Maybe he's a seahorse

rhodyblue12

The ladies just call him "Mr."

rhodyblue12

I tend to criticize Thomas a lot, so I feel the need to give him some credit where it is due - with a caveat of course. (Blue Man, please skip this post) He played well and honestly we sometimes forget that being the primary ball handler at the D1 level is tough both mentally and physically. A PG pl...

rhodyblue12

I’ll take the win but that was a tough foul based on how they had called the game up to that point.

Put Tchikou on the ball

rhodyblue12

We were competitive against a decent team (no A10 team should be classified as 'good' IMO) which is better than expected after Freeman's departure. Rory can be a good 10-15 min guy next year especially if he keeps improving from 3. If he wants more minutes, he will have to go elsewhere. You cannot t...

rhodyblue12

If you think (like I do) that we will only have 5 or so kids asked back, then we will need difference makers and rotation guys.

rhodyblue12

You are characterizing this kid as a stretch 4? Why, because we played small ball this year out of necessity?
This kid is a PG/SG, is he and Weston could play together.

rhodyblue12

Tough one. It could be looked at through the lens that Ant Harris is just not serious about school and therefore should not be allowed to play. However, if this young man has a learning disability that is either not diagnosed or if he is not getting the support he needs, then that is a different con...

rhodyblue12

I like this player - a big guard that can shoot? Yeah, that is something we need.
There is no one like him on the roster now, so it would give Archie more lineup options.

rhodyblue12

Can we please take this discussion out of the thread of a player that just committed to URI and has yet to play a game here?
Thanks

rhodyblue12

That's the job to have at the RC.

rhodyblue12

Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me? We are really, really bad at using picks. This is mostly on the ball handler. 1) They do not wait for the pick to get set leading to bad picks/moving screen turn overs. Just seems to be impatience and going too fast. 2) When a pick does get set, the ba...

rhodyblue12

He chose Old Dominion. Thought for sure he was headed to Dayton.

rhodyblue12

Give me the relentless guy, the active guy. The guy that sees every rebound as his personal possession.
Our bigs are passive. If they are boxed out, they stay boxed out. We need a motor guy,

rhodyblue12

Not a huge Thomas fan, but he really did not hurt us that badly yesterday. Only one turnover and one ill-advised drive into traffic. The minutes were a bit high – he should probably be a 10 min/game type just to sub in and give other guards a break before the media timeouts. Weston (like Ish) was fo...

rhodyblue12

He has 16 points today .... in the first half

rhodyblue12

This is awful news as Bilal was the one guy with a chance to hang with any quality bigs we will face. I actually hope Rory and Lou get more minutes and see where they fit into the plan. Neither is really ready to be a huge contributor at this point but put them out there. Let them see clearly for th...

rhodyblue12

Sean had 20 points and 9 rebounds last night.

rhodyblue12

Dayton's lineup last night was crazy with Malachi Smith and Kobe Elvis both injured.
They only played 7 guys, but all are 6'6" or taller.
They started 5 forwards.
Unique way to approach college basketball.

rhodyblue12

By and large, I have always thought that in the A10, you could do fairly well with two star guards, two good guards and three frontcourt guys that are solid and don't hurt you- rebound, shot block, putbacks/drop offs and an occasional post move. WRT bigs, Foumena, Bilal, Samb were frontcourt candida...

rhodyblue12

Every one of them is well beyond the 3 pt line. Nice to see.

rhodyblue12

I don't get the negativity at all. This is the happiest I have been in a while. Add Foumena to Bilau, Tchicou, Samb and Hutch (more of a SF) and I can see what our future front court could be. We only need two of those guys to develop into above average bigs and we will be in good shape. If anyone h...

rhodyblue12

Thank you all for the updates. It was very much appreciated.
Sounds like there are many positives to take away from tonight.

rhodyblue12

I'm actually really upset that I cannot watch this game.

rhodyblue12

URI’s bench should be able to beat this terrible team. Enough with the excuses. There is a talent disparity between TSU and URI. Talent alone should be enough to beat Quinnipiac and TSU. TSU’s team is littered with JUCO and Division 2-3 transfers . In for a long 3-4 years. Further down the sh!tter....

rhodyblue12

Feel better Jeremy. We are all thinking of you, my friend!

rhodyblue12

To me, he looks noticeably stronger. I will be rooting for this kid from day one. I hope he becomes a star.

rhodyblue12

Who knows, maybe he examines his options and recommits. All the activity on '23 kids makes more sense, at least.

rhodyblue12

Seems to have really good vision on the court.
I believe the 'awkward' part is just his set up. His feet are much wider apart than most. Release looks good.
Nice recruit.

rhodyblue12

If this was a Cox recruit we'd all be yelling, "Only 2 stars? Look at these others offers, all terrible schools! When Cox gets fired, our next coach needs to be going after all 3/4 star kids." :o And yes, I know people here will be ok with recruiting a two star because we trust Archie wou...

rhodyblue12

Man, Rhodymob5 is just showing his excitement over this signing.
People have to stop picking apart every word of every post.
Do we really want a page where folks are not allowed to be happy about the team?

Keep posting RM5, don't let them drag you down.

rhodyblue12

Come on, Rory.
Can't wait to see you nailing threes in the Ryan Center.

rhodyblue12

Agree with all above, but this is the type of player (legit stretch 4) that we have been missing.
If it takes a year for him to develop, all good.

rhodyblue12

Love it. So many good players out there. Archie going to work!

rhodyblue12

I remember when we were after Anthony Nelson and we lost him to SH because he was looking to get paid. This shows: 1) Paying players has always been happening 2) Kids don't actually care about campus, education, etc. (SH is a concrete dump) We need not be so insecure as to let this stuff bother us. ...

rhodyblue12

Interesting prospect. If he is a legit 6'9" and has a projectable frame, he's an ideal target.
Foumena can be Mr. Inside and Haugh the big that can stretch the defense. Seems like a good pairing.

rhodyblue12

Be great if this is the next stealth signing.
I hope this is the 'cough, Sunday, cough' that another poster here was referring to.

rhodyblue12

Looks like a really good signing:

If this thought has already been discussed, I apologize ... Another potential fallout of these NIL deals is Athletic boosters may redirect the money they used to give directly to University Athletic department as gifts to use it for NIL deals. This will funnel lots of money to specific players in th...

rhodyblue12

I know we are supposed to keep posts to players we have a connection to, but Gianni Thompson just entered the portal.
Local kid with upside.

rhodyblue12

We still have 4 open starting positions. You still get the best guys you can regardless of position. Always nice to have two solid ball handlers on the team. We now have one and still need another.

rhodyblue12

We have 5 starting positions open right now - getting two or even three guards is not an issue.

rhodyblue12

Femi Odukale is an interesting player. A big PG.

rhodyblue12

This player looks pretty good. I believe ECR.

rhodyblue12

What cracks me up is that we had two good shooters in our starting lineup last year in Shep and EA. But, they couldn't do anything because they were locked up most of the time. All anyone cares about on here is if a guard can shoot. We need guards that can create. We need guards that can break down...

rhodyblue12

My god some of you are insufferable. Debate is 1 thing but just shitposting is another. Blue you ever heard of Yuri Collins? First team all A10 PG. Can’t shoot a lick career 32% from 3. But he does a myriad of other things really well. A team is a sum of the parts. Archie knows how to cast a good t...

rhodyblue12

Getting both should not be an option.
Our Guards would be 6'0'", 6'0", 6'2", 6'2"
With 3pt% of: 25.6, 21.4, 33.6, 25.5

Archie is good, but he is not Merlin

rhodyblue12

When in doubt, get the guy that can shoot. We have already met our quota of guards that shoot a low percentage from 3. Any more and we will be right back where we were last year. In fact, here's hoping every player we sign from here on out is a good shooter, including bigs. At least that will give T...

rhodyblue12

I hope this. If there are only two roster spots to fill for next year...I think a lotta people gonna be disappointed in the result. Hoping for MAJOR turnover, if not a complete overhaul. I like some of the pieces we have, and our current players may thrive under our new staff. I don't necessarily t...
