https://twitter.com/IAmElite_/status/273591137674088448 Nice! I'm curious to see where he is scoring his points. We know he can get to the rim and finish strong. The key to him becoming a good SF in college is developing that outside shot. That's what I'm looking at in his box scores. In his 1st ga...

The wilt #, somewhere+/- 2000, I can vouch for 3 that I saw go in and out of Wilts hotel room in the hotel adjacent to the old Boston Garden.This was during a March weekend back in the day(1962) when there was a New England high school basketball tourney held in the Garden.

I don't even like seeing him at our games. You know he doesn't give a crap about us. I have told him he is being unprofessional when tweeting his obvious love for PC and the BE.

Billyboy78

Nope! I was talking about the guy who once got 55, yes 55 rebounds on the narrator. Watch it and listen to Russell, and the wonderment in his voice, as he said, "Wilt could accomplish anything he wanted on a basketball court." When he had good teams around him, his teams at Philly and LA ...

Anybody wanting to follow Hassan's senior season, here's a link.

I think some of us confusing the PA guy and the guy who throws the T-shirts. Personally, I don't like either one of them.

Billyboy78

Guys, I'd like to first say thanks for your replies regarding Mike Jr. Good or bad now and moving forward I understand you all better and maybe you all understand me a little as well. I'd also like to say that by no means are me and the folks here that support Mike looking for sympathy. Mike is on ...

Time to start showing support for the kids' hard work and fill these student sections up. Check out this really nice T-shirt for the 1st 1000 students!!

Highest 3pt FG total since Jimmy Baron drained 8 vs. Duquesne (March 12, 2009). Akeem Richmond put down 7 threes vs vs. Lafayette (Dec. 22, 2010). Also, first Rhody player to score 33 since Delroy James vs. Drexel (Nov. 24, 2010). Stats courtesy URI Athletics Communications Dept. Didn't Jamal score...

At least he's not saying "that's a tf green travel" or "that's a dunkin dunk!" - That stuff is amateur hour. I can understand the need for that type of revenue generating element. I think the Athletic Development group are managing that aspect of sponsored in-game stuff carefull...

Billyboy78

I'd like to know why Kendall Pollard didn't come to Rhody. I'm guessing Mr. Powell knows him or certainly knows of him.....I'm sort of kidding, but if Mr. Powell has any insight, I'd sure like to know.

Billyboy78

The PA guy we have now makes me cringe. That's about the only nice thing I can say about that.

Yes, Chris did the exhibition game with Steve and was great, I thought.

Billyboy78

I still think #1 priority for recruiting is a shooter, someone like Severe, who can back up Munford as a frosh and come in and start as a sophomore. The kid who intrigues me is Cullen Russo, the kid from Minnesota. He's 6"9" and can play the 2,3 or 4 as a backup for a year and maybe start ...

Billyboy78

Any criticism of Mike's game, or any player's for that matter, has nothing to do with Mike as a person. I have not had the pleasure of meeting Mike, but anyone who has says he is a great kid. You have a lot to be proud of, Mr. Powell. With an enormous talent like EC Matthews coming next year, a kid ...

Billyboy78

A week or so ago, Hurley was quoted, regarding recruiting on what they were looking for, a shooter and "the best available big man his staff can track down."...Is it possible this might have lit a fire under Jordan? We heard Hurley mention Jordan's playing time relating to his work in prac...

I've said it before, if we're going to win, we have to have at least 2 of the 3 Ms have a good night. Tonight it was one with a great night (33), one with a very good night (19) and one with a decent night(13). Result:W....the numbers might be inflated a bit with 2 extra overtimes and I know there's...

One of the nice features of a Top Scorer Contest is that at any time in the season you can check to see which poster is in the lead. So in that spirit, after each five or 6 games I will post URI's top scorers and who is leading in the contest. The three top URI scorers are: Xavier Munford - 17.00 p...

Billyboy78

I just mentioned that in my email to Thorr. Making fun of the guy's name was wayyyyy over the top. We don't need a comedy routine during a basketball game. Bellowing for the crowd to make noise is not going to work. I'm 63 years old, and I stand and make lots of racket, but those octagenarians in t...

Billyboy78

The people under the basket said the first shot hit the rim, so the clock shot should have reset to 35.

Billyboy78

Regarding the 3 pointer near the end of regulation, Hurley said in today's paper, "We had a defensive meltdown at the end of regulation where we didn't switch out. We were in a switching defense where we are switching every screen and we failed to do that. It's disappointing." .....I didn'...

Billyboy78

Didn't get to see any of the game, but loved it when I looked at the box score and saw 16 reabounds and 7 blocks from Hare. Just curious, what was the size of Loyola's front court players?

Billyboy78

He's definitely got some guard skills, handles well, can shoot it and shows a couple of nice passes in that video. I wonder if he was a guard at some point who had a growth spurt? He's also possibly not highly rated yet because he's buried somewhere in Minnesota. He looks like he has very good skill...

Billyboy78

Found a little tape on this kid, looks like an interesting prospect. Athletic for a 6'9" kid, has very nice form on his outside shot. He's listed as a SF, PF and even a SG depending on where you look. How nice would that be, a future backcourt of 6'4" and 6'9"? Question is, are we sti...

Billyboy78

Why didn't they at least double team the kid that took over 100 shots? Seems like a pretty simple plan to me.

Billyboy78

Yes, Happy Thanksgiving to all. As far as eating too much, hopefully we'll all be jumping up and down on Friday night to burn off those extra calories.

Billyboy78

That's another reason I'd love to make the A10 tournament. Great for recruiting, especially in the NYC area. I'm sure there will be a couple of kids from NY come springtime that college coaches will be drooling over.

Billyboy78

If I were the coach of the other team, I would have had someone follow this kid all around the court, even when my team was on offense.

Billyboy78

Hassan's first game is tonight. EC's is still a couple of weeks away.

Billyboy78

Last Day of Early Signing Period I think we see how the high school season plays out, what players emerge and go from there. There will be plenty of high school seniors who make huge jumps from their junior years. There will plenty of talent to go after with the remaining scholarship(s).(Do we know...

Billyboy78

Nice season-preview type article on Hassan from his local paper, not a lot of new information but a good, fun read. I cannot wait to watch this kid! Great article. Sounds like he really carea about the game. It also sounds like some of us here have said, that he is still growing, having grown 3 inc...

Billyboy78

I just read a little about the team. Supposedly they play the same style Loyola-Marymount used to play, except faster, if that's possible. Full court press, fast break to take 3s, stuff like that. Crazy numbers any way you look at it though.

Billyboy78

And there might not have been video games in French Lick, Indiana in the 70's.

Billyboy78

I'm afraid of what attendance might be at Friday's game. The campus will be basically empty with the Thansgiving weekend and the opponent is not well known to the average fan. At least during Christmas break when the students are home, the games are mostly against A10 opponents. Anyone care to guess...

Billyboy78

I would also know what Nik did. If it's such a minor infraction as a couple here have said, what's the big deal about making it public?....unless it is under direct orders from Dan himself.

Essam, how do you punish one guy in a team sport without it hurting anyone else? Part of the punishment is the knowledge that you've let your teammates, your fans, etc., down.

Do you guys remember when the whole class was punished for the action of one person? Hurley punished the whole team by sitting down one of his best players. He also punished all the fans who paid good money to see the game. For what breaking curfew? Its like giving somebody five years in the jail f...

I really don't care who they recruit.

Billy is a better basketball player than all of those guys. He didn't need to sit Nik or dismiss anyone or suspend anyone just so he could play his son. OK, enough of praising the Barons and bashing the Hurleys. It's already getting tired. Can you possibly post something that doesn't involve how gr...

Billyboy78

Given URI's slow start to games so far this season, a carryover from last year, this game will be no contest from beginning to end. The Rams will fail to score 50 points, the OSU margin will peak at 41 points and garbage time will reduce the final margin to 32. I don't know if it will be that bad. ...

Billyboy78

If you say so, but I don't ever remember McKoy playing guard.

Billyboy78

He's unstoppable with that frame up against community college kids in Kansas. Probably true ATP, but one wonders what he would have been capable of if he had been on a Hurley Coached team. I don't think a kids like this had much of a shot with Baron, especially once billy became eligible and took u...
