Mark Turgeon on Fatts Russell: "One of those transfers, Fatts Russell, is the career steals leader for Rhode Island and averaged 18.8 points per game there two years ago. But at Maryland, he'll be expected to be a facilitator, while Eric Ayala moves from the point to the two. Russell "wan...

No stupid “start 5 big men or start 5 point guards”suggestions have been made til you brought it up. Starting the best 5 players was mentioned more than once. Last season when Mahki was injured, it was important to have at least one of Mahkel or Walker on the court which meant playing a smaller lin...

Ah, here we are.

Yes Cooley was chicken shit for ...

Good!
Does this mean Ryan Center will be limited to 35% capacity?
Ramster, currently allowing full capacity, just checked.

So what does the 35% mean in the memo other than to potentially confuse?

Seriously, if your best 5 players are PGs are you going to start them? Of course not. For most opponents we need 2 big men, two shooters and a PG on the court at most times. Because most players are "a little of this and a little of that" they can play different roles. This team need s to...

You said similar to Carey a year ago. You don’t bring in a Top 50 player and not start him. So Carey started 2 games and clearly list his starting spot. Makes you wonder if that hurt him versus bringing him along more slowly. He seemed to lose confidence and his playing time diminished to where he w...

As Rothstein says - like seedless watermelons

The 1 year transfer without penalty is becoming transfer anywhere, anytime as often as you want.

Maybe because he was a top 50 recruit and much was expected of him. Syracuse moved away from him due to the turnovers Same turnover issues were there last season Not a good ball handler or passer.

Does it really matter if Antwan starts as long as he gets the minutes he deserves in the end? I honestly prefer him as a spark plug off the bench than a starter. He brings so much energy. To me no it doesn’t. What matters to me is that he receives the minutes that maximizes his effectiveness and ma...

Norlander has us at 93. Not sure I agree about Carey though: 93. Rhode Island: Look for Jalen Carey to have the kind of season he was expected to have last season (but did not), since Fatts Russell has moved on. URI isn't likely to be an NCAA Tournament team, but this program is still maintaining a...

We really don't know what the level of talent here is. And do we get the most out of that talent? At least we'll know soon enough.

He’s an idiot. Love that PC has him signed for life at $4 million a year and locked in. Beautiful.
Can’t make this stuff up.

Michigan’s best decision ever was to drop going after him a few years ago. What a sigh of relief for them.

Looking at the overall schedule, This team can surprise and win 20+ games and still not get an NIT invite. Rhodyram don't get too carried away, we win 20+ games and we will definitely get an NIT bid. Our schedule isn't that ridiculous and the A10 is a respectable conference. Last year in an abbrevi...

Stevey you shouldn't speculate about this, in the end it didn't make any difference. If we had a terrible season that is one thing, but we were respectable at 21-9 (13-5 A10) The A10 preview for 2019-20 had us in the 2nd tier with Richmond below VCU, Dayton, and Davidson.

Based on what I saw Walker will be a starter. Yesterday he showed some great moves down low and was virtually unstoppable. Mitchell taking 3's cannot continue to be part of our offense. He showed some nice moves down low and that is where he is clearly more effective. So in a 4 guard line up of She...

I really liked the A team starting lineup, Ish, Ish, Makhel, Martin and Shepard. They shared the ball, ran the court, played defense. One would assume that Walker and Carey who played on the b squad would be part of the first eight. Martin and Walker should have big years. Basically, I spent most o...

Saw the first half of scrimmage Walker dominated offensively— was probably 6 for 7, mostly going up against Makhi. A bevy of different moves and great finishing. But he was on the floor with the 2nd team and everything ran through him. I hope he is used more effectively this year as he has a polish...

It is my understanding that the AC is involved with the HC in coordinating the scheduling of games.
