KeaneyBlue - The URI Basketball Forum

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.

We might play better than we did last year. The half court offense will run better with Harris gone. The transition offense won’t be as good without Fatts. I see us as 9th place. For all the comments about him though, Harris played a whopping 292 minutes last year - about 13.9. He would have played...

Virus waves move across the country. Funny how the media is all over Florida when Delta was high but then when dropping like a rock - crickets. Dr Fauci nowhere to be found now regarding Florida DeSantis already declared victory over Covid in his state in May - it went really well for them after th...

…….we are going to be closer to 3rd than 10th…….staying positive…… So, sixth? :) I jest. I don't think this is a team that'll be in serious NCAA consideration, but I do think another year of mostly playing with the same roster, and the addition of El-Amin, probably means they'll be closer to .500, ...

Definitely trending downward though. Absolutely Rhodymob5. Note drop in new cases from Delta Wave nationally in Johns Hopkins graph.

For sure, and I’m not going to get hung up on silly rankings - go prove why you’re the best. That being said we have more traditional bigs which is hard to evaluate in the modern day game. We’ll see where it takes us, controlling the paint is important, but shooting is cool too This is kind of wher...

I didn’t read the Blue Ribbon article itself, but it seems disingenuous to me to consider Lee a front court player. Brajkovic and mennenga are Davidson’s true bigs. Lee had the least 2pt attempts of their starting 5 last year, and second to least rebounds. He’s a good 3 pt shooter who happens to be...

This thread kind of illustrates how nutty recruiting can be. A year ago, URI was hard after him. Ten months ago, DC Rams thought Rutgers had a great shot at him. PC and URI were in a graphic with 28(!) other schools eight months ago, but the Friars didn't even offer him until a month ago. If this wa...

Baseball is different, there rookie league, A, AA, AAA leagues for developmental purposes. Most don't get looped right into the Show. Yes, and? They're still professionals, getting paid at age 17 to 21. They're focusing on their craft, instead of going to class. I don't think college basketball sho...

Lol no way I would play here over a too college program. The fans, the campus, the girls. Forgetaboutit. *Oh yea and a DEGREE after you can’t play anymore Kids are 16/17 signing mid to high six figure deals. Some of the kids aren't even considered bonafide NBA prospects, which is surprising. I have...

I'm fine with this. If players don't have any interest in pursuing four year degrees, there should be options and viable paths for them to become professionals anyway. As a society, we don't care when baseball players, tennis phenoms and golfers skip college. I don't think we should care if basketba...

I don't think it is urgent now. We currently only have 1 spot open, even though there will probably be more. Many recruits will wait for the spring signing period, plus there will always be the transfer portal. At this point, I am not too concerned. "Ahh yes, the spring signing period, that's ...

I started a BBS and then an Internet company on the 90s. Before that there was Compuserve, AOL and the kind. However the first URI basketball board I recall was the old ProJo board. Newspapers had no idea what to do online and the ProJo reached out to me (and other ISPs no doubt) to create partners...

I'm only 37, so maybe someone older can chime in, but... In my youth, we had an IBM PS/2 with a 2400 baud modem. Because we were in South County, practically the only local one was Drop A Line BBS in South Kingstown. (Back then, it still cost money to make long distance calls.) This was probably in ...

Well , not exactly . Wearing a mask after being vaccinated would be more akin to wearing a condom when your partner is on the pill since neither the pill not the vaccine are 100 % effective . So the mask or the condom would be additional insurance against a bad outcome so to speak . Hey Luke!!! It'...

When are they bringing concerts back to Meade? Maybe never? The music touring industry wasn't really thriving outside of metro areas before the pandemic hit. Hard to imagine there are any major bands that want to play Meade Stadium when there is a better venue on the same grounds (Ryan Center) and ...

Since I'm journeying down memory lane today... McLeod is (finally) on the roster for FSU this year. Between the extra year all players got and a redshirt year in junior college, he has three years left - If he uses them all, he would be 25 in his final season.

His name came up in another thread, which made me curious about where he's at by now... He played nine games in 2020-21 for a Serbian team in their A-League, averaging seven minutes per game. So, I assume he'll be on the move again for 2021-22. He's also now 21, so the clock is ticking on him becomi...

A legit cannon and good defensive player, too, unlike when Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon would compile assists.

It's just kind of weird to me that Fordham *wants* to stay in the Atlantic 10 to get the crap kicked out of them most years. Like, if this was a Vanderbilt-in-a-power-conference situation, that would make sense to me. The TV money is so good in that, you take your medicine each year. The Atlantic 10...

If you're vaccinated, you can serve as a carrier for the virus, even if you have zero or minimal symptoms yourself. The masks cut down on the ability to act as a carrier. So the vaccines don't work? But they say vaccinated people won't be affected too bad. The death rate for vaccinated people that ...

I'm not willing to go that far and say that Mike friggin' Glennon is better than Newton. Glennon is like the shitty man's Jeff George, a guy with a big arm that every QB coach thinks he can personally fix or work with. I don't think the supporting talent was all that great in New England in 2020, an...

Signing Newton for one year was a good hedge, if Jones didn't look ready for the job. But it sounds like Jones has been better than Newton in camp anyway, so you might as well make the move now. Might be the end of the road for Newton, unless he's willing to be a back-up for a couple weeks while he ...

Oh, I also forgot to ask in my initial post - Does he remember playing my team in Oozeball one year, and beating the crap out of us? (Okay, not my team specifically, but - I'm pretty sure he and some other basketball players had a squad one year, and got pretty far. I could have sworn he beat us in ...

I don't have any data to back this and the regional aspect of recruiting isn't for all. You are correct, many programs have the budgets to recruit nationally and bring kids in along with their parents but if you think Rhody does, you'd be mistaken. Maybe in basketball but certainly not football. I ...

I think I mentioned it in the other thread, but - What was his mindset his senior year? It looks like he dropped out and didn't play anywhere, and then surfaced in some pro leagues the next year. Was it an academics issue, a family issue, something else? Since that was 15 years ago, I'm assuming he ...

Like most mid-majors, I think URI needs to be seen as a "winning" program or one on the upswing to schedule well. Frankly, who's excited about scheduling a team projected to finish in the 100s in NET - as we are this year - or who finished at #112 - as we did in 2020-21? (NET also probably...

I find Rhody 72 hilarious. Some of the takes crack me up... I'm assuming everyone on here already knows he's a troll. It's the middle of August, so it's amusing with nothing else going on in here... You know, I don't even think he's consciously a troll. I have enough FB friends that there are some ...

Dustin Hellenga. He left before his senior year at URI, which is certainly odd timing, but he was a soulless gunner his first three years - the kind of player that was exhilarating or frustrating to watch, with zero in-between. He was never boring, haha. It looks like he didn't play anywhere his &qu...

I wasn't aware that Thad Matta supposedly struggled to win big games. "Matta led the Ohio State Buckeyes to five Big Ten Conference regular season championships, four Big Ten Tournament titles, two Final Four appearances, and the 2008 NIT Championship. He is the winningest coach in Ohio State ...

NYCT, I'm not really sure what your point is, though. I don't think anyone really deifies Hurley - Ultimately, as a famous coach once said, you are what your record is.

Jersey, you left out Tulsa's record from last year, which was 11-12. I think that's more predictive than what they finished in 2019-20. I don't think this is an especially strong schedule, but I don't think it's as weak as some of the Baron year schedules either. I think if they keep the losses low ...

Not sure what the consensus of this board feels about our last scholarship opening. Many of our top '22 prospects have moved on. The transfer portal has been picked through and at this point doubtful any impact players would be available to us. I still wouldn't mind a grad transfer (preferably a bi...

* The past couple years, he's been playing for teams in Greece, Slovakia and Hungary.

I was on vacation in New England last week for our wedding ceremony - got married in June 2020 in Texas, but couldn't have the proper celebration until July 2021 - and we hit up a couple of places in the Berkshires.

Reminder that Bozeman missed the NCAA tournament his last nine years at Morgan State, and finished under .500 each of his last six years.

And their spelling of schools is wrong. "Johnson and Whales"????
It's a maritime academy, right?
So what’s your point? Because The Players Tournament site spelled it Whales vs Wales means he did or didn’t get mention on the roster accurately

It's a joke.
