Who can you envision? Just guessing but maybe Charles Thomas on the short list, unless Joyce hires him back for the Dukes. He was an assistant last season at SLU and before that many years for Dambrot at Akron and Duquesne. He also happens to be from Dayton, Ohio. But the source said the person was...

Mark Turgeon was mentioned above but I can't see him taking on an assistant's job at a place like URI. He was a head coach in the Big Ten and Big-12 and led three programs (Wichita St, Texas A&M, and Maryland) to ten NCAA's with a couple of Sweet-16's. The Kansas native Turgeon has a career win...

Friendly reminder that just because something hasn't leaked doesn't mean something hasn't happened I understand that and we also don’t know there is a done deal in place. I feel confident in my source that there is a coach in place 👍 Either way, hopefully we get some information next week.

I agree, Jersey. Lawrence is better at the 2. Watching the clips Scott played in the interview, I was impressed with his passing. That skill should help our O significantly. I saw him play several times at the Pinnacle Bank Arena and was really impressed with his speed and basketball IQ. Having him...

Jersey77

Gotcha... My guess is they are keeping him quiet so that he can work in the phones in an almost incognito way as the portal gets ready to close down on May 1. I am not sure what purpose that serves. I just feal that a deal hasn't been finalized yet. No information has even been leaked out yet, just...

I know, right. All the Husker fans including my kids hated to see him leave.
Comments on his defense?

He won’t hurt us there. He has quick hands and is smart.

In the old days a player had to sit out a year when transferring In the old days a player had to sit out / years if transferring within the conference (if allowed at all and was extremely rare) Now players are often changing teams within their own conference Follow the money https://twitter.com/Mat...

he played at Nebraska I thought? Ulis who transferred from Iowa was originally penciled in as the expected starter at PG. Unfortunately, he was suspended last season for being involved in a betting scandal at Iowa. got it, thanks! ETA...so, did he transfer because now that guy is eligible? Even tho...

Jersey77

His last 7 games he shot 66% from 3. He is so damn confident. He just hit some bad luck because of the Iowa betting scandal took out their star point guard and they forced him to play the 1 most of the season. He could play the 3 also when we want to go small. he played at Nebraska I thought? Ulis ...

The staff’s handling was frustrating to me from where I sit - which not in the Ryan Ctr. But, I get that it takes two to tango so I am frustrated with Fou that he didn’t exert more effort and play smarter. Drums remember he was only a freshman and bigs usually take longer to develop. I would have l...

He also predicts him to be an A10 All-Conference player.

Yes. And I think with the extra Covid year there have been more grad students so it’s good to have all students ts on the same portal closure date. Seems common sense to begin with but it’s the Wild West without many rules or limits. Yeah Ramster, with time running out on the additional Covid year ...

Jersey77

Thanks Scott, just watched.
Great stuff, and really looking forward to seeing him in Rhody Blue.
Ironic that I just returned this week from Lincoln, Ne.

I do like our probable current starting backcourt of: Bassy, Lawrence, and House, plus Cam maybe getting starter minutes.

Great. Simple. Consistent. Good catch! This avoids some real potential problems. Glad they fixed it. ! Yes.

Jersey77

Might be some deals at the deadline. Players being too patient or trying to reach, only so many spots on each team. I think last COVID year so realistically too many people in the portal. When the music gets close to stopping they might be scrambling for a seat. Deadline is May 1st to enter the Por...

Yes, we had players trade down from high majors, but as Blue Man posted none had the same impact at that level that Lawrence did.

Yep, you are right, they both did and even better.

After multiple horrible years and losing our top recruit, if our plan G was landing the leading scorer of the American East, I think that's great. If he wasn't named Sebastian Thomas, I think we'd have a lot more excitement about landing a guard who dropped 30-40 in multiple games. But for some rea...

(PF/C) Mohamed Wague (6'10"/225) just entered the portal. He is a multi-transfer from Alabama and West Virginia, played only limited minutes. In 21-22 as a freshman was 1st Team Juco All-American (15 pts/12 rebs, 3rd in nation blocks). He is from Bronx NY, look for Duane to reach out. Nice cat...

Not sure if he was previously posted.
He would be a nice addition at forward.

Jersey I think at this point you can pencil in SLU for Top 4 contender. Just with Avila, Swopes and Jimmerson alone. That is a very good core group for this league. Besides them everyone else's roster is still too influx to make a call. Yeah, Schertz was a solid hire. In addition, they are also exp...

If Archie can't bring in any more impact players for this season, then what does that tell us? Not enough dough? Or something else? Draw your own conclusions. OR it could tell you...he likes the guys he's got in core rotation. Yeah I mean, we've improved. Literally at every position either by growt...

Jersey77

I think we need more than just one good big. Another impact wing at least Need more quality depth everywhere also. We are not close to a dance team as of now. We have 8 players and how many are high level A10 players. Need more. Currently there are no teams in the A10 that can be penciled in as fav...

I wouldn’t expect that to be a back court guy. It would seem hard to compel an impact guard to come here given how many bodies we have there that will see minutes. So if we say House is our most explosive guard then I don’t think it’s likely we bring in a better option than him. Feel like there is ...

Here’s what I’ll say about Thomas. Experience and confidence are key to being an effective PG. You would hope some of those FR/SO year mistakes were due to trying to do too much and inexperience. I would expect some of that part of his game to be cleaned up. Can’t forget there where moments of his ...

I like the Lawrence pickup Not sure how I feel about Thomas. Can see pros and cons to it but willing to see how rest of roster shapes up. What you need in this league is 2-3 dogs and then role guys.

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...

As expected, but still huge for SLU.

or...does Cam transfer?

Maybe he understands that he will be the future; Luis, House, and Bassy all in their final season, plus Lawrence will be a junior.

Time now to land some help in the frontcourt, plus a wing.

Never mind contributing to NIL. The question looming is do I want to fork out season ticket money again for a program that appears to be in complete disarray. With payment due in a few weeks, is the product worth driving an hour each way anymore. Who's on the team? Who's our lead recruiter? Has our...
