I will go to every home game no matter who we play I will drive to every game within 200 miles of the Ryan Center no matter who we play except the pc game ( I refuse to pay them money and sit in their venue) I plan on flying to several games this season I feel that scheduling is very difficult for ...

We've got a pretty good history there -

Toppin - unranked
Ish - 3 star
Martin - 3 star
Fatts - 3 star
Dowtin - 3 star
Langevine - 3 star
Hassan - 3 star

Really, going back to the Hurley era we only had 3 4 star guys - EC, Terrell, and Harris.

Yeesh. Sensitivity overload. It’s a nicer way of asking “if there’s a coaching change would you stay.” Like yes I’m half joking/half suggesting if there’s a more intelligent person with a journalistic mind who can frame a question better to get a similar answer. Maybe just ask DC Rams if he’ll stay...

Blue Man

Blue Man, not a question that should ever be asked. Besides, DC is correct a recruits loyalty is with the staff. When parents send their kids away, they put their trust in the coaches. So if Cox is gone during this season or at season end then this kid is not coming to URI? Who knows, depends on th...

Would also be curious if he wants to be a Ram more or play for Coach Cox more.

Blue Man

Ramster you beat me to it. Texas has landed the most impressive group of transfers in the country: Marcus Carr - MN, JR G (19.4 pts/ 4 rebs/ 5 assists) Tre Mitchell - Mass, SO C ( 19 pts/7 rebs) Timmy Allen - Utah, JR SF (17 pts/ 6.4 rebs/ 4 assists) Dylan Disu - Vanderbilt, SO PF (15 pts/9 rebs) C...

What did Delroy think of the PC-URI Rivalry? and what did he (and other URI/PC Alums that he knows) think of Cooley dropping the game last season?

That is most definitely not a PM answer. That answer needs to be on the billboard.

Not all of us are phone phobic but I agree there should be an option for paper tickets.

Lol I'm making a joke, but in total agreement as well. I hate mobile tickets. Phone batteries die. I'd rather have the paper.

Blue Man

The idea that size can’t beat shooting is pretty easily debunked when you think of duke’s 2 6’10 guys against Rhody’s guards in 2018. Obviously a lot of skill but we couldn’t do shit. If the Mitchell’s develop and progress it will be a differentiator especially in a historically smaller A-10. Would ...

Seriously why do people keep responding to the troll.

I never understood the intense hate Jermaine received here. Well, I "understood" it - people were very disappointed he didn't live up to his recruiting hype. That said, it really went overboard IMO. Good luck Jermaine - I was pumped when he came here, unfortunate that injuries happened an...

Blue Man

I am okay with it, and comfortable with how he constructed the roster (at least for now). Seriously? Absolutely, as I said for now. I want to see how this core group performs going forward before throwing stones. The biggest swap this season was Bozeman for Sutton, which I think is an upgrade. What...

Blue Man

Its a shame, but he was a serious problem. Best of luck to him. I sincerely doubt he was a "serious problem" - he seemed to be well-liked by teammates, and there isn't any indication that he was a problem child from an academic or chemistry standpoint. I think it's important to make a dis...

Blue Man

I do sincerely hope we do. Chance Stephens looks like the real deal.

If everyone stays healthy there’s no reason we can’t compete with the Mitchell twins, ish, and Shepp.

If we dont, it’s clear we need to move on. So let’s hope for the former. Would love a fun year back in the Ryan center.

Nice to be an also-ran in these articles again.

Yup, zero chance they allow people to push their tickets back another year. Either renew the tickets, or lose them.

See y'all there!

Every single person that responds to this troll keeps him around.

For the love of god please stop. Ignore him.

Blue Man

Not to defend Cox, as I think he truly needs to step it up, but it's hard to say a coach needs to be fired when he's only had 1 normal season as a coach. Hurley's 2016-2017 was very similar to Cox's 2019-2020 team, Hurley needed to get to the championship to make the tourney. Cox was not afforded t...

Harris getting his teenage girl on all over IG.

Good luck wherever he goes. Hopefully he finds a higher ceiling than he was able to find here.

Blue Man

Since we are yet again devolving down this road...let me be 100% clear: NO ONE is rooting against a coach or player that wears the Keaney Blue. No one wants to be “right” about their critiques of the team, a player, or a coach. Every single person who has ever bitched on this board for or groaned in...

Blue Man

Thorr imo will not wait much longer for URI to contend for an NCAA berth. Cox's leash has almost reached it's end. For those of us who have been following this program for a long time, when we have hired coaches, success either follows very soon after those hires, or it doesn't at all. Several exam...

The epitome of a scumbag.

David Cox should be looking for another job. His fate at URI is sealed. Players who are capable of improving the URI program will not come here. I'm not down on David Cox; the AD created this situation by hiring David and not letting him grow into the position with his full support. Cox has gotten ...

So either someone who is a cancer or playing too much.

Would have to assume Carey or Harris? Unaware of any off court issues with either though.

I love the cryptic guessing game.

Blue Man

Oof. I mean, you can look at the stats and squint and go, "Hey, that's not bad!" But the problem is how the season unfurled. The team got worse as the season went on, and lost to bad teams and in conference play. We lost seven of our last eight. UMass beat us twice. And IIRC, we had a sim...

QUACK

Blue Man

I think Bozeman is a huge upgrade to the staff. The two young assistants will benefit from his presence. Cox might call on Todd's experience when needed. Cox had a really "light weight" group of assistants in my opinion. c I think that the program is poised for success. A good roster, tha...

That first game in the Ryan Center.....OH Boy!!!! Very interested to see if it’s absolutely packed because we couldn’t go last year, or dead because people lost interest, teams isn’t expected to be great, and still being nervous about covid.

Blue Man

Oh right my bad. Loads of quality coaches totally don’t pay attention to their team’s opponent before they play them. It’s totally common for all the fans to have a 3 day heads up that the best player on your conference rival isn’t playing but the coach doesn’t figure it out til after the game. Tot...

IMHO the scouting failure and open admission for UMass without Mitchell was a fireable offense. You had a 3rd year head coach, who has been at major college programs for over 2 decades, in charge of a legitimate D1 basketball program in a multi-bid conference, not prepare for (and admit to) the bes...

Gonzaga is a high major team in a mid major league. Literally zero of the National media will refer to Gonzaga as a mid major.

Every single player that didn't start for the Bonnies in 20-21 have entered the portal, their entire bench (total 6 players). I don't every remember seeing that happen before.

Considering Cox didn't get a contract extension, I would assume the elder Carroll's money doesn't come from our coaches pool. The pool is established in Cox's contract, and it's set at $425 for 3 assistant coaches. This stuff is all public record and Bill Koch does a great job of putting it out ther...

I do think we'll be better without Fatts - just for the fact that the only saving grace Cox could possibly have is that he sold his soul to keep Fatts here. Fatts needed to be a distributor and instead he was a ball stopper who shot way way wayyyy too much for his ability. He'll be great at Maryland...

Agree with everything except the part where you said we are a mid-tier A-10 program. I'm sure I'll get shit from some of the "realists" but we are top tier. You are what your record says you are. 10th place in 14 team A10 A season doesn't make a program. Still one of the top tier programs...
