Yeah, I'm not some guy asking recruiting analysts questions on twitter like you and passing their word off as inside information, of which you have none.

Feel free to say "I told you so" when appropriate. Until then, keep living in fantasy land.

They wanted a practice body, they got one. Really that simple. You don't give a "practice body" a 4 year scholarship. Really that simple. We'll see if he transfers or not, but you certainly don't know that he will for a fact. They need to have 4 scholarships avaialble in order to bring in...

FattsAndFurious

He's been really inefficient despite his large point and rebound numbers. Stop turning the ball over and we're looking at a star. He and Jeff are keeping this program afloat right now.

FattsAndFurious

Theres no point at looking at Clarke as 2021. By that point he'll be entering the draft from HS, or he will have reclassified to 2020. I expect coaches to recruit him as if he were a year older. Sadly, we have zero chance. Bt still it's cool seeing a semi local kid blow up like this. He's been bette...

That makes no sense

FattsAndFurious

Aris was dressed in street clothes at the Holy Cross game.....wonder if a redshirt is possible.... Can't hurt at this point. Honestly no offense to the kid, but I really wish we used that scholarship on a shooter. We need a guy who can light it up, especially with Fatts' shooting now a major questi...

FattsAndFurious

We're shooting 8% lower from 3 than the worst teams in the country last year. No matter what, we're due for some regression to the mean

FattsAndFurious

We can choose to trust the coaches in their assessment of players......or we can choose not to trust them.... In the end the head coach's job depends on their success in judging recruits.....too many misjudgments over 3 recruiting cycles will cost any coach his job..... I agree. At URI’s level it i...

FattsAndFurious

watch the games, we're getting open shots and missing them, there is a combination of factors, coaching and playing, leading to poor percentages. Perhaps pressure and expectations are the underlying issues. Again, we'll have to be patient. Those who are pooping on Fatts for poor play and Cox for po...

FattsAndFurious

Holy Cross is realy solid this year, but still, losing would be very bad optics for Cox. To miss on all of your top recruiting targets and then open the year by being one of the worst offensive teams in the country... not sure you could ask for a worse start. He needs to turn it around ASAP. It woul...

FattsAndFurious

Jeff can still run point and defend the 2 while Fatts plays the 2 offensively and guards the opposing PG defensively. Not sure how people don't get this.

FattsAndFurious

Yeah I think at this point even if it hurts us in the immediate term, you need to stick with the young guys so when A10 games start, they're more ready to compete. The conference is still wide open.

FattsAndFurious

That photo needs to be posted on the URI locker room bulletin board. Not that any more motivation is needed but it will keep the fire burning brightly. We can use all the juice we can get. No violence, or cheap shots just intensity and competitive fire. If they are stupid and insensitive enough to ...

FattsAndFurious

Let's just keep this here for posterity's sake... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DtLrudKU4AAUWyj.jpg Lol. Some fool on Twitter a couple of years ago was trying to tell me Cooley was never an assistant coach at URI. I sent him the proof and he deleted the tweet. He couldn’t even own up to being wrong. ...

FattsAndFurious

Nick Honor, Luka Brajkovic, Jared Bynum, Obi Toppin, Kyle Lofton, Sincere Carry, and Cart'are Gordon seem like the best freshman so far. A lot of pleasant surprises in that group.

FattsAndFurious

Fatts and Ashton-Langford must be in a competition for the worst guard in the state this year. Crazy

FattsAndFurious

Really can't lose this game or we're already going to have to consider Providence and West Virginia must wins. You have to think that at some point we're going to start hitting some 3s at a better %.

Juiston had a ton of high major offers and somehow landed at UNLV... We never had a shot with that kid Preston or not.

FattsAndFurious

Fatts needs to attack the rim and only shoot open 3s. His inefficiency has been a huge problem

FattsAndFurious

Nice add, he looked good in limited minutes last yr

FattsAndFurious

Be interesting to follow MCLeods career . Let's hope he doesn't turn out to be a beast He'll end up just like Koumadje, who in his senior year this year is finally on court for 40% of the game. What a waste. He's choosing to ride the bench behind Koprivica for 4 years. They probably told him Kopriv...

FattsAndFurious

Sucks to miss on all 3 of your top targets, but Hammond was a clutch rebound from Bishop. Hopefully we find one here for the C positon

FattsAndFurious

Would be very clutch to know we'll at least have a reliable shot blocker for years to come.

FattsAndFurious

Your assumptions have the influencers pushing to a big school for their benefit. Kind of a negative look at it. There are many coaches, parents etc tgat actually look out for what is best for their player/son. It might be the playing time, the college coach, academics etc. In college basketball tod...

FattsAndFurious

We lost out because Miami and Xavier decided they wanted Walker and Bishop. If FSU pushes for his commitment in the next two weeks we will most likely see the same result. We thought we had built strong relationships with Bishop and Walker, but in the end it didn’t matter. Hopefully Koprivica going...

FattsAndFurious

He would play behind Langevine one year and then potentially start. That's an ideal situation. i think we've lost out on some other recruits because playing time wasn't as clear cut. No excuses here. We lost out because Miami and Xavier decided they wanted Walker and Bishop. If FSU pushes for his c...

FattsAndFurious

LaSalle never had a shot with Scott. He's too good. It's hard enough for Temple to even keep kids like him in state, let alone LaSalle.

FattsAndFurious

Really like the kids frame, he just needs to improve his jumper and the rest will come to him. He, Martin, and Tate could give us the Celtics' positionless type of feel because they'll all be able to switch between each others guy on D.

FattsAndFurious

Doesn't seem like he's anything more than a fallback for FSU.

FattsAndFurious

As you know Kofi is taking the process slow. He has narrowed it down to 8 schools and just scheduled his first visit to UCONN for next weekend. He likely has 4 more visits after that. Not expected to sign in November. Koprivica has no other official visits scheduled. He plays for Monteverde Academy...

FattsAndFurious

Got a good feeling here. Koprivica to FSU is pretty likely at this point. They definitely wouldn't take McLeod at the point

FattsAndFurious

People are way too low on this kid. He only played 4 EYBL games but he was a beast in them. High shooting % and a ton of blocks. He's not 7 feet tall but he's less raw than Mcleod

FattsAndFurious

pie in sky guy here but I always wonder about a deal like this. Such an extreme talent why not us? TV cameras would come to cover he'd be just as huge a deal here as in Lexington. One and done, really what difference would it make to the player? I am a homer of course but it is kinda nice here actu...

FattsAndFurious

Lol it's crazy how twitter has made these kids think they're celebrities. Walker is only a 4 star one one website, and he thinks he's a 1 or 2 and done? Yikes

FattsAndFurious

You can only take his commitment if Walker is a no go. No need to rush it.

FattsAndFurious

I want them both. Mading can literally play 4 positions. He’s 6’10 and is smooth as a PG. I think your letting people who’ve seen him play 2-3 times cloud your judgement. The kid can play. Mading plays against absolutely horrible competition. There's very little chance he plays anything more than t...

FattsAndFurious

I'd much rather have Hammond than Mading. Not even close for me.

FattsAndFurious

Hurley didn’t wait long to recruit over Brendan Adams. First two ‘19 commits are a PG and SG who he is selling as the players to turn the program around. So in your opinion should college coaches only recruit one guard every 4 years? Was Cox recruiting over Tyrese and Omar by going after Bishop? Ev...

FattsAndFurious

38% from the field and 26% from 3 for LA Supreme. Big rebound numbers for a 2 guard and good assist to turnover numbers (2.6 to 1.3). Looks like he had 2 horrible games back to back dragging those % down. SFA and LA Tech know how to find good players. I like him

FattsAndFurious

Pitt scheduled visit at school with Karim Coulibaly (6’ 9”PF). That has to be a good sign for URI. Or maybe Pitt is just doing that to pressure Walker into making a decision earlier. Hopefully we can get him on campus and have a chance in this. One is a PF/C and the other is a SF/PF. I don't think ...

You win some you lose some, moving on. We’re fighting Pitt and Xavier for recruits, not other A10 programs. It may be only a moral victory, but it does show the progression that the program has made. When we start winning these consistently, the whole country will be put on notice. Until then, I st...

Corey Evans picks Walker to Pitt on Rivals crystal ball too

FattsAndFurious

Can't mean good things for our 2019 class. Kind of a bummer on that note. Hope this kid can bring more to the table than Layssard.

FattsAndFurious

Capel will sell conference, immediate playing time and the chance to be part of a rebuild. Doesn't seem like he's going to get a class that will help rebuild them much given how far behind they are every other program in the ACC at this point. Even if they get Walker, he could be their best recruit...

FattsAndFurious

....ok Guys. I’ve seen this play out before. Brian Snow knows. He was unsure when Harris was between URI and XU, but there was no hesitation this time. Again, don’t be surprised.
