Russell ready for big summer For many juniors, the final summer of the AAU season is their chance to gather as many offers as possible before beginning to sort through them in August and September.

Not a 5 star. Still a 4 star on ESPN who updates their player ratings about once a decade, but Rivals, Scout, and 247 have reduced him to a 3 star.

I've never understood why we pile on this kid so much. Has he ever done anything or said anything about our team? I think he's been of special interest to Rhody fans because, IIRC, it came down to him and Mathews for a scholarship opportunity. I think Hurley chose Mathews after meeting with them bo...

Some on the Rutgers board are saying that both sides are using their media allies to haggle over adding a 7th year to the contract offer.

"Everyone in the state wants him and Rutgers is the state school," a third source said of Hurley. "I think their fan base would be disappointed if [Hobbs] doesn't hire him."

This source clearly doesn't read Rutgers message boards.

If facilities is Hurley's big issue, then how is Rutgers a threat? They're at the bottom of their conference as far as facilities and what kind of assurances can they really make as far as those investments? Seems like Hurley's big pet peeve right now is the assistant coaches' salaries. I believe R...

There's ZERO CHANCE he answers questions on next year's team for an hour if he's close to agreeing with Rutgers. Just kidding, but it would be silly, pointless, and I think unlikely.

Have to call it that far out since some may be traveling a while to get there....

Common courtesy.

They could always send an assistant in Hurley's place, and just say something came up.

BFC

TP, I agree with you, in that this is all speculation. When something like this happens, people's thoughts are all over the board. People can read the same stuff, and take it differently. It's human nature. We're all different. The only thing I'd like to know, is Dan himself really in talks with Ru...

I could see the fact that we've had 2 sellouts in 4 years contributing to Hurley leaving. I could see the fact that most at URI are satisfied with mid-level A10 basketball facilities contributing. I could definitely see the level of assistant coach pay contributing. But there is zero chance that cri...

As for Aaron Wheeler, he's a 6-foot-7, 180-pound forward from Stamford, Connecticut. He attends St. Andrew's School. "Coach Hopkins was at one of our practices a few weeks ago," Wheeler told CuseNation.com. "He said he liked my game and felt it fit well with their system. He also sai...

I did see Wheeler come in about half way through the first half last night with three other guys, none of the others appeared to be as tall as Wheeler so probably not Swider.

The University of Virginia was in Rhode Island wednesday watching sophomore Cole Swider and junior Aaron Wheeler as St. Andrew's opened the post-season with a quarterfinal win over Tilton.

Wheeler's recent interest is from Virginia and Syracuse.

I see the perception a lot that URI football has never been good, and I'm honestly not sure where it comes from. They won three conference championships in the 80s. In 84 and 85 they went a combined 20-6 (9-1) over two seasons. And they followed that up with two 1 win seasons. Two years does not ma...

Best developments of this season by far have been the improvements of JG and JT, really starting with A10 play. A big knock on JT was his ability to finish in traffic and score through contact, he has shown marked improvement there over his last 8-10 games. JG has been a star in A10 play, his lone ...

I may be a basketball imbecile but having Four take the ball out of Jarvis' hands at half court to begin the last possession makes zero sense to me.

Funny when you look at Dayton's top 4 scorers (Cooke, Pierre, Pollard, Scoochie), we had recruiting threads on all of them (Pierre & Scoochie might have been on the old board). We were in the top two with Dayton for both Cooke and Pollard. http://keaneyblue.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3317&h...

Four not only failed in the PG role last night, he's failed in the "shooter" role all year. He's shot the ball well in 5 or 6 games, we've played 22. I don't see how saying we should be moving in a new direction can by seen as too critical or unsupportive. He had to play significant minut...

If they don't change the rules on adult beverages in the seats than they need to make the pub areas two-tiered so more people can see the game.

If Four is being asked to do too much, than stop asking. He's clearly not up to it. I'd rather see players who will be here next year get the PT. Its not giving up because Four isn't helping us win games anyway, Richmond was the last time he made a positive contribution to a win. He should be the la...
