End of the day, RV and others are only reporting what they hear. If the situation changes, its not RVs doing. Don't shoot the messenger. Amen to that. We finally have someone putting a ton of work into this program through interviews and transfer/ recruiting "rumors" and the majority of t...

I admit that I was very pro DC in order to preserve the recruiting class once Hurley decided to jump ship, but as of today I'm literally updating twitter on the hour in hopes of seeing a post that we're moving on from him. What a disaster this has been! Poor lineup configurations, lack of accountabi...

To me Malik has been a disappointment in all phases of the game. I expect a consistent (not great) contribution from him. He is the only transfer that played a full year at the D1 level last year. I don’t see his great defense either. I hope he turns it around. I would agree with this statement if ...

https://twitter.com/sniperstephens3/status/1333276451768987649 Chance was tweeting at the team all weekend congratulating them on their victories. Great to see tweets like this from a recruit who people fear may not make it to his signing day! Even better to see coach be this engaged with incoming p...

First time posting in a long time, but I have to comment on the "Sniper!" Chance looks like he's the real deal and is the type of player we haven't seen at URI in quite some time. Loved and played against Jimmy B as a kid who in my opinion was the last legitimate shooter that we've had on ...

It's really not the end of the world. Gregory Hammond is rated as THE BEST player in Louisiana. I mean, c'mon. Do make any definitive decisions on whether our freshman are going to pan out now is really ignorant. 3 games in and people are giving up. Relax. Nobody is giving up. But I don't think we ...

I like the positivity, Process... It's not every day that a 7 footer comes to Rhody so I'm a bit depressed. I would just hate for all of us to get back in that "settling mindset" where our class is "good enough" to win the A-10. We were heading towards bigger and better days than...

MegaRamFan2

I'm by no means a "sky is falling type," but the lack of being able to close on our top 3 targets is a little concerning to me. Even one bad recruiting period can really change the direction that this program is headed. Clearly Cox needs to prove himself before the rest of the country take...

MegaRamFan2

Zagoria got back to me and confirmed the announcement will come on Monday... the wait continues!

MegaRamFan2

Look, I love URI basketball and hope Hurley stays, but they've been marching for an important issue like not getting shot in the head for going to school. Please don't take me so literally. I'm just saying rally in support of our coach. Social media makes it easy for groups to gather and I'm sure c...

MegaRamFan2

With students organizing marches nationwide, there should be a local march at URI in support of our coach today! Get the word out there on campus and get as many people gathered in support for this great program! We can do this!!!

MegaRamFan2

Hello all. Like many others I am absolutely fed up with Cox Cable and their ever-increasing rates and I'm looking to cut the cord. The only reason I have stuck with Cox for this long is to watch Rhody Bball. For those of you out of state or without Cox, what is the best means to watch every game? Th...

MegaRamFan2

I'm all about honest opinions and if you truly think PC will ride their momentum and URI will continue their skid then I'm fine with that. However, Rhody has much more talent and should be able to expose PC. These games are always close so I won't predict a +10 point blowout, but URI will ultimately...

Let me know!

I'm interested in those tickets Blue Man. Are they still available?

I'm sorry if this was answered already, but is there some way that we can watch this game online or on TV? I will unfortunately not be able to make it to the Ryan Center, but would love to still watch the game. http://www.atlantic10.com/mediaPortal/player.dbml?catid=0&id=1779280&db_oem_id=3...

I'm beyond excited for this season and couldn't care less about the uniforms as long as they are playing well. With that being said, those are the ugliest shorts I think they could roll out there for a season.

After a long weekend of college hoops and actually attending games in Providence I finally just got back to this board. I just wanted to throw in some inside info I got from a friend who's close with a higher up at Rutgers... He said that Hurley was one of the most loyal people he has ever met and w...

MegaRamFan2

Yes to beer and YES to replays! You want the crowd to be more engaged and enthusiastic about good plays or bad calls then utilize your massive new HD screens and flash some F***ING REPLAYS! We have one of the best power dunkers in all of college basketball (in my opinion) in Hassan Martin and we don...

MegaRamFan2

Obviously we all can agree that the officiating was not great on Saturday, but when you score 19 points in a Division 1 half you have no business winning. I want to stress that I love the players and passion that Dan Hurley brings to Rhode Island, but his ref management has been horrendous. There's ...

MegaRamFan2

Has anyone here ever sat in the obstructed view seating? There are some available for the PC game and I was wondering how awful the obstructions are.

MegaRamFan2

I agree with you 83, on both ideas. It's very evident that the athletic department would be willing to listen to suggestions and make some changes, but are being handcuffed by the bookstore. A petition would be excellent. I wish I were a student who could camp out at the entrance of the cafeteria an...

Ryan and a handful of others were included on Thorr's response back to me. I addressed Ryan directly and told him that if he would like to hear some feedback that he could email me directly. His email address is on the athletic department directory online, rmajercik@uri.edu.

MegaRamFan2

Alright guys, so I'm happy to say that Thorr got back to me already after my email went out to him around 5:30 yesterday. Here was my original email... " Hello Mr. Bjorn, I would just like to start this email by telling you that I couldn’t be more thrilled with the job that you have done as the...

MegaRamFan2

Well, I took some extra time and drafted a letter and sent it off to Thorr. If you guys are interested in seeing the draft let me know, but I tried to cover most of what was being discussed here.

I will keep you posted if he does end up reaching out to me.

MegaRamFan2

Well, it's safe to say that I struck a chord with all of you. I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way! I'm extremely busy right now, but I think when I find a minute that I will attempt to draft a letter to Thorr and see what he has to say about the suggestions put forward. I'll post the d...

I don't post often, but something I've never heard discussed is the opportunity that the school is missing out on regarding sports apparel (specifically for our basketball program). Every year I look before Christmas to see if there are any new must-have Ram items and I'm always let down. We should ...

MegaRamFan2

However true these claims may be, everyone is focusing on the fact that we were trailing by 25 at half. How about trying to remain positive regarding a young team who actually was +13 in the second half. I see that as a very big plus that both DH and his players were able to make adjustments at the ...

MegaRamFan2

Refresh, refresh, refresh... I feel like we've been here before...

MegaRamFan2

What time is he announcing again?

MegaRamFan2

That would be great ATP. I keep checking this thread to see if I can get a new image of the new scoreboards. Or any conversation about in-stadium food.

MegaRamFan2

I apologize TruePoint. I'll be sure to summarize the next time I post.

MegaRamFan2

TruePoint edit: thanks for posting, but Ace already posted the Insider write-up here. (I think ATP cut it down to cliff notes so we don't have an issue with ESPN.

MegaRamFan2

Just had a twitter notification hit my phone that had @JaredTerrell amongst others. I thought this was the big announcement... NOPE! Him and a bunch of college analysts just followed @NBADraft. And so the nervous excitement can escape from my body once more!

MegaRamFan2

I honestly can't wait for this thread to hit 100 pages! If that happens, we should have a keaney blue party hosted by Hurley and JT himself!

It ain't over until the pen hits the paper. Don't give up hope yet!

MegaRamFan2

I'm taking a break... This refresh game I'm playing on this board and twitter is taking years off of my life. Please tweet @DudeMega if anything breaks. Thanks fellow Rams!

MegaRamFan2

An announcement needs to happen quickly. This speculation is killing me! Landing top 100 players annually is why we were all excited for the Hurley hiring in the first place. Time to seal the deal!

MegaRamFan2

Don't worry SF! You have a ton of people living on Twitter eager to be the first to break the news to this board. Let's gooo!

MegaRamFan2

I can't tell you how many times I have refreshed this thread and my twitter feed this morning. Definitely looking like an unproductive day in the office!

MegaRamFan2

I agree with everything you said, Billyboy, but where is the national letter of intent with PC or BC? Until I see that I will be optimistic on this one. This board is going nuts when no news is really solid about Terrell, it's all speculation. Nothing wrong with trying to be positive and not complet...

MegaRamFan2

The sky is falling! Nothing has been made official so until then I'm not going to cry about who we did or did not get. Hopefully Dan is sneaking behind the scenes on this one, but the fact of the matter is that nobody on this board knows that. Speculation to the max. Let's destroy the 5th yr players...

MegaRamFan2

I remember watching Biruta when he was just a freshman playing against Providence at the Dunk. He seemed to be playing with a desire that hasn't shown itself this year. He seemed to have the most energy on the court diving for loose balls and getting after it on the glass. That's the Gil we need to ...

MegaRamFan2

I have to agree in terms of Hare that his length alone would be a great help. Look at Carson Desrosiers for PC. He's not the most offensively talented player, but he has proven his worth over the last few games simply altering shots in the paint. Desrosiers is 2 inches taller and 50lbs heavier, but ...

MegaRamFan2

I appreciate Aaman's effort night in and night out, but let's be real on this board that he is an unathletic mess out there on the floor. In terms of players mentioned on this board, he is by far the most overrated from what I've seen from posters. Again, you have to appreciate that he plays harder ...

MegaRamFan2

There are a bunch of negative Nancy's on this board. I know there was a lot of hype around this team, but we have to keep in mind that our most critical players (outside of X) are freshmen and transfers who are still getting up to speed with college ball, and who will most certainly need to shake of...

MegaRamFan2

I expect the bigs to dominate down low tonight and this will be Gil's coming out party. You heard it here first. There is a reason that we can recruit players ranked in the top 100, we're a legitimate D-1 program! You guys can argue that we will come out flat, as they have shown in the first few gam...
