KeaneyBlue - The URI Basketball Forum

I guess Nevermind the fact that this crap should be merged with the other David Cox thread. It doesn’t require it’s own…. I mean, that's your opinion. I hope this thread looks foolish in a couple months. I suppose I'm more in the camp that doesn't think Cox is the answer, but I don't think the situ...

And while we are at it why did you delete my comment from the thread when you deleted the Covid comments? My comments had nothing to do with Covid yet you deleted mine. No problem I put it right back. Guess you didn’t like it. Sorry - Since there were 20+ off-topic posts, it got lumped in with them...

It’s not me settling. End of season it’s make the NCAA or don’t. No contract has been extended and no raise given. I’m not even sure what you’re disagreeing with here, then? How else do you want fans to express how they feel about the coaching situation and the state of the program? Is it just that...

re: KenPom ratings, again, we're so early in the season that the sample size isn't really that telling. There is still a lot of volatility in them, as evidenced by URI gaining a bunch of spots by beating the crap out of Georgia State and two wins against BC.

I'd consider a Top 50 win as a good win. I don't know if that's a "marquee" win, since that's kind of a vague term to me. Regardless though, 5-9 against Top 50 teams isn't great. I don't think we need to exaggerate and say "David Cox has never beaten a good team!" to still make t...

I split a bunch of the Covid posts out. If they resurface in this topic, I'm just going to delete them AND give timeouts to the users making those posts. Last warning.

Per Verbal Commits, he picked up a couple of offers in late July, but nothing since then. Strange that his recruitment hasn't picked up, since he seems to have grown and he's producing really well.

Stepping aside from who should get more minutes - for a minute - and circling back to hiring a new coach. Bit of a question for the group here, and one that I go back and fourth with - Does it make more sense to hire an up and coming guy from a lower tier league, settle for the drawn out rebuild, a...

This win had such an odd positive effect on our Kenpom rankings (among others). Seems to be a big gap that those metrics don’t factor in injuries. We hung a 35 point win on a borderline top 100 Kenpom team that was playing with a borderline D1 roster. This isn’t a complaint just an oddity how much ...

In September, Villanova announced that Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree would stay on scholarship but be medically ineligible to play, pretty much ending his basketball career. He’s playing tonight against La Salle. Is this some kind of Big 5 swan song or did he miraculously heal? Jay Wright, sticking with t...

Ish has struggled shooting, but the one positive so far this year is that he's drawing more FTA per 40. He's at 6.2, which is still off Fatts' rate of 8+ last year and this year with Maryland, but pretty good for a sophomore. Looking at the Kenpom stats, URI is actually 209th in pace - meaning we pl...

We've talked about changing the board layout, yes. It might happen - I'm not really sure how difficult it is on the back-end for ATP to change things. That being said, the last time the women played the same night as the men, there were about seven or eight posts in this thread, and four pages in th...

I kind of doubt this is officially licensed by either side. Copyright enforcement and IP rights are kind of loosey-goosey with breweries, though.

Been looking at all different cars at this point. Anyone own an Alpha Romeo Guilia? I like the look, and has a strong engine. If the Integra falls flat I'm thinking about that car. My wife's friend had one - her husband had a lease on it, but then was working overseas, so it became her daily driver...

He had Thomas and Carey in while all three guards sat in both games. I don’t get playing Thomas with Carey at all. Thomas the pure point guard should be playing with scoring threats in the half court. Is Thomas a pure point? Kind of like how backup catchers are often viewed as better "game man...

Rodgers signs with Illinois.

This is the biggest game in 35 years for this program, and this board is dead. Elon is no joke, we will have to play very well to win this game. I wish I was confident we'll win, but we have a chance. Have to get a lead, and even then, Elon has come from behind several times this season. Just hope ...

Various sources from Google News say he's got a shoulder injury.

Yes but he can't dribble. I dream of his potential but Jermaine Harris also fooled me in the past. That ball sure can get away from him.... Good thing he's doing more good than bad this year...some of it really good! I cringe when he’s the primary ball handler. I’m also not a big fan of the lineup ...

While Fatts holds the steals record, I'd note that that's more trivia and a mildly impressive thing, vs. a sign of him being a John Linehan-like stopper. There are basically four guys clumped in the same range with 200+ steals - Fatts, Keith Cothran, Tom Garrick and Tyson Wheeler. I was 4 during Gar...

There's another RI kid, Jawarie Hamlin from Westerly, doing a post grad year at PRISE Academy in Missouri. His team is playing a few New England schools this week and next up this way. He's had many D1 contacts and/or offers from mid majors (schools lower than the A10) from the tweets I've seen, ma...

Interesting question. I got the idea from the article that it's just going into the National Grid system, but I wonder if something like that is possible I'm not really sure why you would want to do it. A solar panel could feed into the grid for all of the daylight hours. Plus, you might want to ch...

I full suspect them to go like 6-24, with two of the six wins against us.

I like the wins so far, but as a reminder, we were 4-1 two years ago - with the loss to a ranked Maryland team - to open the season. Obviously, I'd rather be undefeated in the OOC vs. a bunch of losses, but even if we weren't, I'm more concerned with how we'll do during A-10 play. I don't know if we...

Currently in NYC for work & stopped at the Blind Tiger (Its a great beer bar for those unfamiliar with the place). They had Tilted Barn on tap. Was not expecting that at all. Ha, nice! Its ratings are so consistently high on Untapped that it wouldn't surprise me to see it popping up at more and...

The BC game attendance at 5,421 was a bit disappointing since the previous two visits by the Eagles in '05 and '10 drew 7,087 and 6,395 respectively. No question that Covid has impacted attendance and the decline has been somewhat masked so far by surprisingly large student turnouts in all three ho...

Charlie currently has URI as the A-10 winner, and a #13 seed against Texas in the Austin region.

Wow - This news seemingly came out of nowhere, but hey, I'll take it.

Ha, not entirely surprising that no one has offered suggestions yet, but... - Al Skinner and Jim Harrick seem like wildly different coaches. What was that adjustment period like? Was he ever tempted to transfer, or, was he always confident about his role on the team and his playing time? - You playe...

Seems likely that he's doing pro ball, somewhere, if he has something to 'announce' in the coming days.

Players tweet and IG when they get offers from us. Yes, but "monitoring Twitter" is a far more arduous task than relying on a recruiting-focused site. I think we are going to make a women's basketball forum, but for now, I think recruiting threads - if people are going to make them - can ...

Since we're getting such good recruits and transfers, I'd like to see a recruiting page for the women like there is for the men. Is there a regular, reportable source for this? In poking around, I didn't really see a Scouts / Verbal Commits style site for women's basketball recruiting. If there are...

Is the only way to listen to Steve and Don is sign up for a subscription to tunein? The varsity app has not worked for either game. Did you get an answer to this question? I was in the car and tried every method I could to access a stream, but was unable to. I used the tunein for B101 and whjj, as ...

I can only remember one. The twins need to get better at two things if we are going to succeed. 1. Staying out of foul trouble 2. Free Throws Shaq would like a word Ha, I know you're probably being facetious anyway, but I think Old Shaq sometimes blurs people's memories about Young Shaq - the quick...

4 years ago, would we have worried about Bryant and BU? Um yes. We got drubbed by Fordham. Stop pretending DH was omnipotent. We have always been susceptible to a terrible loss. No matter who the coach or roster. Just like almost every college team every year. Isn't that obvious? I think this is im...

He transferred to New Mexico State University this summer. He is not listed on NMSU roster for about the last 6 weeks. Which is why I asked. Its very Odd. Eh, not really that odd; it happens more than you'd think. Depending on where you look online for his date of birth, he's 23 to 25. He might alr...

Guys, there's already a Toppin thread. Can we keep things on-topic to the BU game? Thanks. https://keaneyblue.com/viewtopic.php?t=7892&start=200 There are threads here on multiple different topics….they all get hijacked at some point or another. Lol True, and it's not like we're going to suspen...

BOLD PREDICTION: Jalen Carey will be a fan favorite by the end of the season. He won't start this year, but coming off the bench he will wreak havoc on defense and lead to a lot of fast break points. IDK about fan favorite but I was VERY pleased with how he looked. I think he was out of control jus...

I'll be driving home around the time of this one, thanks to the "beauty" of Houston traffic, and tuning in via the radio app. I definitely have more of an appetite for some college hoops this year.

Dowtin got in for another four minutes in the Warriors' drubbing of the Hawks - it was the game Curry had 50 in. 0 points, 1 rebounds, 1 foul. Gary Payton Jr. continues to play well for the Warriors - only 2 points, but 3 steals, 4 rebounds and an assist in 22 minutes. He and Damion Lee (SG, 18 minu...

I was watching the Warriors play the Pelicans this weekend, hoping to see Jeff get in, unaware that he was with the G-League team - whoops! But man, the Warriors know how to scout guards, because Gary Payton Jr. seems like a player too.

The "clear bag" thing was standard for football games out here in Texas pre-Covid, so I think it's just them conforming to a national safety standard of some sort, I imagine.

Given that the Mitchells foul rate last year was greater than 5 per 40 minutes (6.2 and 7.8), I suspect that Walker will get the chance to play 30+ minutes often, especially since the next option would be Samb or a small ball lineup with Malik Martin at the 4, or something like that.

I understand the benefits from these games, but if this game is even within 10 points, it’s almost detrimental to their confidence, our confidence and the overall reputation of the team. Eh, I think the counterpoint would be that if the game is within 10 points, it can serve as a "wake up!&quo...

With the caveat that the sample size is too small to really discern much of anything... In 2019 against Boston College, Cox pretty much went with his rotation for the year, except that Sheppard got to play in that one. In Cox's first year in 2018, it was again a short rotation.

Do we know for sure that Thomas isn't red shirting? I was surprised to see him in the box score getting over 10 minutes, but part of me is wondering if got PT in the scrimmage because it was the only opportunity for him to play in "live action" vs another team without burning through his ...

If you're an optimist, then Thomas has impressed in practices. If you're a pessimist, it's a bad sign he's jumped up the depth chart so quickly, and reflects more on the other guys at the back of the roster. I imagine it's probably a bit of both - he's further along in his development than expected,...

All 5 starters for URI scored in double figures. Bassy played 12 minutes. Maybe they won't redshirt him. No one on Rhody played over 30 minutes. Carey had no turnovers. I think you might be looking at the wrong column - Carey had two turnovers in 11 minutes. It's also interesting that Thomas got sl...
