One of you twitter savvy folk, check his follow history. Any XU or URI coaches/players? No follows on X players. Mack followed him yesterday. He followed Fatts a few weeks ago and Fatts followed him. On the other hand, he followed a few WVU players and students during his visit there, so,.............

If Ramster, one of our most positive posters here, doesn't feel good about this, that's a bad sign.

Something else I was thinking about. Noah Locke is announcing today. He's a 4* guard from Maryland. He's the #3 ranked prospect in Maryland (J. Harris is #5, B. Adams is #8). He's also the AAU teammate of B.Adams. Locke's final 5 are Florida, Michigan, Ohio State, Xavier and PC. The favorites are Fl...

Billyboy78

The fact that JH made the decision to announce this Friday before he even left for XU, in my mind, bodes well for us. Tells me his mind was already leaning in a particular direction but wanted to see if XU could change his mind. I agree. I thought the same thing. So, the question is, did Xavier cha...

Some guy from InsideMDsports picked Xavier today too.

Billyboy78

I'm guessing Dan and David visit Jermaine tomorrow when they visit Brendan. We will have the last face to face conversation with him.

Billyboy78

TP, Not at all. The talk of the possibility of negative recruiting on this thread just started today regarding Luke Murray. I am simply saying that Murray is not the lead recruiter, Pegues is. Luke Murray, of course, can say all he wants as can our assistant coaches. As I said, Xavier Coaches can s...

Robinson fills up a stat sheet nicely. Obviously he's not going to be the leading scorer, but he gets his rebounds, assists and steals.

And lot of us already have. Now, 'like' the tweets involving us and him and retweet them.

If we crash the boards and rebound we'll run.......I think we'll need to with our relative lack of size......

Dan would like to run after made baskets too.

When we see Brendan Adams on Tuesday, maybe we see Jermaine also. They're only about 45 miles apart.

I'm just looking at it as a fan. Maybe I'm selfish. I enjoy watching them play. I wish they would play 50 games.

Billyboy78

Yes. I don't think it would be wise to just assume we'll win the A10 and therefore not worry about our RPI (and other relevant metrics). Using that logic, should the staff have just scheduled a bunch of cupcakes to try and guarantee an undefeated non-conference and say "well we're expected to ...

Billyboy78

...win the A-10 and all will be well. Of course they don't want all cupcakes for the non-con. Seems like a pretty good/tough enough set they have now...no complaints here... take care of business with it, and the other one or two games won't be an issue. Really, the only thing guaranteed is that, n...

Yes, and it's Tyrique Jones, who was being recuited to URI by Murray until Murray left for Xavier.

Billyboy78

For sure that Adams is ahead of Balanc, has to be If URI takes Balanc then there is no room for Adams I disagree with what Slim says about Balanc, especially about having the biggest upside from among Adams, Harris and Martin. Balanc- freak athlete & NBA athleticism , wired to score, good jump ...

Billyboy78

He's still taking his visit to FGC next week. This is curious. I wonder if it does have something to do with Adams.

Billyboy78

J. Harris is a power forward. Tyrique Jones will be the only player on the roster who plays that position who will still be with the team next year. None of those other guys are power forwards.

Is Balanc visiting this weekend?
Doubtful.

Why? What happened? Is he choosing Quinnipiac?

It seems a good sign that it is next Friday. If it was Sunday night or Monday I would think that would be Xavier. Like several of our recruits have done the day after their Kingston official visit. Thinking positive. This would be huge. Got to like and retweet all the post that mention J Harris and...

They can offer a lot of playing time for bigs though.

This is Cox, isn't it?

Billyboy78

Xavier can offer tons of playing time too. That worries me a little.

Continuance to Oct. 5 issued for #URI assistant coach Ty Boswell. Faces misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest.

Billyboy78

Usually when players do that the coach tells them to take a hike. When local football players in a certain region try it with a certain school it means they obviously aren't interested. The coaches tell them official visit or the offer is no longer committable. I would imagine the same for Maryland...

Billyboy78

Could a 2nd arrest depend on what is revealed in court today? Ty is under oath and has to tell the truth. No janitor stories today.

Billyboy78

I'll be very curious to see how many we get for opening night/banner raising. Do just the season ticket and diehards go to this one or do the casuals show up too? Students should be there big time, I would think.

Billyboy78

You guys keep forgetting Maryland. No, he doesn't have an official scheduled there, but that's because he's been on their campus many times. I wouldn't count them out.

If they are, that's a school were recruiting some of the same players we were. Both Dupree McBrayer and Ahmad Gilbert are sophomores on the current Gophers roster.

This arresting officer isn't a PC fan, is he?

Stats are for losers, as BB would say....just kidding. But every season is different. It's already evident that there is momentum building from last season as record sales in both seasons and mini-plans show. I think beating PC at the RC in a great, loud, sold out atmosphere would add to the momentu...

If season tickets +mini-plans = over 4000, that's a great start. Add individual game sales, walk up sales and students and we're looking at large crowds every game. I hate to say it because it's been debated before, but if we beat PC, ticket sales will go through the roof for the remainder of the s...

Just wondering...Is Jermaine ranked high enough to have been offered any kind of deal from Miami? Or are we talking mostly about 5* recruits?
