Do you really think we’re following that rule? We definitely are not along with every other collective. They just have to put that on the website to save face. I mean we definitely are following that rule. Stone or our big donors aren't out there recruiting. The collective's job is literally to col...

Since the success of a team now depends on donations from fans, the teams with the more rabid fan bases will always be the better teams. A team like Dayton averages 13,000 some fans. If one third of them donate, they're getting donations from 4300 fans or so. We average 4000 fans. If one third of u...

Just signed up - I am in the help the NIL - cant take the bottom 4 in the A10 anymore - but look at UMASS they had the two day bye. They are back at home again just like us.hh Would rather win 20 games, finish 4th, lose in the quarters than go 12-19 and lost in the play in. Yeah if you had the hope...

From the website Q&A: DOES RHODY EXCELLENCE WORK WITH RECRUITS OR PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETES? No – In compliance with NIL regulations, Rhody Excellence will not meet with, contact, offer a deal, etc. to any prospective student-athlete. Until a student-athlete has signed their NLI and/or the i...

For some reason the media LOVES PC, can't say enough about them every game. They're a fun team with a star player and an engaged fanbase? They were kind of the talk of the offseason when in a historic, literally never seen before situation, the coach who grew up in the college's home town, built th...

8jcvrl.jpg This is so backwards. What happened to just having a rooting interest in a team/school? Why are we being asked to financially back the team? Like someone said, the Boston Celtics don’t ask for donations. The funny thing is that we've always been asked to "financially back the team&q...

Sure, some coaches stay at a college for a long time, as long as they get an extension and more money. And they don't jump around to 2-3-4 schools in 5 years because they have a contract that guarantees they'll get paid or get a hefty buyout. They have an incentive to stay. I'm sure more players wo...

Louisville is a dumpster fire. Pitino will have taken 2 different teams to the NCAAs 3x. Since he left Louisville has had 5 different coaches.

I would hope that the people who complain the most are also the ones putting up some dough. This is like the people who complain about their kids rec league but don't volunteer, or people who complain about their local elected officials but don't vote.

Blue Man

D Some credence in the defense by Blue. But IMO too many misses with the guys that joined after the first year which IMO doesn't really count. Still all in on Archie but as others have said this is a very very big offseason for him and this program. And I think that's a fair debate to have. I'm jus...

Fou leaving just hurts a little more because how many legit 6'11" guys with some decent athleticism do we get around here? They don't grow on trees. Yeah but same thing with Jordan Hare. I don't remember all this bellyaching when Dan told him to GTFO before the first game of year 2. Sponge Hol...

Blue Man

I'm giving Archie a C. When you look back at it - with the deficiencies this program had/has, this is to be honest where you can be expected to be in year 2 of a rebuild. In the new world of NIL, we barely had any last season (and literally zero the year before), so we couldn't pay the players we wa...

Blue Man

When one of our better players is in such a hurry to announce his intention to leave, that's never a good sign. I mean who’s shocked? For all we know he told Archie he was leaving 3 weeks ago. How would it look then if Archie was playing the guy who quit on the team? For all his upside and talent, ...

No polls until the pain is less fresh.

Wait til at least the A10 tourney is complete for us to get a more honest, less emotional grade.

Blue Man

Regarding the backcourt, I'd prefer Luis to leave over House. We're playing St Louis, one of the worst team in the A10, and Kortright is struggling to bring the ball up, getting the ball stolen right over half court, can't make the easy pass, etc etc. Yea he's strong and can back down smaller guard...

We've got to get to the point where we can have success of course, but once there sustain that success. With winning gets the NIL funds consistently high which ensures we keep getting better talent. I can only imagine what UConns NIL fund is, and will continue to be with their success level! Along ...

From the Projo today. Sounds like Archie wants to run it back with a good amount of the guys from this season. “We need to bring back a significant portion of this roster that’s about the right things, and we need our fans to start to grow with them a little bit. “We need our place to start to unde...

Wagner just won the NEC and is headed to the NCAAT, presumably as a 16 seed that will play in the first four. I guess the only silver lining from this season is that URI defeated one NCAAT team ... safe to count this as progress? Actually kind of funny - for all the complaining about how "soft...

The nice thing is that we can all directly affect positive change by giving to NIL. Recruiting has changed. You can get guys who want to play for you, but you need to be close to other financial offers. There's a market. It's no different than any of us in our jobs - or any of us going to college. Y...

I don't know if it was one of our Keaney Blue members, but someone on twitter said he was threatened in private messages from some of our prominent donors after he criticized Archie. That is not good. I kinda love that. I'd rather have the donors completely aligned and behind the program and coach....

I mean if that were the case than why did EC come here? Dan was an aspiring coach who’s best collegiate accolade was a mid major finals loss. Some kids want to be the cornerstone and become a legend. Those are the kids you want. That was before $$ was dangling freely in front of them from many suit...

Estevez still looks like a freshman. I was hoping he would finish the year strong. Did you not watch the first half? He led the team in scoring... Archie then barely played him in the second. He looks much better on the defensive end than earlier in the year. He'll be a better player next year. Arc...

I was as excited as anyone when we hired grumpy, but I don’t care anymore what he says and how he seems to understand what is wrong. I only care that he fixes it….that is literally all that matters. And I don’t know if he even has a plan, since he couldn’t even give us a rough timeline, all he gave...

While encouraged by the effort, Zek single-handedly lost this game. Why he is in and Weston is out is beyond me. Everyone needs to figure it the fuck out this off season. Archie included. Fucking trash. Spot on. Archie sucked today. Absolutely awful. I won’t say he sucked, out of the half these guy...

Blue Man

I was prepared to lose. Just not like this. It’s an art form in how painful we make losses.

Bad day booze. Fuck everything.

Blue Man

Would like to know why Arch played Zek over Estevez or Weston.

That was the difference.

Blue Man

Up 4 to down 4 in 3:45. Pathetic.

Young teams don’t know how to win. Here we are again.

Let’s hope Hammond is the guy and the talent is upgraded significantly.

What just happened before that foul is exactly why we need a true point guard. Louis is just not cutting it as a 1. Slow walk up the floor followed by a lazy and bad pass into the post. Then to top it off his transition defense looked like he got stuck in the mud leading to an easy layup. I know it...

Ugh. Honestly, offensively we’ve moved the ball well and got open shots. We are just missing said open shots. And layups. Defensively we’re bad everywhere but when you play a team focused defense, one late guy can screw everything else. Fuchs and Brown are slow, lost, and shit defensively. Why they ...

We have below average coaching. They failed to bring talent here and they have so far failed to get the most out of them. Pathetic.

Yeah. Talent is different than being good.

Great thoughts and intel Ramster. One thing I will say re: capacity, is that if Rhody stayed in Keaney we'd sell out every game. Fordham staying in Rose hill and only recently able to sell it out (they had their most wins EVER last year) is more a commentary on their commitment to basketball (their ...
