Re: Rhody Rehab is Open
So in the scheme of things (at the moment) it seems we've traded Kortright and Hammond for Bassy and Lawrence. I'm not sure I like that trade, but can talk myself into it. I’d resigned myself to thinking Hammond wasn’t coming about 6 -8 weeks ago. Never appeared at a URI game including local to DC ...

Coaches value has gone up.
If you have a mid-major that makes the tournament with a large nucleus that are underclassmen then expect the coach + those players to be packaged by the coaches agent when high majors are looking to fill their opening.
