What the hell is going on in Rhode Island...another commit,this time Brendan Adams, PG. This makes 5 recruits for URI for 2018, top-20 class

Billyboy78

Zags and Kim have it too....I'd say it's official.

Rhody has their very own “fab five” as Brendan Adams just committed. High level shot-maker.

Billyboy78

I've said this before. Now, I've never seen Amir Harris play live. But I LOVE what I see on tape!

Mom's a big Ravens fan. Ugh. And I was liking her, too. That's a serious character flaw. Maybe if he comes here, he'll "see the light." There's a pic of his mother wearing a Ray Lewis jersey. She's from Maryland. In the pic, Brendan has a shirt with NY on it. Mom explains that is because ...

Brendan Adams prediction: Rhode Island

Why?

Billyboy78

I want Adams (assuming Hurley still does). BUT if he doesn't pick us i won't feel like it's much of a hit. We already have a terrific on paper class for 18. Adams would take our last scholly. I was debating this with some friends/family and my father tried to argue he would prefer we not get Adams....

Billyboy78

After the Ravens game. They are big Ravens fans.

I remember somebody talking about this at some point.

Yes, and what's amazing is that he was recruiting these high profile guys to play in Keaney Gym.

This might seem anti-climactic after Jermaine's commitment. But this is a big one too. Let's get pumped! Let's gooooooooooo!!!

Well, that's not good....

Billyboy78

Not one of our players, but saw that Mo Alie Cox was signed to the Colts practice squad yesterday. With that body he could be a beast at tight end once he learns the game.

Billyboy78

Georgia got a verbal from Landers Nolley today. They have one scholarship left.

Billyboy78

The Tyson Wheeler, ARD class ('94)was pretty good as was the Jiggy Williamson, Stanley Wright, Wilds, Soares ('74). I go back to the early 70s. You'd have to ask Rod about the 60s, and maybe Neil for before that.

Billyboy78

On paper, it might be. I remember '76 with Sly Williams and Jimmy Wright. Who else was with them? Silk and Tommy(although Tommy wasn't highly ranked, he almost played football at URI) in '84. Who else was with them? I have to think about this. The fact that we're probably going to get 5 very good pl...

Billyboy78

Hey you opened the door, I just walked in, what has he done at RHODY, anyone can live off the past. What have you done for me lately :D You don't build recruiting relationships in less than 4 months. I guarantee you Dan had him on '19s and '20s once he started recruiting, except for someone who he ...

Billyboy78

If you really want to stretch for '19, let's go here. He's now a 5*, top 20 prospect.

Billyboy78

Not sure why you would’ve been lukewarm on him. His been killing in DMV recruiting since His G’town Days. scary thought....got one of the, if not the best recruiting classes in school history and Tom Moore isnt even fully on the trail yet. Imagine where this can go if the trio of Cox, Moore and Dan...

2018 @CHC_Basketball & Team Melo guard Brendan Adams will announce his decision on Sunday

Billyboy78

I know Iggy has said that Adams is announcing tomorrow, but has BA himself made it known that he’ll be deciding soon? (Not questioning Iggy or his sources, just wondering if it is public knowledge) I think Koch has said it too. I still haven't seen a time though. It might be a low profile announcem...

Billyboy78

Another top target for '19. I believe he has blown up a little and is now a 4* player. Coach Cox has been doing amazing work in the DMV area. Here's another one.

Billyboy78

Looking ahead to '19, this could be a top target. Massoud is one of the top players in New England and he's only a junior. He's ranked 70ish in the country in the '19 class. Do we have any good connections with him? We have talked about Dana Tate being a leader type. Dana knows this kid pretty well....

I've always said I want him here for the long haul. We are still building and it's still getting better. We could have a potential powerhouse for years.

Billyboy78

Ace, I would love to hear your take about this year's recruiting class. Pretty sure it’s the same as most everyone else’s: it’s good (/hot take). I admit I don’t know much about A. Harris at all. I think the most important takeaway is that they’ve gotten nearly everyone they’ve seriously targeted s...

Gio, I was saying that same thing to someone, it's unheard of. A great class, and all signed before the season starts. Now staff can use that and another season of on-court success to be laser focused with our needs from 2019 class. And shoot for the stars, take some risks. I was thinking about '19...

Billyboy78

It would seem that Dan and staff are building off the momentum of the A-10 tournament championship and NCAA run. That success is not being wasted but looks to have been leveraged to our advantage. That was missing in the 1988 and 1998 NCAA runs and the opening of the Ryan Center. Those successes we...

Billyboy78

The Brady/Manning debate ended a long time ago. The Brady/Montana debate ended last year. Who's left? Sid Luckman and Sammy Baugh? Anyone who is still debating against Brady being the GOAT just looks silly now.

Billyboy78

I'd love to get a shot at Xavier in the tourney this year. They've got some really obnoxious fans.

Billyboy78

4 for 4. One to go!!!

I would like to take credit for starting this thread over a year ago.......you're welcome.

Yes! Yes! Yessssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!

One the other hand, XU's assistant coach Travis Steele liked Jermaine's tweet of 'Big day today' within the last hour. If he's not picking Xavier, he hasn't told them yet. None of our coaches have liked the tweet.

I'm thinking that since Brian Snow lives in Cincinnati and he's hearing nothing about a Xavier recruit, that is good news for us. At least that's what I'm hoping.

Billyboy78

If we don't get Adams, I hope we're still in on Balanc.
