Athleticism is certainly there, somewhat concerned with the list of schools who have offered/shown interest, is this just a case of flying under the radar?

Shinze88

I think the difference is that if Obi played at Kentucky, he would have constantly been a headline on ESPN: "Obi versus ___ (team or player), 8 PM tonight." Think of the hype Zion Williamson got two years ago and compare that to Obi? Do you think it was even close? I don't. He was a well-...

Maybe I need to read this thread again, but i'm not sure I'm getting that people are questioning whether Tyrese himself has NBA aspirations (even though he clearly just stated that in the Courant piece), in fact I'd expect every D1 athlete to have similar aspirations, i'd question their desire if th...

Shinze88

Good for Tyrese, I hope he enjoys going from a starting position and playing 30+ minutes a game to coming off the bench for 10 minutes at UCONN, especially at his position. There is no doubting he has ability and maybe Dan will be able to bring it out of him on a consistent basis, but it really make...

Not to mention that you haven't won at the Dunk since 2002.

I'd think that Cooley should probably put more focus on winning games in March, not early December

The Rhody thread on their board has by far the most views/posts of any of the current topics, but no, they have no interest in us.

Shinze88

I have found both the pc and UCONN boards to be absolute must reads during this time of quarantine. Its a literal coin flip for who has the more delusional fan base. I can understand the agony of a pc fan though, 1 gifted ncaa win over the last 23 YEARS has to sting on so many levels. I would imagin...

The list of schools reaching out to Martin is very surprising to me, he has shown periods where he is a P5 caliber player but he just plays with a disinterested and lackluster effort for the majority of games. UConn's roster is already filled with similar players, he'd have a nice view of the action...

Shinze88

This is emblematic of the millennial generation. Martin is just another entitled, self-absorbed kid who has no sense of team, no sense of commitment, wants everything handed to him on a silver platter. I'm sure many will disagree with my negative take, but that's okay. We'll all entitled to our opi...

Shinze88

I wonder what the incoming freshmen think about many of our players transferring? Certainly not coming to the team they expected since 4 players (Martin, Long, Tate, Hammond) are no longer here that were here when they signed their NLIs. Their probably thinking their playing time is about to increa...

Shinze88

The Big East is going to rue the day they let UConn rejoin. It will be like if Alabama was in ACC for football. Dan played it like a fiddle. Hats off. That may ultimately end up being the case, but UConn still has a way to go before I'd compare them to Bama joining the ACC. UConn has been down for ...

Shinze88

Tate & Long were both serviceable A10 players but neither of them are "big" losses to me. I view this as an opportunity for Cox to scoop up a few players from the portal who at worst will give us exactly what Tate & Long gave and at best considerably upgrade out talent.

Shinze88

I have not yet been disappointed in losing any of the players that URI has lost to transfer under Coach Cox, losing Fatts would be another story. Tate and Long were fringe A10 players, if they expect to be getting more playing time, its going to be at a low major program, best of luck to Mehki I ag...

Shinze88

Jimmy Baron is the best pure shooter I've even seen in a URI uniform.... period.
Can only imagine what these past 2 years would have been like if we had a shooter like that.

Shinze88

He should just retire, not sure why he'd even want to risk his "legacy" by going to another team. Brady's critics (myself included) have maintained that a large part of his success has been working within a system created by BB. His better years are obviously behind him and his best chance...

Shinze88

Its a gamble taking a transfer who has yet to really prove himself at the D1 level. Makes you wonder how a kid with such a high ranking couldn't get off the Syracuse bench with a proven HOF coach ... at least with a guy like Pipkins, you've seen him perform on the bigger stage. Time will tell if thi...

Shinze88

Wow, our dance team is incredible.

Shinze88

I respect the HELL out of the optimism here. You guys are awesome. I can’t get there, though. Hope I continue my season-long streak of being wrong about just about everything. +10000000 ... i'm in the same boat, I want to be excited and have hope we can get things together and play some solid baske...

Shinze88

Again, another win that felt like a loss, UMass is not a good team, I dont care how well they've been playing, they have 1 guy who can score with any consistency but yet we have nobody who can slow him down. I'm done figuring out what Cox is trying to do with these timeouts, I wish someone would ask...

Shinze88

I have not put a bet on a URI game since Baron was the coach, I literally funded 1 of my kids college education from the Baron era. This game is begging for an extremely large sized wager on the road team if this line stays anywhere near 4, something is extremely suspicious about that line.

Shinze88

Not going to rehash the obvious, but the most alarming part of today is the lack of any urgency the players started the game with and that is directly on the coaching. We are a team with many deficiencies skill wise who struggles to score with any consistency and St Louis was absolutely the team who...

Shinze88

The results of today's games for both bubble teams and the A10 have made this game an ABSOLUTE must win for URI, it doesn't get any clearer than that. SLU has a legit shot for the 4 seed and have everything to play for, the pressure is all on URI tmrw. SLU has the best of the remaining schedule betw...

Shinze88

Unless we finish 3-0, we need to go to A10 finals. Simple as that. We lose to Dayton next week, we cannot afford to lose to anyone again until A10 Finals. ........tall order, given our health status, going to UMess.......trying to stay positive, all starts a Sunday..... You'd think that any combina...

Shinze88

Coach Cox - please run offense and stop allowing your team to chuck up 3 after 3. Call a timeout and run some OFFENSE. this is awful.

Shinze88

I know Cyril is out, but its extremely disappointing that we cant dominate inside on a team with very little front court. If ever a game for Jermaine and Antwan to step up their game tonight was it and they've both been just brutal. Not a good sign for our front court next year. Also settling for wa...

Shinze88

This game has the same feel as the Brown and St Joe's away games. Playing sloppy and uninspired, certainly not looking like a team fighting for an ncaa birth.

Shinze88

Davidson shoots much better at home so I dont expect them to shoot 4-23 like they shot at the Ryan Center. I'm more concerned with the back door cuts they run which we do not really defend well. Hyunjung Lee is a player who can give us trouble, especially is Tyrese guards him. We are more physical a...

Shinze88

I dont think its not so far fetched to see this if you are going back to what was expected in the preseason. PC was picked to finish 3-4 in the Big East which in any year gets you into the ncaa tournament, they returned 6 of their top 7 scorers on a senior laden team, they have obviously underachiev...

Shinze88

Well the money is obviously coming in for Dayton which is concerning, I know I felt much better about this game before this thread started. Why do you say that, Vegas gets rich off games like this. I like all the money going UDs way. I dont know, I think my Rhody paranoia kicks into full gear once ...

I'd be happy with a 1 point win and no injuries as we look forward to a showdown with Dayton.

If he's hurt then dont play, that was a poor effort on defense after the Fatts dribbled off this foot.

looks just like another URI game to me, slow start, missed layups, poor perimeter shooting, missed FT's, bad fouls, bad turnovers.
I'm sure we'll eventually make a game of it, but it just the same script game after game yet we keep expecting something different.

Shinze88

You could have saved yourself and us a lot of time by simply typing: "I don't know what I'm talking about." really ? which part do you need me to explain to you in more detail? Did we just watch the same game? i watched the game and most of your post is garbage. do you really think cox's ...

Shinze88

Sorry but this game felt like a loss to me. I realize that Dowtin being out of the lineup was unexpected and required the team to play with only 1 true ball handler, but most of my issues have nothing to do with Dowtin not being on the court, a player who most on this board would agree has under-pe...

Just an atrocious half of basketball, its really embarrassing how poor this team plays even short handed. I cant remembering EVER seeing an A10 team as bad as this St Joes squad, even some of the dismal Fordham teams. Yes we suck tonight and cant hit a FT or perimeter shot to save our life, so why ...

Great selection with the 30-footer, Martin. Sheesh Its amazing how undisciplined he is by taking a shot like that with nobody underneath to rebound and seeing how St Joe's has absolutely nobody who can guard Cyril. To make it even worse every stupid 3 pt'er he misses the other team almost automatic...

Shinze88

Rhody can no longer afford any bad losses in conference since we were unable to secure a big non conf win vs WV, Maryland or LSU for ncaa at large consideration. A loss would be even worse for A10 tournament seeding which is our only likely path to dance. Have no idea what to expect tonight but I kn...

Shinze88

Absolutely we want Dayton to win! I would think the opposite might be more desirable for URI. Dayton is going to be a Q1 team throughout the year and while a win vs Dayton would obviously be great, a loss (or 2) to Dayton is not really hurting our NET. Its more likely we beat VCU at home for anothe...

Shinze88

This spread is very suspicious to me, URI has been playing poorly and VCU is not a very good matchup for us with their pressure defense and the fact we only have 2 ball handlers. I think I might have to put some money on the "Rams" today

Shinze88

I dont know about anyone else, but this win did absolutely nothing for me, sorry for channeling my inner Doombone, but this was a poor effort in my book. We played a team who was badly undermanned and still had to hang on in the final minutes to pull out a win. We continue to make the same mistakes ...

Shinze88

This makes absolutely no sense to me, there has to be more to it than shaking up the lineup. I'm sorry but there is no way you start your best player on the bench, and there is no questioning he is our best player. I'll wait to find out more before I completely throw Cox under the bus, but this is J...

Shinze88

anyone here still think 14-4 in conference is possible? Effort is there I guess, but this team is just woeful on offense. Why is this staff not able to see that we cant shoot? Our best offense is driving to the basket, we have become a very easy team to "guard".

Shinze88

Richmond runs a similar offense to what Brown runs and with better athletes. This is a game where our defense can be exposed if we do not adjust to screens and help defense assignments. I'm most interested to see what Cox does with the offense in this game, with our team struggling so much from the ...

Shinze88

If you can’t win any big games you certainly can’t lose to Brown. Non conference will go down as a failure now unfortunately. Im fucking angry but saying the season is over is ridiculous. Obviously I’m not confident, but if we win the A10 and beat teams like VCU and Dayton one bad road loss doesn’t...

Shinze88

This basically takes away the goodwill of our PC AND Alabama wins. Who would've thought we lose to Brown by more than WVU going into this season? I dont know, to me PC and Bama are 2 bad teams going nowhere this year and likely to finish near the bottom of their respective conferences, not sure how...
