If you say so, but I don't ever remember McKoy playing guard.

Billyboy78

He's unstoppable with that frame up against community college kids in Kansas. Probably true ATP, but one wonders what he would have been capable of if he had been on a Hurley Coached team. I don't think a kids like this had much of a shot with Baron, especially once billy became eligible and took u...

If PC gets Dunn, Council, and Cotton healthly by the start of the BE league season, they will be pretty good. A middle of the pack team I would guess. Still no frontcourt depth though. Next year, the rivalry with us should really pick up again. They will be better, and we will be a LOT better. Our ...

The only reason I'm not sure if Martin starts right away is he'll still only be 17 years old when his 1st college game happens. It's a lot to ask a 17 year old to go up against 21 and 22 year olds. But would it surprise me if he does? No. He looks like he could use a few pounds, but that could come ...

With Martin, Mathews, Aaman and Hare off the bench is a good team.

I have to think that Matthews starts from day 1.

Supposedly, Bryce Cotton is on crutches today. Geez, and I thought we had problems. Looks like they have 5 scholarship players for the game. Hey, could I enroll at PC as a grad student and get some playing time? I'm 55 and can't run that well anymore and my vertical is down to about 6 inches but I ...

This Gonebarongone guy seems to be here looking for trouble, in my opinion.

I don't quite have the same feeling for tomorrow's game.

Billyboy78

I have a feeling that Severe will be our next commit, just a guess. He might not see tons of minutes as a freshman, but he'd see some backing up Munford. And if he's as good a shooter as they say, he'd probably see more. And as a sophomore, that 2 guard spot would be his, unless we recruit somebody ...

Oh, I agree. I think he'd be an average player at best if he had stayed here against A10 caliber competition.

Sophomore transfer Dominique McKoy continued his torrid start to his Tiger career by scoring 26 points on 12-of-15 shooting from the floor. McKoy is now averaging 16.7 points and 8.7 rebounds.

Finally an article in today's Projo about our signings. A couple of other interesting things mentioned, one quote about recruiting."Hurley says he's not necessarily done, expressing a need for a wing shooter and perhaps the best avauilable big man his staff can track down."...We know we ne...

I hate PC. There is not a close 2nd in any sport....ok, maybe the Jets. We could go 1-28 and I'd still be happy if that 1 win were against PC.

Billyboy78

KMac had one tweet yesterday, it was about Vincent Council. He finally tweeted about our recruits at about 10 o'clock this morning.....guess he didn't hear about it yesterday... That is a huge indicator of his focus. As are his tweeting back and forth with a PC fan about how great the Big East is.

Billyboy78

I'd love to see it when we make it big, that Hurley doesn't give the local media the time of day, like Belichick did in Foxboro to a-holes like Borges.

I think at this point I'd also be thrilled with 9 wins. I'm expecting an 0-8 start. 9 wins mean they go 9-12 the rest of the way. That would indicate what we're all looking for, a team that is improving as the season goes along. I think a 9-20 season with what Hurley has to work with right now would...

I'd be thrilled with a tie.

Typical.

Not a mention of anything in this morning's PC Journal of our signings either, just a preview of the PC/UMass game.

I noticed this in one of the articles today. What the hell does this mean?

newcomer Ifeanyi Onyekaba - currently sitting out during an NCAA year in-residence.

I'm choosing to ignore them. It's a great day for URI today. I'm looking forward to a very bright future. This could be a very tough year, record wise. That doesn't change my optimism going forward.

With today's LOI news, I am ecstatic!!

Somewhat of a confirmation that EC will be signing....the fact that EC retweeted this.

Congrats to @EC_Matthews2, @Im_back_15 and Leo Edwards on signing this week! #Romulus

If Hare can eventually become a force on the defensive end, I'd be very happy with that. He's very athletic as far as his jumping ability and has a very large wingspan. If he can learn technique and timing, he could be a very good shot blocker. Once he develops his body and can bang with guys at thi...

^^^^great pic of X driving to the hoop!^^^^

Billyboy78

From what I've seen, which is only Madness and game 1, they have 4 good freshwomen on the team. The future certainly looks a lot better than the recent past.....and not only was game 1 winnable, the coach blew that game. They should absolutely be 2-0.

Billyboy78

Speaking of instate games, the doctor told Council he would be out 4 or 5 weeks, so it's likely he will miss the game against us on Dec. 6th.

And if we're going on Gonebarongone's reasoning, Malone and Nik should never shoot because they have zero years left after this year.

Billyboy78

Dan Hurley himself said that we're going to have to rely on the perimeter game because we have no post game. This is the coach who is working with these kids every day in practice. He sees first hand that Hare, Brooks and Aaman do not have any post moves. If you watch pre-game warmups, you see Jim C...

Billyboy78

I read somewhere that he's going to decide in November. I don't know if that means he will sign during the early period or give a verbal some time this month.

Billyboy78

Isn't it possible that the shooting % is low because we don't have good shooters? I think we have streaky shooters who are capable of getting hot. But do we have any consistently good shooters? Munford shot a good percentage in game 2 but most were baskets driving to the hoop. He is 3-19 from deep i...

You're right. I've got my days all mixed up.

Today is the day (Tuesday, not Wednesday). We could use a little positive news right now.

Billyboy78

Give the kid a chance. He is finally receiving the coaching he never had last year. Although come Sunday (if) we go 0-2 at Mohegan I am sure Rod and others will be calling for Hurleys head. I don't think anyone realistically expects them to win a game at the Mohegan. In fact, looking at the schedul...

Powell is also a liability defensively when playing against a talented point guard who is 6 inches bigger than he is (Powell is NOT 5'11").

Billyboy78

Holy Christ here we go...second game of the season and you r already ready to get rid of this kid.....should I start the Need A New Head Coach thread or should I just wait until Sunday night.??? Pathetic. Obviously we can't get rid of him. It's either Powell or Youncofski. Listen, there are tons of...

From what I've read, Va. Tech doesn't have any depth either.

I feel a Rhody win tonight....no reasoning behind it, just a gut feeling.

Billyboy78

All I know is that I tried to log on to something and it asked for my provider and ID# or something. DirecTV was not one of the ones listed, nor was DISH Network. So, apparently. it's not available to satellite subscribers.

Live streams of all the WatchESPN Networks are available at no additional cost to fans who receive ESPN as part of their TV subscription from Bright House Networks, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and Verizon FiOS TV.

Billyboy78

Difficult to compare given it is so early in season, but Va Tech has the edge in having home court advantage, they recruit ACC caliber players, they have a bigger back court than URI, and their starting guards can shoot - Robert Brown and Eric Green showed a combined 50% shooting against E. Tenn. S...

Billyboy78

Like us, they have a new coach and a lot of new players, so hard to predict what this team will be like. But, they do still have Erick Green, one of the best players in the ACC. At 6'3", he's a big sized PG and could be a matchup problem for Powell. They are not a big team though, with no one o...
