The Richmond Times-Dispatch is reporting that the University of Richmond is considering other conferences for its football program. The school is not happy with the present direction of the CAA Football Conference in which the Spiders compete. The league has lost many longtime members in recent yea...
would be great if they had a wrap around with seats behind the end zones for a full bowl. Seats in the South end zone would have been easy, there was plenty of room back there, but putting the video board there complicates things now. I wonder how much and how feasible it would be to move it to the...
Actually, if you scroll two thirds of the way down the following site you can see this view is definitely part of the two options from six years ago. It's the background for the other renderings of what option 2 would look like
Is the rendering in Thorr's tweet today to be the new design for the East Stands? It is similar to the Option2 which was floated a few years ago. If so, I like it. This is just a different view of the rough outlines from 6 years ago. No official design out yet. From November 9th: "Bjorn added ...
Good to know, thanks for the info! I assumed that was the case. No reason to think Archie was going to just sit around and let us be short handed on the staff. Exactly.. My source told me its a solid a hire. Former head coach who took last year off. Hmmm...if someone felt like it they could scour t...
What is the ONE word that would describe not replacing KJ in order to save money? Smalltime. Or as 105 said, typical. Think Big - we don't. Sounds we hired a former head coach who didn't coach this past season based on my sources Is this good news? Hasn't it widely been assumed that Archie sitting ...
Here's another transfer. Redshirt freshman guard. Hardly played so not much to report. https://twitter.com/HeavyLeeT1/status/1782511333474209887 She's from Finland as is 6'5" recruit Albina Syla. Seems like we've moved from France to Finland for recruiting overseas. Look out Estonia, you're next
I would have kept recruiting and not brought Thomas back and gotten a better option at PG. We already had a better option in the program than Thomas in Kortright for PG, but I still would have looked to improve that position. Instead we made it worse
After multiple horrible years and losing our top recruit, if our plan G was landing the leading scorer of the American East, I think that's great. If he wasn't named Sebastian Thomas, I think we'd have a lot more excitement about landing a guard who dropped 30-40 in multiple games. But for some rea...

What numbers? His FG% and 3 PT % are horrendous. Here are the numbers I sorted 2FG%, 3FG% and FT% for all of our past starters and added Lawrence and Thomas. Last year a glaring weaknesses was FT Shooting. Thomas 77.5% and Lawrence 77.1% easily surpass our players 2FG% has Thomas 50% and Lawrence 4...

Why the fuck would I watch Albany basketball games? They went 5-11, second to last, in a bad conference, I've got better shit to do with my time. And I don't care what he did against Vermont in the Future Bankers of America basketball conference playing against guys whose biggest basketball accompl...
Did you actually watch a single game of his all year? If not, watch the Albany Vermont game and explain how he will suck here surrounded by House, Cam, Green, Lawrence and Fuchs? Why the fuck would I watch Albany basketball games? They went 5-11, second to last, in a bad conference, I've got better...
I agree Kortright didn't push the pace but he had 117 assists and averaged 4 rebounds a game. He didn't suck and whether Bassy will be better is up in the air. I did not want Luis to leave, but to be fair I didn’t want Bassy to leave last year either. I do think Bassy is a better fit for uptempo an...
I agree Kortright didn't push the pace but he had 117 assists and averaged 4 rebounds a game. He didn't suck and whether Bassy will be better is up in the air. Kortright had better assist to turnover ratios each of the last two years than Thomas. In fact, for the most part Kortright's gotten better...
Due to his turnovers Thomas is incapable of being a competent floor general. It doesn't matter if he goes up the floor at the speed Archie wants if it's going right back down the other way even faster when the opponent gets a fast break off of his mistakes. It's not just that we know he's unplayabl...
Luther Clay - Purdue Kuran Iverson - Memphis Stanford Robinson - Indiana Neither of those three were BIG contributors. Neither was Irv Chatman. You saw Irv Chatman play? Well, I did. He was a HUGE contributor on the '78 team, a defensive force in the middle and a very good rebounder. Any of the oth...
Yeah it's depth guys that are left. Having 3 core guys who've played together, and a bench guy who has, is a key these days. For some reason I think people are dismissing how much Green being out of basketball/practice and not expecting to play this year affected him and the team. I expect a big ju...
At this point, I am not sure that we will bring in any pieces that will be immediately slotted for a starting position. Right now, Archie knows what he needs in terms of depth, pretty obvious. We need to bring in some players that will give us solid quality minutes when needed, and actually that ca...
Listen, first let me say that I like Bassy. You can go back and look at my posts when he was here when most people were bashing him. I think he can run a team, facilitate and makes nice passes. He's still not a good shooter. He scored a lot of points last season despite shooting 43% from the floor ...

Remember two years ago when our offense sucked? Most of that was because of turnovers, with Thomas being a big offender. His turnovers per 40 minutes actually went up from two years ago even though he played against a dogshit strength of schedule. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/sebasti...
Just too slow to stick with/get by A10 guards on a consistent basis. Yes, he was too slow on defense, but his physicality on the offense end created mismatches and was a big bonus for us. Compare that to Thomas who is even slower on defense and doesn't create any mismatches on offense. We severely ...

2. Pain and guilt
3. Anger and bargaining
4. Depression
5. The upward turn
6. Reconstruction and working through
7. Acceptance and hope
I'm cycling between the 3rd and 4th stages of grief
I thought Luis actually was 1 of the only guys who pretty much performed at or above what you would have expected coming in from QU. But he has limitations and he was going to command minutes. Higher floor lower ceiling type profile. Just too slow to stick with/get by A10 guards on a consistent bas...

Archie is staying away from players with red flags.
I would argue having a proven record of being unable to play at the Atlantic 10 level should be a giant fucking red flag, and yet he brought Thomas back
Also, this is not a knock on Hammond as I was excited to see him play here and develop, but since when did a true freshman PG lead a team to a title of some sorts? And yes, in high school games Hammond was pressuring the ball very well. Doesn’t mean he’d be effectively doing that from day 1 in a gu...
This is spectacular.....spec- freeking - tacular. I want to hear the Bassy hating NIL pimps in full throat, please...trying to convince US to donate so they can afford to waste money on players that THEY have already thoroughly t-rashed! :lol: This is the best thing that's happened this off season ...
Luis and Always have to be leaving. House, Always, Luis, Thomas, Lawerence, Cam is a logjam. You’d expect Luis/Always would be getting minimal minutes now. Lawerence and Thomas didn’t come here to be bench pieces. House isn’t staying to come off the bench. That leaves Cam as the 4th guard? He can’t...
Having Thomas back is living, breathing, pulsating proof that RhodyVault doesn't know shit about our collective. If it was any fucking good we'd have someone a lot better than a guy we know is unplayable at the A10 level
His daughter is a freshman on the team. That’s great. He’s getting paid $1.5 million to be the head coach at the University of Rhode Island and his last tweet involving anything URI was back in February. https://x.com/archie_miller/status/1755316647810789844?s=46 Jesus Christ dude, you really that ...
Is it a sabbatical year for bigs not named Fuchs at Rhody next season ? We need bigs. Miranda is 7'1". Is that big enough? Are you hearing rumblings, 78 ? I’d be good with bringing in another Rhode Islander. Maybe he turns out to be a pleasant surprise playing at home State U with his buddy. E...
I want to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone who said Archie was cooked and was a failure here who I argued with. You were right, I was wrong. I'm sorry.
The Big East was formed... The Big East emerged as an excellent cbb conference but its formation sucked the life out of New England cbb, imho. A big, sucking vacuum. I started following college hoops right before the Big East was formed. I saw URI play games against the likes of St John's, Syracuse...

There's a few things that give me hope: 1. They hired fans that worked on College Football Revamped, so they'll have fan voices not just in the room but actively working on it. 2. It's not just a reskin of Madden. If so it wouldn't be three plus years to bring it to market. 3. Unlike comparing this...

I already said this in the recruiting thread to, but please just anywhere but Providence or another A10 school so I can still root for him... Why would you root for him? Couldn’t be less relevant. That’s like cheering for Anthony Harris at his NAIA school. I can see both viewpoints. Maybe not so mu...
