Re: A10 Outlook for 24-25

I have zero expectations for next season, not for top, middle or bottom of conference. My trips in and out of Rhody Rehab has made me realize that I will continue to support Rhody hoops, via season tickets, following the revolving door of players, and make some small payment to the Collective.

Re: 2024 Coaching Carousel

I have a sneaking suspicion that our bigger boosters realize just how important this offseason is to the future of this coach and program, and are or will step up to ensure Archie can bring in the talent he needs to get good again. Consider the alternative. It's not pretty. Two games vs.Vermont, Br...

Why is the focus just on high school players and college kids in the portal? Do any coaches go to men's leagues and see who is playing?

No. It definitely had zero affect that the team we recruited had played zero minutes together, that our intended starters played maybe 1/3 of a season together due to eligibility/injuries, or that 86% of our roster had never played at the A10 or D1 level before. When does that ever matter? It's a t...
