From what I've seen from all of the videos , Wright has a very quick and smooth crossover dribble which should help him get his own shots. That
is something you can see regardless of the competion he was facing.

luke

Is there any more recent photos or videos available for the practice facility and is there a planned completion date yet ? what still remains to be done
before the completion date ? Will there be tours of the practice facility ?

luke

I think if Archie wants this kid I have to believe he will be good . If you are concerned about who else was recruiting Wright , tell me where was all the recruiting of Tyler koleck who is now a star at Marquette. We have to trust Archie. He has a proven track record of finding under valued recruiit...

luke

Dayton has been very successful over the years with freshman starting point guards such as Scoochie Smith , Jalen Crutcher and now with Malachi Smith . Having a starting role for a freshman PG for them sped up the learning curve for those players and led to exceptional careers . I don't see a proble...

luke

Completely agree.

luke

Oh , forgot Eric Reynolds 11 St. joes

luke

Kahlil Brantley , Lasalle ? , Devante Gaines George Mason ? Brandon Davis Texas State ? Brenden Tucker Georgia State ? Not much of a clue since about six guards scored 15 against URI this past season.

luke

Question : Is it really true that if the Raptors do not convert Jeff's contract that he will be a restricted free agent after the season , but if they do convert his contract he becomes an unrestricted free agent after the season ? That sounds backwards that a team should benefit from not giving a p...

luke

My point being Rhody 15 was that if foster wants to be on the same team as Abou enough maybe he is willing to ave reduced playing time . And if he is good enough to play here then what's the problem ? If he isn't good enough to play here he probably wouldn't be good enough to play anywhere Abou woul...

luke

Congrats to the whole Hurley family . A bunch of down to earth , nice people . I'm very proud of Dan and he will always be part of Rhody to me.

luke

Hey if it has to be both , so what ?//// Remember , 11, 12 and 13 on the bench don't see the floor , so if Foster can't crack the lineup and is okay with
sitting , that can be a good thing . You don't want highly talented guys grumbling on the bench and who can't wait to leave.

luke

As Billyboy said sometimes it can be academics . Obbie Toppin redshirted because of academics . You don't think he was basketball ready as a frosh ? I think Formena might have been a combination of things including health , academics and the time off from both school and practice . archie had said F...

luke

Dayton has often had great freshmen point guards over recent years including Schoocie Smith , Jalen Crutcher and most recently and current
point guard Malachi smith . So if Cam Estevez is up to the level of any of those Dayton PGs then they will be absolutely fine .

luke

So Rhody 15 , Baron had several 20 win seasons : 07-08 21 wins NIT 08-09 23 wins NIT 09-10 26 wins NIT 10-11 20 wins CBI . And were URI fans thinking the program was where they wanted it ? No , and Dayton fans were not happy with Brian Gregory either . The situations are very similar . Archie no dou...

luke

A lot of over reaction to this . There are three possibilities here : He didn't want to come to URI and preferred Fordham which I have a hard time believing ( Unless he wants to be closer to home ) or he was a backup plan to someone or someones whom Archie now feels he can get or Archie has received...

luke

Yes .

luke

You'll get no argument from me Rhodybb91 . would love to have Battle AND Leggett next season . That would be a great starting point from which
to build . Then add House and Minor and we will be all set . C'mon Archie , make it happen.

luke

any photos of the newly completed practice facility floor ?

luke

I have to completely disagree with this statement . and I believe it is very unfair to Carey . If you go through the box scores you will find Carey had double digit games in most of the wins and some close losses . Your memory is a bit short . Carey had 18 points twice against Lasalle in a win and a...

luke

nice Dino .

luke

I have several suggestions since we need five or six additional home games . How about Princeton as a draw , following their current sweet sixteen appearance ? Others might include Hofstra , Iona , Penn , Kent State , Wichita State , take a shot at West Virginia since we played at WV and played them...

luke

Thanks , Ramster . Maybe URI will post the inside soon . Interesting that something is going on on the exterior of Keaney Gym also . that is a hopeful
sign that the outside of the practice facility might have some new facade or signage coming too.

luke

So I guess there are no new photos or any new information available over the past 4 weeks since no one has offered anything .

luke

Any new photos of the practice facility from march 2023 that shows more progress this month ? Does anyone know if there will be any treatment to the exterior of the building such as some type of signage or other changes to the exterior of that part of the building ? I would hope that they would dres...

luke

Put me in the column of those who truly wish Ish would stay . He has done all he could for the program thus far and deserves to be part of the
transformation when it happens .If they could get Battle and retain Ish the team could be on its way in a hurry. Ish please , please , please stay .

luke

If we are giving a grade to Archie for this season , I give him an incomplete . I am a patient person . It is always hard to be patient and I remember many people on this board were doubting Hurley .Hurley started out 8-21 then went 14-18 then 23-10 . the next season when Matthews went down they wer...

luke

Yes RF1 I believe a major turn around can happen I believe if Bilau had not been hurt they could plausibly won an additional 5 games this season and been 14- 17 and with additions could win several more . Are you aware that dispite being without Foumena and Belau they were very competitive in almost...

luke

Expect the A 10 to be much stronger next season . Dayton suffered major injuries early in the season that hurt their OOC performance . they were Missing Malachi Smith , Brea , Elvis and Blakney for most of the OOC games . If Holmes and Camara return they would return everyone . Even if just Holmes r...

luke

There are certainly a lot of question marks on this team for next season , but there are a few guys who could be answers that are on the roster now . First of all , Foumena could be a major contributor next season if fully healthy and combined with a healthy Bilau . Weston was beginning to show prom...

luke

The worst shooting I have ever seen . Game over . Nice game URI. way to quit . Very appropriate ending on this season i guess with an exclamation point. Are they feeling pressure ? If so , why ? Or are they just truly that bad ? right now they look every bit of that bad.

luke

line is up to Lasalle - 1.5 . Can't see anybody betting on this game.

luke

They don't have to make a run to win and they don't have to be consistent to win . They only have to win one game , the one in front of them . If they somehow win that one game then they still only have to win one game to advance . It is much easier to win just one game and the team needs to look at...

luke

Love this Blueman and I don't think your thoughts are farfetched at all. All they have to do is win one game against a Lasalle team that isn't any better than URI is . If they win that game then you can look forward and the next opponent is not going to be a guaranteed win for Duquesne although they...

luke

The line is out right away this morning and it is a tight one . LASALLE -1 .This c0uld be a real dogfight . URI should have won both meetings this season and was able to erase a 16 point deficit at home to win 72 -70 . Both teams are streaky but haven't been playing that well recently . Have a feeli...

luke

Good points Rhodyrams 86 I guess regarding the coach and control of his players , but still I have seen some really dumb plays made by teams with outstanding coaches over the years . I respect your opinion and I do not claim that my choice is the only legitimate way to go . In the case of URI they d...

luke

Rhodyram 86 . No I don't think the full court heave would be abetter shot . But again , you can't guarantee URI wouldn't make a boneheaded play and accidentally foul on the rebound which would result in a loss if both fts were made . we have seen this group find ways to lose so I would not put it pa...

luke

For those who said you should make the final ft if you are up by 3 you are absolutely right . So steviestuds and Jersey77 I apologize , what in hell was I thinking ? As far as the possibility a for foul on a second missed ft , I have seen players unintentionally foul because they aren't aware of whe...

luke

For those that wanted Ish to miss the second shot , what if URI somehow fouls on the rebound ? Then they make two fts and win the game . They should definitely placed a defender on the in bounder to at least obstruct his vision Imo . A two point lead also forces them to make a three to win . As it w...

luke

G R O U N D H O G D A Y I S O V E R . Finally a different result in a game and a road game to boot . Nice shooting by a number of players including Thomas , Leggett and Stewart . A late put back from Martin was also huge . Outstanding ft shooting by the team especially Leggett . Felt good to win a g...

luke

Can't like the chances of this team until they finally win a game. I hope they can beat this team that has been similar in that they have given good teams trouble but have lost in the end.

luke

The line is out bright and early this morning and has been set at Loyola Chicago - 3 . Seems fair . will URI finally end a seven game losing
streak . I doubt it , though if they somehow play a decent full 40 minutes they probably would win.

luke

With this team you never know . They will probably be the team with the lowest expectations and the least amount of pressure because any wins in the Tournament would be gravy and a loss is meaningless. They have been so close in a number of games so you never know . Am I expecting an upset or two fr...

luke

G R O U N D H O G D A Y . The same game every game . Go down early , go ahead , but go down again at the half . In the second half catch up , go ahead again , but turn the ball over , take bad shots and miss free throws that might make a difference near the end . In short , do whatever it takes to l...

luke

The ealy line is FORDHAM -8.5 . That is a big number , but it's hard to pick the Rams to cover any spread the way they have been going for the past several weeks . They were one missed free throw from defeating GW and one tougher defensive stand from defeating VCU . They have not responded well in t...

luke

Spread has dropped a point to URI - 2.5 from -3.5 . not surprising .

luke

The opening line is URI - 3.5 but URi missed the spread by about 30 points against UMASS so who knows what might happen here and unfortunately probably even fewer care after 5 straight losses and that debacle on Saturday. This one could end up as a blowout either way depending on whether The Rams co...

luke

This season can't end soon enough . They are embarrassing themselves . they are clearly the worst team in the league right now and it isn't close.

luke

URI is absolutely awful today . This may be the worst of many poor performances this season . They simply can't shoot a basketball . they can't
handle a ball like college basketball team and they are weak up front . just not fun to watch this team at all . It is literally painful..

luke

Getting to this a little late but the line is URI -4.5 . Have to believe URI can win this game and cover the spread . All they need is the same effort and intensity they exhibited on Wednesday versus VCU . They cannot afford a letdown if they want to win this game . I think they need topick this one...

luke

I went back and looked at the play several more times . It looks to me like Weston's arm came in contact with the right shoulder of the VCU player , but Weston clearly had position . Probably if Weston had just rebounded the ball without extending his arm he would not have been called for a foul , b...
