Slight typo on the all defensive list, unless I missed Makhel's 5.6(!) steals per game last year. :lol: That is obviously his rebounding avg. About where I thought we would be forecast. But there is a lot of rotational continuity from last year, which I think means something in this era of the A10....

At this point, I'm jonesing for any basketball action, ha. Thanks for the write-up, Spooky!

If we're a good, above .500 team, then I suspect the MVP would be Leggett or Walker. Basically, a guy who took a big jump in production. If we're right around .500 or slightly below, then it's probably Sheppard. He's a nice player, but if he's your *best* player, it isn't a great sign. (I can't find...

Heard we have a walk on guard from new jersey? Not sure if information about him is out there, or how good he is. Haven't read anything about it on the board, but may have missed it as I've avoided most of the posts that have turned into Covid discussions! Parnell Pierre https://gorhody.com/sports/...

And as of 10/21, he does sign with Syracuse.

Didn't see this before, copied from A10 Talk: Rhode Island "The 2021-22 Rhode Island Rams find themselves with an entirely new identity to develop, following the transfer of would be 5th-year senior guard Fatts Russell to Maryland. The Rams also lost sharpshooting wing DJ Johnson and big man J...

I prefer St. Bonaventure's approach, which is also what Hurley did, although the caveat would be that URI just wasn't as talented or deep as them. Russell and Sheppard got played a ton, which was probably appropriate. Ish probably should have been 30+ MPG for the second half of the season, but he wa...

Cox's sub patterns certainly seemed a bit too rigid to me as well. It's one thing if you're a pro coach, with players in their 30s and you're managing fatigue levels, or if you have players nursing injuries. Players want to play, and you can't necessarily trust them to manage themselves, and sometim...

I think we overrated all these FA signings we made Judon been great , Henry pretty solid but most of the others seem overrated NFL free agency is usually worse than the other sports, since there are so many tags and ways for teams to keep their existing good players. Since the Pats weren't sinking ...

I agree with both of you. BUT, Walker did not always start last year, and he did not always start the second half, and he did not play as many minutes as I thought he should have - others also thought Walker should have played more minutes So based on what I saw last season I have reason to believe...

Wow - that's a pretty great spot for Jeff to end up! Looking at their depth chart , they don't have a ton at guard, since obviously Curry is going to play a ton of minutes most games. But if he's on the active roster, he'll get a chance to play in garbage time, and the Warriors in general haven't be...

I don't really think we should read much into the starting lineup for a scrimmage, with only one Mitchell playing. It makes sense to put the remaining Mitchell on one team, and Walker on the other, unless you just want them running over Samb the entire time. I'm usually a proponent of playing your b...

He got the shaft That sucks. I don't know anything about the Orlando roster...who should they have cut instead? It's kind of hard to point to someone - the Magic suck, but the players ahead of Dotwin were mostly younger guys. It's not like they're keeping the corpse of Darren Collison or Rajon Rond...

McCarthy being way too conservative on fourth downs and way too aggressive with attempting long FGs would drive me absolutely insane as a Cowboys fan. Especially since they have a mobile quarterback, a good line and TWO good running backs. Romo brought it up immediately - If you pick up the 4th-and-...

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think the Patriots beat Dallas on Sunday. Belichick will come up with some kind of plan to slow down that potent offense. He's done it so many times in the past. Of course it would help if they still had Gilmore (and Brady), but Mac is growing and if they can find enough heal...

I didn’t think the Sox (or the Yankees) had snowball’s chance in hell to beat the Rays. So who knows? Baseball is both stupid and great because the results of a 162 (or so) game season ultimately just determine seeding for a tournament of best-of-5 and best-of-7 series. I think one of the Baseball ...

Nepotism. https://mobile.twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1447961346163806211 Haaaa. I mean, his clips are impressive. I think the recruitment on him stopped from all colleges quite a while ago, so they must have figured he was going to go this route instead. Family members of Giannis and J.R. Smit...

Updated. He's now 6'8", and gotten a ton of interest from big schools.

Edited with latest offers and rankings.

Updated with his new offers. In this video, he's #21 on the white team, although the team they're playing is pretty outclassed.

Added his most recent offers. Most recent YouTube highlights:

Updated with his new offers. Latest clip from four months ago:

Updated with his new offers - He's up to 21, and also took an unofficial visit to Ohio State. From March, him vs. another prominent prospect:

Updated with latest offers. New highlight reel of his sophomore year:

Updated with his new offers. He has a highlights clip from his most recent season now posted:

Makhel has two career attempts from 3-point range, so, if he's been working on - that's not the worst thing. If he can establish himself as a threat from 3-point range, then it stretches the defense. Otherwise, you might have some bunching in the paint issues if you're playing him and Walker at the ...

I added a couple of his other offers - it's unclear if we're still interested. From poking around, it sounds like he was injured in 2020-21 and might not have played much, but that he also bulked up and grew another inch in height, to 6'10" potentially.

As of now, he's still unsigned, so, it seems likely that he's going to an unnamed prep school or JC. He's RT about some players going to Elevation Prep, so, I'm guessing that might be the destination, although they don't have rosters posted online to confirm. ETA - Last highlights on YouTube are fro...

Some game action, along with a longer interview:

While URI is still listed as an offer, he now has a dozen of offers from power conference teams. Unclear if we're still involved much with him. Most of the offers are from 2020, none from 2021. One minute highlight reel was published last week though:

Not a ton of recent tape out there. This is from February 2021:

Jayshayne "Jay" Woodard - SG From: The Bronx, NY School: Woodstock Academy (formerly Wings Academy, NY) Travel/AAU: ??? - Formerly 2021; reclassified to 2022 Ht: 6'6" Wt: 170 RANKINGS: Scout: N/A Rivals: N/A ESPN: N/A OFFERS Rhode Island Fordham Towson Illinois St. Peter's Manhattan

His recruitment has really blown up this year, with a bunch of power conference teams now offering. He has a visit scheduled with Rutgers, and it's unclear if we're involved with him outside of the initial offer in June 2020.

Picked up offers from VCU and Rider.

Still listed as being involved with him on Verbal Commits, but there's pretty much no info about him and URI since that offer in 2018. IUPUI also offered in 2018, and Bryant offered in June 2020. There are some highlights from May 2021 on YouTube. Good shoot, but seems very floor-bound. Might be up ...

Looks like he opted for junior college - According to Twitter, he's at Vincennes in Indiana.

ETA: There is also an older thread on him, with some more info: viewtopic.php?p=373065#p373065

To update this one... Unclear if he's going to play college basketball. After a prep year at Brewster, his listed offers are still only URI, Nebraska, DePaul, UC Riverside and North Carolina A&T. He was originally going to graduate in 2019 or 2020, I believe. If he just wants to go to college or...

Committed to Virginia Tech on Oct. 3. Given DC Rams' post and how he blew up, I don't think we were ever really in serious contention for him.

According to Verbal Commits, in his 10/6 update he cut URI from his list. Syracuse, Rutgers and Washington are hottest on him.

He also has a profile on the Dream Scouting Network of Maryland, which is viewable here. I believe he is a Maryland native, and he's going to prep / private school in NC now.

Again as I posted several times. The HC does line up the games, but the AD or that department is involved in the process and they give final approval. Eh, I think you're backpedaling here a bit. Like the AD's role, as I understand it in most programs, is basically just to serve as more of an admini...

Wait a second. Are you saying Thorr was involved in making the schedule? Do you have something to back that up? If we have a basketball coach, who isn't able to make his own schedule, that right there would say I want him fired. There is literally nothing to back up this assertion and anyone that's...

Since it's pretty easy to scroll past the pins, no. I don't even browse the board by individual forums, though - Bookmark this page, and just check out all of the new posts since you last visited the board.

It's not a hard $tory to follow. I imagine that the revenue from an annual Texas vs. A&M showdown is huge, even if the teams are at varying levels of contention and competitiveness in any given year.

Kent State, per his Twitter.

There is pretty much zero way to do a coherent ranking of 300+ coaches. It's content solely meant to generate arguments and clicks.
