Bergen Island is a very coooooool place. :lol: Rhody74, look to the left of the posts, beneath your board name. Has your APPOINTED PLAYER and YOUR NUMBER OF POSTS. By the way, I do sincerely apologize to you and all of the fellow posters for my lack of board decorum. Whatever little time I have, I ...

For the record: I never wrote that Matthews would start from Day One. I did, however, state this: "What will happen if E.C. Matthews wins the Dan Hurley Practice Competition and is given the responsibility of running the team, BECAUSE IT IS A NECESSITY?!?!?!?" Thank you, and I will go to B...

bressler3south

By the way, Rhody74, your statement was obvious. The gist of the thread was how hard Matthews works. I thanked Billyboy78 for the video-link. So, when I read the subsequent posts from SeanMc94, you and Ace, I responded. I'll pardon myself to you, Rhody74, and Seanmc94, too, before he writes about my...

Aye, Aye….

WHO'S COUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bressler3south

Pardon me, Ace, just giving you top-billing…Won't happen again, can promise you that. How's this: As was written previously, just stringing together the three previous statements: "starting from day one is a tall order for a true frosh." Yeah, okay….So? (PCSean.) "Especially at the po...

BING! BANG! BOOM! WOW!!!!!!! The Three Amigas From On High Have Spoken…. Hey, Three Amigas: What will happen if E.C. Matthews wins the Dan Hurley Practice Competition and is given the responsibility of running the team, BECAUSE IT IS A NECESSITY?!?!?!? Although Mike Powell improved tremendously duri...

Bryant is Bryant. PC is PC. Brown is Brown. RIC is RIC. Salve is Salve. Roger Williams is Roger Williams. If everyone were Division I would URI be obligated to play each school????? Get real. Yeah, in a perfect world, say during the '50's or '60's or very early '70's it would be great. The Yankee Co...

The Atlantic City venue is a DUMP!!!!!!!! Leaky roof, cavernous, out-dated, outmoded…..It's only a leftover set for "Boardwalk Empire!!!!" The only place that had max-crowds, plenty of all-around enthusiasm, and any resemblance to college basketball at its best is when the A-10 tourney was...

Rhodymob05: What-the-frap are you writing about?!? "I would pass on this kid, I know hes skilled and his family has history but his HEIGHT will surely be a problem no matter how good . Unless hes DeJuan Blair, He wont do well in a high major school. Maybe he can prove me wrong but "over th...

bressler3south

E.C. Matthews is a worker. E.C. Matthews is a Dan Hurley recruit. E.C. Matthews is a URI Ram. Awesome…..Thanks for the link, Billyboy78!!!

bressler3south

He had the one-on-one treatment with Dan Hurley. Went with Tubby Smith, the man who first nabbed him. Maybe Foster saw that he wouldn't get PT, maybe he couldn't make the commitment, MAYBE FOSTER DIDN'T GET THE FINAL OFFER TO SIGN…..ANYONE KNOW FOR SURE?????

bressler3south

Point guard, point guard, point guard. Who is the Fwiahs point guard???? Realistically asking……You know, replacing Vincent Council, all-time assists leader. I Dunnnnnnnnnnnno!

(That board seems to have an answer for everything.)

bressler3south

Per a Source: Get a clue! This EXACTLY what that nonsense was about "professionals and sources and crystal ball-gazers and their freakin' mothers-in-law!!!!" NO ONE KNOWS UNTIL TYHE HEAD COACH, DAN HURLEY, AND THE PROSPECTIVE RECRUIT AND HIS PARENTS AND/OR GUARDIANS SEAL THE FRAPPIN' DEAL!...

bressler3south

Nicely done, alum!

bressler3south

Per a Source: Go ask Alex Kline….

bressler3south

Ha-ha, True Point. Ha-ha-a-ha-ha.
YOU sounded like an effin' PeeCee schill describing URI.
Either that or you went to grad school in the City, because you followed some broad who went to Siena who eventually dumped you at some rest stop 30 miles from the Siena campus.

bressler3south

"roles on our team next year will be defined by practice and who wants to win in practice." One might be the most talented player around, but doesn't produce. He won't be playing at URI. Then again, if you produce for URI's Coach Dan Hurley, YOU'RE TALENTED AND YOU ARE A WINNER!!!! P.S. Ha...

bressler3south

"…substance over style" Ie., COMPETITION, COMPETITION, COMPETITION!!!!!!!!

bressler3south

No one is hating anything. The Mary Kline Classic is fantastic, and he has a great following by players. Alex Kline is a remarkable young man. However, not everything is attributable: "…per a source." What source? Another publication? His own publisher? Sam the Ram??? I will add, however, ...

bressler3south

"The validity of the professionals' reports on recruiting and players' abilities is a separate issue from this idea of offers." Not all of the time….Look at Alex Kline's nonsense. Everybody-and-his-brother is "per" and Kline is a "professional source." (A well-paid one...

bressler3south

This is a good move by the A-10 and a smart move by Davidson. A great academic institution, a coach who has a national reputation as knowledgeable, runs a clean program, and gets the most out of his players. Brad Stevens before Brad Stevens. This certainly broadens their recruiting-base. This is goo...

bressler3south

With all sincerity, are these expectations or hopes????

bressler3south

Yeah, stag….

bressler3south

How so, Reef????

bressler3south

Good for him…..and GREAT FOR HUGGINS! From the moment Holton signed, sooner or later, he'll have another disgruntled nimrod and his negative act on television.

bressler3south

Spectacular doesn't mean you're successful. Helping your team win, getting better, filling up the stat sheet with positives game-after-game, now that's spectacular! (AND -- JUST IMAGINE HOW MUCH MORE BC JR. WILL IMPROVE WITH COACHES WHO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING!)

bressler3south

Characteristics…not the exact same game. Around the rim, following-up shots, creating driving lane space. Also, Sly was not close to a "pure shooter" until he was a junior in college, having a 90%+ consistency rate on the mechanics of that "set-shot jumper" of his…When he measure...

bressler3south

Watching him around the basket and driving the lane….left-handed…and I did see him jr./sr. years in high school…..he has a lot of characteristics of Sylvester "Sly" Williams….

bressler3south

If this young man, with solid guidance from his family, wants to go to URI -- and Coach Dan Hurley wants him and has a plan for him -- THEN BRING HIM IN!!!!!!! THE MORE THE MERRIER!!! ALL FOR ONE, AND ONE FOR ALL!!! COMPETITION, COMPETITION,COMPETITION -- COMPETITION FOR PLAYING TIME, COMPETITION FO...

bressler3south

This young man will not want to sit out a year. He's eligible to play high school ball at the very least. His father, on the other hand, may have lots of other ideas…..

bressler3south

In the immortal words of Mariano Duncan: "We play, we win." In the words of any ballplayer who has any belief in his game and his teammates anywhere in the world, especially the City: "We take on all comers. Winners. Losers sit." (No wonder Rhode Island is the second mentally sic...

bressler3south

Remember the days when people dropped nickels and then dimes in a telephone????? Wrote letters???? Put a little thought into their comments???? This has turned into the most abused "party line" of all-effin'-time!!!!!

bressler3south

By the way: Nearly 5,000 views ABOUT THIS?!?!?!!?!? 160 replies?!?!?!?!!??!? Can't wait for pre-Italy practices!!!!!!

bressler3south

Hey, SeanMc86….Don't you have some automotive work to take care of at Larry Ketvertis Hall or something??? Either that or go keep playing with yourself in private.
P.S. J.H. reminds you to turn off your gadget….

P.P.S. That's Holton, Not Hare.

bressler3south

Good observation, Ace….And I'd rather have a woman in front of me at age …..oh, my apologies….

bressler3south

Uhhhhhhhh, Dan Hurley…..Is that you? Are you still here??? Could you give Rhody72 a call and REMIND HIM THAT TOM CARMODY HAS MOVED ON!!!!!!!! Thanks.

bressler3south

No, he corrected himself, etc., If Dan and Preston are meeting with him and Foster, this could be one of the big pushes….

bressler3south

No, Brandon Willaby, is an assistant coach at some small-time school and an AAU guy. He Twittered that he'd had "Duke" on his mind and wrote Bobby, but meant Dan. There's also an interesting article about "Little-Little Ricky" running off Foster and other Tubby Smith recruits. Th...

Thanks, Rod!!! After re-reading my post, I wanted to pop a few Valium, but there weren't any by my bedside…..NURSE!!! NURSE!!!!

bressler3south

:D "FAMILY, TEAM, URI, 'OUR PROGRAM,' RAH-RAH-RAH!!!!!!!!!!" Well, if that's the case and coaches want to be known as MEN who are honest, kept their word, well, you don't run off people, etc., so some forum bloggers feel better about themselves asap!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT URI TO BECOME THE PR...

bressler3south

As in, "Get the hell outta here." Not exactly the way to run a program….RIFan makes it sound like he's on the coaching staff…or a damned good fisherman!

bressler3south

To Er is Human; to forgive is to forget……..Hope he doesn't end up torching the Rams someday…..

bressler3south

Yes, Mergin was a transfer and a solid contributor. Also, I believe there was a profile for Jaren Sina when people speculated about his recruitment to URI, then verballed to Alabama.

bressler3south

Thirty days from now, believe me, he'll find something wrong with his decision, and try and back out of this one……...

bressler3south

Ooooooh, El Diablow: E.C. Matthews led his team to the Michigan State Championship, a team which had 3 Division I signees, Second, if you watch one of the video reports about the team's quest for aforementioned hardware, one "high school superstar" yaks about himself, while Matthews talks ...
