RamIt, thanks for adding this. I like the addition to the team. He adds depth at 3 positions potentially: wing, power forward, center depending on foul trouble, injury and matchup’s. I haven’t seen or read much of him other than the vid posted and what Bill Koch wrote the other day. Are you more fam...

True, PRT. Shouldn’t overlook or underestimate the possibility of returning players improving. I didn’t consider it in the debate with NYG. That said, NYG’s an intelligent poster. I even recommended him for Rhody GM/KB liaison earlier today. I might have to rethink that if he keeps disagreeing with ...

Jesus Christ. It is crystal clear that is a parody account of Malachi Smith. I guess people are going to continue to fall for these accounts huh I'm not Jesus. But thanks for the compliment. I'm going to get all crazy here and suggest we stop using "Jesus Christ" as a retort....what do we...

Jdrums#3

If he could is a big if, NYG. I don’t think we can yet as I don’t believe we are able to from an NIL standpoint at this point in time. We are paying for the core and the 3 new players we brought in already. Do you know that we have the NIL money available to add 3 more talented starters in addition ...

Jdrums#3

NYG, 3 more starter quality players would be great from our perspective as fans. But, I don’t think 3 more starter level players in the portal would even consider coming here as it would be too crowded for PT. Plus, not sure we can even afford them. Also, yes it is too late for one of the core start...

Thanks for clarifying on the PG situation at Tenn, PRT.

Jdrums#3

The C’s are on fire tonight, so far. 8 of 14 from 3. Up 18 after 1 qtr.

Finish off the Heat!

Jdrums#3

Per 247Sports.com, Tenn lost 7 from their Elite 8 team and added 3 from the portal so far. Between those 3 adds and 6 leftovers, I didn’t see a PG listed. Hard for me to think they can’t nab a good, experienced PG from the portal with their NIL and PT available at that position. I must have have ove...

We are going to be about a .500 team in conference and maybe slightly above that overall. As of now, my take anyway. Again, not good enough. I still hope we get another impact transfer which could improve that prediction. Bone, we have 4 openings left ? My wish list for 2 of the final 4 spots that ...

Good breakdown, Jersey. Thanks!

I do. I can still shoot. I just can't run or jump anymore. Is that good enough?
What do you think about playing D?
I'm not crossing half court.

I wonder if that means you only get half the NIL you would normally receive ?

Loyola may be the only A10 team that currently has their entire 24-25 roster filled, all 13 scholarships. They seem to have a solid rotation and could finish in the top 4 again. They return: (CG/Wing)) Watson - 2nt Team All-A10 (23-24) averaged 12.6 pts (39% 3PT)/4.6 rebs. (C) Miles- All-Defensive ...

Hi Scott, not directly related to Rhody but I think indirectly impactful: 1. What is his present scheduling strategy with the P6 and is he satisfied with how it is working ? 2. What’s his stance on the size of the A10 ? Is it good as is or would he like to see further expansion ? I would like to inc...

Jdrums#3

Great points guys , I’m happy with the Bassy addition and like a starting lineup of DG Fuchs Jaden Bassy DLaw That is the best 5 for me too, Reef, pending any further starter level additions. I am not expecting any more starter level additions, however, but I do hope we are keeping the door open fo...

I nominate NYG for the position as GM/KB liaison.

Not sure if NYG is bringing any players with him, to answer your question, 104, unless he brings a few from KB. Anyone here have any eligibility left ?

Jdrums#3

How do I block someone on KB? Man this guy above is mentally ill, and No Rhody Rehab will not help. LTR, here’s is my unsolicited recommendation…. ECR is like the KB DJ. Don’t block him; make requests. :lol: I enjoy the classics (rock, Mo-town, Philly sound, UK bands) from the 60’s, 70’s (no disco ...

I would have to go back and check, PRT, but I thought Zapala looked to have more spring in his jump. I could be wrong as my memory isn’t as reliable as in the past.

I would like to see even more of the MTE’s created so the the A10 can get even more games against the P6.

https://youtu.be/Br11bGOOVNE?si=wD4dtggphm1ttISw Thanks for posting the vid, PRT. Did a first quick viewing of the first part. The good: He’s big, has a nice touch, has a nice stroke from 3. The not good: He is slow off the floor, doesn’t have much lift. He could help on O but also could struggle o...

Good point, 105. It looks like Archie did a good job plugging the PG hole for this coming season.

Jdrums#3

Not sure if anyone posted this prior but espn reported (I think it was yesterday) that UAB was the first D1 FB program to join the college players association union. Trent Dilfer is the HC there and, evidently, is in favor of the move. Not surprising considering he played in the NFL and was a member...

I Am in. Like the back to basket play(yes outdated)maybe to pass back out to the perimeter for bombs away He has a nice looking jump hook with a nice touch, 105. 👍🏼 If we are after him, can close him and he could give us solid additional rebounding, be a rim protection threat and give us timely pos...

Good stuff, sevegny7.

I didn’t get the same impression as you looking quickly at his stats. That said, I like your’s better.

Jdrums#3

Hmmmm.🤔 I watched half the video and he grabbed my attention. Will have to look into him more. Good catch, Jakepnickers. ETA: Looks like he has one year left (listed as a Sr). Last season: averaged 10 pts last season, shot 54% from 2, not a 3 pt shooter, 4.1 rebounds a game and less than 1 block a G...

Now official. I'm intrigued by his past recruiting success as an assistant. Hopefully he can continue that here. https://twitter.com/RhodyMBB/status/1785383709304033730 Thanks for posting this, Adam. A lot of HC coaching experience on the staff is a good thing. And, we have a healthy amount of it. ...

Jdrums#3

Good stuff, ECR

That reminds me…

Jdrums#3

This is unfortunate. I don’t like seeing potential go unfulfilled in sports, but it happens. The young man has talent and should be getting better. I guess there’s a disconnect between his basketball talent, physical talent and his soft skills (taking direction, taking criticism, self-discipline, cl...

Jdrums#3

Same with me, Jersey. Very appreciative of the chart and like it as is. Further, it reminds where cbb was and where it’s going.

Jdrums#3

I agree with your post, Jersey, as to Ajogbor. Damn, he would have been an excellent compliment to Fuchs. I think Archie could have found more than enough PT for both. I have no idea how heavily we chased him, if we did at all. It’s a head scratcher for me, though, if we weren’t after him to some ex...

The Celts are winning comfortably tonight but I think the cause is crap Miami play rather than great C’s play - excluding White. He’s playing great. Drums you see KP hurt his calf ? Missed it. Had a friend text me about it. He said it didn’t look great. Any prognosis ? Will he miss multiple games ?...

Jdrums#3

Maybe 8 minutes is a little low but this guy looks to be an 8th 9th type man on a good team so I wouldn’t expect him to average 12-15 minutes. If he’s supposed to be a 6th or 7th man then I wouldn’t be too thrilled Reef, no criticism here, just a general observation: it is difficult to predict minu...

Brandon should get some good run there. Hope it goes well for him.

Jdrums#3

I like the pick up. We need depth in case Green (again) and the team catch the injury bug. From what little I’ve seen of him, he looks muscular enough to play some traditional 4 in a pinch if we go with a bigger lineup (with Fuchs) when Green is out of the game for a break or foul trouble. Additiona...

Jdrums#3

Not for nothing, but imo the..."we need bigs" "where the bigs at?" talk is getting to be way more monotonous than the you know what talk...just sayin'.....errrrrrr "we get it" :lol: Who cares if we get it. Do Archie and the staff get it ? That’s the big question. :lol:

Jdrums#3

Good questions And if a player enters the Portal but then decides to return to his school does he count in the 1,875? How many of the 1,875 are available right now? Ramster, recent count tonight is that 1,146 players are still available. The 1,875 that entered includes walk-ons plus players that re...

Probably because he can get all the Drakes Yankee Doodles and Devil Dogs he can eat. That’s a program resource only the University of Hostess can compete with.

Bone, it has been a slow portal season for us compared to last year. Although, I really like the Lawrence addition - potentially (will have to wait until he plays games for us before knowing) easily Archie’s best addition to date, imho. But we need at least one more good big - or, at least good on D...

Holmes is still in play for a return.

Good question, 78. Although he is close by in NY. That said, we don’t appear - on quick glance - to be involved with many recruits going by this side of KB: 2-3 in 25’s; any 26’s (?); one ‘27. This part of the board has no-where near the prep recruiting buzz it used to have. Maybe the prep recruitin...

I’d like an international big. One that can play above the rim, preferably, because Green (when/if he plays the 4) and Fuchs aren’t quick leapers or play above the rim.

Fuchs doesn’t have any buddies in Europe that can help us out ?

Jersey, SLU is making a bee line for the top of the conference for next season. They appear to have the early lead in the horse race but still a long way to go.
