Good call...

It is interesting to see two high major and highly coveted kids from URI hit the portal. Wish them the best. Guys like Steinmetz, Catalina and Rohrwasser (SP?) have gotten a shot at the NFL after getting their start at URI. Not to mention guys like Coulter, Parker, and even someone like Kyle Murphy.

You would think this would be the sort of player who is exactly what we need. We can't beat out Bryant now? It's sad that Bryant can get a visit and we can't. He'd probably be our best player right away. You would think that Duane could at least get him to agree to visit. He played at Christ The Ki...

I think it’s fine. To Dino’s point he’s competing for minutes, good depth. Also think this board gets compulsively obsessed with random players. Buru may end up being good (who knows - we never do), but the kid ended up at Oakland, and some here were acting like we lost out on a 5star recruit I wou...

Sunahara's dad is the volleyball coach at WVU. Wasn't that part of the reason why his older brother Rex left URI and went to WVU?

No that's not what I meant to say. What I meant to say is Carey was taken from Syracuse as a former 4 star player, with significant flaws. We've seen them all. But to Carey, there are no flaws. There is no effort to improve anything, and according to some on this site, you're not allowed to point a...

Some of you out there cannot tolerate to read the slightest bit of criticism about your favorite players. And that's why they last their entire careers here, with zero improvement year to year. This was just the tip of the iceberg in terms of criticism. I could go on, but I'll take your advice inst...

I think I agree with what Chris DiSano wrote on Friday. Right now our needs with the final two scholarships are a big, and best available. Keep in mind best available is more then just "best at scoring". There is a lot more to building a basketball team then PPG. There is a saying, the dev...

He has been blowing up. Seems to have offers from most of the major conferences in the country.

Timing with leaving at end of spring ball is usually did not like predicted role on team? Not always,just typically. I would definitely agree. But that would be surprising for a guy who was a returning starter on a team that lost a bit at that position. Who knows. There certainly could be more to i...

Seems like a big loss. Starter for us last year that made some big plays. Secondary appears to be a complete rebuild with the losses of Jones along with Robinson, Gavek and now Carter who were starters. Not to mention Henry Y (Wont try his last name) who was all over the field for us and seemed like...

Looks like Leonard kicked for 1 year and split.

Didnt Leonard have an app that he was developing or something like that?
Good point on Burkhalter. Dont think they planned on Hill getting the extra year.

Bos8

Ramster/Billy (or anyone else...), are you going? Would be curious to hear first hand accounts if possible. Don't think there was a box score last year.

Bos8

wow-too bad. Never got a chance. I mean literally never. seemed into it. Sure he got the message after spring ball. Good point. Timing of the announcement seems to indicate spring ball being the reason. I would venture to guess he anticipated the opportunity to see the field this year, but with Kas...

Isn’t the relationship still a little weird. “Glad you wanted to leave and fell back on us when nothing better came around”. Jerome Tang had a press conference clip about Ish Massoud that was making the rounds. He explained that they discussed his role for the upcoming season and they didn't see ey...

Stefon Wheeler to Yale? Seems like a big loss. Wasn't he our big connection to Florida? If so, yes it's a big loss GoRhody lists his recruiting area as "New Jersey". That doesn't mean what you are saying isn't correct, just putting out there as to what his official bio says. Mike Flanagan...

Posted this is the recruiting thread, but look out for favour aire from miami. If we determine we still need front court help ive heard we will be in the mix.

Bos8

Not sure where to put it. If we are still looking at front court options could be one to keep an eye on?

That’s the thing though, at the end of the day I’m a diehard Rhody fan. I want nothing more than for Austin to sign a big time recruit today and make my takes look terrible. I hope Austin absolutely kills it this cycle and makes me look like a clown. Nothing would make me happier. But until then, I...

Bos8

I like this signing a lot. Not a flashy commitment, but he seems like a dependable player and a good scorer. He had three seasons of college tape the coaches could review, and they clearly liked what they saw. Under rated comment... One of the big draws of the portal is all the guys have synergy fi...

My nephew goes to Merrimack . I saw them 3 or 4 times with him and a couple games on the NEC network. He is a very big guy , very strong around the basket , excellent rebounder. He went to Brimmer & May prep in chestnut hill and is from Kingston Ma I believe. By all accounts a very good kid and...

Bos8

I'm confused about your vendetta against the guys participating in a pro day? Is Flem/coaching staff suppose to say no you can't participate? I would imagine they are pretty up front to these guys about their opportunities at the next level. But nothing wrong with allowing them to pursue all avenues...

Warren and Jones should have a good chance.?? Far better players have tried from Rhody over time and not made it. Warren and Jones were below average players in CAA last season. So were Bartucci & Robinson. And now they are going to the NFL? I hope its Buffalo or NYJ. Henry Y.,Deshields and Lee...

Has FAU always been Division 1? I hadn't heard of them until a few years ago. What a season. About 30 years ago. They've jumped around a bit, between the A-Sun, Sun Belt then Conference USA.

But players in the portal are. Thus the rush for schools to try and name a coach so they can hit the ground running either re-recruiting the guys enrolled there, or getting on the portal guys.

Bos8

Thanks for the update. With the additions of Savedge and Summers, not to mention returners like Lee and Erby we had a solid crop of WRs and Wood's production dipped a bit. Woods is currently listed on the spring roster, so it must have been a recent decision.
Any reports on how Spring camp is going?

Bos8

That URI is on so many lists is bad IMHO. I was hoping they'd target a few who were good fits and the staff had connections to. This scattershot approach shows desperate things are. I think this is a bit different then your typical high school recruit. Everything is really condensed with the transf...

Basically, Cox left Archie with about 3 serviceable players: Ish, Martin, and Carey, on the level of what he's going to need to build a championship team here. Two graduated, one left. He's not beholden to keep anyone else, going into year two. I'm glad he cut Thomas loose. Not sure if this tweet i...

No chance. Cannot give Archie another pass next season. It’ll be year 2. So what does that mean? Are you advocating for him to be fired if we struggle to win 10 games next year? Because that wont be happening short of a scandal or something completely out of left field. Yea man, totally want him to...

With the misses with Freeman and Harris this year not being 3 year type contributors, next year is another potentially year zero of a rebuild. I do hope Ish stays and I'd be happy if Carey opted for a fifth year to help bridge the gap. I really don't want anyone to transfer, though there are a coup...

Bos8

This team could have used an Xavier Munford. I know the line is that Archie wanted to bring in young guys to build for the future. The problem with that is if the guys you get in March and onward are good enough. Even with the benefit of the new transfer rules, I am not sure how successful they wer...
