Re: Assistant Coach Opening in Men's Basketball

I want Preston and his son in a package deal. Preston is an excellent recruiter and has so much experience. He’s worked under a lot of elite coaches. I like that he was an alum. My number one choice by far. His son is going to be a stud point guard as well and is currently available as he recently d...

I want Preston and his son more than anybody. Need to get this done. Hire Preston and move on from Carol. Prestons son seem to be an outstanding PG... just what we need to replace Fatss.

100% uri should bring coach Murphy back. I was saying this last year. He’s an outstanding recruiter and would certainly be an upgrade at any coaching level on our team. Now his son who originally wanted to come here is available who is a great PG.... just what we need.

Re: ‘19 LA SG - Gregory Hammond (URI Signed LOI)

I think this is a very bad loss. I think this kid had a lot of potential. 6”7 guard who is very fundamentally sound aren’t that easy to come by. I thought he should have been getting more minutes regardless if he was ready or not. I’d feel better about this if it somehow wasn’t basketball related.

Harris is a major concern for this team. We need him to step up this year and he couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start. We need him because of his size and physicality.
