I am liking the current state of affairs. Hopefully the new transfer rule gets approved and we can keep this team mostly intact going forward. Find a stud guard for 2021. They can’t save the scholarship. They need someone who is immediately eligible. Either a Grad Transfer, JUCO or a Fr. There is a...

I'm guessing it was explained to Ousmane that Berry might not come here before he committed. Then Berry really did a foot drag for some inexplicable reason. Anyway, "we got Malik Martin!!" Malik Martin wasn’t the second choice. Coach Cox wanted Malik over Berry. If Malik had said no, they...

Is this supposition, or inside scoop?

This isn’t supposition.

Berry gets back from Phoenix on Weds. so either Weds or Thurs he commits.

Rhody83

Yeah the twins would be eligible at the latest December after the 1st semester like Antwan Walker. This is assuming the transfer rule was not approved this June or a Waiver is not granted for immediate eligibility. I am not sure. They didn't enroll for the spring semester. so the earliest they can ...

Berry and Grad Transfer (eligible immediately and some experience). No way the scholarship stays open. That lesson was learned last year. Cox has to have insurance fir depth if the proposed transfer rule doesn’t pass. Twins wouldn’t be eligible until late Dec is rules doesn’t pass. He isn’t starting...

The answer is no.

The twins were Top rated as well. Odusipe is good, but he’s 6’7-6’8, and is still small, comparatively speaking. I don’t think he would be an immediate impact. The twins would be. Akeem is 6’8” 223 lbs. Just a reminder Cyril is 6’7” at best and didn’t weigh 223 lbs as a Fr. Harris is the tallest pl...

Tres is going to announce his decision when he gets back. Should be back the end of this week.

It's either going to be Ousmane and Odusipe

or Ousmane and the twins

Should be interesting how this shakes out. Either option isn't bad and has merit.

Bingo

So you would be ok with a bunch of 5’10” players

Odusipe would be a great compliment to Abou. I hope he is still considering URI. Extremely active, runs the floor. He and Abou would be a nice tandem for the next four years. He is still considering URI. I would say URI is in the lead. Many of these kids are uncertain what to do about the fact that...

That sucks.

Next year will be Sheppard’s 5th year. You get five years to play four. You don’t get six years to play four.

Meaning he would be a home run for us if we get him.

He isn’t a transfer. He is a high school Sr.

Berry is out in Phoenix visiting Jalen Lecque. I don’t think he is committing from there.

These two would be the next Has/EC. Easy dude, EC was a Top 100 recruit and Hass would have been if not for being injured his junior year and missing spring AAU. Unrealistic expectations which result in people losing their mind when they don’t drop 20 in their debut. Agree. Abou and Berry have grea...

Rhody83

Another comment solely about Abou... I LOVE that this kid uses the sky hook. Difficult to defend that. He reminds me of a more agile Andre Berry. Welcome Abou. He reminds me some of Dre - especially the soft hands. He doesn’t have Dre’s outside touch. He is more of a down low player offensively and...

Rhody’s competition for Berry is Vanderbilt. They haven’t offered yet but are supposed to. So, he's waiting for that offer? That's why no commitment to us yet? No. I don’t think he is waiting. Per Weds he was going to post a commitment soon. Not sure what soon means. He is now being recruited by Ab...

Berry is not a PG. He is a SG. Recruiting source (not URI related) who has contacts with Scotland coaches told me today that he would be really surprised if Berry didn’t choose Rhode Island. Correct. He is a SG. As is Leggett. I think we will continue to run a 2G system with no real true PG. both o...

I really like Abou. I was sitting next to TJ and Austin 2 1/2 weeks ago watching Abou and Berry play in CT. He has offensive skills. I think I posted this before that Todd Quarles (Expressions owner) was talking to Austin about Abou. Todd thought he was a great fit. Abou didn’t play for Expressions ...

Rhody83

On a separate confusing note. Does anyone know if Quante Berry is Tres little brother? Same home town and both with BMaze.

Rhody83

Rhody fans go on Twitter and pump up Tres. He is committing soon.

Rhody83

correction. Not committed yet.

Rhody83

I'd double check your information, as he spent his freshman and sophomore year at St. Mary's Ryken. He left St. Mary's Ryken after his sophomore year due a coaching change. The Ryken coach upgraded positions, moving to a better job in the conference at St. John's. Ryken is typically a bottom dwelli...

McRam, the circumstances are:
His mother and father think he is an NBA player.
5 different teams in 5 years.

Ramster, there is definitely a risk with Elijah Wood and the staff knows it.

Rhody83

I think they have to adapt to the new ways with at least 2 transfers. Tough to predict what direction and they just need some good players at this point I was told by a staff member that they are switching the priority to transfers going forward. This Spring maybe a transition from Fr recruits to t...

I will make a friendly wager with anyone that Long ends up at a lower rated school than URI.
He wasn’t a great recruit and if he wants starter playing time he will need to go to a lower level team.

Rhody83

Not really that shocking since his dad came on here last year when it looked like Shepard and Walker would be eligible all season and Tate would be in the rotation, and was talking wild shit like Long was going get 30 minutes a game and shock the world or whatever. Long is a nice player and does a ...

As they go thru high school, prep school and AAU they get fed bull shit by people around them that they are “good enough to play in the League”.

He family is delusional. Thought he should’ve got more playing time this year.

At the risk of sounding greedy, DC, how about: Odusipe, Berry, and Ousmane? I think the staff is gunning for two bigs. One isn’t enough. The twins offer that out the gate. Odusipe, Berry and Ousmane is less likely. So Berry and the Twins? I think they have to get Berry. Odusipe would have been the ...

Initial schools with interest are a big drop off from UConn for Gilbert. Still early though.
