I would expect one of the Freshmen to separate themselves and become a big component to this years team. I also think we'll redshirt Tertsea which would be a valuable year for him to work on his game and become a viable big off the bench next season.

CT Rhody

We have no schollies available this year..

CT Rhody

I would wait another 15 years just to make sure this is real!

CT Rhody

The pricing has significantly increased for the packages. I guess when you want a top 25 team then you have to pay for it. The season ticket sales are back to where they were from the 07-08 season, apparently that has been the highest they have been in the last ten years.

CT Rhody

Great breakdown Ramster, love reading your stuff..

CT Rhody

I'm guessing they gave Marshall a raise in an effort to hold onto him. Boswell was rumored to be hired as an asst coach when they hired ARD. He potentially could help with Expressions players looking to transfer. Who is a past Expression player potentially looking to transfer that would fit into ou...

CT Rhody

This explains why they stopped recruiting Samuels. They can't recruit an expression player two years before and after the hire and I'm sure this has been in the works for a while knowing JT is a Junior this year making it two years since enrollment.

CT Rhody

The three game pack is Umass, Dayton, and VCU and starts at $49!

CT Rhody

Just for perspective, EC was rated an 80 on ESPN and Hassan a 77. The highest rated kid in our 2016 class is a 77. Dowtin was an 76. Russell is an 79 for perspective so according to ESPN, this is a solid get for us. All the hype about PC's two front court players they signed, they are both 80's.

CT Rhody

Interesting tib bit on the last scholly available. A high end transfer would be a good way to get a higher end talent that we might otherwise would be able to land out of HS. Considering we have all 13 players available for this year, you would think one of the front court players will be red shirti...

CT Rhody

Agreed that this is the year to prove all the hype true but preseason top 25 certainly can't hurt recruiting that's for sure.

CT Rhody

Being preseason top 25 apparently is already paying off..

CT Rhody

Boom to URI!!

Why do you say that?

CT Rhody

I wonder how much of a home court we will truly have. Duke travels real well and all the schools received some sort of allotment of tickets. Hopefully Rhody fans are snapping up tickets quickly when they went on sale. I just reviewed the ticket master allotment and there are still a ton of tickets l...

CT Rhody

We are now the favorite for him with another analyst changing his prediction to URI.

CT Rhody

Corey Evans on Twitter said his prediction has both inside knowledge and an educated guess behind it for whatever that's worth.

CT Rhody

We are on the board at 247 sports with Russell. National writter Corey Evans has us being the pick tomorrow night.

Word on the Lasalle board is "the word on the street is that it's URI". Can't figure out what that is based on though so it could be nothing. Good to see regardless.

CT Rhody

Nah no meltdown, we have been through this enough to understand that you can never reason where a 18 year old wants to spend his next four years. Hopefully this works out for us though.

CT Rhody

Hopefully they can land him. Is he the only official visit that we have hosted this year?

CT Rhody

There are only 37 or so D1 programs that have not announced their schedule yet. I wonder how many of those that have are still missing a game like we are. I can't imagine going into a season and not fill your allotment of games possible, seems like such a missed opportunity and missed revenue potent...

CT Rhody

Do we have any more player visits lined up that we know about?

CT Rhody

I agree with the marketing leaving something to be desired. Not sure why that hasn't been improved yet. KMac tweeted today that the game isn't on national TV and is being picked up by some Fox affiliates so I'm sure more info will come out shortly. Cooley seems like a different guy out of season the...

CT Rhody

Good interview, looks like the first 6 have certainly separated themselves from the rest. All juniors and seniors was certainly a strong point he made sure to highlight.

CT Rhody

When is Mohegans new hotel going to be open?

CT Rhody

Looks like no commitment on this trip, never a good sign but doesn't mean it's over either obviously. I know we only have two available slots but this class has been really quite from a URI perspective.

CT Rhody

Hate how the Journal always list PC first. Their fans must be pissed to see the Journal make a big deal about Pitino though lol.

CT Rhody

Any sightings or word how the visit is going?

CT Rhody

I think it's sure to sell out, especially on Sunday.

CT Rhody

I think Mohegan is the best place that I've ever been to watch a game. The casino itself has lots of bars and restaurants which just adds to it and the arena is great, not a bad seat in the house.

CT Rhody

Same here, my $25 tickets turned into $35 but percentage wise that's less then yours! Ha

CT Rhody

So Umass mentioned which turned into an article that they are "close" to securing a four game series with Uconn. One in Storrs, Amherst, Hartford, and potentially Boston. And yet Uconn doesn't want to even call us back, I don't get it. UMass helped make a UConn football series with BC pos...

Interesting that their are better seats available today then there were during the presale.. The $10 corner seats first few rows second tier are a great deal. Hopefully the college students see those and scoop them up.

CT Rhody

Just booked my tickets for the game, all eleven tickets in all. Trying to get some people to become URI fans! There wasn't much selection left, I'm at midcourt but 3rd and 2nd last rows in the arena and that's the best I could get.

CT Rhody

I just realized if you have a citi card then you can take part of the pre sale that's going on now. I'm buying my tickets tonight. Not many seats left if what is showing as open is all that is left.

CT Rhody

Tickets go on sale Sept 9th, I'm trying to figure out pricing for both days. Low end appear to be $10 and $25 but I think that's for each day. Does anybody know for sure?

CT Rhody

I like how Kmac says that Swidder or however his name is spelled is a priority for PC. He is practically a PC boaster. He could be a priority for us as well but still wouldn't mention it.

CT Rhody

2-0 now!

CT Rhody

Could be a case where we prioritized players we thought we had a higher rate of success of landing. You can't actively recruit everybody.

CT Rhody

CT Rhody

Field turf is the wrong way to go for soccer, URI keeping the grass should substantial help recruiting if more teams continue to go with field turf.

CT Rhody

Great win last night!

CT Rhody

There is gain for Big East teams to play A-10's teams, just not much to play Rhode Island with Providence being so close and us not being in a fertile recruiting area.

100% correct

CT Rhody

Even with Villanova is coming off a national championship, they still don't play in a power 5 conference. I think they have lost something like 5 conference games in 3 years so he isn't picking them due to the strength of their conference.

CT Rhody

Honestly, I don't know why the conference can't impose minimum investment requirements on teams. I don't know how it would be implemented, but like Fordham for example, Rose Hill seats 3,200. It would qualify as a very nice high school gym. LaSalle, they play at a 4K arena, again a glorified high s...

Mlaprey - Any potential for a series with UConn down the road? Or any other CT based schools? Sorry - missed the second part of the question...yes, absolutely. We spoke with every DI school in the Nutmeg State, with varying degrees of interest. Was very close on one game - but we ended up going wit...
