NYG, 4 more starter quality players would be great from our perspective. But, I don’t think 4 more would come 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 starters we have now to enter the portal since it’s closed but b...

I believe it is Stone and Benny

True. But I’m referring to Johnson going to Georgetown. He was there working and un-announced at Georgetown for a while before “blurry picture” type leak escaped. Yeah but everyone knew he was gone, or could be gone. Was reported over a month ago. There are people that know who this guy is, but won...

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 speculation from this board.

Looks like math is hard for me.. my source said he was last a head coach in 2022..So he has been out the past 2 seasons.

How could we have hired a coach when it is required to be posted for 30 days (or whatever the time frame is)? There has been no posting. Im guessing we found a way around that, just like every other state school typically does.. Think about it, have you ever actually heard a coach say "We can'...

Smalltime. Or as 105 said, typical. Think Big - we don't. Sounds we hired a former head coach who didn't coach this past season based on my sources Is this good news?

Here's the question - are we still paying KJ if his contract ends in June? Does GT reimburse? Is there any sort of breach of contract rules that is simply part of the business of going to another job?

The packline is just a wrinkle of man to man defense. Sure, time in the system helps with the nuances, but it's not even as complicated as zone, which people scream about us not playing. Our defense didn't suck this year because we played packline or Archie forgot how to coach defense. Hell, our de...

They manage the Ryan Center and make a profit off basketball. And charge us $14 a beer. They need to cough up some dough. They manage the Ryan Center because URI pays them to do so.

I guess? I mean, he's promising, but he's averaging 1.6 blocks and 10.9 rebounds per 40 minutes. A lot of his stats are similar to the Mitchell brothers, except he's listed at 6'11" and they're 6'10". I would much rather have undersized but highly effective guys at the 4 and 5, since size...

If La Salle loses to Loyola, we’ll be the 11th seed since Davidson lost to SJU.

You can’t get custom printed tshirts in bulk for $2. That’s moronic to even think that’s possible. And saw the shirts today (got one). No sponsor on there, which means athletics paid for them. I just looked up Port & Company tshirts. If you order 1,500 or more, the price is $1.32 a shirt. Can y...

For bulk apparel you can get these tshirts for about $2 a pop. Times 5000 that leaves you at $10k. Plus the fact athletics has contracts in place already with suppliers. Combined with the fact these tshirts typically have sponsor logos on it— $20k is a huge overestimate and peanuts to swallow. Tshi...
