Many highlights at the Women's game tonight but one of the best was having John Vanner doing the PA.

And the beat goes on...

Very accurate assesment of their season, but having said that, they could have mailed in their last game and didn't. For that they deserve much credit. If the present staff remains in place, I hope there is some better talent coming in on both sides of the ball that can contribute immediately. Here'...

Cameron_Dollar

I would say you are on target with that line up. But playing time will certainly depend on match-ups.

Cameron_Dollar

Get right game, tonight. At your request, I came over to post my soccer comment. I followed and supported this team for many years and was a big fan of the Gareth both as a coach and a player. I fell as though there has been a consistent drop off in intensity and talent over the last few years. Eve...

While you're checking out these two teams, take a look at Harvard's pre-season schedule. If nothing else they will come into our game extremely prepared.

Cameron_Dollar

There are some on this board that can post most anything and never get challenged. There are others that are overly scrutinized because they don't drink every ounce of the Kool Aid. I definitely fall into the second group. The donation list was there for all to see and comment. Apparently, the prefe...

Obviously, I struck a nerve. Truth is, the program has gone from elite A10 status to bottom of the pack. The easiest way to lose interest and financial support for a program is not winning. And for those who really understand and appreciate the game, there are some brutal losses. That being said, I ...

Cameron_Dollar

It is sad how our once proud soccer team has fallen off map. I believe that is a case of a coach getting too comfortable.

Cameron_Dollar

If we had played UMASS in the A10 Championship game and it was closely contested, both teams would probably have gone. We both did shoot ourselves in the foot by losing late season games allowing St. Louis to emerge. Also, much of this has to do with Big5 conference tournaments. The less upsets that...

Cameron_Dollar

Jersey, It's not wishful thinking. It's based on the fact that we have been there at the end the last two seasons while others have come and gone. We are deep, capable of creating mismatches and can play big or play small. This is it. Anything less then an A10 championship and a bid will be a disapp...

Cameron_Dollar

Good schedule. Pre season much stronger than last year. We need to beat St. John's or NC State, win the rest of the non conference games and we will go into conference schedule ranked. We are also capable of running the table against A10 competition. Tammi has this program on very solid footing. Tei...

Cameron_Dollar

You are not the only one who thinks he is agreat guy. His contritributions to our university and the athletic department from his days on Jack Kraft's staff, to his time in the legislature and his stellar work as an Associate AD are too numerous to list. Like him, you are a first class individual wh...

Cameron_Dollar

I'd like to strike out like UCONN strikes out. That school treats athletics in a first class manner and a top priority as well as having both a law school and medical school. If it takes them another 10 years, they will figure out a way to get their football program up to standards. The biggest obst...

Cameron_Dollar

I don't think Hurley is ducking us. What would be great would be a double header at Mohican Sun featuring both men and women playing each other. Even if we took it on the chin, it would be a great atmosphere and a big step for both of our programs. My guess is Archie would be opposed to it. Think bi...

Cameron_Dollar

First time I've seen his podcast, but certainly a welcome addition. Looking forward to his participation during the season.

Cameron_Dollar

Nice job Mo. Come around to the women's program more often. Plenty of room on the bandwagon.

Cameron_Dollar

She is a sweet and articulate young lady. When she puts on a uniform and steps on the floor she is downright nasty. What puts her over the top is that she knows her roll, accepts it and excels at it. She will be a major piece of the puzzle going forward.

Cameron_Dollar

You can say that about any player that you recruit. The staff was very high on Anete Adler and based on her performance in Europe, they had every reason to be. After spending an entire season here they felt it wasn't going to happen. So, player and team move on and you seek to find her replacement. ...

Cameron_Dollar

It's worth noting that these potential improvements are all one time expenditures and therefore eligible for COVID money which is still substantial.

Cameron_Dollar

Dapper Dan should give them 50k. They contributed to his early success that began his journey to the promised land. Jim Boheim has given a very generous donation and has rallied local businesses and supporters in the Syracuse fan base each year for Boheim's Army, led by Eric Devindorf. I know this f...

Cameron_Dollar

Our coach is taking full advantage of her recent success. Guaranteed she will parlay her affiliation with USA Basketball into attracting higher profile players into the program. She knows how to work it.

Cameron_Dollar

Honestly I'm not sure that's really a hot take. You have to take care of those three programs first. I just don't see where what's in the budget takes care of Meade. And if not now, when does Meade get fixed? How long does it have left? It's so insulting that the state only kicked in $18 million on...

Cameron_Dollar

Cost of doing business in Rhode Island. Got to take care of laborers union. Rhode Island is not a right to work state. Therefore, costs will always be higher because of prevailing wage. Look for improvements to happen for the football field and related projects. Don't look for increased funding for ...

Pitino wanted to come here but the majority of this board wanted David Cox and his 6 star recruiting class. How did that work out Kyle and the others that wanted to ban me from the boar...

Cameron_Dollar

Both Dolly and Emmi transferered into excelent programs. Not only does it speak volumes about them but the program as a whole. I'm sure we'll also see Annette end up in a solid landing spot. Wishing them all well; and with ESPN plus we can follow them along the way.

Cameron_Dollar

Scorpio, It's ok to be happy for Dolly without throwing shade on our coaching staff and program. The coach at FGCU has been there 21 years. His tallest player is 6' tall. They are one of the leading 3 point shooting schools in the country. He's taking a flyer on Dolly hoping that his offense suits h...

Cameron_Dollar

She came here highly touted. From all indications, she was a great person and student. It didn't work out for reasons we will never know. Rather than let it be a hinderance to the player or the team, both parties agreed to move on. You hit on some and you miss on some. To repeat what I said in a pre...

Cameron_Dollar

The door to the portal swings both ways. This is a great addition to what is already a very talented team. Having Teisha and Dee Dee on board enables the staff to bring the three talented newcomers along at slower pace. The program is definitely heading in the right direction.

Cameron_Dollar

Notre Dame has eight guards on their roster and needed a big desperately. Anna DeWolfe from Fordham is 5'8" and ND couldn't pass her up. They signed her out of the portal. You can't go wrong when you bring in quality players.

Cameron_Dollar

Remember the portal door swings both ways. If someone is leaving, expect a suitable replacement to come in.

Cameron_Dollar

To come on to this board and diparage Tammi or Dolly serves no purpose. Dolly was her first recruit. I don't believe the staff was happy with her at times nor was she happy with the staff. That is why the portal is there. These things happen every day in college sports. Wish her well and move on. Sh...

Cameron_Dollar

Just a heads up. Anna Dewolfe, a three year All A10 guard from Fordham has entered the Transfer Portal as a Grad Transfer. Have heard that she has already been approached by Illinois, Wisconsin and Villanova. The pride of Cumberland! (Maine) 18.4 ppg. Yeah, she's good. If Tammi lands her she deserv...

Introductory press conferences and related events are always a bit weird and not that exciting after the initial news drop, but this looks awkward af https://twitter.com/john_fanta/status/1638604117391310850?s=61 I don’t know if those specific rumors are true or not, but I am taking such satisfacti...

Cameron_Dollar

Hopefully, they don't use the wifi from the Ryan Center.

Cameron_Dollar

Are they keeping the raquetball courts? Good for cardio.

Cameron_Dollar

Last chance to to see the team in person. Due to Ryan Center commitments, team must finish on the road. Let's get a big crowd tonight.

Cameron_Dollar

Is this to catch-up with competition or does this give URI an advantage over competition? To me it looks like a renovated old West Gym for the exclusive use of the basketball teams. I'm not impressed with what I'm seeing so far. R72 If they built a brand new facility instead: "I can't believe ...

Cameron_Dollar

Or Dave Gavitt?

Cameron_Dollar

It's been stated over and over and has never been more true. It is a business. With the creation of the transfer portal and the NIL, good programs don't stress over losing players and good players care more about their NIL deals than losing their coach. Boheim was correct when he stated that it was ...

Cameron_Dollar

Just a hunch. Home game vs BU. If so, they will not be an easy out. They were down 22 to Holy Cross only to come back within 2 and fall short. First round is usually with visiting teams travelling short distances.

Cameron_Dollar

My predictions of who will leave 1. Samb 2. Alex 3. Ish Hope i'm wrong. Stevey - do you have any Intel or is it just a guess? If there is available NIL money, I would think it should be used to keep Leggett. There will certainly be other programs that would be willing to have their booster group an...

I take that as an Italian slur. You are cancelled. LOL.

Having only one player on the first team and one on the third team, speaks volumes about the coaching and the depth of this team. UMASS and Fordham were loaded with upper classmen and returned all of their key players. Our staff on the other hand continually shuffled players in and out, hoping to fi...

Cameron_Dollar

Bottom Line. We will probably play UMASS two more times. If we win Thursday night, we need to run the regular season table and make it to the conference finals. We can lose that game. The other scenario is we lose Thursday and beat them for the conference championship and we're in. The third option,...

Cameron_Dollar

Good opportunity to play play on national tv today. We were probably on in sports' bars everywhere. They just keep finding new ways to get it done. The UMASS game this week is so important on a number of levels. Hopefully, we continue to take care of business. Every game is a tournament game going f...

Cameron_Dollar

Truly amazing work Rhowdy.

Cameron_Dollar

Low NET not withstanding, if we take care of business, it will be an excellent body of work and puts us in the mix for an at large berth.

Cameron_Dollar

If we beat UMASS again and run the regular season table, we only need to make it to the conference tourney finals and we are in. Dayton got an at large bid with one conference loss and losing in the semi finals last year. We did have a weak non conference schedule. Buffalo would have been a good gam...

Cameron_Dollar

Great atmosphere at the women's game tonight and much of it due to the outstanding job done by John Vanner. He has grown out of his role as Number 1 cheerleader and has transitioned into a first class PA Announcer. He adds so much to the on the court action.
