Thanks for all the input from your guys that were there. It was exciting even to just listen to the game online tonight, but I really can't wait to get my first look at this team on Friday (assuming it will be streamed).

adam914

Without putting too much stock in one half of an exhibition game, Munford sounds like he will be a focal point of the offense.

Yep, went out for me as well...and as I type this just came back.

yeah, no problem. Was a little worried there myself for a minute.

ace wrote:I know they specifically mentioned TJ but anything about Hare being banged up?

Nope he's out there now.

adam914

Brooks off the bench before Hare as well.

adam914

Interesting pregame comments from Hurley on the radio. Said offensively they will play very close to the vest and not show much, because we have a game that counts next Friday and you never know who's watching. Said this game will be alot more about defense. No TJ tonight, they are hoping he will be...

adam914

Haha wow, can't be much more clear than that.

adam914

Look, I don't care what record we have this season, because it won't matter. What I want to see is progress, a cohesive offense, and defense that shows up for every game. I want to see every player progress as the season goes on. With this staff, I have every confidence, all of this will come to pa...

adam914

Lets also not put too much stock in the prediction contest either. Maybe some of them really think we'll hit those high win totals, or maybe they are just trying some strategy to be one of the few to pick a winning record. Hard to know for sure either way. I think if you read through most of the pos...

Thats kind of how I feel about it as well. Its just one more weapon for next season when I hope/think we'll make a big jump in wins.

Oh man I hope not, I'm not sure I can deal with another season of that guy.

adam914

Yeah, now that I see it up there it does look better on the bottom.

adam914

What are everyone's expectations for the game? I don't want to see us win simply because we are more athletic (throwing alley-oops over an undersized D3 Team, out running CG on fast breaks, etc.). I would like to see well executed set-plays (solid screens, pick and rolls, good PG play, boxing-out) ...

adam914

1. 10-19
2. 5-11
3. DNQ
4. UMass, 68-61

Bonus: Andre Malone, 14.11 ppg

I should also add I hope I am completely wrong and its really reversed.

adam914

Wow sure does make the schedule sound rough when laid out like that. Great to hear them say that they are scheduling with at-large bids in mind though.

adam914

So I know there has been mention of the Cox Sports online streaming again for this season, but I'm curious if anyone has heard any details about when the streaming scheduled will be released or if it will just mirror the Cox TV schedule. Would love to be able to see the Coast Guard game online if po...

adam914

Great stuff guys, thanks for the reports.

adam914

Agreed, I fall mostly in your #1 situation. I'm just looking forward to seeing this team develop over the year and start the rebirth of this program. Going to be an up and down season in my opinion, but I do feel like there will be an upset or two along the way.

adam914

Seems like its just safe to assume we play without him this year. If he somehow becomes eligible it'll be a pleasant surprise. Even more to look forward to for next year I guess.

adam914

Weird, so maybe they had to get him qualified first before they could file the waiver to play this year? So confusing...

They do it when they get around to it.

That's what I figured.

adam914

This is probably an impossible question to answer with certainty, but does the NCAA "have to" rule on it before the season starts? Or can they essentially hold him hostage without a decision well into the season?

adam914

Blue Man wrote:Yeah, never heard of that before. Interesting. Why not just call it an exhibition game and sell tickets?

Don't know for sure, but maybe just so they can make it alot more informal. Maybe not play full halfs, setup certain situations, stuff like that.

adam914

Yep, definitely.

Oh wow, me too. Good to know.

Yeah I guess that could be it. Anxious to see what he decides...

adam914

Man I have a hard time thinking someone could want to go play for GW or SBU over us right now. I guess maybe I am a bit biased though...

adam914

Hope the "banged up" guys is nothing serious. Last thing we need is some injuries right out of the gate.

adam914

Good stuff, thanks for posting! Jimmy will always be one of my favorites...love the answer to the Duke/Syracuse question. I know I still get angry when thinking about that Duke game, so I can only imagine how he feels.

adam914

Great article. Ok seriously...can this season just start already!!!!!

ATPTourFan wrote:So when do we expect to hear about Onyekaba's eligibility, both this season and remaining years?

Yeah seems like we should hear something soon. Maybe we have to wait and see if he is out there come Nov 2

Billyboy78 wrote:If Dan does leave here someday, and by that time Bobby does want his own program, maybe Bobby stays here?

Yeah maybe, but I think Bobby will want his own program sooner than Dan wants to leave. Just my hunch, but we shall see.

adam914

He ended with 19, and everybody sounds very impressed from what I have read. We got ourselves a good one here folks...

adam914

I read it through the tweet from Hurley earlier today without any subscription.

adam914

If having your height listed accurately means you play like Martell or Vedder than I hope everyone's height is listed wrong.

adam914

I saw from one of the players on Twitter that they are having a scrimmage today. No idea if it is open to the public or not.

adam914

The football issue aside (and I know this is a football thread), I still can't believe we don't try to go big with hockey. I feel like it could be very successful.

adam914

Too bad, would have been a nice addition. The bad news for him now is that he has to face us every year...

adam914

Man I love watching that video. Still get goosebumps during the Duke highlights every time...

Kingston wrote:word from practice is Mumford looks like thier best player (who can play this year) And Hare is not practicing at this time due to an injury.

Well that sucks about Hare, hope it isnt serious. We cant afford frontcourt injuries. Really looking forward to seeing Mumford play though!

adam914

Take it for what its worth, but our RR12345 or whatever buddy on Twitter said its a longshot that he is eligible. Given his track record, that actually made me hopeful that he WOULD end up being eligible.

adam914

Hi. I just signed up for this forum. I have visited the various Rhody message boards since the early days of the Projo board but this is my first post. That's because this is by far the best one and because these are once again exciting times for us long time Rhody basketball fans. I graduated in 1...

adam914

Haha, thats pretty funny.

adam914

I love this one, look at how exhausted everybody looks. As Hurley always says, nobody will out work this team...

adam914

Yeah the more I hear it and think about it, I would probably say thats my top choice as well.

adam914

I have a very good feeling about Malone. I don't know why, but I just think he's gonna make an all-league team at the end of the season. I had a very good feeling about him last season as well. I thought he would come in and be a difference maker. Obviously that didn't happen, but I am still holdin...

Billyboy78 wrote:Interesting when talking about the seniors, he does not mention Brooks. He seems very happy with Nik and pretty happy with Malone.

Probably because it didn't take him very long to see what we have all been seeing in Brooks for the past 3 year. Lazy, overmatched, and just not all that good.

adam914

St. John's has theirs at 7 and Rutgers is at 9:30, so it should be feasible

adam914

Munford does seem like he could be a bit of an X factor. I know almost nothing about him, but the few things I have heard is kind of along the lines of "watch out for this kid, could surprise some people".

I certainly hope thats the case.
