Not sure what the benefit to moving to the AAC would be . With the extensive travel that would be required I think they would be crazy to do such a thing unless thdy know something else is going down. If they were a football school that would be another thing.

woodennickel1

Army joining the AAC is not good for independents UConn and UMass. League membership means less OOC games for Army. They, as an independent, were recently playing the fairly close by UConn and UMass nearly every season. That will likely be no more given a large portion of their schedule will be res...

This may escalate the need for the Big East to add a twelfth team. Probably either Dayton or St Louis.

He actually improved in his second year at GM with some key injuries down the stretch. Believe he won twenty games and beat a good Auburn team on the road. You are correct that he is a question mark but I feel very confident he will be much more successful then Cox. He will certainly be thrown right...

Once again, a PC fan thinking they're Duke, Kentucky , Kansas or UConn. No just a PC fan that wants to see his team try to compete at the highest level. Playing URI twice is net suicide. And playing Merrimack, Stonehill, St. Peter's, Columbia, UNH, Fairleigh Dickinson is NET heaven, and not to ment...

DePaul is a conference opponent that we have no choice but to play twice.

He is uncommitted. Hearing there’s academic issues. New Mexico State is recruiting him I believe.

Thanks, thought it was strange he had not committed by now.

Anyone know where this kid ended up transferring?

woodennickel1

Multiple posters on this forum kinda laughed at me when I suggested we should be in on Records 4 years ago. Cox clearly was out on Rhode Island talent. Looks like we got another chance? Good choice for packline style of play. I saw him play, and he's been better at a low DI level than I thought he ...

Count me in the camp that no-way Cooley leaves for Georgetown. Georgetown owes Ewing around $15M (possibly negotiate an $11M buyout). They aren't writing Cooley a blank check to come, and doubtful he would regardless. Cost of living in DC is like twice what it is here. They don’t have a fancy pract...

Could Archie change his philosophy? Instead of being young and growing old together, maybe now it's get old immediately? Think Archie is a really good coach but don't agree with him at all as far as not taking 5th years. You add two 5th year bigs to Leggett and Cary they are competing at the top of...

woodennickel1

Cooley played a weak OOC schedule as you said. Only 3 games were tough and PC lost all 3 of them. The other games were against teams with NETs in the 200's and 300's Cooley has said in the recent past that PC struggles to get good teams to play them. Can't get good OOC teams to the AMP. Miami NET 2...

Smart made Kolek a priority as soon as he hit the portal and supposedly they hit it off. Doubt it would have mattered. Have to give Smart credit.

Routinely getting annual multiple NCAA bids from the A-10 with the present 68 team field would mean taking away at large bids from the power conferences. They will not allow that. A big part of the reason why the A-10 is getting less teams is because these power leagues have rigged the system in th...

woodennickel1

I think it was 2014 the A10 had 6 teams in field . It has been steadily down hill since then. A lot of the metrics favor the p6 teams I get that but it does not seem ro be hurting the mountain west who will most likely have five teams in field. I personally dont think Mcglade has done a good job

Defense is definitely the weak spot in ihis game. PC takes everything to the basket where as Marquette a much more finesse team and three point shooting team.

woodennickel1

Nah. It’s more like people make Cooley out to be a God, especially the media. Like how “PC doesn’t need to play URI” from media used to justify Cooley dropping the URI game, than Cooley laughably signing up to play FDU in our place. #WhoDucken. You can say what you want about Cooley but when he's b...

Gonzaga will not go to the Pac12 because of football....my error. They will not go to the BE. I just don't see it. The traveling for every away game. Their fans will not accept that at all ACC is very strong. It is going nowhere. Some rumors have ACC losing Clemson, Florida State ,Miami and possibl...

woodennickel1

I hear you, but I think you generalize too much. What specific schools in the ACC and the remnants of the B12 and PAC12 would be candidates for a move to the BE you suggest? Just the effort required to find a home for their football program is a daunting task for any such school. On your second poi...

woodennickel1

Ob, I think initially, the NBE will look for opportunities with the upper tier, well branded, mbb programs that are left out of the P2 and will be checking out of the football arms race at the highest level. If that doesn’t work, then I think they look at selected A10 schools and other similar leve...

I may be an outlier here but it would be nice to see upgrades to the other sports facilities as well. The soccer team doesn’t have a press box or restroom facilities, our D1 outdoor track team doesn’t have a track (practices at a high school) and I won’t mention the albatross at Meade Stadium. A pr...

I am sure Cooley will find some bigs in the portal. He supposedly is in very good shape with some high school bigs and I know he wants to get to point where he only uses the portal to plug holes and get older players if needed. Still for '22 or '23? Sometimes risky to try and get a true freshman to...

woodennickel1

How about Castro (6'10") who also redshirted last season as a freshman. He was a highly ranked recruit out of NJ. They expect big things from him but he will be only front court player left after next season. I am sure Cooley will find some bigs in the portal. He supposedly is in very good sha...

Didn’t play at all Freshman year then he gets brizzed to make space on the roster same day a guy is added?

Hopkins might turn out to be a great addition for pc, but why is it that every time anyone is signed off the portal the coach is deemed to be crushing it? I know he was highly rated as a prep and we know how rankings can sometimes work, but here is a guy that couldn't get on the floor for Kentucky ...

PC has truly become Transfer U. Breed is probably the only player recruited out of high school that will be in PC’s 7-8 man rotation next year. Why would you go to PC as a Fr? There are over a thousand players that will pass thru the portal b4 all said and done. PC is simply taking advantage of the...

I have a feeling CamRams that most Rhody fans would prefer to keep them with a new staff, if that's how it plays out. Wouldn't it be ironic if they both end up transferring to another A10 team. If that happens you definitely hired the wrong coach. You will never go anywhere with those two. I saw al...
