Somebody please explain this site to me.
I trried to call the only phone number I saw anywhere 520-750-7456.
I tried to register and it said my name was already taken!
Really wanted to call.

Obviously, with [Hurley's] background on this side of the coast he’s going to get great players up there and I think he’s got he right approach with what he’s doing,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. “With the way they played tonight he may get there a little quicker than he thought he would.” Zags...

Tom Penders‏@TomPenders

If I was coaching URI I would have been tossed by now...Rhody trails 60-48..Refs have no idea how much this gam means to Rhody. Too bad!

Tom Penders‏@TomPenders

Refs are doing all they can to help Ohio St build a 9 pt lead. Absurd call against Rhody.

rodfromcranston

Unfortunately, Canisius beat St. Bona 72-69. Bona had the lead by 5 at the half.
Billy had 9 points.

rodfromcranston

I don't remember ever feeling this good after an 11 point loss!
I hope we saved something for tomorrow.

rodfromcranston

I just told Cordischi to tell fatass Pete Shepard, that he's a moron.
Hey, part time talk guy, we didn't lose by 50, did we?
So, do we play the loser of the SH-Wash game?
When would they be playing?

rodfromcranston

I'm telling you, 67, he could make a big difference this season.
You can see parts on a team, but it's like a donut. Big hole in the middle.
An agile bull like Onyekaba, could make them very interesting.

rodfromcranston

I can't say how proud I am of this team and the effort they gave against the number four team in the USA. Anyone think if we had Onyekaba, that we couldn't be a decent team? Too much Thomas, as I expected, but way too many second chance baskets by OSU. Huge rebound edge. Everyone contributed somethi...

GO BONNIES!!!

D'ya like to watch gladiator movies?

rodfromcranston

Thomas is the matchup we won't remotely have an answer for.
He's strong, and quick. Is Nik going to guard him? Malone?
Craft without TJ is a tough one, too.

rodfromcranston

Ever been in a Turkish prison?

rodfromcranston

I didn't realize we were in church. Of course you never talk like that, right? Let me fill you in. ATP sent both of us a PM, asking us to stop name calling, after my post which you've chosen to highlight. Your freind came on after these PMs were sent out, and continued his name calling. THAT's why t...

I always thought, the best teacher is expericence. Nobody improves sitting on the bench. Also, there is pre-season practice and an exhibition game or two. Long time for staff to make their judgements. We'll see how good these kids are then. If they dominate in practice, and exhibition games, they'll...

rodfromcranston

Jim Harrick's UCLA assistants, Gottfried, Romar and Lavin, all
doing pretty well in their careers.

rodfromcranston

Martin is more talented than Reischel, too. Maybe Reischel will start for a few games. Hurley said he'll run a meritocracy, and seniority won't matter, as it did with CFL. We're talking NBA upside, and a still growing body. Martin turns 17 November 22! Matthews starts, day one. They are really sky h...

rodfromcranston

It's all "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin", because regardless of what we think, here, it's not our call or even Hurley's. It's whatever the NCAAs rulings are, odd as they may be at times. I'll bet anything that they'd like to have a representative team now, and bank on bein...

rodfromcranston

I like it.
Munford can handle the point.
Not a lot of offense no matter who plays, anyway.

rodfromcranston

Ya think?

rodfromcranston

Supposedly, Bryce Cotton is on crutches today.
Geez, and I thought we had problems.

rodfromcranston

More name calling idiocy. If the shoe fits.......

Practice includes Biruta.

rodfromcranston

Hey, my posts here were my thoughts. I wasn't asking for this guy's approval. So, he comes on and uses words like "crazy" "wrong" and this bullshit "Wizard" crap. Who the hell died and told him he was the king of basketball knowledge? He shows he's only against whatever...

rodfromcranston

As I said, even Lamar Odom had a long time before finding his game. If Reischel and Onyekaba played this year, there would have been two less players to shake the rust off, next year. Nothing beats playing in real competition. Ask any player, past or present. I operate on the premise that Hurley wil...

rodfromcranston

Martin wants SF, to hone his NBA potential game.

rodfromcranston

Actually, RR, you'd be adding a big wing in Reischel, and a post player in Onyekaba. I think two things would be of benefit. It would make this years team far more competitive, in bringing the talent level higher. More importantly, it takes two players out of the "getting used to playing" ...

rodfromcranston

That last sentence is telling. Gil plays frontcourt, so, the implication is, he's often better than Gil! NICE! I only saw him in the scrimmage. He was mobile, agile and hostile, as Jack Kraft used to say about what he looked for in a bigman, One nice drop-step for a layup, looked like a polished mov...

rodfromcranston

Wow! I have something in common with TP!!!! I'm in shock! I've been a Notre Dame fan since grade school. Catholic brainwashing. Until this year, I wondered if they'd ever climb the mountain again. Lots of thrills over the years, espcially through the best ever, Joe Montana. I hate the Giants. Have s...

rodfromcranston

So let's just close down this discussion board, then. If we're not supposed to discuss players, their game and their strengths and weakensses, and thier standing in relationship to other players on the team, then what are we supposed to post about? How nice the rainy season is? URI football? Happy, ...

rodfromcranston

I don't want to play either team this year.
UMass reminds me of some of CFL's almost teams.
Lots of athletes, but no basketball IQ.
PC is doing it with smoke and mirrors. They have no depth,
but better quality players than we do.

rodfromcranston

Lots of waivers being granted everyday by the NCAA,
Not understanding what the holdup on Onyekaba is.
BAR makes a great point on Reischel. Did the Athletic Dept. even apply for a waiver?
The7'2" kid from the Middle East isn't going home or closer to home out West, and he got a waiver.

"Like I hate the Jets, Yankees, Red Sox ownership group, slow drivers in the fast lane, occupy wallstreeters, and hipsters."
Blue Man, I knew I liked you for a reason!

rodfromcranston

I don't hate anybody. Having lived (my own parents), and worked with PC fans, I came to learn that there are two kinds of PC fans. The real basketball fans, and the fringe fans, like the ones who like the Giants or Yankees. I respect the real basketball fans of any school. The other kind, only know ...

Some things just never change.
We have to make it so they can't ingnore the program.
Yes, the implication was, I was nuts or lying, with the multiple ?????

So, if he visited all his favorites, what's the holdup?

rodfromcranston

When I tweeted about us having #8 rated non-BCS recruiting class,
KMac asked me:"And you saw this where????"
Like I make this stuff up.
Amazing!

rodfromcranston

I'd love to see our offense go though the post to play inside-out offense. You need a post player with a strong base, to withstand the pushing and shoving that goes on inside. Also, good hands are needed, because the pass going in, can't be dropped or bobbled. Hare doesn't have the strength to hold ...

rodfromcranston

Did anyone who watches WPRI, notice the sports goof only mentioned PC's signing, and not our guys?
Typical.

rodfromcranston

This is a happy day for all real URI fans. Number 8 in non BCS recruiting in Hurley and company's first year. This is easily the best staff we've ever had, and their hard work has already paid dividends. The future is bright. There is one, possibly two, remaining scholarships and many fine players t...

rodfromcranston

If Bigby is here for only one year, then we have two remaining.
Some very fine players still uncommitted.

ATP, I have never blocked anyone on any board. I'm not starting now. As I said, when a new poster comes on, and his sole purpose is to slam Hurley on every level, with every post, I think "troll" or somebody with a clear agenda. Sorry if you think defining someone as a troll is something u...

rodfromcranston

I love these guys, because they are not afraid to communicate with us.
They appreciate the support, and tell us so.
As you say, a refreshing change!

One more good player to go! Not done yet, I suspect!

rodfromcranston

I think coming on here and having every single post of a newbie, slamming Hurley on every level is TROLLING!
That's just trying to piss Rhody fans off. Period.

rodfromcranston

Number 8 rated non-BCS school recruiting class, and not done yet!
Watch the troll and the CFL worshippers with the putdowns.

rodfromcranston

Let's not say anything good about the job Hurley and company did here.
You might have atroll or two or some CFL worshippers accuse you of
being too optimistic.

rodfromcranston

I'm very happy to have two guys of this caliber in Hurley's first recuiting class.
