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? Based on many of his pressers with “players not ready to play, it is on me, I take full responsibility, I have to do better, gotta get them playing the r...

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. I'm not putting the weight of it all on AM, however he was brought in to change the direction of the program but to date we're on the same trajectory prior to his ...

After yesterday’s loss, I had to check myself in. Well, here are the bottom of the A-10. Raise your hand if any of you thought this is where we would be. Waiting…….not seeing any hands up. So what can I do? I guess sit back take deep cleansing breaths to let these realities sink in. The coach isn’t ...

You know who actually may be a good coach for us down the road ? Antonio Reynolds Dean already been a top assistant @ Clemson and UGA , thoughts ? The names being tossed about are fun to read here. Fine. I am more concerned who is going to be the GM, Head of the Scouting Dept, ya know to prepare an...

A guaranteed round of 64 exit every year would still be far better than the trainwreck of a program that we have currently with Archie at the helm.

Aaaaaa, NO

I was as excited as anyone when we hired grumpy, but I don’t care anymore what he says and how he seems to understand what is wrong. I only care that he fixes it….that is literally all that matters.

Not too mention I went to the prep tournament at RIC a month ago, and the national prep tournament at Clark in Worcester last week.

wtf is fuchs doing? get him out of there!!! First half he sucked.. This half he's been much better. He's had two big steals and is playing much better on the defensive end. Just ran the floor well for a nice finish... I really don't get why so many of you go out of your way to call this kid out. He...

We desperately need a rim protector. Our centers back peddle as the opponent is attacking the basket and wind up committing a foul as they try to defend the player. It is a good thing the NCAA does not track charging fouls as we would probably be at the bottom. When was the last time our opponent w...

I am concerned that a win or two in Brooklyn will somehow create a fog that the team as comprised is really better than the record shows, and even with another couple of wins(Brown, New Hampshire etc) we are exactly on track on rebuild. Not for me, we need more talented players.

We would have been better suited against a more offensively challenged team. Davidson or Fordham. Not convinced our defense improved versus we just played a team (Fordham) that doesn’t have a ton of offensive weapons. SLU hung 94 on us, at home. Duquesne handled us rather easily. Wish I had more ho...

Why have a limit on scholarships now? When you can pay a walk-on $150k a year? The coaches will be choosing how much money each player gets. Walk-ons will not be getting 150K. The coaches decide? Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think the coaches are giving anything to the collective. Why should the...

I give all freshman some slack, like Foumena for example who has the size and athleticism to be a good player. Dubs will improve, but I’m not sure he’ll be quick enough, but maybe I’m wrong. All his (Dubs) short comings are on full display. But if his shooting is valued and an asset, the coaches wi...

Good win for sure. Maybe this will pump a few pounds of air into the mostly deflated season going into the A-10. A win or two? Sure, why not. Beyond that doubtful. Then the talent upgrades begin. Go Rhody

I just now realized that I have become my father.

I think that’s already started with Foumena. One of the guys who actually plays hard and looks like he cares. Makes no sense. Not saying he's been good, just that at least he tries. It still surprises me that as bad as we have played, Foumena hasn't even seen the court in the last 2 games (zero min...

What does this job pay, $100k a year? We will probably neva know, employed by the Collective not the university? If I had to guess < 100,000. Second thought.

Liked the Tier breakdown. Regarding Dubs, I keep hearing he lacks size, speed, toughness, athleticism to a rotation guy at this level or on a good team. Fine, but news flash, we are not a good team at this level, probably won’t be one next year either. So maybe he does have a role in the build up to...

I think he would have told you a range, but not the specific amount any one player is receiving. None of the collectives disclose the per student amount.

Last nite on post game radio, reacting to Archie’s post game comments, there was discussion n finding 5 players that have demonstrated they want to be here, want to play hard and go with that group to get major minutes(start?) against Fordham. Who would those be?
