I saw him play several times at the Pinnacle Bank Arena and was really impressed with his speed and basketball IQ. Having him and Bassy in the backcourt, we can really play up-tempo. Little did you know you were watching a future Rhody Ram! I know, right. All the Husker fans including my kids hated...

Looks like another day without another big added to Fuchs. The idea of Archie stalling - like NYG alluded to a few hours ago - seems more likely every day that we receive no news on a big. Although it could be NIL negotiations stalling, waiting on someone to enter the portal, etc. What happened wit...

I thought the point of the Bassy “hire” was speed? If he does not pan out to be faster then Luis, Archie will need PT doing his 1/2 windmill motion. Note, Rhody Rehab does not provide PT. surely, you must have a referral service that you can refer someone to? you know, for a referral? I kinda subsc...

Me thinks the sooner the super conference gets going the better it will be for URI. I think it will then provide a more clear understanding of the new environment we would be within. Including conference realignment etc. this assumes URI would not be in the super conference.

Typical.

Someone suggested we scout the men’s league, prison rec yards, maybe we should scout the border for bigs?

section(105)

Are we really going to be uptempo? Remember, with Fuchs and Green we are not at all fast! This is a good point. Even if Archie wants to go faster and thinks he got a point guard that can successfully go faster it doesn't necessarily mean the rest of his current roster can play the way he wants. Exp...

For me, even getting close to knocking on NCAA door, we must get big guy, and everyone make that wished for jump from last season.

https://jobs.uri.edu/postings/search The job is not posted. Why? Marc and Thorr reached out to me first to see if I was interested.

Ok - I know this has been asked before, but now with the "new" Rhode to Excellence being run by Stone, I'm donating what I can afford to both the Athletic Dept's director's fund and the NIL. I started my donation to the NIL about 6 weeks ago and initially am doing half of what I am donati...

section(105)

Archie is staying away from players with red flags. I feel like he initially tried to go big, get the splashy name- poaching Freeman from GW, getting a former 4 star in Harris, even Kenny Johnson probably fits here. Now, just get the guys who can play, who fit, and who you can develop. I am very OK...

I just want to beat Brown, win 9 A-10 games, and not get beat in the Tuesday afternoon PIG. We need to be better than the last two years. So, “not sucking” would be what, getting the single bye?

section(105)

First I would like to say that I have always been a Bassey supporter, but I've been having some thoughts about how this may have transpired. Do we think that Archie gave him the door last year, but now realizes he either made a mistake, the kid made major strides, or his decision was influenced by ...

section(105)

The defense has to improve in bigly to compete at that near top of the conference.

section(105)

So, if we suck again this year, does Thorr start talking with Archie about an extension on the hope that we will eventually get to where we want to be? Tough decisions will have to be made. I think if we suck again(whatever record that is?)the conversation with Archie should be different? Extension...

What is, "we don't do that here "? Correct. Same category? For $1,000; what else does Archie say often in pressers? (Hint, lots to pick thru) What is, "credit to those other guys, they played hard"? or, What is, "we just seem to fall apart when things don't go well"? O...

Sorta related, in NY Post, Phil Mushnik had a note on the trend for 8th grade hoops kids to use social media to post their decision on high school choice. And some service the rates 6th graders.

For those that are 1/2 empty, I get it. With the Bassy 2.0, this probably where the program is at this point. Meh at best.

Gasps were heard down the hall in many in-patient rooms in Rhody Rehab when the Bassy news broke.

section(105)

I guess it didn’t costs us much to send him down to down to single A ball for more seasoning. I guess Ways to a goner, I guess Bassey back is a poster for the strange times we are in. Hope he makes his first shot as a 3 ball.

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 ha...

As quiet as things have been here, things are even quieter on the women's side. Zero info about anyone coming in and zero info about our players in the portal. Could this have anything to do with sorting out donations to Rhody Excellence and what team gets what? I think that is a factor, yes. At so...

Overly simplistic stupid, unrealistic, will neva happen etc. solutions. 1) keep the ncaa out of it. 2). Conferences set salary caps on basketball teams, both for men’s and women’s. These would be within reach of all conference teams. Scaled up to the major conferences, scaled lower for other confere...

Never mind contributing to NIL. The question looming is do I want to fork out season ticket money again for a program that appears to be in complete disarray. With payment due in a few weeks, is the product worth driving an hour each way anymore. Who's on the team? Who's our lead recruiter? Has our...

There’s a lot available who may be looking to get back into the game, would be a good move. Me thinks the former HC at best only works where you have a name ro...
