A proposal (based on an obscure Star Trek episode - yes, I'm a sci-fi nerd): There was a storyline where the crew was finally able to ensnare a mischievous group operating out of the holodeck, placing them inside a computer program where they thought they were still actively engaged with the outsid...

We have an interesting fan base. This rotation, as of 3:47 on 4/22, is already better than last year's and it's not even close.

I just want to beat Brown, win 9 A-10 games, and not get beat in the Tuesday afternoon PIG. We need to be better than the last two years. So, “not sucking” would be what, getting the single bye? Not getting to far ahead. Players still to come, and go? Yeah. That is where people are at. Forget about...

Most people think we should be back in the tourney by year 4. So, would it have been better to have Ben Hammond and Cam Estevez here this year? Or would it be better to have Jaden House and Sebastian Thomas here this year, both of whom will not be next year? There's no guarantee that Ben and Cam wo...

If URI can not continue to beef up their NIL. We are on a track to playing BU and NU twice a year and games in Keaney. Just the FACTS! Maybe the Ryan center can become an indoor turf farm. Donate to NIL! GO RHODY! Do you think people have endless money to buy season tickets, normal donations and th...

That would be a major get Cmon. He has averaged 1.5 and 2.1 minutes per game at UConn. You have never seen this play or has anyone else and because he is buried deep on the bench at UConn and plays in 35 point games a few minutes this a major get? I guess we are going to do this game again like we ...

We need bigs so, get Apotoslos in for a visit/workout IF he is open to it. What do we have to lose ? If he played for Dan, I have to think he has a good attitude and is a hard worker.

The crazy thing is, as much as it doesn't seem like it, if you truly believe it's all about the money this is the most equal college basketball has been in decades and the most equal it will be once the players are considered employees. UCLA and John Wooden were paying players and nothing happened,...

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 actually think Lawrence could be an all-conference player this year if he makes a jump. Lawrence ha...

RamStock

I didn't really understand (still don't) the excitement over an undersized freshman point guard to come in and play a key role. He may turn into a star someday, but chances are slim to none it's happening as a freshman. It's mostly a year to year game now. There's no reason I can see not to have an...

You were going to have Hammond or Lawrence, not both. For one year...who do you take? Hammond in a second. He would have been the future if they could have kept him somehow for 4 years For one year?

I don't like the direction college basketball and sports around the nation is head in...or even the country for that matter. It's all the same. It's all greed, which tends to lead to corruption. Anyone remember how Rome fell? Devaluing education. the money grab mantra, betting on anything & eve...

The hits just keep coming. No exciting incoming freshman any longer. KJ gone. Zero buzz. Sure we got the one transfer, but it just feels like a drop in the ocean. This sport is such a joke now. Hammonds was the one guy that created buzz and had a chance to be something special. We are stuck with a ...

RamStock

If Hammond leaves then that might be the final straw Agree. He is by the far the best guy he brought here. Someone that has the talent to get them out of this doldrums. Most of the players were busts or average at best players like House or Luis that Kenny brought here. There was no building the br...

A big man target here freshman Cam Manyawu 6’9 forward from Wyoming has been in contact with the staff. Averaged 7 ppg and 6 rpg last year. Finally some news ! Thanks What do those numbers translate to in the A10? 4 and 5? Considering that the A-10 stinks it would be a jump in numbers. He played ag...

RamStock

Two players should not be on our team next year: Wright and Traore. They are low-major players. However, I'm completely confused about why people wouldn't get excited about Manyawu. This reminds me of the people who were negative about Green when he also put up decent numbers in the conference USA....

It should have been a scholarship and a set amount for each player. If that isn’t good enough the could choose not to go to college. I have bought season tickets and up until 2 years ago and donated money to the university. No linger wasting money on season tickets and donations and zero percent cha...

I love the NIL creativity that Dawn Staley is showing at South Carolina. When approached by a local corporation, she said she would represent them IF and only IF they offered an NIL opportunity to each of her players, including stock options. Builds team loyalty, while teaching life lessons about e...

Both Avila and his coach had everyone returning and could have made it a special season while making the tourney. He then could have parlayed his success into a much better job than St. Louis. Both will probably end up with a very mediocre season at best next year instead of making the tourney Sche...

RamStock

per espn Indiana State star Robbie Avila, one of the breakout stars of the 2023-24 college basketball season, has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Avila's portal entry is marked by a red exclamation point, which means not to reach out to him, a sign that he's already made up his mind on his destin...

RamStock

I don’t think they’re talking about KJ. Otherwise why would they wait to announce it? It’s probably a coach of a FF team. That said, again, Hammond and his coaches have talked about Archie Miller as a main reason for coming to URI. Also, with how overbearing and involved Georgetown boosters are - d...

RamStock

One thing that should never happen again is a program getting put on probation for illegal benefits. It is the complete Wild West and with 90% or more of these players never going to be in the NBA or a high end basketball career the education/school end of it is a a complete joke. I give credit to p...

RamStock

P5 teams were already paying players when EC and Terrell came here. So this argument doesn't really fit. All of them? And if yes, how much? Maybe not all, but a hell of a lot of them were. Hard to say exactly how much because it was all so hidden. The players parents suddenly get a new job that the...

RamStock

Whether it was pre-NIL or now, we would never be in the discussion with certain kids, so drawing comparisons to "million dollar demands" is an exercise in absurdity. When the dust settles the 5-star kids get the big bucks and go to the P4 conferences. They were going to those schools befo...

RamStock

I agree with some of this, Blue, but examples on both sides could provide a clearer picture. For instance, George Mason lost its head coach and arguably the best player in the conference, Josh Oduru. Their leading scorer this year was Keyshawn Hall, who transferred from UNLV. Their second-leading s...

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?

This kind of mentality is the end of college sports. How can you compare grown men that have proven themselves and earned a JOB to lead a basketball team and program with all the responsibilities that come with that, to a kid who is playing a sport at a college (oh, on a full ride)?

From the Projo today. Sounds like Archie wants to run it back with a good amount of the guys from this season. “We need to bring back a significant portion of this roster that’s about the right things, and we need our fans to start to grow with them a little bit. “We need our place to start to unde...

RamStock

Anyone thinking we need to keep the majority of our players shouldn’t complain next year when this last place team has another bad or mediocre year at best. You aren’t going to the NCAA tourney with House and Montgomery. They have a losing feel about them. Maybe 5 guys that are all young and start f...

RamStock

Honestly I feel for Archie and staff. These guys on the floor are a bunch of knuckleheads. He brought these guys in. It is his responsibility to get the best out of them. It is on him easily as much as these players. I don’t feel bad for Archie at all. How about adjusting or trying something new

RamStock

Hey guys. Serious question. Do you think Archie is feeling it and might be receptive to a reduced buyout ? I doubt that happens , I think Arch will fulfill the whole contract 100% he is here until the end of his contract. They don’t have the money to buy him out and hire another coach and they will...

Its still way too early to be making any comparisons to Cox or Jerry D, or to be counting out Archie just yet.

Not watching this but whoever is must love pain. This truly isnt far off from Jerry Duh land. Man Thorr and Parlange must be really rethinking this hire. Spoke to Thorr last week. He said he's very happy with Archie, understands this is a long process, and is excited for the ride. I don't think he ...

Who on this team seems to play the defense Archie is asking for? This team has talent on the offensive side, but they just either are not athletic/quick enough, interested in trying or just not getting the defensive concepts. You really think it will all of a sudden click for them next year? This i...

I dont care what anybody else says, but it there isnt a major turnaround next season, Archie's seat needs to get very warm. Not saying he's gone after year 3, but year 4 should be his last if it happens again. I just dont see a big jump next season unless he pulls a rabbit out of his hat with sever...
