Yeah, maybe to be player to run the scout teams schemes against the higher priced players?

section(105)

Somewhere this NIL thing went off the rails. I don’t know what to think anymore. The players wanting and getting their piece of the pie has turned into a God awful mess.

section(105)

Per Matt Norlander, Dan and staff are getting a big, well deserved raise from UConn. Good for Dan! I wonder if it includes a stipend for 105’s Rhody Rehab so Dan can work on his sideline rage issues ? Rhody Rehab is better than anything UConn can offer in-house. He would get a “discount” for servic...

We were never loaded to begin with lol

Reminds me of the rebuild vs. reload discussion we beat into the ground here a few years ago.

Just guessing between $0 and the sky.

Maybe it will give A-10 teams an opportunity to schedule ascending and the better teams in lesser conferences, and beat them down by lots and lots of points to help the offense stats?

section(105)

Our player get competition is not PC.

I thought the Tournament Central, with Barkley , went into silly stuff. I do like coaches they bring on.

section(105)

I know Barkley is popular, but need to get Seth Davis onto the varsity desk.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, even with CPAP machine……

I haven’t really watched much of Coit but what little I have watched and read, he’s a very talented offensive player - which is great - but he looks quick, too. Just a random thought I had regarding the quickness and his height… Imagine if he came to Rhody and if we installed a full court press to ...

section(105)

Regarding Rhody Rehab and Dan Hurley, I think Andrea might offer some in-house guidance, she is a healer, fixer. Dan sometimes referenced this during his time here. Is sideline act, real simple, if he is not your coach, betting against him etc, you dislike him, if he is your coach you love him.

section(105)

Would love to see that style of play, the quickness etc, harassing full court defense etc. Do we “do that here……”??

section(105)

OK, seems like another bucket getter, which on the surface is not a bad thing. Against the A-10 competition? Wonder what the ripple effects would be to current stayers? Of course for me those highlights are all O, can he D?

May I offer that Rhody Rehab remains open.

Morgan Wooten?

I’ll believe it when announced by Georgetown.

I saw DH hug PMurphy in the handshake line , I forget was Murphy an assistant for DH @ Rhody ? Yes. 3 former Rhody assistants in that game. Preston, Luke, and Tom Moore. Moore was never really an assistant, was he? More of an undercover poacher, confederate type it seemed. And we all shoulda known ...

section(105)

Well it should be easier for them this time around. It's why brining back a core group of players is so important. Instead of putting together an entirely new team, they can build off the strengths and weaknesses of the group coming back. We also have more NIL money to work with. The staff is deali...

If they become employees do they even have to go to class and keep up a GPA? Do they even need to be students! Can you limit number of years of eligibility? Are there any limits you can put? I wonder how long they can limit the years since this all stems from not being able to limit ones ability to...

What’s the application fee? Assume not $0. Add $1 to it for Collective = Boom. Like many have said the collective is a separate entity from the school. While it speaks with the basketball staff on who (the collective) should be communicating with, they are not one in the same and I think it would p...

One thing that should never happen again is a program getting put on probation for illegal benefits. It is the complete Wild West and with 90% or more of these players never going to be in the NBA or a high end basketball career the education/school end of it is a a complete joke. I give credit to ...

Where was/is Archie’s hot area for any of his former players?

Me thinks KJs rep here, or else where will be based on his employers ability to pay his touted recruits. No?

For those poo pooing the possible loss of Kenny Johnson, I think it's a big deal. He is known as one of the top recruiters in the country. The DMV is producing some of the best talent in the country. If we finally get the money to be able to get high end talent from that area, he's the one who will...

Recruiting the portal is significantly different then recruiting high schoolers when it comes to "stealth" mode. Probably the biggest thing is the expedited timeline. In previous recruiting cycles, players may have been in contact with a staff for 1 year + which gives them plenty of time ...

Good question(s) for Stone, regarding the other sports? It was my understanding the Excellence Collective was MBB and WBB only.

section(105)

So the coach will fail? Bizarre scenario, but…….hope soon we get players to talk about here.

section(105)

Well stated, thank you.

section(105)

OK. Fine. I hold to past success, for any coach, does not guarantee future success. Hoping Archie will get it done here also. Go Rhody

Is Bilau actually leaving? I imagine he gets another year. Nothing personal against Bilau, but I hope he's not being counted on to stay and provide meaningful minutes. Love his game, but he can't stay on the court. I am thinking given his Sr Night send off coupled with his lingering medical issues ...

I'm not trying to infer that anyone in this discussion is dumb or has a stupid take. I'm sorry if I came off that way. I'd say we have many different points of view and my personal point of view keeps evolving. We have boosters who are willing to donate substantial dollars into their favorite athle...

section(105)

Totally agree, maybe for some it is the principle involved here. Call what you want, being shaken down, paying “students” already on free academic ride, let the employer pay the employees, on and on. It always comes down to consumer paying increased costs. Pay up, shut up, show up, wear Keaney Blue...

Unbelievable amounts of mental gymnastics to avoid giving $10 a month 😂 I'm sure you all don't blow more than $10 on unnecessary shit like alcohol, tobacco, weed, fast food, fancy clothes etc. I'm sure you are all incredibly frugal people that never waste money on anything! Especially not TEN dolla...

Funny off topic. Do we need a Rhody Investment help group also?

section(105)

The players need to be paid by those making the money on them. That seems like the logical solution…no? The players are fighting to become employees. If and when that happens NIL will probably go away. Something tells me fans like you will bitch about that too and whine about how that's going to ru...

Question, sorry if this ground has been plowed. Can an NIL offer incentive bonuses, example regular season conference championships, from its NIL piggy bank?

section(105)

I guess our team will be the best our money can buy.
