You know, if anyone from URI is drafted,
my money is on Jared Terrell.
He is our best player, period.
He plays both ends of the floor, and he plays with
attitude.
Super win, especially without our center, and
at was was practically a home game for Seton Hall.

rodfromcranston

Great play so far!
Love Terrell. 18 points. Robinson adding 10 points.
Seton Hall is tough inside, but probably
every team will be a challenge up front.
Laysard played what? 10 seconds? 3 fouls!
Gotta get something out of him, the sooner, the better.

rodfromcranston

Pretty sure Carr was still on staff in May.

rodfromcranston

This from 6 months ago. You send Jim Carr,(yawn!) while other schools sent their head coaches. Kid probably felt he wasn't a priority for URI. 331 posts and seven pages. What is being tapped danced around is, what I wrote on page one. If this player was such a priority, you put your best foot forwar...

rodfromcranston

Tough news.
As BAR said, we have depth at guard and Terrell
does well when EC is out
I hope Dan doesn't do his hang-dog act, like he
did a couple of years ago.
As the leader, his attitude effects the players.
Belichick and Brad Stevens don't mourn their lost
players, they just go to Plan B, and win.

rodfromcranston

Still wondering why Dowtin played 34 minutes, while everyone and his mother,was yo-yoing in and out of the game, all night? Speaking of Seton Hall, the idea of Delgado against our frontline, is a scary one. Big, tough, old school, post player. Hurley obviously has zero faith in Laysard and Tertsea. ...

rodfromcranston

EC Matthews, blah,blah, blah....
Did these bozos once say that Terrell had
18 second half points?
44 free throws for Nevada! It's like
playing St. Joe's in Philly.
Those two flings from 3 that Nevada threw in were
killers.

rodfromcranston

Lot of spirit shown to make a game of this.
Still, how many layups is Nevada going to get?
Some back breakers just as we tied or within two.

rodfromcranston

Awful interior defense and offense. Four free throws to thirteen for Nevada. Jarvis Garrett is the best Ram on the floor, so far. Doesn't seem like there's much chemistry on offense with players being run in and out all the time. Terrell seems a no show, and EC is getting shut down. Surprised Nevada...

rodfromcranston

Thanks, Runnin Ram, Peter, and RIFan!
Here's hoping the refs put their whistles in their pockets,
Monday night.

rodfromcranston · Re: 11/13 | Nevada Wolf Pack | 11:30PM (ESPNU) Thanks, ECR,HRSTRAT,and CT!

Thanks, ECR,HRSTRAT,and CT!

rodfromcranston

Thanks '85!
My daughter got me a mini-package with the PC game included.
Guess, Blue Man helped her figure the seating.
She bought one for herself, so she can drive me to URI.
So, a much thinner version of me, will be returning to
The Ryan Center.
I'll be in Section 306, above where I used to sit.

rodfromcranston

I'm pretty sure Jordan Caroline is their best player,
as he lead them in scoring and rebounds on a pretty
successful team, last season.
Pegging a player as the best, because he was the leading
scorer in the opening game is silly.

rodfromcranston

Wow! Those guards are as big as our center!
6'7" guard, who averaged 9.0 rebounds!
Scary.

rodfromcranston

Go Rhody site says A-10 Network has the stream.
Clicked on "Full Schedule" and last year's popped up.

rodfromcranston

Really sad story of someone so obsessed with his
image and career, that he left wives and children to
pursue it.
Fascinating piece by ESPN, in any case.
Worth watching, even if you aren't a wrestling fan.

rodfromcranston

RR2 taking shots at Neil? Neil is an icon on KB, not some self serving guy dropping F bombs in tweets. Still trying to figure out how Dan is a "legend". Yes, I had info that I said I had, but it was of a specific nature, not BIG NEWS COMING. I also shared whatever information with those I ...

rodfromcranston

So, why even say you have something and not be willing to share it? If sources are a problem, then just STFU, instead of this childish game of,"I know something that you don't". Hell, my granddaughters do that, but they're 7 and 9 years old. BTW, I know the unknown soldier and you guys don...

rodfromcranston

Reminds me of the Orange Moron, who teases people to, "wait and see", or "you'll find out later". Trying to build up suspense for no reason, other than, "Look at me! I know something that you don't! NYA! NYA!" Trying to act like life is a reality show, and everyone is p...

rodfromcranston

As I'[ve said for years, and mentioned to Thorr a few times,
how about numbering the lot sections, so people can more
easily find their cars?

rodfromcranston

STUPID trade!
Garppalo is very talented.
Why trade him for a draft choice, when the need help on defense>
Does Belichick reall think Brady can play forever?

Oh, and what the hell does this have to do with Rhody Basektball???

rodfromcranston

"Silly to hear someone defend hockey and criticize soccer, especially someone who listed as a selling point for soccer that it's big internationally." Wow! My point was that YOU said hockey was irrelevant. That's why I brought up it's international interest. Duh. Hey, if you love watching ...

rodfromcranston

Soccer is as boring as watching paint dry.
Never got why people riot over this stuff.
Must be the booze.

rodfromcranston

If I am correct that the Stanley Cup is hockey then I can say it is at best irrelevant. Just an asinine statement. Pretending you don't know what the Stanley Cup is, makes you look uniformed on a tRUMPian scale. Just because you don't like hockey, doesn't make the Stanley Cup irrelevant. Hockey is ...

rodfromcranston

Not a fan of Koch.
He seems to carry Dan's water, with his
constant chiding us about attendance.
Nobody is asking for an embeded house man.
Just report the facts, and leave opinions out
of it.

rodfromcranston

It's amazing that people in the newer generation,
can't express themselves without vulgarity.
Rude, crude and lewd.

Bobby Dalbec was considered by many, to be the top power hitting prospect in the Sox system. 6'4" 225lbs. bats right handed.22 years old. From Arizona State, where he played 3rd base, 1st base, and relief pitcher. Had a great season in 2016. Hit .386 with a 1.101 OPS. Unfortunately, a significa...

rodfromcranston

6'8" 155lbs.?????
Is that a misprint?
One of my dogs weighs more than that.

rodfromcranston

Remember Mr. Clutch? He's in Johnston, now.

rodfromcranston

So, tonight, the great Max Scherzer gets batted around on in relief. There aren't many Madison Bumgarners, who become Supermen in the clutch. So many big time pitchers getting rocked in these playoffs. Clayton Kershaw is widely regarded as the best pitcher in baseball, hyped as being better than San...

rodfromcranston

So, tell us where Manuel Margot was going to play on the Red Sox? Again for those who don't get trading prospects for proven talent: Cliff Lee was traded for 13 "prospects" during his career. Most were the trading team's top or near the top prospects. Not ONE of those highly touted prospec...

rodfromcranston

How can anyone try to blame the Sox problems on Dave Dombrowski? He inherited a shit show from Cherington-Lucciano. Sandoval,Ramirez,Pedroia and Porcello, all with ridiculous contracts. A manager who wasn't fired, because he had cancer. What he did was trade for a top reliever, and two starting pitc...

rodfromcranston

Dustin Pedroia has become a real problem. He's breaking down and he has FIVE more years on his contract. Plus, a big ego. How will he adjust to less playing time? His playoff performance was putrid, and Farrell batting him in leadoff was equally bad. Lots of bad contracts, stifling revamping a roste...

rodfromcranston

Did anyone see, where media darling Aaron Judge struck out a record 16 times in the Cleveland series, hitting .059? That's more than Tony Gwynn K'd in an entire season! Maybe Judge can loan himself to a wind farm, with all his gigantic swing and misses? If he gets MVP over Altuve, Bob Mueller should...

rodfromcranston

Disagree PRT.
Tyrese is a knock down shooter who can make them with people
in his face.
Something we haven't had in the Hurley era.
Kid's going to be a star.

rodfromcranston

Not a big deal.
Harris probably read the tea leaves, when
Adams signed.
Good luck to him, but if we had to lose any of the
five verbals, it was him.
Staff can go to "best player available" or sit and wait for the
torrent of transfers to come very soon.

rodfromcranston

Dave Dombrowski was told by John Henry
not to go over the luxury tax threshhold.
That is pretty widely known.
I for one am glad Lucciano and Cherinton are gone.

rodfromcranston

It's always a great trade if you get what you need.

rodfromcranston

So what? The core didn't win. In a year of mad homers all over MLB, the Sox were dead last in HRs. I've never heard a peep about Stanton being a problem. As for injuries, he got hit in the face with a fastball, causing his longest time on the DL. I doubt it was a fault of his body failing him. It re...

rodfromcranston

So, how many great years did Detroit get from Cabrera, Kinsler, both Martinez,
Verlander, Sherzer et al?
What kind of shitpile would Detroit have been over those years, without those players?

rodfromcranston

So, what do you suggest?
Shoot the pitching staff?
There are two Cy Young winners, a king of strikeouts,
supposedly the best closer in the game on staff.
Yet, you go on about a guy who may never pitch in MLB.

rodfromcranston

Martinez is three years older than Stanton. NESN's ratings are way down. Stanton puts eyes on NESN. Stanton's WAR is 7.1, to Martinez 4.1. He is the premier home run hitter in the game, while playing in a big ballpark, and not in a great lineup. Martinez benefited from playing where the ball flies o...

rodfromcranston

Trading prospects for proven talent, like Sale and Kimbrell, is a no brainer. In his career, Cliff Lee was traded for a total of 13 prospects, most highly rated. Not ONE of those prospects ever made any impact in MLB. Prospects are suspects until proven otherwise. The list of highly rated busts are ...

rodfromcranston

I wonder it Devers winds up at 1st base? He's a butcher at 3rd. So, is anyone really an"untouchable"? Dave Dombrowki inherited some really bad contracts from Cherington. Hanley, Sandoval, Porcello, and Pedroia. That's 68 million for under performers. Add Price to the list, and it's 98 mill...

rodfromcranston

SPG, I'm not getting your post at all. Like any one of us wouldn't give anything to be Gonzaga? So, they play in Spokane. It's as big as Providence. We play in Kingston. A tiny town. So, what? Archie Miller just got the Indy job. so he's not successful before one minute is played? Don't understand w...

Ha!
Love it!
A complete team recruited by early October!
Now that is unheard of in Kingston.
Adams is supposed to be quite a talent.
Welcome to the Rhody Rams!

Silk Owens came in with Garrick. Kenny Green and John Evans came the following season. 1962 saw Steve Chubin, Denny McGovern and Frank Nightingale. Two career 20 points a game scorers and a 3 year starting center. As BAR said, the class size makes this cycle potentially the best in modern times. How...

The Red Sox are being exposed in the Astros series. The vaunted starting pitching,look like batting machines. The lineup is weak. The Astros have a solid-great lineup, top- to bottom, with tons of power. The Sox have an injured Mookie Betts, and a bunch of streaky singles hitters. Last in AL in home...

"Even my old buddy (you know who) is happy with this development........"

If pus troll bothered to read, (maybe he can't comprehend?)
I've been very happy with every recruit who verbaled so far.
Guess it doesn't fit in his mini mind.
Get a life.

rodfromcranston

Agree Blueram.
Nobody is God, but God.
Some of us had doubts about Dan's ability to adapt
outside his bailiwick.
He has answered that positively.
Now this obscenely titled thread needs to disappear.
