Just got email thanking me for renewing our season tickets. Sent back response saying no I haven't yet. Told them because this program appears to be in total disarray, I am waiting until last minute. Then I notice an email in my spam from them saying sorry the original email was sent in error to al...

Late jump for Kortright. I’m thinking he’s already got a destination locked down?

Good hustle guy based on viewing from my seat wasn’t a problem. Behind the scenes who knows. Played hurt, hustled and was first guy to dive for a loose ball.

Sorry to see him go.

hrstrat57

Bassy left because he didn't think he'd see the court. No one questioned that logic. Now he's returning and could be a starter. I think that's an indictment of the staff's recruiting. They failed to land a better PG than an undersized local player! I wish him all the luck but the recruiting of Arch...

hrstrat57

Yeah way to early to toss in the towel…we decided to pay big (for us)dough on a big name coach. Fail so far but this crazy landscape offers opportunity. Year 3 needs to play out.

I’m other words I’m very unhappy but it’s still early right?

hrstrat57

Miranda was a solid 4 star. Rivals 30th or so definite consensus top 60 2022. Might not be as big of a project as you think.

hrstrat57

Gimme Miranda and the uConn Greek sniper and let’s go!

hrstrat57

Serious question. Are minimum credit load, minimum GPA, graduation rates etc, still a thing any more? It must be fun being in the admissions offices across the land? Remember how important APR was? How can that be applied now with so much movement which undoubtedly will lead to lower graduation rat...

Jdrums#3 =king of the Keaney Blue high road. More of that around here please.

We’re all on the same team.

hrstrat57

It’s early and there’s lotsa fish out there…

What’s the latest on Miranda? Would he even qualify academically at this point? (Does that matter anymore?)

I’ll take a 5 star project with a close pal on the team all day. Would also get URI hoops on the radar big time no?

hrstrat57

Go watch the V Tech /uVA game (YouTube)and look at the shot chart….

PackLine is no longer the secret sauce.

Mmmm that’s good Bass.

BB78 good list. If he doesn’t go to Georgetown I’d suggest the Kenny bit be removed from the list.

(Despite our KeaneyBlue “insider” pundit/ expert storyline)

hrstrat57

Yeah URI (tried to?) play Packline. The larger point is UVA which won a national championship playing Packline got smoked multiple times this past season. Obliterated. Elite D1 coaching has figured out how to destroy it. It will also be a interesting study to watch what Bennett does. Does Miller hav...

Vault took down the tweet

hrstrat57

But
Where’s Georgetown, the de facto per KB pundits reason for bailing?

hrstrat57

https://x.com/247hshoops/status/1781343537126129880?s=46 Honestly that is an underwhelming list. Come back to Rhody Ben! This list reflects badly on our program no? We should be ahead of a lot of these clubs in the pecking order. Is it possible Miller cut bait for some reason on Hammond? It’s all s...

hrstrat57

Here’s hoping that after watching UVa get destroyed and having the Packline fail at URI that Miller will think it’s time to adapt.

hrstrat57

Bring up Mayer now!

Stop being stupid.

hrstrat57

It’s looking pretty likely that Loyola Chicago is gonna make a lot of us eat crow. It’s early of course but might want to start planning a KB birdie barbecue…

hrstrat57

Not a Ram but Ray is probably the greatest SK Rebel. Big loss.

hrstrat57

Don’t think it was puking it was LOL’g Of course players read KB. If any of us saw our name in a thread we’d all read it. Some of the stuff posted in team forums is LOL worthy. I’m not the least bit offended by Luis post. Just reinforces my opinion that most players read KB. https://x.com/luiskortri...

…and maybe we need to cut this dude loose and dip deeper into portalpalooza.

D1 college basketball has zero to do with college. I guess it’s marketing-not really sure what it is. What I do know is the message sent to young “student” athletes is twisted. Get all you can for yourself and honor no commitments. What a fantastic education. I’ll keep buying season tix because it’s...

https://www.instagram.com/p/C51u3KePKE3/?igsh=MTQxd3JrdWRzbjdzOA== I love this addition, not just because I am a Husker guy. I have seen him play lots and love his game. Good size at PG, can stretch it, not selfish, and can play D. Thanks for the intel. Looking forward to seeing some game tape!

hrstrat57

Good post Blueman.

hrstrat57

Silk Owens would be a nice choice but could he also fall into the Wheeler, Murphy fantasy? Those two are next in line to interview if Miller fails. You all really think Miller will put his replacement on the bench next to him?

Wishful thinking.

hrstrat57

Either bring up some stud prospects (Anthony, Mayer, Teel etc) or trade em and get some big league players.

This is just stupid.

hrstrat57

We have walkons in the portal. What's next, Ramettes? Life’s a portal. :D I've decided, after much consideration, I'm entering the Fan Portal. Any College team can reach out to me and provide NIL offers. Free tickets, free beer and concessions would put them at the top of my fan list. Willing to ma...

They’re going to install acoustic tiles on the walls. It’s wicked loud agree reminds me of Ryan Center PA

Can’t roll out a 4A team and expect to beat elite clubs. Won’t work. Expect lots of empty seats in America’s Favorite Ballpark this summer if this is the plan for 2024.

If true Dan could be convinced to take the dough out of there.

No chance he passes up a legit chance for a 3 peat and moves now. I would agree with zero chance but I will not promise to eat my computer.

Looks like Zeke is headed back to Bradley

hrstrat57

"velo" was what he lived on last year, fortunately the volume of that has come down. His game feel kinda reminds me of Scal doing the Celtics. He may not be the best (Bill Burr was the best color guy ever, even if it was only one game), but give me Youk over Johnny Gomes any day. Gomes an...

How do we get Youk to stop saying “right there”? Wicked annoying borderline unwatchable. "velo" was what he lived on last year, fortunately the volume of that has come down. His game feel kinda reminds me of Scal doing the Celtics. He may not be the best (Bill Burr was the best color guy ...

I don’t think they’re talking about KJ. Otherwise why would they wait to announce it? It’s probably a coach of a FF team. That said, again, Hammond and his coaches have talked about Archie Miller as a main reason for coming to URI. Also, with how overbearing and involved Georgetown boosters are - d...

If you’ve got dough DC is excellent, especially around Georgetown.

This stealth mode plus the footdragging about KJ is just more frustration surrounding this program.

Same for the collective announcement, whatever it is.

Agree 100% that’s the one I’m watching closely.

Love the 4 flags more

I have stayed clear of this topic because I am not really sure how I feel about it. I will tell you this, I am not a fan at all of what the NIL has become. It has nothing to with NIL, it is now a pay for play system. Kids were screwed before when their images were being used without compensation. S...

hrstrat57

Yuk indeed

hrstrat57

Wheeler wouldn’t get $2m as URI HC. He’d probably be lucky to get $750k as a first time head coach here.

But I’m getting ahead of myself…

hrstrat57

Again,

The only way you get Wheeler here is as HC. I mean why would he?

I wish it was possible but Miller isn’t going to turn up the temperature on his own potential hot seat.

Stop with the Wheeler fantasy. PM fantasy too.

( if I’m wrong plz bring Lilly with you Tyson

)

hrstrat57

Yeah I didn’t dig Bassy’s game either but he’s local, had some good moments and was eager to improve. I didn’t see him hurting us going forward coming off the bench but Miller wanted to move on. BlueMan continued obsession with bashing him is pretty weird no doubt. I’m very interested in following t...
