Former URI assistant Desmond Oliver fired as ETSU head coach after 2 seasons.

Iggy1979

Coaching stability will help.

Hobbs had a great run at GW until his players tuned out his yelling and screaming. Might be worth a shot.

Iggy1979

I would add Bilau to Blue Man's list, which means 3 open spots. One G, one wing, one big, at last two of them scorers.

Iggy1979

Ideally, a good 5 off the bench

This would be a huge get but?

Phil's Diner?

Iggy1979

That wasn't my assessment but a statistical analysis that had Ish as the third most improved A10 player and Martin and Carey as regressing.

Iggy1979

One player (Ish) improved significantly. One player (Bass) incrementally. Two players (Martin, Carey) regressed. Not a great result for the staff.

Iggy1979

So all we need is consistency from the inconsistent? When you put it that way, I'm in!

Iggy1979

How bad could he be on D?

Iggy1979

It’s an interesting juxtaposition on how we view the year coming in to the season versus now. Lest we forget it’s a rebuilding year. One of heavy roster turnover. I hate losing as much as anyone but I would highlight that we have six people on the team who have never played college basketball befor...

Iggy1979

Samb is playing behind Alex and Rory. I would take that as bad news.

Iggy1979

There's only one issue: the quality of the team on the floor. The rest of this is just noise.

Iggy1979

Stewart and Hutch at least showed some energy in this game. Start them for what's left of this season. Reduce Martin and Carey minutes.

Will women outdraw men this week?

Iggy1979

Congrats Brad. Well deserved. You made NK proud.

Iggy1979

No way it stays under 10

Iggy1979

Cant see URI hitting 60. 50 will be a challenge.

Iggy1979

To add to Blue Man speculation of maybe getting a Seton Hall transfer. Woodward was lead recruiter for Jaquan Sanders, 6-4 G, 4 stars. He stayed after Willard left but is playing less and less. Players in this situation often transfer.

Iggy1979

Hate to say it but this staff has not lived up to its reputation as recruiters. Of the 8 players they brought in do any excite you? Must do much better with 2nd class. Come on, how much time did he have to put this class together. You don’t recruit people overnight. As he who won’t be mentioned use...

Iggy1979

Not boxing out FT shooter in last game mightve been last straw.

Must do much better with 2nd class.

Iggy1979

Carey stays on my 'not an A10 player' list.
Stewart moves up to 'maybe' list.

Iggy1979

Scholarship or preferred walkon?

Iggy1979

You want to know the real reason the A-10 has started to suck? It's best coaches since Dan left have been Mark Schmidt, Mike Rhoades, Anthony Grant Keith Dambrot, Chris Mooney and Travis Ford Now what Schmidt has done at St Bona is great, Dambrot does great with less as well, but the other guys? Me...

Iggy1979

Recruiting thread, my lonely eyes turn to you.

Iggy1979

Still curious where Makszin and Brown will end up. Looks like Makszin's best offer is Ball St. Otherwise a bunch of FCS teams.
Brown was talking Rutgers and Florida St. But why would they be interested in someone with 10 tackles.

Iggy1979

As we know, I’m very much team “we’ll be good when we’re good.” But I’m looking forward to when Bassy is either buried on the bench, in the stands, or somewhere else. Kid is on the RI Mount Rushmore ratio of PT to terrible along with Jon Clark and Jarelle Reischel. Thomas is low hanging fruit. Ther...

Iggy1979

I see 3 definite A10 caliber players: Leggett, Bilau and Freeman.
Definite no's: Thomas, Martin, Stewart, Samb, Carey.
The rest are question marks.

Iggy1979

Kenny Johnson's job is to bring in players. Hopefully that happens.

Iggy1979

Brown recruiting CT POY John Neider. Rhody?

Iggy1979

I still haven't recovered from that finish. So many unforced errors.

Iggy1979

Big supporter of URI and the construction of the Ryan Center. Was always nice to see him in his seat.

Iggy1979

Still believe in the staff but there's not a player on this team without a major flaw in their game. This is a bad team and I'm sure Archie knows it.

Iggy1979

The 3 RBs are exciting additions. Still QBs in the portal. Is URI talking to some or are they happy with what they have? Unusual not to add a QB every class.

Iggy1979

I think the 3 DL might be overly optimistic if they think they're moving up.

Iggy1979

He's struggled a little as the competition gets better but he's still averaging 12 and 5 and shooting 82 % FT. He wanted to come to URI but in the end Archie said no.

Iggy1979

I’m totally confused on what people expected. We are very young and very inconsistent. We played a good team today on the road and some are saying it’s a bad loss. We were projected to lose! You’re not going to see this team play great basketball for 40 minutes this season. I love the way Weston re...

Iggy1979

They announced Pappy Owens every year. Bad look IMHO.

Former URI great Tyson Wheeler..... did I miss that?

Outfought, outhustled, outplayed, outcoached.

The criteria includes coaches.

Iggy1979

Are we putting coaches up there? One of the criteria is you had to have graduated from URI, so the only coach that would really fit the bill as someone who graduated from here and made a tournament as head coach would be Ernie Calverley, correct? If you ignore the graduate from URI part of things f...

Iggy1979

I'm worried about Freeman that he's not well suited for the 2. Not big (I question 6-2), no game off the ball, didn't defend well.
I think they'd be better with him at the 1, insert Carey into starting lineup and use Thomas off the bench.

Iggy1979

Reports on Ish are the most disappointing. I think I see him as a TJ : Tough defense, high energy, occasional offense.

Iggy1979

1. Bill is not the problem.
2. I'd like to think the emails had something to do with the Tuesday story. That's why it's important to show that there are football fans out there who want coverage.

Iggy1979

Not one word in today's paper about win over Monmouth. They even chose not to run the short AP article available to them around 5 pm. Please complain to Bill Corey bcorey@providencejournal.com. whether you read the Projo or not we shouldn't stand for this kind of disrespect. If we don't complain not...

Iggy1979

My apologies if I read something into that comment that wasn't there.
