Doubtful McRam.
Cunninham played and worked for Mack, they have a close relationship.

Jersey, I wonder if we have interest in William Patterson (Syracuse) and/or Josh Gray (South Carolina)? Both are still in the portal. They weren’t stars at Cuse or SC but could probably help us at center. Are you familiar with either? Both from Brooklyn. Patterson is probably very raw didn't play l...

Yikes! Who the heck was I thinking about then in that On3 list ? I better go back and check. Thanks, Jersey. Btw, have you read through the On3 list of available portal bigs remaining? If yes, any thoughts? There are still plenty available, several are out of our reach. I do follow verbal commits. ...

I still have faith in Archie , but with PC, Bryant, and most of our A10 opponents landing some solid talent it does get me a little concerned where this team is going . Archie seems like a very good , high IQ basketball coach, but he doesn’t seem to be able to attract players. With the mess around ...

I understand all this but if you think the A10 is going to maintain its stature I believe you are totally wrong. Dayton StL and VCU are gone first chance they get. Football being emphasized; basketball deemphasized.At a minimum URI needs to be ready to make a move or it’s next league will be Americ...

Any talk about URI elevating football and joining the MAC is just crazy and exhibits a total ignorance of URI athletics. URI football has been to the FCS playoffs just three times. All of these instances appeared in the short four year span from 1981 to 1985. The program has recorded by my quick co...

I'm not sure that is the correct comparison. Fuchs is our starting center. Zapala was not going to start here although he would have been in the rotation. Wasn't trying to make specific position/depth comparison. Just, is the cartel paying their bench players who might hardly play, more than the A1...

Our old friend Ousmane moving on again (Oklahoma State).
Last season he started 29 games for Xavier, averaged about 7 pts/ 6 rebs.

La Salle has been busy in the portal as of late.

I would imagine a name to keep an eye on - now followed on Twitter by our new assistant coach - is Bent Leuchten - 7'1 UC Irvine transfer from Germany that is being recruited by Missouri, Xavier, VCU, Oregon State, and more... Former teammate of David Fuchs in Germany Another 7-footer to maybe keep...

Ramfan22 wrote: ↑2 days ago Now that it’s out there (Rhody Vault tweeted it) Javonte Brown was the other 7 footer I’m aware of that visited. His stats really aren’t far off from Zapala, plus he does have high major experience although he didn’t play a whole lot at A&M and UConn.

He also has 2 years of eligibility.

VCU also in the mix now.
Ties to Odom at Utah State.

Sorry but have to say my piece. If URI is not top five next year in the A10. Miller should be fired. I have sat through two years of the worst basketball I have ever seen. I have no allegiance to a coach or player. I have allegiance to my school. And so far this coach and the players have disrespec...

There’s other players just as good if not better than Zapala we’re in the mix for. If we miss on him it wouldn’t be that big of a deal although I’d like to have him. I know, had previously hinted about that, maybe even a better option. Was just adding onto what you said Yep, all good, either way we...

Unfortunate if Zapala doesn't wind up a Ram. If the team instagram account followed him they must've thought it was a done deal and it fell through. It was never close to a done deal. Even though he's not good enough for some people on here, he has been pursued by some strong programs. IDk if he en...

If we got one stud transfer to come in, regardless of what position he plays, I don't think that stud has anything to worry about with this team regarding playing time. Why do you not acknowledge JLawrence? If Lawrence is that stud transfer, I expect him to be 1st or 2nd team A10. That's the kind o...

Don't be surprised if we have other options, that may even turn out to be better.

Jersey77

Nobody thinks Archie is just sitting back and not trying….we just don’t like the results so far. But, I agree a couple guys could get better and Lawrence could be a stud. We are relying on a lot things that could happen instead of getting players that will make it happen. Our A10 competition seems ...

Jersey77

Do you honestly think none of us want the best players possible? Every single fanbase in America wants that. Jaden House was a 14-point scorer in the A10. He is a returning, talented player who should improve. Something this team desperately lacked in the first two years was returning players who m...

To interrupt the personal animus going back and forth in this thread, Will Wade is crushing the transfer portal at McNeese fing State. Do you think they are going there for NIL money? No they are going there because they like the coach and the style of play. This team would wipe the floor with our ...

I would have loved Wilborn. I think he's going to be a great player. I think he's a better player than Zapala. But I don't understand why you think this kid is terrible. He's definitely not a project. Talking strictly about basketball, what do you not like about his game? He's a decent rim protecto...

Another NJ player I wouldn't mind Duane looking at.
Soph. PF Jerome Brewer Jr (6'9"/216) averaged about 14 pts/ 5 rebs at Texas A&M Commerce.

I don't normally use per 40 stats, but anyway, for Wilborn, they are Pts: 16.88, Reb: 11.56, Assists: 2.66, Blocks: 2.5. You are missing the fact that he was only a freshman, being an impact player in his 1st year of Div. 1. I was hoping we would get him, but I am sure the staff has other options. ...

Jersey77

What am I missing on Wilborn? I can't keep track of which angle people are taking to discredit our own guys to apply - but what need does Wilborn fill at URI? He's the same measurables as Traore - though Traore rode the bench in one of the best conferences in the league, and this kid played more on...
