basket to guard one o...
