Yes. If Fuchs develops his three we will be a great perimeter shooting team also.

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond (URI LOI ---> ??? )

And I believe the last 7 games he was shooting in the 50s from three. He is a great interior passer and converts on the break very well.

Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond (URI LOI ---> ??? )

Ramster you are spot on. One more point. Some have penciled him coming off the bench here and that’s a nonstarter. He did not come here to play sixth man.

Re: Interview with George Mason Head Coach Tony Skinn

I didn’t read one word about him from anyone and marketing announced if my memory serves me. We can be in Finland right now looking at a Davidson like 7 footer. I think we should go hard overseas like so many other teams.

I agree. My first call would be to Shane. I think they have some polite controlled response which basically says it ain’t going to happen.

Interview with George Mason Head Coach Tony Skinn

Hey guys,

I will be interviewing Tony Skinn next week and it will be a Rhody-Centric interview.

I would like to know how the NIL and transfer portal is treating him, talk about our two games against GMU, and delve into the schools recruitment of Ben Hammond.

Do you have any questions?

Sorry Ahron Ulis was a star transfer from Iowa and couldn’t play for Nebraska all season because of the gambling scandal. So they didn’t have a point guard last season.

Re: Jamarques Lawrence Podcast Interview with Rival

His last 7 games he shot 66% from 3. He is so damn confident. He just hit some bad luck because of the Iowa betting scandal took out their star point guard and they forced him to play the 1 most of the season. He could play the 3 also when we want to go small.
