Agree completely. Get the best players possible and if the transfer doesn’t pass we will get some of the younger guys time and look towards 2021-2022 I am almost positive there will not be a college basketball season this year anyways. March 12 2020 cancelled and then there would be no games until ...

We played 7 last year and went 21-9 with a much harder schedule. Fatts, Juice, JH and Antwan is a strong core. (John McEnroe voice) You cannot be serious. Playing 7 and only having 7 is not even remotely the same. Sooo we had 8 eligible players most of last year, and played 7. We will more than lik...

The two guys I have never been a fan of were Wood and DJ, but it isn’t a great sign to have this much turnover. Every week someone leaves for one reason or another. I don’t consider this like a player leaving. He was never here and was clearly the weakest of the incoming Fr Guards. I look at this a...

You can definitely put the blame on Thorr. A major part of an AD’s job is fundraising for projects/upgrades. He failed when Rhody MBB was at its peak. And no program upgrades have been made in the last two years even though the NCAA Tournament appearances are bringing in $5.6 million. Hurley’s buyou...

Thorr has done nothing in 2 years to help MBB. He said at Cox intro presser in April 2018 the plans hadn’t changed for the practice facility because Dan left. The commitment to Dan was the facility would be ready for Sept 2020 but he wanted to check on what Cox saw as the priority. Last night on the...

For those who didn’t listen to tonight’s chat, Cox said he would like to keep the 13th scholarship open in case of mid season opportunities. And he pretty much confirmed he’s looking for a wing player for the 12th. Wow. He must feel the transfer rule change is going to pass. If that rule doesn’t pa...

Cox recruiting philosophy is find out where you stand early. He is not going to focus on a transfer who “narrows” his schools to 20 in late April.

URI lost out on Akeem with the commitment of the Mitchells.

Vanderbilt

Don’t believe WV or Georgia would accept a commitment.
The question is were the late offers from Vandy and Maryland backed up with commitments.

Well, Obi Toppin was one and done at Dayton, and now Jacob Toppin was one and done at Rhode Island. Now forever placed in the archives up there with Zach "One and Done" Marbury Obi Toppin was at Dayton for 3 years what are you talking about - academic redshirt, Fr year & Soph year. He...

Yeezy doesn’t make it at Texas A&M. Where is Slim?

Berry and Odusipe were teammates. That's why I think we at least have a chance. Ousmane left after we got the twins....didn't want to try to compete with them for PT. Hopefully Odisupe is different and will look forward to the challenge. Maybe Berry can convince him. I also think the staff had Akee...

I agree that Finkelstein is a promoter more than a evaluator.

"A student-athlete may be granted a sixth year of eligibility if he/she is unable to participate in his/her sport for more than one season within the five-year period due to circumstances beyond the control of the student-athlete." I guess his chances are slim... Him not playing last year...

I’m in favor of leaving the last roster spot open. So they can start Sept with 9 scholarship players eligible 😳 Only a few weeks. Until a decision comes through on eligibility. You posted that you are in favor of leaving the last scholarship open. You didn’t say until the vote on the transfer rule....

That’s a full lineup of walkons then. You only get 13 scholarship players.

Will we get another surprise today/tomorrow with Akeem committing to Rhody? Nothing will surprise me after yesterday. TJ told me in early March at the Prep Championship that URI was going to get both Berry and Akeem. They are the only two Spring recruits that had Official Visits. R83, earlier this ...

Rhody83

I'm sure Cox has been talking to Harris about staying or going. Things aren't happening in a vacuum. I would think that if Harris is leaning toward leaving, that Odisupe would be a priority. If Harris was thinking of leaving, he would be significantly hurting his transfer options by not being in th...

I know that his Guardian and HS coach felt that Rhody was the best place for him a month ago.
Not sure that is the same after the Mitchell twins and Abou. Also not sure he is a priority for Rhody any more.

URI has no room for a redshirt. As it stands right now URI has 9 eligible players to start the season and two players at the PF and C position both who get in foul trouble.

That is correct.

I think we need to hold a ship. We are okay for right now. I think the rule will pass. Handling over 1,000 transfers after next season will be crazy. That handling of 1,000+ transfers is going to happen either this year or next. If it passes you have last year’s transfers becoming eligible and this...

This is so weird. Earlier I mentioned it would be funny if Berry committed here after Ousman decommitted, but I didn't actually expect it to happen. DC and '83, don't worry about "misinformation" - I think nowadays even those that are close to recruits and think they know they deal, reall...

Wow. The roller coaster of recruiting. URI definitely pulled back the scholarship offers last week.
I got no response from people last night after he posted the picture that still included RI.
Glad they got him.

Rhody83

Wow on North Texas.

Rhody83

He never posted Toledo.
I think he just put the top schools he was considering (whether there is still an offer or if they ever offered) on tonight’s post.
He is announcing tomorrow at Noon. It is expected to be Toledo.

Of note the league with the most is the A10 at 31 transfers.

Time for URI to focus on the 145 Grad Transfers and JUCO. A grad transfer balances out the classes a little with only two Seniors. At most Cox will take one more Fr.

Rhody83

I don’t see how URI can take another transfer that has to sit out unless the immediate eligibility passes in June. I doubt this transfer is waiting until June. If they did and all 4 transfers had to sit, they would start the season with 9 scholarship players. They have to use the last 2 scholarships...

Gage makes sense IF Fatts is gone. If not, then it doesn't make much sense. Of course, Gage probably isn't going to wait that long, so if you see URI pull the trigger on Gage, then that could very well be an indication on Fatts Spot on. If Gage come, Fatts is gone. They aren’t going to have three s...

Too bad the University can't spend money on a (disinfected) car service to transport him back and worth from URI to get a visit. Have him stay in one of the dorms (disinfect before and after he leaves). The NCAA stated that no on campus or off campus visits are allowed. It is a Dead Period. It has ...
