No room for him now anyways, as nasty as that sounds

NorthernRamFan

This kid is going to have a cult like fan favorite following purely because he's been recruiting as hard as the staff. Love that Dana loves being a Ram!

Just was texting with an assistant from the Baltimore Catholic League and he mentioned that he was surprised we got Amir because he was bound to blow up. Really tore the league up last year in many ways. I think the hope is that these commits can do what all of our commits have been able to do, com...

The visit is still on; he should respect Huggins'. The guy is a living legend

Northern, are you saying that u hear there is low probability we don't land Harris? Northern has been clear that he is hearing we are the leader for Harris, we'll see if that comes to fruition or not. His sources are not URI related FYI. Lately they haven't been URI related, but I always double sou...

Also, I'd love to see this kid here. I was only sharing information from a very reliable source... the same one who told me Jarvis was definitely coming here when he was coaching in the prep ranks. My sources are always concrete solid, not slanderous...

I'm not worried about the NCAA, I'm sure they're not going to investigate off of something on a message board. I'm just saying maybe we shouldn't slander high school kids. Oh don't get my posts twisted, not slandering the kid, I'm saying it's his "entourage". Most of the time when kids ge...

How often does one a player pick a school based on his buddy recruiting him? Never Come on Iggy. Just last year Umass got the tandem out of Louisiana. Happens often. Higher levels happens every year from Oden and Conley to Tatum and Giles. Jabari Parker and the Minnesota point guard, forget his nam...

NorthernRamFan

Rumor has it this kid will be prepping most likely; Oak Hill, Brewster, NMH type of prep. I would think IF (there's very minimal chance from what I've heard) that we miss on Harris then the focus would turn to the freak athletic big man that is Chris Doherty!

NorthernRamFan

Using that old media room as film room preserves the sanctity of the players' space within the locker room. Another reason why DH found it imperative to get the chalk talk sessions/tape breakdowns out of the players "home"; guys need to know they have a place to just get away from all the...

Not only is Harris a crown jewel for a recruiting class, he is a crown jewel for a program. Pulling this off would be huge for the future of the team. Harris and Martin would be EC and Hass 2.0...but with the potential to be even better Tyrese is no EC and I never said he was... Harris = EC = 4*, p...

Would love to see Adams be the next shoe to drop. Kid is dynamic! Under the development of Hurley & Co. he could be a PRO!

Without a doubt! This kid is a program transformative type. He's a Hassan, EC, Dunn, Ryan Gomes... you name an impact level type player and Jermaine Harris falls right in line. He could be a Ray Allen at UConn type

Throwing out accusations that a school is going to have to pay to get a commitment from a player is pretty serious. I wouldn't be throwing that out there out the internet, but that's just me... I tried to be subtle, the info is from a very good source who's previously worked the "circuit"...

Nonetheless, very good get!

No doubt, but it's the least of my concerns based on his talents.

NorthernRamFan

Can't wait to get this kid within the borders of Rhody! Hopefully Tate & Martin can make a trip the same weekend so he feels the love from both our current guys & verbal commits!

NorthernRamFan

Well I was trying to be polite and just use symbols, but $$$=Cash... I've been told he's going to have a price tag to his commitment from his handlers, at least that's what my connect with his program has mentioned... DH doesn't do pay to play to my knowledge, for that I have a great amount of respe...

He could prep this year and then sign on as an 18' but we were out of the running for him early on. Uconn and Texas were in his final 3 I believe as will be considered favorites for him again. He can't prep, he has to either sit out and go pro overseas if he wants, transfer and be eligible next fal...

Has anyone here seen Noah Fernandes play? He'll be a junior at Tabor this year and he plays for Expressions. I saw him for the first time in a game in Fall River last night. Very good player. I wouldn't mind if we were involved with him. Noah is a great kid, remains to be seen if he's an A10 kid th...

IIRC, maybe 3 or 4 years ago, someone (RR12345?) was tweeting a recruit and our staff contacted him and told him to knock it off. I recall the same 78, told not to do it. The question NRF and Rambone is - at this time, does the URI Coaching staff want fans tweeting recruits? Not tweeting recruits? ...

Maybe it's the logo associated with your account, but this sounds like a back handed complement... he plays for a great EYBL program and MacDuffie is always competitive in the best HS league this country has, the NEPSAC!

Let's give this kid a reason to understand the craziness of the Ryan Center on game day here on the board, but more importantly in IG and Twitter!!

Somebody reported he may not want to go where Tate goes due to positional reasons I believe. I can see him going to Dayton. Just a random guess on my part though. He's not the same position as Tate, I think the person who posted that he wouldn't want to come here is misinformed. Just praying for hi...

They should be giving Hurley a 20 year contract!

I've never seen him play, but the person who told me he was going to URI is high in him. He said his ranking would be higher, but his team is not very good. His belief is that it may take him a while to adjust to the upgrade in level of competition, but that he will be a good four year player at Rh...

This is quite the new development. Surprising even. I personally think he won't seriously consider us because of his AAU connection... So, Herren won't either? Not the same situation.

The Reggie Lewis Center is also where Expressions has held practices and tryouts in the past. I'm assuming this is why.
