Any questions?

Thx Ramster. You are a monster finding great articles. I read them all. Tony has been in Florida recruiting and I was supposed to get together with him in Miami. So it has stalled. But when he comes back to Miami this weekend I might be able to set something up. It could be a few weeks. The recruiti...

Lawrence will never play the point. Two or Three. He wouldn’t come here if that was what was needed from him and one of the reasons he improved was because he moved off the ball the last 14 games.

sbrand

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

sbrand

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.

sbrand

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.

sbrand

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.

sbrand

My only strategy is to never publicly criticize him.

sbrand

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. I once was at a practice before the Davidson game per a David Cox invite and asked him if I could meet Dan. Dave said he is busy with his extensive pregame ritua...

sbrand

Thx Ramster. I am on standby for tomorrow’s interview. I am thinking he may have a recruit visiting.

sbrand

Thanks Stevey. I once interviewed Coach L Larranaga so that got my foot in the door.

sbrand

That’s what I say. Greatest basketball minds of all message boards. And it’s hilarious at times.

sbrand

Damn these are great questions.

sbrand

Thx as always Reef.

sbrand

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?

sbrand

He has the speed and attitude not the size. On his highlight reel watch him get skinny on a screen and intercept a pass for an easy 2.

sbrand

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.

sbrand

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.

sbrand

I think there is a belief JLAW is going to be the guy we build the team around. But this is coming from the Rivals beat writer.

sbrand

Yes. There is a huge difference playing in the Big 10 versus A10 and he had some great games against teams like Illinois especially the last 9 games of the season when he didn’t have to run the offense.

sbrand

Yes. I understand he could be the fastest on our team.

sbrand

Here it is

I think you will see why his stats weren’t better due to an unforeseen circumstance.

sbrand

Definitely not Arkansas or Georgetown. I spoke with his coach yesterday. But that’s all I got. He’s a nice guy.

sbrand

Hey guys,

I am going to interview Steve Marik the Nebraska beat writer from Rivals on incoming transfer Jamarques Lawrence. Do you guys have any questions for him.

Thanks as always

sbrand

I talk to Mike from time to time and I will ask him. He worships the ground that Dan walks on. But that’s nothing new.

sbrand

I remember he put faith in one small time player on Twitter who disappeared into the sunset. I need to go back in my archives. I am sure someone here remembers the guy spreading the fake news.

sbrand

Oh he blasted RV through email. He wanted me to clean up the retweet and put the rumor to bed. It was an entertaining convo to say the least.

sbrand

I know right. He would have tried to get Tre to Bryant. I didn’t believe him until I saw an email that made the case indisputable.

sbrand

These days a one year transfer is tantamount to a budding freshman.

sbrand

I look at this as a NIL opportunity

sbrand

Btw I confirmed that Tre was never considering URI after I retweeted Vault’s tweet that he was definitely coming to URI and Tre’s step dad called me and blasted me that it would never happen.

sbrand

Not expecting them to announce KJ going to Georgetown until tomorrow at the earliest.

sbrand

I was blocked too. Let’s start a club.

sbrand

Ramster. This information is great!! I have noticed he has improved shooting 3s. He is ready to play in a rotation again. One of the most versatile players in the NBA. I posted this pod on Toronto’s Reddit and it received 20K views and 27 comments. All were fantastic. They get it.

sbrand

All good ones. What a great team we had with him. He was a complete basketball player. Shoot, rebound, block shots, great passer.

sbrand

Great question. He has highlight reel on Instagram from that game.

sbrand

Thanks Jdrums. Jeff’s dad gave me Jeff’s phone number so after the season hopefully I can’t get a one on one with him. I appreciate your like.

sbrand

Any questions?

sbrand

Thx Spook

sbrand

Check it out

sbrand

Spot on. Dug is his mentor. It will come down to playing time and NIL dollars. My guest on my podcast talks about Dug.

sbrand

Just read this. Thx. It means a lot to me and Keaney Blue is so powerful in Search Engine Results btw. Whoever built this has a goldmine.

sbrand

I admit I fell for it and have never seen that account. I thought that was the reason there hasn’t been a decision on KJ with Georgetown.

sbrand

I think all the heavy lifting has to come from our high paying donors. For instance UMASS had a grass routes campaign to reach $12,000 and when they did a donor matched 25K. We should be following the UMASS collective model. I talk to the guy that runs it and should have him on as my next podcast gu...

sbrand

It will give you insight of what he is up against as well as how well he is thought of throughout the NBA circles.

sbrand

Thanks for posting this. Maybe I will start participating in some of the discussions. I have a podcast about Jeff Dowtin becoming a 76er and I interviewed a Philly sports columnist going up on Thursday so I will post it.

sbrand

Guys. This is the best place for Rhody News. I just don’t add my comments because I feel they go unanswered for some reason. But I am the guy that joined when I became friends with Sponge. And I am your biggest promoter. I say the greatest basketball minds and the most knowledgeable Rhody fans are o...

sbrand

Hey guys, One thing I take pride in is owning my mistakes i.e. the John Banner flub. And yes, I unknowingly misrepresented my guest who is not affiliated with the A10. That was lazy on my part. Should have researched more thoroughly before putting it out here. And yes the podcast didn’t meet my stan...

sbrand

Btw. I double posts so if someone can delete the one below that would be great. Sorry.

sbrand

I don’t know if I want to go that specific. The truth is the A10 has been favoring other schools since its incarnation.
