I read once that UMass has the same issue. They claim a major reason is that most kids go because it’s a good deal, not that they really wanted to go. Most wanted to go to BC or BU or Northeastern, Villanova etc only to see the price tag…I live in MA and couldn’t get my kids to even visit UMass, ne...

Imo zero chance he comes back.

There are several programs in higher conferences true, but none of them traditional needle movers in my opinion.

RIFan, over the years, I have often wondered why the university can’t build more pride. I always thought that native Rhode Islanders tended to be negative toward the state and that that attitude spilled over to the University by extension. However, I am sure it is a combination of many things. I've...

Football, football, football. I am really, really - started a few yrs ago - to dislike major college football, it’s major conferences, major schools and what it all represents. The north (Big 10) and the south (SEC) playing out the Civil War on the football field like it’s some sacred religion. I a...

And I already said there, anywhere but Pvd or another A10 school so I can ignore him and his future like I would any other decommit.

steviep123

I'll be pissed if he ends up at Pvd, or an A10 school. Anywhere else and I'll completely forget about him unless someone else posts about him on this board.

steviep123

The A10 has always been a guard heavy league. I like Luis and him and Lawrence playing together will be great I think. I think Luis is more of a 2 or combo and not a true point guard. Of course, I'm a keyboard warrior, so what do it know.

Really? Because of a kid who never enrolled, took a class, put on uniform, etc. at URI? Get over it. I think it's BS if another team takes our asst and one of his recruits with him. No I will not get over it. I would say that is quite literally the #1 reason why assistant coaches get hired. Many as...

Here's the question - are we still paying KJ if his contract ends in June? Does GT reimburse? Is there any sort of breach of contract rules that is simply part of the business of going to another job? I'm not saying we should sue or anything, just whenever all these assistants leave for other positi...

I'm still so bummed this morning - had the great news of Lawrence signing followed by Hammond decommitting under an hour later. Talk about a roller coaster. This is the new normal and I'm really starting to hate college hoops.

I've been thinking lately If we had gotten our shit together this year and had more success, we probably don't return the core players we return. They were just inconsistent enough we can add solid pieces to compliment them and have a decent team next year. UMass had a decent year and they lost som...

steviep123

So why are we paying him to recruit for another school? Will GT reimburse?

Any hard blow to the BE will have a downstream affect of a hard blow to the A10 - it has happened nearly every single time. That may not so much be the case. The A-10 was already no longer getting many games with power conferences teams outside of MTE games. The Big East was still getting games fro...

Don't get me wrong, I love Barkey and Ernie Johnson, but they are more NBA guys. I'd rather have Seth Davis, Rothstein, Kellogg, etc.

In think (in years) the past, the semis were thrus and the championship on Sat, but that was like 40 years ago. I do agree that the time is way too late.

Do they still alternate the FF/Champ between CBS and TBS? Or is it all just TBS/TNT/Tru now for the final weekend?

Why would Cal talk about his next job in his farewell address to Kentucky fans? Speculation about Dan to Kentucky is dumb and it’s always been dumb to anyone that gets the guy and what makes him tick. 0.0% chance. I honestly don’t see him coaching any college program other than Connecticut unless a...

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. The question I have is why would his father call you instead of (or in addition to?) Rhody Vault? You simpl...

To be fair, the "antics" were only on display after a couple of aggregious calls.

There have been rumors about Brad Stevens for years - it's always been squashed because the thought is he has no interest in the recruiting etc of the college game. Not sure how true that is, but I would think he'd be back to the college game already if he was going to.

steviep123

While you never really know what motivates a coach to move on, and I'm certain Kentucky reaches out, I don't see what would motivate DH from leaving UConn. I just can't see it.

Also, I watched the 2nd half of SC/Iowa women's yesterday. What a fun and entertaining game!

I actually picked Purdue over UConn in my bracket, really for only these 2 reasons. 1. the last time a 1 seed lost in the first round, they won it all the following year. 2. Everyone was picking UConn, so picking someone else would be an advantage. That said, I'm still rooting for UConn. I'm also a ...

A good friend of mine lives near Worcester and every summer is trying to get me to go to both WooSox games as well as the Worcester Bravehearts (who play at Holy Cross). I always go to the latter, but will refuse the WooSox. There may come a day when I go to a WooSox game, but it is not this day.

While Mack may be an asshole (and I also recall him in 2014 - the first year of the new big east railing against the A10 for bids. I was like, dude you were in the league until this year - take it down a notch and don't be disrespectful), I still would have been happy if AM was not our guy (note, I ...
