Anybody know what the student attendance was? I'm guessing close to 2000. DH was quoted as saying 1700 students showed up, I'm assuming that's an official number. Also, don't forget this is a holiday weekend so many students took off Thursday night or Friday after classes...just imagine when there'...

What is the logic here? Andrew Nichols was a massive project his first two years with Bonas and now he’s a pro... let’s dial back the crazy talk about booting a kid from the team.

...this was old school Hurls....apoplectic at times...whether he should have been or not, this was especially over the top...esp for a scrimmage... DH should be pissed, he said multiple times to me since school started this is the best a team has played in practice while he’s been here and then the...

With the school’s apparel deal out to bid this year, I wouldn’t expect new unis this season. If we do end up with new ones then I would assume that we’re staying with Adidas and I’m praying that doesn’t happen....

I think you’re being a bit shortsighted here, we should be doing more charity, no lose, games like this. The experience of this game will be huge going forward

We got 2 threads going hot here I guess. Confusing. I'll stick to this one..... Some random observations from great seats today! -Excellent event, regular competition. Good show. I'd guess maybe 2500 showed up. -Buffalo strong, fast and well coached. Perhaps a bit more "game plan" ready t...

Has anyone heard anything about there being any Open Practice coming up before the season starts? I didn't see anything mentioned on the thread but figured I'd ask. Wasn't there already one where there was reportedly 1000+ in attendance? Yes, back in August. That was right before the Bahamas trip. ...

Love his game. He kind of reminds me of KI. He's raw, but at his height he could end up being a matchup nightmare. I would be fine if we used our last scholarship on a high upside guy like this. This kid is most likely a redshirt type, but I’d be very happy with him being the 5th scholarship. I’ve ...

No scrimmage but there was a dunk contest and plenty of dancing lol

All I’m saying is there speculation and fact. More than most of my posts are based on facts, not speculation... I love a lot of your "facts." Yeaaah sounds to me like some white SK cop didn’t like that Coach Boswell was trying to keep his player out of trouble and took issue with it to Bo...

Why is David Duke blessed to be 18 years old today? These kids go a little over the top with the “blessed” comments. Well for one there’s a good % of young men in Providence who have not made it to that age unfortunately. It certainly is a blessing when you think of the senseless shootings that hav...

I don't understand this, we have 5 guards for essentially 3 spots on the court and 7 front court players for 2 spots on the court and yet we need another front court player over a guard? Really? What am I missing? There isn’t a single player like an Iverson or Akele, they’re game changing type play...

I don't know. When I read the police report I had some major concerns. Potential felony on the police report, right? Player potentially involved. Coach not behaving in best form with police and the general public present. Just a big sigh of relief from me and let's go Rhody with the 2017-18 season....

Maybe hold for a 5th year transfer guard like the kid a few years back?

Not that I don't think the cop's an asshole but Boswell only got his resisting arrest charge dismissed today. Even though his other charge will probably go away in a year, the judge/prosecutor must have felt like Boswell deserved at least one charge based on his actions. Do you realize how stupid/m...

Any potential since Doherty is so young for his grade that he would commit and prep a year? I've never seen him play but obviously a lot of people are extremely impressed by him. Young for his grade? The kid is like 19. He is a great Massachusetts D2 HS player, not sure he will be a contributor on ...

Looking ahead to '19, this could be a top target. Massoud is one of the top players in New England and he's only a junior. He's ranked 70ish in the country in the '19 class. Do we have any good connections with him? We have talked about Dana Tate being a leader type. Dana knows this kid pretty well...

I want Adams (assuming Hurley still does). BUT if he doesn't pick us i won't feel like it's much of a hit. We already have a terrific on paper class for 18. Adams would take our last scholly.
