Hurley is a great coach. No doubt. But his in-game antics are incredibly cringeworthy. He acts like an a child. If you remember, his first 3-4 years with us he acted like a fool on many occasions. His behavior was borderline embarrassing. He acknowledged it at some point and definitely reined it in...

Transfers will drop after next season.

The extra Covid year will have expired.

Rhody15

Hurley isn't leaving UConn. Certainly not before he passes Calhoun for titles. Then - it would be more likely he retires. Just like when I said Kentucky would be open, and Dan would use this as leverage to improve UConn (assistant's pay, NIL, etc), Dan isn't doing another rebuild. He's a God in a p...

If a player like Joseph commands 500k we are screwed. I seriously doubt that number though. 100k tops. It's like everyone has a price tag attached to them. It's gotten beyond ridiculous. Believe it’s well north of 100k, but would be shocked if it approached 500k. They did have to be competitive wit...

Besides JD, who came from the DMV? We've had some hits with Jeremy Sheppard, Stan Robinson, Antwan Walker, Ish Leggett and Jaden House.

Aside from losing Dan Hurley, Kenny Johnson moving out would be the worst loss in URI athletics history. The implications would be drastic. They really would be. Realistically, he is all but gone, and so is Hammond (as if he’d stay for more than two years anyway). There is just this sad lack of loy...

Rhody15

Am I the only one checking in on Hammond? This kid is the real fucking deal. Yeah he does not only run the offense at a fast pace efficiently and is a great play maker for his teammates. It seems like he really has improved his 3 point shot. His defense is very good too. He had an awesome steal in ...

We don't recruit New England kids. We do - we were in the mix with Amdy last year and couldn't afford him. I know we do. I was being sarcastic. We just can't land any of them. Were Jarvis and Jared the last 2 significant recruits from NE Prep schools that we got? That was 10 years ago. Austin suppo...

Maybe EC would have come here (although I doubt it) ,but I totally disagree about Jared. Being a top 50ish recruit with the body to immediately compete with 21 and 22 year olds, he would have been offered by other schools 2 or 3 times what we would have been able to offer. I don't blame the kids at...

Rhody15

Whether it was pre-NIL or now, we would never be in the discussion with certain kids, so drawing comparisons to "million dollar demands" is an exercise in absurdity. When the dust settles the 5-star kids get the big bucks and go to the P4 conferences. They were going to those schools befo...

Rhody15

One thing that I think absolutely needs to change is the collective has to have the option to direct your payment 100% to the program of your choice. You have the option to donate to specific programs in athletics. Need it for NIL as well. Some want it 100% to mens basketball, some 100% to women’s b...

How? If you want to get good players, this is how you get good players. You certainly don't have to donate, you certainly don't have to buy in. For everyone that doesn't want to jump into it, just don't whine about the quality of the players we have and how many games we win or lose. This is the in...

Really nice addition for the Joe's in the portal. He started 25 games at PG for Rutgers and led the team in assists, steals, and FT% (86.4%) Also good size at 6'3", 2 years of eligibility, and can make a huge impact dropping down to our level. Had 23 pts/ 8 rebs against Ohio State, 19 pts/ 6 a...

So I'll just ask Stone here. If top players are going for about $250K a year, and we get a starting five that the NIL is paying $1.25M a year for players, how does this work?

I have a feeling that after Dan wins 3 or 4 national championships at UConn that he and Andrea will retire here in Rhode Island and Dan will coach his last 4 or 5 years here.

Bravo to Dan Hurley whose UConn team have dominated in the NCAAs so far, winning by 32, 17, and 30. We can bask in some reflected glory of his achievement knowing he got his most important chops at Rhody.

Losing Zek and Weston kind of sucks, as I was hoping one would stay, but we should be able to find players of their caliber in the portal. The question is, can we get better players than these two?
