From the little I know(barely wetting bottom of bucket)it seems giving directly the excellence is the most impactful way to get and retain the best players we can attract is via the excellence. If you like and want to support mens and women’s basketball. I will defer to the masters level folks here ...

I think it would be among many factors considered in conference realignment. I guess the question would be how big are the other dogs running by the porch we are getting off.

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. Love Delroy, but don’t it’s smart to replace on of the top assistants around with a former player with zero college coaching and recruiting experience. ...

Does anyone know how are donations to Rhody Excellence are applied? Are they put into an endowed fund? Are they put into a high interest savings bank with high returns? Are they being used for only basketball, because it seems like that’s the only program they’re using to get buy-in? I’m extremely ...

EZ now, will be my new post to each recruit, portal, he’s coming here type speculation from here out.

I tell ya, I am in need of inpatient Rhody rehab. My SSO for URI was locked because I didn't do a required training, and I have 35 papers and 35 Mid-terms to correct. I am having a minor procedure on Friday which disallows any alcohol for 5 days prior to anesthesia. Almost everyone on our team has ...

Rhody reached out.
Looks like a great prospect. Plays inside and out. Would love to see some defense from him though. This team needs a tough defense next year.

Both? Lots of these guys, IMHO, want to play major minutes, be the alpha, even in a lesser level program, even with less money, for many there is a head that also needs to be feed.

No. It just causes hallucinations. You will be on a long, strange trip. The only recommended meds here are alcohol related, so therefore packing on a few pounds is a side effect.. but please, do not pack any lines…….😉 i'm going to pack the ole peace pipe with SweetSpots finest Aaaaahhhhh the beauty...

Running a poll? No. May I add? Archie? No. Take on all incoming……just a cranky ole man. Go Rhody. Have at it.

What's it going to take to get our shit together? A pant load of money? A new coach who doesn't play the pack line? Any other ideas? Let's not overreact yet. Just waiting to see how everything plays out. …..but Dr, I am afraid to go to our fan forum, message board, every time time I go o it, more b...

It's enough to make me a UConn fan.

The support group facilitator says, haven’t we all?…….

As an out patient now, all these portal moves, are troubling for me. I knew there would be some movement out. If the Weston move is partially due his end of season conference with Coach Miller, that is what troubles me.

Well that is the plan, but now it seems all about the money?

If they(coaches and player)considered the season a disappointment, they may have decided to just shut it down?

I'd like to see House here on a team with better players around him. House reminds sometimes of Terrell. But he needs a point guard and a 2 guard to him great. Not even the same stratosphere. Yea, he can’t will some of this roster, with comparisons to the past greats to get us out of the bottom tier.

Well, I don’t know Archie, didn’t know Keno, and although I am down on Archie, Archie is no Keno.

EZ Buckets shoulda got NIL $$

Mmmmmmmm, makes me wanna donate more than ever, who wouldn’t ? More questions than answers.

section(105)

Sorry, but back to my accountability concerns. The Collective Annual Report would be available to “members, stockholders” etc that contributed? And include things like player X listed with Y amounts? Doubt it.

section(105)

Michigan short list? No names, but someone that can recruit, work the portal, handle their NIL and most importantly is not locked into a system come hell or high water and coach to adapt to the players skills…..

section(105)

I have to say, I have thoroughly enjoyed the day long discussion here of all these related issues.

Will any amount of Collective money, at our level get us players to execute the fundamentally flawed packline?

Hurley needs to stop with the rabbit ears. He's going to get in trouble. He looked like he was still jawing with the guy in the plaid jacket well after half ended. Fire is one thing. That's just wrong. Danny needs to be above that but it looks like the guy is still running his mouth. I'm sure he's ...

No. If Ihave to I will shake out the couch cushions, car console, etc to scrape together the season tickets(2).

That, if true, doesn’t make me comfortable and confident the money will go where intended. Meaning the collective won’t be following its own rules a. Nice.

I previously gave one-time donations to the university but did decide to join the Collective. Not necessarily because I felt it fundamentally makes sense but that I thought what the hell and might as well give something. I can understand those based on principle who don't believe in it because the ...

Would think Bobby's financial situation is in a lot better position after nine seasons making several million annually at ASU. Despite having played in the NBA, he had made some bad investments and was supposedly in debt 12 years ago when he was on the URI staff. If he is dismissed he will end up o...

Big Fou started the season really strong and had big games in the 2nd and 3rd games of the year Wonder if him and Arch never saw things the same way ? Yes, we will probably neva know what the issues were. I would have to think shot selection was an issue. But with those demonstrated skills amazing ...

Beating the packline has become an art form and there’s lotsa painters out there. I’m not optimistic with Miller stubbornness to try anything else.

Yes, totally agree. Unless he was a complete team wrecker and locker room cancer. Again ya can’t teach 6’11’ freshmen with some raw skills. I would call it a stain on Archie’s resume to miss with this kid.

D. Think the unwillingness to move off his defense, not being able to reach and develop Foumena, And getting no where his stated coaching methodologies stated in his intro press conferences, getting out coached in some games. Lack of players getting better under his coaching watch. Very much a disap...

Sheesh. I gotta stop doing polls. Please don’t stop, I’m waiting for the annual Archie Miller grading poll Wonder what Archie would give himself?

From the Projo today. Sounds like Archie wants to run it back with a good amount of the guys from this season. “We need to bring back a significant portion of this roster that’s about the right things, and we need our fans to start to grow with them a little bit. “We need our place to start to unde...

we were a broken program prior to AM even being on the radar in Kingston, we are just as broken now (maybe more) since he's taken over.
