Coaches that were giving testimony this week said that players and families don’t care anymore about what your plans are for developing them and the family atmosphere etc…all they want to know is how much are you going to pay them. So basically just like those same coaches have always been. Weird h...

Crazy how many shots it seemed like were halfway down and rolled out for Loyola. Great game though!

adam914

Looks like St. Joe's just might pull this off...

adam914

Can't really blame Luis if he is graduating and wants to go pursue a career overseas. For me, he was one that I was on the fence about. I do think he could be a positive vet presence and he always seemed to play hard out there, but I do think coming back would have to be in a reduced role a bit.

adam914

I went with 8. My guess is...

Fuchs
House
Green
Weston
Estevez
Dubsky
Hammond
Farrell

I could see maybe swapping Zek or Brown for Weston or Dubsky on this list.

With the least surprising announcement yet, Rory in the portal.

From the Projo today. Sounds like Archie wants to run it back with a good amount of the guys from this season. “We need to bring back a significant portion of this roster that’s about the right things, and we need our fans to start to grow with them a little bit. “We need our place to start to unde...

D for me. In my opinion F is only deserved for seasons that go completely off the rails in terms of off court issues or things like that. Or if we had someone lost even more games than last year. The D is for at least showing some very small improvement. Long way to go still though!

adam914

Not surprising, but too bad, I do feel like there is some potential there.

The NEC winner was always going to very good chance to play UConn. They are usually a first four team while UConn will be a Top 2 seed. Yep, they are already going to be matched up with one of the top seeds anyway, which is why I could see them leaning in to the storyline with Hurley/Wagner when de...

Yeah 100%, the committee loves to setup these storylines. I could definitely see them potentially trying to match up UConn and Wagner.

We've got to get to the point where we can have success of course, but once there sustain that success. With winning gets the NIL funds consistently high which ensures we keep getting better talent. I can only imagine what UConns NIL fund is, and will continue to be with their success level! Along ...

Join now, so we can all sit back and laugh about these last two seasons while we enjoy a beer together in the hotel bar at the site of our next NCAA tournament game.

Mercifully, its over. There's always next year!

adam914

We're very lucky with some of these misses from St. Louis...

adam914

I usually hate the timeout after the made basket move, but I'll defend it in this case. Archie was still fired up about the defense on the previous possession and he wanted to get Weston back out there. I don't blame him for not wanting to waste any more defensive possessions.

adam914

Its amazing what can happen when you actually get some stops/turnovers on defense and can run the floor a little!

adam914

Finally getting something going and showing some emotion out there!

It makes such a huge difference when Green is able to get things going offensively.

adam914

Kortright...what the hell was that...

adam914

Oh boy Jimerson is gonna destroy us again isn't he...

adam914

Delroy in the house. Someone get him a uniform, we could use him...

adam914

Looks like we'll start about 30 minutes late

adam914

Also friendly reminder that the head coaches vote on these awards, so it has nothing to do with the commissioner or other conference employees.

adam914

Nice, congrats Ish!

adam914

Sure makes it sound like he's gone. Which isn't very surprising.

adam914

If this thing comes to be and continues, wonder if there will be a team that turns down NCAA bid for the money? Or the timing of selection Sunday and these invites? What am I missing ? The article mentions the tournament will be "in the fall" so it sounds like more of an early season tour...

adam914

Obviously it wasn't pretty, but any win for this team right now is a good win. I'll take it.

Here we go again...

adam914

Definitely moving away from the initial intention, but that's still pretty cool! What a great opportunity. I wonder why St. Joe's is in the mix?

adam914

Sun Belt and WCC also appear to have off days. A few others do to but I think those are because early round games are at campus sites, so that makes sense in that case.

If we're going to do that then the school better be asking Archie for some money back to.

adam914

I'm starting to think we might not be very good...

adam914

Of course when we're finally going to hold a team under 80 our offense completely disappears.

adam914

Yeah not being able to see the score/clock is annoying...

adam914

Looks like Fuchs is not starting tonight. I was hoping he'd be back in the starting lineup and at 100%.

adam914

I don't know why, but I have a feeling some things start to click tonight and we come away with a decent win. I hope I don't regret this post in a few hours...

adam914

As others have said as well, you have to make yourself an attractive opponent in order to earn those scheduling opportunities. Why would a P5 or other top teams from the better conferences want to play URI right now? Nothing good can come from it for them. VCU this year played: Iowa State, Boise St...

Yep, lots of coaches doing exactly what they complain about from the players, make as much money as you can and then take your money and run if things aren't in your favor anymore.

9 A10 Teams with NET between 68 and 108 The power conferences and their allies that run the NCAA must be very pleased that their secretive NET ranking system is working exactly as they intended. It means that only one A-10 team (#21 Dayton) is at this time guaranteed an NCAA bid. Rankings in the ra...

This is fantastic news! Having someone like Stone, who bleeds Keaney Blue, in this role should be a game changer. If there is one thing I know about Stone its that the guy will work tirelessly to make sure we are competitive among our peers in the NIL space. I hope Rhody fans realize how big this is...

From Article by Nick Bromberg..Yahoo!Sports about why Nick Saban Retiring Saban also talked about how the way the college football landscape is changing influenced his decision. He estimated that "maybe 70 or 80% of the players you talk to" wanted to know about their playing time for the ...

I think it is reasonable to assume that number of players that transferred from Rhody would be a lot higher if we had good teams and desirable players. Yeah maybe, but that's kind of my whole point. Blaming the transfer rule changes and NIL for our struggles the last few years doesn't make any sens...

As usual the transfer portal and NIL stuff is being way overblown. We keep hearing things about P5 schools taking our best players, players leaving for NIL, etc etc. Since the transfer rule change and NIL starting we have lost exactly 1 player to a P5, Ish Leggett. I guess you could count the Mitch...
