Why is the focus just on high school players and college kids in the portal? Do any coaches go to men's leagues and see who is playing? I bet you could find some dudes who are 21 and balling, but just weren't interested in school or college a few years ago. With NIL, you could get some street playe...

It's going to be a real uphill battle. I don't think there are nearly as many "fans" out there that are enough of a URI basketball fan to donate as some think there are. Apart from people on this message board (and many of the "senior" season ticket holders who probably have no ...

I hope Blue Man is right about Hammond. Archie has said that he's one of the best recruits he's ever got. I think we all need to stop pissing at each other about where we are as a program right now and how we got here. All that matters is where we go from here. The last 2 years are history, let's l...

No. It definitely had zero affect that the team we recruited had played zero minutes together, that our intended starters played maybe 1/3 of a season together due to eligibility/injuries, or that 86% of our roster had never played at the A10 or D1 level before. When does that ever matter? It's a t...

Is it not obvious that the team just got demoralized as the year went on? They didn't handle adversity well, but there was plenty of talent to win more than 12 games. We saw these "untalented" players gel at times. They had no continuity, roster was in flux, the losses piled up and they h...

I realize the roster, as listed above, will no doubt change. However as is, it leaves me with meh.

That was my post, 02. I was joking around making light of the thought of him at PC. It was a tongue in cheek post. It shouldn’t reflect on BlueMan’s serious, educated negative opinion of Bassy. Just wanted to clarify unless I am missing the point ? Sorry, I think my sarcasm detector needed to have ...

Again, The only way you get Wheeler here is as HC. I mean why would he? I wish it was possible but Miller isn’t going to turn up the temperature on his own potential hot seat. Stop with the Wheeler fantasy. PM fantasy too. ( if I’m wrong plz bring Lilly with you Tyson 😆) Yes, the back to the future...

What did we do, sent him down to Single A ball for further grooming?

Doubt there will be a show to wrap up the season and the path forward, regarding NIL, portal departures and arrivals, status of KJ etc. Don’t think one was scheduled. Archie playing cards close to his vest, as he should with so many significant unknowns. Maybe some some time down the road, when rost...

We have to, unfortunately, fit players into the NIL budget as a major consideration. Regardless of coming from higher or lower conferences.

section(105)

My level of confidence in whoever we get is not very high right now. Since just about every transfer we've gotten the last 2 years has been over rated. The proof is in the playing. I admit, Bone, that I am jaded as far as the portal is concerned. I am not high on lower level players coming in to ma...

Didn’t something similar happen with Ish? High praise from Archie, referred to him a warrior, quiet leader? Then portal.

Question 2. No.

With the way things are in the sport today and a new AD coming in, I wonder how much longer Schmidt decides to stay around in Olean ? Could he retire ? Could he go the Phil Martelli route (but via resignation vs firing) and take a big paying P6 assistants job to help a young coach with X’s and O’s,...

Yeah no chance Dan is going to Kentucky. It’s UConn for life unless the Knicks come calling. That’s my prediction at least. My guess would be he has zero interest in coaching the pro game. News flash: He already is.... Yea, I guess. The semi-pro league(D1 colleges)still could be considered a coache...

Would like to see quick outlet pass to start the fast break, rather than simple hand off to ball handler…….but we are slow afoot…..real slow

And Princeton was coached by Pete Carill, Diggers best friend(Beacon, NY)) did sleep over in my parents house in EP. Used to shoot pool with Pete, away from camps, at local bars in PA. Amazing stick player. Fun times.

The Yale game is starting to feel like the near miss by Princeton vs. Georgetown game in PVD back in the 80s. Although the was a 16 vs 1 game I think?

Well maybe not anymore"………

Watching the games, tells me we need much more 3 point scoring.

Gives me needed hope. Yesterday at State House, it was URI Day, players, coaches, players, Rhody. No check that I saw in a Facebook post. Maybe that’s coming?

Never mind the casual fan, but when even the diehards are starting to bail, the alarm bells should be sounding in Thorrs and Parlanges offices. If Archie is unwilling to adapt and adjust, and continue to force a defensive philosophy that isnt working on his team, maybe change is needed sooner than ...

What about Delroy James? Could he be speaking with Arch? He sat behind the bench at our game at the A10s? Coaching a High School team in Brooklyn.
