Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
I agree Kortright didn't push the pace but he had 117 assists and averaged 4 rebounds a game. He didn't suck and whether Bassy will be better is up in the air. I did not want Luis to leave, but to be fair I didn’t want Bassy to leave last year either. I do think Bassy is a better fit for uptempo an...

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond (URI LOI ---> ??? )
Listen, first let me say that I like Bassy. You can go back and look at my posts when he was here when most people were bashing him. I think he can run a team, facilitate and makes nice passes. He's still not a good shooter. He scored a lot of points last season despite shooting 43% from the floor ...

Re: ‘22 RI PG Sebastian Thomas (URI ---> Albany ---> URI)
It is hard not to like Bassy’s attitude, desire to play for us -his hustle, his improvement, his ability to run through a wall for his team and the intangibles that he brings to the team. That being said, my question is where does he stand compared to the other A10 guards that we compete against. He...

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
Luis and Always have to be leaving. House, Always, Luis, Thomas, Lawerence, Cam is a logjam. You’d expect Luis/Always would be getting minimal minutes now. Lawerence and Thomas didn’t come here to be bench pieces. House isn’t staying to come off the bench. That leaves Cam as the 4th guard? He can’t...

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond (URI LOI ---> ??? )
Does the LOI serve any purpose anymore? What’s the point? It is a one way deal. The player can stay but still negotiate for a better deal elsewhere. From a practical standpoint, the school has to guarantee the scholarship and a spot on the roster. Doesn’t that make it a good deal for the player and...
