they'll probably include Jimmy Baron's free throw fundamentals too, right 72?

Rhody is 3-2 all-time at Conte having won the last two. Would also not be the first Wednesday before Thanksgiving game for BC and URI as I recall a late afternoon game there back in 2007.

Was that the Outerbridge coming out party?

Has there been any connection w/Taurean Thompson?

There is no thread on him in recruiting and no one posted any tweets, sources, or any details that Cox is recruited him. I ask cause I think you have mentioned TT a few times jersey77

Congrats to all the seniors!

It was a pleasure watching Jeff & Cyril, two outstanding careers

Yup he ate us alive with Cyril. He may score 70 on us next year.

I'm thinking he could put up a 30/15 spot on us

Jacob Toppin to Kentucky. Sucks that we lost him but i honestly can’t be mad at him in the least bit anymore.

No, It’s that you are equating Iowa State to Oregon and Kentucky. That’s what the comparison is. 2019-20 NET Oregon = 12 Kentucky = 21 Iowa State = 96 Rhody15 is making the argument on the body of work the last 10 years for ISU vs URI. I think all of us can agree that ISU is not a perennial powrsho...

NET 2019-20 Season URI = 57 Iowa State = 96 with a record of (12-20) including (0-11) in road games So you’re only gonna look at one year. Got it, that makes sense. Looking at one year is TOTALLY the correct way in judging a basketball program, instead of, ya know, mentioning the fact Iowa St has b...

Insane list - other than Iowa State which I would call a lateral transfer at best. They suck. It’s also the only one on the list he will act see PT at barring massive improvement. Lol Iowa St is light years ahead of us in all facets of college basketball. Some of the blinders people wear on this bo...

You think this happens with all these people leaving if Hurley was still at Rhode Island? It’s a simple answer: No. They can say whatever they want on the way out.

I have zero faith that we can keep anyone at this point. Our guys clearly don't think Cox can get them to that next level. We are in a good enough conference where we should be able to keep our fucking starters. I understand we are going to lose some guys but this turnover is outrageous. Cox can re...

There's still plenty of minutes for him to share with the Mitchell twins.

That was my thinking, if anything, Walker’s mins could get hurt

Listen, we could go ALL DAY with the comparisons on Tyrese vs Malik I am siding with Rhody15, Rese is flat out the better player...to me (sorry to the others saying Malik is straight up better) but this sounds like sour grapes and and you have Keaney Blue blinders on.

Totally different recruiting world out there now, and for a while to come. Not being able to take 2 day visits and be pampered must be tough for this year's recruits. Phone calls, texts, and videos are the new norm. And it makes it easier for 17-19 year olds to be swayed by others around them. I ca...

wpbrown8267

Is Hurley really recruiting Martin? Why wouldn’t he? It’s fair game at this point. Exactly, this isnt' Danny poaching Rese, Rese left on his own Would you say the same thing if Bobby @ ASU lands Martin too, having the Hurley connection. Anyone can go after him now...I'm not gonna be bitter wherever...

wpbrown8267

Yes, but Malik may avg 25-30 mins a game and get 10, where Tyrese was avg 35 mins. So, any difference in production would probably be added to another player's avg I get what your saying, but this upcoming season we have much better depth. If we had similar depth last season I think you could make ...

I'd be content with 9/5, similar to his production at Charlotte I think Stevey hit it on the post earlier...in my mind we are losing point production with Rese gone (same could be said for rebounds), but gaining a much better defensive player. I guess we could look at it this way, maybe slightly le...

So with the recent commits of the twins, Abou, and Martin (And Berry is not commiting here anymore due to Martin)

Who are we pursuing the hardest? I guess my question to Rhody83 or DC Rams is who would you expect to fill the last spot?

Gage...Murray...another?

So dumb to say this kid isn't a winner.
Fatts is a one man team. He makes no one better. I guess he is some fans cup of tea. Not mine.

I think he made a few better during the 10 game winning streak

I’m not sure on anyone can think the schedule and especially the home schedule are good for next year.
