Yes, Green is the starter, and Rory is definitely not playing the 3. If Weston doesn't start I could see him checking out based on what I'm hearing. I also heard he hated playing the 4 last year and if he didn't have to sit, he would have already transferred. [/quote] I hope this is not the case wit...

ram1980

Potentially a much better player than Steve Lyons.. hopefully it's clicked with him. Time will tell..

ram1980

I emailed them about the refund. It supposedly was taken off the cost of the new tickets.

ram1980

If we are dreaming about a walkon getting any serious minutes for a good team unless every other division 1 team missed on this kid we are in deep trouble. Nice story but I am hoping to see him because we are blowing someone out.

ram1980

Sorry gang. Off-season appears to be underwhelming. Hope I'm wrong. It's becoming extremely difficult to push that season ticket renewal button. It's a long ride to keep watching mediocrity. We'll try one more season. Let's see why we hired Archie.

ram1980

Bottom line is I want 13 scholarship players that fit as a team and give us some hope. Tired of not filling the roster then someone gets hurt, someone gets in trouble and wham we're shorthanded. I'm not saying to just get warm bodies, but Archie needs to keep digging and sign a couple of more diamon...

ram1980

I was very confused why people kept saying we had him.. is what it is..We move on Do we know for sure if he was our #1 target? We could have had him but are going after someone else who the staff rated higher. We must be after someone better. He's really not that good. We didn't want him. What else...

ram1980

Why? What's the purpose. He's not going to want to be a role player. If his ultimate goal is to be a pro, he is going to want to be a focal point. Time to move on and wish him well.

ram1980

Extremely soft player with no hands. Not someone we could count on to grow into the 5 position. Seems like a good kid with a good attitude. Just not physically ready for this level.

ram1980

So, anyway, yeah: NO to Carey. " " I am a yes to Carey for next year. Need some continuity year to year. He is a guy who has been in the system a year, probably knows what the staff wants to do and can help transition the new players in. Also won’t demand 35 mins a game so it leaves room ...

ram1980

No to Carey. Please. Nothing personal, but time to move on from him. There has to be plenty of players left that will help this team. We have bigger needs than the mediocrity he brings to the floor. Good luck to the young man in his next endeavor.

ram1980

Not knowing how the new guys are going to mesh or perform (sorry no crystal 🔮 here). I will go out on the limb to say if our defense is improved and our rebounding is improved with the new players, we will definitely be better. I mean how much worse can the offense be. I think it's going to start o...

ram1980

I just hope we are a lot better than last year and see improvement as the season goes along. We really didn't see that this year. So, I am definitely in the wait and see mode. Who knows how these players are going to mesh with each other. Injuries? Other outside forces? I do feel Archie needs to beg...

ram1980

I'm concerned about his stubbornness sticking with the packline defense when he didn't have the personnel to utilize it. Mix in other defenses to make the other team adjust. He didn't do that once all year. Especially considering he probably knew at least half these players would not be back next ye...

ram1980

This portapalooza nonsense is ruining the college game for this loyal Rhody fan.part of the fun of the game is watching a student athlete grow and improve over his 4 year career. Talk about something spiraling out of control. Don't have the solution, but it is ruining the sport for this old timer. M...

ram1980

Disappointed in the season overall. All I expected was continuous improvement as the season wore on. Let's be honest, we didn't get that . I'm a little worried about Archie's stubbornness in not adapting his defensive philosophy to his personnel. It's ok to play zone once in awhile, especially with ...

ram1980

That 17 point lead melted faster than the snow in my backyard. Not for nothing but these close games aren't good for the ticker as I get older. Hopefully they feel good about themselves going into Saturdays game. Looks like 2 in a row against Davidson according to the announcers tonight. Tighten up ...

No jumping ability or the ability to draw a foul. It's amazing how many shots he's had blocked this year

ram1980

Put Thomas back in. If he fouls out so be it. Carey at the point in a close game Is scary.

ram1980

Not one timeout during this run. Must be waiting for the obligatory timeout after a made bucket..

ram1980

Rory's problem appears to be athleticism. Can he keep up on the defensive end. It appears he has the heart and desire. Has to improve his quickness. If he becomes a consistent threat from behind the arc, he at least can be an important bench piece to provide some instant offense. Here's hoping.

ram1980

Put Rory at the 4 in place of Martin. Supposedly he is a 3 pt shooter. Give him the green light. Can't be worse than Martin that's for sure. And he's a freshman. So if he is the future, better make sure he is by playing him. Edit: Just looked at stats and Rory is shooting 29% on 3pt with 9-31. And ...

Rams played 14 games this season with the end result being by 5 or less points. They lost 9 of those. ~Chris DiSano. Meaning, they were in it for most of this season. Trouble was closing games out. Need that alpha go to guy in close games. Someone who wants the ball in big situations and produces. ...

Booooooooo, putrid, pathetic, embarrassing. From the coach on down. Sitting in parking lot after leaving early which we never do. Haven't read the rest of the posts. Will read them later after a nice cold beer at tilted barn(first time there). hope that's not a disappointment. Blow this up. Need leg...

ram1980

If we had one big that could catch the ball on offense we win. Multiple perfect passes underneath for possible easy buckets muffed by all 3 bigs, especially Tchikou. He literally struggles every time to catch the ball.. By the way moral victories suck. Still a check mark in the loss column. Effort w...

With the way the season's going I'm pretty sure we beat VCU on Wed. Huh!!! This team has had trouble beating the press with Freeman. What's it going to look like without him facing the havoc of VCU. Going to be ugly. I can't believe we are going to see more Thomas. I want more Weston, Stewart and H...

ram1980

The rest of this season needs to be what can Weston, Hutchinson, Stewart and Tchikou be going forward. Forget Harris. That can't really be possible at this point for next year can it? If it looks like these guys can't help in the future tear it down and start over except for Ish (need him to stay) a...

ram1980

He just wasn't willing to conform. From the little things like tucking in his shirt (refs got on him every game for this) to just not being a team player. Too bad. This is definitely on the coaching staff too. They brought the kid in. I doubt he just decided to act the way he did because he was here...

ram1980

Our offense has turned into dribble, dribble, shoot. Where is the passing and motion. I don't get it. We also must lead the country in fouling 3 point shooters and giving up rebounds on missed ft's.. we just don't have enough offensive talent down low

ram1980

Just can't get over the hump.. not a fan of moral victories..

ram1980

We overreact from wins and we overreact from losses. Tonight was one of those games where literally everyone sucked. Everyone. Including the coach. It happens. As long as Carey comes back I still think we can win some games. Comparing us to Loyola is a stretch. They have won one game in the A10. I ...

ram1980

Poor talent is one thing and we have plenty of that. Poor effort is inexcusable. If Carey is out for an extended period of time the rest of this season is going to be torture.

ram1980

Please Archie more portal next year. Find some shooters somewhere, anywhere

Malik can't jump. That's the problem.

Thanks ant Harris.. this roster needs more than 2 incoming freshmen next year. Need us a nice house cleaning. Archie please turn this roster over..

ram1980

Bottom line is he has no feel for the game. There's times to be over the top and there's times to not be.He has no idea what the difference is.

Haven't read any of the thread yet as we just got home. That was worth the long drive in crappy weather. I can say that because my wife does the driving. That was the entertainment I was looking for from this team. More of that please. Dug out of a big hole early and held off Dayton every time they ...

ram1980

My take is they really don't care. The slowness of concessions seems to always be an issue. It's been worse the last couple of games. If you don't have enough help figure out a way to streamline things. Having one person at a register checking ids, giving you a wristband and opening the can for you ...

Are we still having discussions on reported attendance vs actual attendance? People still are confused and angry we report tickets sold instead of ticket scanned?

ram1980

I thought attendance was good considering how poor the product is. Also, when we made our run the noise level was awesome. Unfortunately, as has been the scenario for the most part this year, it didn't help carry them over the hump. Can't wait til the building is rocking again and we return to havin...

If we had Foumena and Bilau this season we would have a few more wins imo. I agree with those who want an impact transfer big for next year. Of course they dont grow on trees lol. I said it before the season, and I'll say it again. I think the twins would have made a great impact under Archie. You ...

Marketing should do a Rhody/ Ant themed game promotion. Something like, the first to find him or can guess his first Rhody game he plays in gets 5 free beers each half.

Got a 3000 piece where's Waldo puzzle for Christmas. If we find Harris we'll let you know and point him towards Kingston in the summer

At least with a Saturday game less traffic both ways, which means less than an hour both ways. That's the positive. The negative remains the same. Our frontcourt is extremely soft. Unfortunately there is no way to fix it this year. Has to be a priority for next year. Say what you want about Stewart ...
