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 Like the back to basket play(yes outdated)maybe to pass back out to the perimeter for bombs away He has a nice looking jump hook with a nice touch, 105.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.

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. ...

Good stuff, ECR

That reminds me…

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...

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...

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...

Jdrums#3

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 ?

High Point. Good level for him this coming season. He does well and he can move up in level for the following season.

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. Archie kept our core and added Lawrence but we need a good big or two now to keep up. I wonder what this week brings for us ? Good news on ...

Jdrums#3

Good point, Dean, regarding the A10. It seems to me, now that you raised that point, that the top 10 NET conferences are set going forward barring any other major changes to cbb in transferring, paying players, realignment, etc. What I mean by that is, from season to season, we will see movement up ...

Jdrums#3

Obviously we need a couple of bigs to add to Fuchs at the 5 position (including one of the 2 that can play some 4).

But, this is an important time for the A10, too, because, so far, it has lost more than it has added, I believe.

Interesting weeks coming up for us and the conference.

Jdrums#3

Good stuff, NYG and Mrs NYG. It is good to know some commitments still matter.

Congratulations!

Jdrums#3

Hopefully, Ramster, we are doing some last minute portal tampering - oops! I meant recruiting - in regards to front court help.

Nice weekend for some visits. Cloudy but in the 60’s. The campus must look great, too.

This thought crossed my mind…

The thought of all of us on KB - in unison upon Rhody obtaining its next NCAAT bid - celebrating by banging the cow bell and doing that dance just like that, made me snot-laugh.

I have a feeling its Phil Martelli - known Archie for a while dating back to Dayton days. Son coaching down the street. Out of a job after Howard fired.

Good for Duq, Jersey. A good Duq is better for the A10 and us by extension. I would like to see them add Bronny, too.

Plus, I’d enjoy beating a good Duq more - when we get good.

Reef, if we don’t sign a solid big soon then, we might have to put Lawrence on the rack to see if we can stretch him out to 6-8” ish, at least.

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.
