Not Rhode Island news, but Way’s brother All Wright has committed to Valpo.

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 Did not know he was teammates ...

On April 1st I was told the store would be open within 2 weeks...so that hasn't happened. The other stuff I know takes time and it's basically like a new collective.

This does not look like a move for more NIL money. Tenn St, of the Ohio Valley Conference, was 18-15 last season with a NET rank of #282. They averaged 1,521 in their 9,100 seat Gentry Complex. The program has only been to two D1 NCAA Tournaments - 1993 and 1994, as it had been D2 up until the 1978...

Wilborn is someone I thought we would be showing interest in. 6’8” All-NEC Freshman forward from CT, who averaged 10.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.6 blocks. A10 would be the perfect move up for him. https://x.com/theportalreport/status/1785304991391248841?s=46&t=X3tFdRrojFvLeOstPVmZqw

Can I offer. Tyson, Zek, Rory, couldn’t sniff a BE roster. That alone is an upgrade to me. No? Brandon Weston was a Top 100 Big East recruit. He is now on Tennessee St in the Ohio Valley Conference after failing to consistently contribute on two terrible A10 teams. Being on a benchwarmer on a Big E...

I keep seeing them on my feed, and they comment under every URI related tweet lol. I hope we keep seeing more it’s good for the fanbase having a lot of representation on Twitter.

What does this tell you?

Pretty sure he announced he was returning but you never know until it’s after May 1st.

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 last in a Head Coach ...

Also heard that Texas Tech is a possible landing spot for him.

It’s officially announced. Trilly dropped the info last night

Just as Kenny Johnson was kept secret as well

The only reason we found out about Johnson was someone found a blurry picture from a URI practice and somehow identified it was Johnson.

Would be a better fit in the MAAC imo. Wouldn’t have minded him off the bench but if he was wants a starting role and more playing time he’s better off at Marist or Sacred Heart.

I swear if he goes to Providence…

I'm guessing Tom Ostrom, now at Drake. Another possibility would be Bruiser Flint, although I think he's following Cal. Interesting that Wyoming transfer Cam Manyawu (6’9 F) just visited Drake. Could Ostrom influence him to pick URI? Assuming of course that Ostrom is the guy. Saint Louis - April 15...

Yes, if Archie’s going in a different direction than Kenny it makes sense that it might be a former head coach. There’s a lot available who may be looking to get back into the game, would be a good move.
I meant, a former URI coach?

Oh, probably not

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...

So,where does this leave us? Probably outside looking in.

I have a feeling we were never seriously involved with him. We were all desperate for news and the only thing everyone found was Cunningham was following him.

I don't see any reason to believe Cunningham is our lead recruiter. It’s because the other assistants have definitely learned not to follow the guys they’re recruiting Kenny and Duane both have.
