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

This is just stupid.

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

"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.

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...

Yuk indeed

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...

If FriarTown defines a role and ponies up the dough I expect that’s a likely landing spot for Thomas.

Pretty weird this announcing crew clearly rooting for NC State

Duke. Jimmy’s crazy game at Cameron Indoor, Mohegan tourney, the ass whooping we had against them second round. Even further back, Duke eliminated URI in close games in both 1978 and 1988 that were each decided by just one point. 0-3 versus them all time in the NCAA. Our 30-point blowout loss again...

hrstrat57

The uConn / URI wars were a big part of my sports world as a kid. Hated those guys.

I really like Dan obviously but rooting for that laundry is tough.

Good stuff.

hrstrat57

If Miller is the Miller we thought we hired retaining Hammond should be a slam dunk.

Hammond had to have been clear Johnson would be looking to get back to a higher D1 position.

If URI doesn’t retain this player it will be a warning sign.

hrstrat57

Yeah ummmm you’re forgetting somebody…

Now we’re picking on Reef maybe the nicest guy on the forums?

Jeez c’mon now!

Perhaps Duquesne will be the ticket punched saving us having to watch Friar Frank gloat on NBC10…

Watching Duquesne destroy URI can’t say I’m shocked. Good talent, well coached. Good luck to them in the dance.

It’s also a extreme missed opportunity for Rhode Island Rams basketball. We should have been in the mix. Rebound the ball, make foul shots and play a defense that contains the one or two best players on the other team. Not rocket surgery… Gosh golly gee...you should replace Archie with a breakdown ...

Thing is I’m not 100% in on saying we had “bad players” Lack of chemistry sure. “Bad” is oversimplifying methinks. IMO we had multiple legit D1 players.

The results should have been much better.

Attended the (public?) opening of Tower Hill Brewing tonite. It was fun, met some friends and Ivan the brewer - good dude. I had the She'll Have That, an NE IPA.

At this point maybe Miranda just want to be close to home. I expect Providence, Bryant and Rhode Island will all kick the tires at least. If he’s after big name image and likeness dollars we should be out. If he just wants to be close to home it’s worth pursuing IMO. Agree the whole begging for buck...

Foumena to UVM is a move I’d like, could see him in Smithfield. Hour and a half from home for him.

I voted D.

Players melting down, disobeying publicly and total chaos is how you get a F from me.

I saw some demoralized players at times and some lack of effort but no total chaos.

Duh was the benchmark for F in my grade book.

The packline point is simple. Top coaching has figured it out. Can there be any question Bennett defense this season was superior to URI’s? Crushed - not just crushed obliterated. Just like Rhody was by Dayton and ST Bonaventure. I fear if we don’t move on from the packline or at least mix it up we ...
