Sorry, I like Gil as a person, and I'm sure he's a terrific teammate. However, he's not holding down his position and size is becoming a real problem due to that. He's under 9 ppg after last night, and only 6 rebounds a game, with 56% at the line. Gil needs to pick it up, or his final season will b...

Miramfan

Biggie probably isn't the longterm answer at PG, on that I think most of us can agree. If he is our best option at PG in late February or March, either he is much better than he showed last year or our ceiling is limited for this season. But he is probably our best option in November for a variety ...

Nice!

was it a home and home?

We did not beat SMU, we spanked them.

Not a tire iron. Iron sharpens iron meaning that good players will make each other better that's all.

Miramfan

I think E C will be even better this year. I wonder if Rooke knows that iron sharpens iron.

GO RHODY!!!

Me too. I can see us beating PC now and ramming the door down to the dance. Oh and we will make a lot of noise at the Old Spice guaranteed.

I think so too.

We'll they had a kid decommit and another commit all in less than 24 hours. I guess that's why he said timing is everything. I highly doubt an alum would throw anything in our face. Obvious the tweet was for the BC fans.

Miramfan

Archive that Preston Murphy tweet if you still considered him a "friend" of #URI basketball. The reality is there are no "friends" in the dog-eat-dog world of CBB recruiting. People are either on your team or they're not. No gray zones. #rise #URI It is a dog-eat-dog world, but ...

Jordan seems to be really focused and mentally ready. We have three jumping jacks in Hare, Hassan and Watson. I can't wait for the "BLOCK" Party.

Miramfan

The big east without that huge tv deal is nothing.

Miramfan

Why do we have to wait soooo long?

Miramfan

Looks like a good hire by Dan. I am glad that we did not go after Boswell. There were coaches talking at St. Ray's in Pawtucket that he and Leo Papile of BABC got into a fight during the last AAU Tournament.

Miramfan

After watching Gustys play two games, I really was not impressed. I know what the commentators were saying but my eyes told me that he is too slow to play at URI and not athletic at all. I refrained from posting my thoughts sooner because I did not want to have any negative postings about our future...

Miramfan

Miramfan

Great news! Jordan, Hassan and Earl can all jump out of the gum and block shots. We will be a major force.

Miramfan

I would love to get an assistant coach to help out with our post players. I think a coach that played in the post would be great for our players.

Miramfan

AAU Coaches are relentless at taking players from other AAU programs therefore other programs might not help with their players. I would think that long term this could hurt really bad. AAU Coaches also have a bad rep for being shady. I remember several posters suggesting that this coach may have ev...

Miramfan

Adding to this, one of OSU's assistant coaches (Steve Middleton) was let go in early April. He was reportedly Terrell's main contact with the program. I like going after an assistant coach with ties to Jared better than an AAU coach. I think URI or DH do not have to appear desperate. DH said before...

Miramfan

I will be praying for your daughter.

Miramfan

Cooke is a stud! I hope he is coming. He and E C would be a great duo.

Miramfan

What grade would you give Preston's recruiting take? One star, one talented but seemingly troubled player , one potential star, a role player, a handful that transferred out. I would give him an A. He got Matthew the co-rookie, Garrett, a stud point guard, Watson a Wichita St Commit and he was real...

Miramfan

Preston would have received a 15k raise for the first year a 10k raise the second year and another 15k the third year. That is 40k over three years and not close to 100k raise.

Miramfan

I believe Preston when he says that his move was not all about money but I am sure money had a big part. I also think that being able to recruit in one of the best basketball conferences in the country was another reason. Whatever the reason, I wish him good luck and success.

Miramfan

Well, I was told, Kevin Tirone's father is or was assistant coach at Curtis High, where Hassan went. We hired Tirone's son. Coincidence? Maybe. There seemed to be a lot more to his recruiting than Jim Carr. Rod you are right. Kevin is the DOBO and he can't get credit but he and Hurley are the reaso...

Miramfan

Hey Rod, is the info about Jordan coming back from a reliable source?

Miramfan

That is great news for Preston. I wonder how much coin he will be making now.

Miramfan

Great job E C. You represent Your home state well and also URI.

Miramfan

Great Job Dayton! I think that the meat grinding conference games have a lot to do with their success.

Miramfan

TJ and Gil. I am hoping that Gil will work on his defense this off season.

Miramfan

Very nice article. X seems like a great guy. I hope he has a future playing ball.

Miramfan

This was good exposure for URI but, If I did not read this forum and the recruiting section, I would think that Luke was the Head Assistant or the Associate Head Coach. The article referred to him and Coach Hurley as the leaders of the Staff. Obviously Coach Hurley leads this team but the facts stat...

Miramfan

That play was crazy. I am surprised EC has not made the top ten before now. He was ridiculous in high school.

Miramfan

Additional job offers will continue to come for Murphy but remember URI is where he went to school. As URI upgrades this program and enhances the revenue from it, Hurley's package will increase which will increase the assistant coaches salaries. If Murphy continues to have recruiting success and gr...

A few weeks ago I sprained my ankle playing basketball and I thought I did some serious damage to my ankle. As a youngster I chipped a bone in my ankle due to a severe sprain and I believed that the pain was very similar. My first thoughts were; Which hospital am I going to and how much time will I ...

Miramfan

Having some trouble trying to post this from my cell. Preston is in Michigan because his step father, Ollie Barry, died.

Miramfan

I hope he stays. Perhaps Preston was sent on a mission to convince him to return. Hare was his recruit after all. If Preston can do that, major credit to him. Sometimes when a young man gets it in his head that there are no options, even if there really are, that can be a very difficult thing to sw...

Miramfan

I am pumped and ready to see this young team in actions.

Miramfan

Preston Murphy has been recruiting in California and has ties there. He was there for a few days.

Miramfan

I have heard that Jordan's improvement is unbelievable.

Miramfan

I nerver heard of Alex & Ani until a few weeks ago on this forum. I just saw a sign advertising their arrival at a jewelry store here in Michigan. I think in order for URI to compete with some of the big programs they need to take advantage of their ability to use advertising dollars to the max....

Miramfan

Hey RJ, PC invested a lot of time in pursuing EC. You just don't offer a kid or do a home visit because you are in the area. EC and James Young both played on the same AAU Team and PC wanted them both. PC was at every game in July to watch both of their targets, obviously they lost those battles. I ...

Miramfan

Sorry for the double post but my last one did not work out as well from my I-Phone. I just want to make sure that it is known that PC offered both EC and Martin. PC came to Michigan for a home visit with EC also.

Miramfan

1) Who said URI shouldn't compete with PC for recruits? I've lobbied for months I'm happy PC and URI have some common recruits but it enhances the rivalry. It gives the teams incentive to hate certain guys and it gives the fans something to talk about besides a game in early December. 2) Why would ...

Miramfan

Hare will no doubt be more productive against certain types of teams. I'd love to know how many of his field goals were dunks! I was not able to make the games but I did speak with someone that did. They said that during warm-ups Jordan was making a lot of his short jump shots. They also said that ...

Miramfan

2 big takeaways from this one...they look good on the couple of inbounding plays they had, and Iffy Biruta, and Hassan have post moves in that 4-8 foot turn around shot range that we haven't had in a while. DANGEROUS. And on that breakaway was that biggie with the through the legs backwards pass to...

Miramfan

The national attention is nice. Although I was concerned when Bobby left, it seems that Coach D. Hurley And Murphy are not missing a beat.

Miramfan

I am glad that URI was able to get this game. I know the kids from Michigan love it.
