Except maybe it is not? Got me if it is fake. Yea the Ruby Tuesday thing……..yea, no.

……..maybe. Do like what’s in that package.

OK, March 32nd, we have no announced commitment(s) of arrivals, yes, I am the old guy that doesn’t understand the nuances of the power play waltz…….shoot!

Is Bilau actually leaving? I imagine he gets another year. Nothing personal against Bilau, but I hope he's not being counted on to stay and provide meaningful minutes. Love his game, but he can't stay on the court. I am thinking given his Sr Night send off coupled with his lingering medical issues ...

I'm not trying to infer that anyone in this discussion is dumb or has a stupid take. I'm sorry if I came off that way. I'd say we have many different points of view and my personal point of view keeps evolving. We have boosters who are willing to donate substantial dollars into their favorite athle...

Totally agree, maybe for some it is the principle involved here. Call what you want, being shaken down, paying “students” already on free academic ride, let the employer pay the employees, on and on. It always comes down to consumer paying increased costs. Pay up, shut up, show up, wear Keaney Blue...

Unbelievable amounts of mental gymnastics to avoid giving $10 a month 😂 I'm sure you all don't blow more than $10 on unnecessary shit like alcohol, tobacco, weed, fast food, fancy clothes etc. I'm sure you are all incredibly frugal people that never waste money on anything! Especially not TEN dolla...

Funny off topic. Do we need a Rhody Investment help group also?

section(105)

The players need to be paid by those making the money on them. That seems like the logical solution…no? The players are fighting to become employees. If and when that happens NIL will probably go away. Something tells me fans like you will bitch about that too and whine about how that's going to ru...

section(105)

Question, sorry if this ground has been plowed. Can an NIL offer incentive bonuses, example regular season conference championships, from its NIL piggy bank?

section(105)

I guess our team will be the best our money can buy.

section(105)

Amen.

Here's the latest Portal Tracker for Rhody: Portal-Tracker'24.png This is just what we had. Yuk.. funny I was wondering where the request was for season ticket renewal seeing women's came out earlier this week. It actually was in my spam folder this morning. I had all I could do to not respond who ...

Is that your question to Stone?

Timely, in a just landed URI News, Rhody Today weekly Update article about Rhode Island’s University. I cannot cut and paste here.

Bravo to Dan Hurley whose UConn team have dominated in the NCAAs so far, winning by 32, 17, and 30. We can bask in some reflected glory of his achievement knowing he got his most important chops at Rhody. Hurley made the right decision in taking the UConn job and going to a place, not only for a bi...

He didn’t do much on defense. Can’t have that.

section(105)

I have zero expectations for next season, not for top, middle or bottom of conference. My trips in and out of Rhody Rehab has made me realize that I will continue to support Rhody hoops, via season tickets, following the revolving door of players, and make some small payment to the Collective. Take ...

section(105)

I have a sneaking suspicion that our bigger boosters realize just how important this offseason is to the future of this coach and program, and are or will step up to ensure Archie can bring in the talent he needs to get good again. Consider the alternative. It's not pretty. Two games vs.Vermont, Br...

Why is the focus just on high school players and college kids in the portal? Do any coaches go to men's leagues and see who is playing? I bet you could find some dudes who are 21 and balling, but just weren't interested in school or college a few years ago. With NIL, you could get some street playe...

It's going to be a real uphill battle. I don't think there are nearly as many "fans" out there that are enough of a URI basketball fan to donate as some think there are. Apart from people on this message board (and many of the "senior" season ticket holders who probably have no ...

section(105)

I hope Blue Man is right about Hammond. Archie has said that he's one of the best recruits he's ever got. I think we all need to stop pissing at each other about where we are as a program right now and how we got here. All that matters is where we go from here. The last 2 years are history, let's l...

No. It definitely had zero affect that the team we recruited had played zero minutes together, that our intended starters played maybe 1/3 of a season together due to eligibility/injuries, or that 86% of our roster had never played at the A10 or D1 level before. When does that ever matter? It's a t...

section(105)

Is it not obvious that the team just got demoralized as the year went on? They didn't handle adversity well, but there was plenty of talent to win more than 12 games. We saw these "untalented" players gel at times. They had no continuity, roster was in flux, the losses piled up and they h...

section(105)

I realize the roster, as listed above, will no doubt change. However as is, it leaves me with meh.

section(105)

That was my post, 02. I was joking around making light of the thought of him at PC. It was a tongue in cheek post. It shouldn’t reflect on BlueMan’s serious, educated negative opinion of Bassy. Just wanted to clarify unless I am missing the point ? Sorry, I think my sarcasm detector needed to have ...

Again, The only way you get Wheeler here is as HC. I mean why would he? I wish it was possible but Miller isn’t going to turn up the temperature on his own potential hot seat. Stop with the Wheeler fantasy. PM fantasy too. ( if I’m wrong plz bring Lilly with you Tyson 😆) Yes, the back to the future...

We can’t pay him enough?

Yea, saw his name in portal listings. Best going forward.

What did we do, sent him down to Single A ball for further grooming?

section(105)

Doubt there will be a show to wrap up the season and the path forward, regarding NIL, portal departures and arrivals, status of KJ etc. Don’t think one was scheduled. Archie playing cards close to his vest, as he should with so many significant unknowns. Maybe some some time down the road, when rost...

We have to, unfortunately, fit players into the NIL budget as a major consideration. Regardless of coming from higher or lower conferences.

section(105)

My level of confidence in whoever we get is not very high right now. Since just about every transfer we've gotten the last 2 years has been over rated. The proof is in the playing. I admit, Bone, that I am jaded as far as the portal is concerned. I am not high on lower level players coming in to ma...

Didn’t something similar happen with Ish? High praise from Archie, referred to him a warrior, quiet leader? Then portal.

Question 2. No.

With the way things are in the sport today and a new AD coming in, I wonder how much longer Schmidt decides to stay around in Olean ? Could he retire ? Could he go the Phil Martelli route (but via resignation vs firing) and take a big paying P6 assistants job to help a young coach with X’s and O’s,...

section(105)

Yeah no chance Dan is going to Kentucky. It’s UConn for life unless the Knicks come calling. That’s my prediction at least. My guess would be he has zero interest in coaching the pro game. News flash: He already is.... Yea, I guess. The semi-pro league(D1 colleges)still could be considered a coache...

Would like to see quick outlet pass to start the fast break, rather than simple hand off to ball handler…….but we are slow afoot…..real slow

And Princeton was coached by Pete Carill, Diggers best friend(Beacon, NY)) did sleep over in my parents house in EP. Used to shoot pool with Pete, away from camps, at local bars in PA. Amazing stick player. Fun times.

The Yale game is starting to feel like the near miss by Princeton vs. Georgetown game in PVD back in the 80s. Although the was a 16 vs 1 game I think?
