Has nothing to do with anything.

Just coincidence.

Posted on GoRhody. Cox has known him quite a while.

CTRamfan

Prayers coming your way.....

CTRamfan

As many as it takes.///////maybe like his predecessor........

Preston is on the Creighton roster !

Evan if it was possible, do you honestly think The Board of Directors would be approached on the hiring of a third assistant coach for the men's basketball program?.................really !

CTRamfan

I'm wondering if a consideration might be - If Carroll isn't 100% yet, that they might be concerned if they don't hire a more experienced assistant now?

I believe TJ will be promoted, but it might be the next opening.

CTRamfan

Congratulations on your 10,000 post.............much good reading over the years.

CTRamfan

Al is not a recruiter.

CTRamfan

83 agree,..............absolutely true......and even more money into their pockets

CTRamfan

Maybe Cox is hoping he returns?

CTRamfan

Great hire !.........Has been a success every step of the way. I was wondering if she crossed paths with Tom G at Virginia.

CTRamfan

By "prestige", I was referring to the "all sport" picture....It's lot more fun to watch football in Sun Devil Stadium, than on the "roof" at Georgetown. Next compare baseball, track, tennis, golf, alumni involvement, endowment, etc............It's a different world in t...

I don't see Bobby leaving ASU for the following reasons.......1. "The Valley of the Sun" Is easy living, and Sky Harbor is only 5 miles away. 2. ASU in the PAC 12 is a much more prestigious job compared to the reinvented Big East today. I can see him in the ACC or SEC some day if the right...

CTRamfan

starting with the Davidson game on 2/22, we shot 56 for 158, in the last 8 games of the season ......35.4%

CTRamfan

WOW !...........that's stepping up in a big game. 30 of his teams 58 points.

CTRamfan

I would think Marcus Reilly will be considered............Has now been through a few years of D1 recruiting cycles. [with what appears to be success]......previous successful H.C. experience. [granted, at a lower level].........Question, would he be a stabilizing influence with the players?

CTRamfan

Thanks Coach.......An enjoyable year. Thanks to the players as well. Our future is bright. This thread showed utter disrespect for you and the team. I played in H.S and college, and you had to believed in the coaches.............I'd like to know why the posters thought they knew more than you, what ...

CTRamfan

Beyond being a nice man to be around, he is refreshingly humble.............

CTRamfan

We have a similar situation here in Connecticut...........Yale is having a terrific year, but nary a mention in the Hartford Courant.

CTRamfan · Re: 3/1 | Dayton | 7:00PM (ESPN2) A very realistic appraisal !

A very realistic appraisal !

The team is performing at the level I expected...............but, some areas that need improvement have been obvious. OFFENSE 1. The number of 3 point shots Fatts is taking has been reduced. 2. Tyrese's minutes have increased as the season has progressed. 3. There have been fewer passes to Langevin...

2012-2013

Line up - Powell, Mumford, Malone, Buchannan, Hare, Malasevic, Aaman...........62 ppg, 40% shooting, 32 % from 3.

W 8 - L 22, 3 - 13 IN A10

CTRamfan

A little bit of a lotta things need to be fixed. Before the season I figured 16-14, so I am not surprised that we are 12-12 at this point. It is obvious that we are young. It is also obvious that our returning vets are not surrounded by EC, Jared, Stan, and Garrett, who each helped draw defenders a...

A narrow point of view..............Having commuted to Keaney, Providence DDC and The Ryan Center for URI basketball games from Connecticut for 33 years, I have an all-URI team of Connecticut natives. ......Kenny, Jiggy, Sly, Keith and Tyson with Lamont first off the bench. All coached by Tom [from ...

CTRamfan

Well, we did correct some problems against St. Louis.........Cyril dishing out for assists...............But, here I sit at 8:30 Saturday night after the Dayton embarrassment, with a few thoughts. First, I can only make an observation. You are an experienced coach, and in no way would I question you...

CTRamfan

The team averages 1.14 points per shot. [about average]

Fatts average for the year to date is 0.94 pps
Fatts average the last five games is 1.15 pps.

CTRamfan

The first time I met him, he just was different than some of his predecessors. He makes people around him comfortable.......Our thoughts were that he would be a great role model for the young men he was coaching.

CTRamfan

They played hard and didn't give up. A work in progress after losing five of the top seven players. The defense if fine. CL and JD are fine. I can't blame the offensive problems on Fatts alone. Players 3 thru 8 have never started as D1 players before. The offensive sets have been kept simple as a re...

CTRamfan

I watched the game.......a snowy night in Connecticut, and not much else to go.

I checked Verbal Commits later, and found he has 5, 4 star recruits, and 4 three start recruits on his team. He had a lot of skilled players to work with.

CTRamfan

1. 16-14
2. 10-8
3. 71.22
4. Fatts 13.9
5. 5749

CTRamfan

83, thanks for all the info and incite................Could I ask, are you a super fan, or is your monitoring recruiting, part of employment?
Thanks again.

CTRamfan

Yeah, the rosters Penders and Harrick inherited were pretty good....../If some of the frosh come thru, this year can be special as well.

CTRamfan

Our first year as a season ticket holder was Brendan Malone's last..............................I can't think of a first year coach here since then having a better staff in year one.

CTRamfan

You gotta wonder how Thorr thinks about all this? How he thinks about what? About everything since March 20, and the three previous contract negotiations of Hurley's. Does he think everything negotiated was in good faith? Did Thorr anticipate the staff changes when Hurley left? Did Cox want to esta...

CTRamfan

You gotta wonder what Thorr thinks about all this?

CTRamfan

Agreed............you guys have a hill to climb Agreed on Hurley as well, The AAC may be his ceiling......I felt we were "a one trick pony" under Hurley. Good coaches learned to defend us, as witnessed in the last ten games last year. His seeming inability to change defenses was the bigger...

CTRamfan

I like David Cox. I think his philosophy and demeanor are a perfect fit here. I met him four years ago at a meet and greet in Watch Hill. Very easy to be around. He should have a good future here. Although his predecessor had a good run, Coach Cox may have a better long term result. Time to turn the...

CTRamfan

We were there.....he was hitting them from the corners. What a game.

CTRamfan

PROTOCOL.............the urgency that posters on a fan based blog seek information, is not necessarily within the legal protocols of state employment contracts.

CTRamfan

He graduated Sacred Heart H.S. in Waterbury in 2016..............He has two years left.

CTRamfan

Here is a stretch.........

He is a good student, maybe Yale, three miles away with an academic scholarship.

CTRamfan

Team by team -my guess as to A10 wins in 18-19 TEAM...........17-18 WINS..........18-19 WINS-GUESS ST JOE..........10.....................12 ST LOU..........9......................12 R.I...............15.....................11 DAVIDSOON.....13....................11 ST B..............14.................

CTRamfan

That will be interesting to follow......PC and URI offered Timberlake, along with a number of P5 teams. It looks like he is a 2020 grad. A lot could happen yet, but it sounds like his current h.s. coach thinks he needs more academic and athletic development.

CTRamfan

Ryan played 80 minutes in the first nine games, then only 20 the rest of the season.

It could be with six guards the plan was to play mostly one big.....Cyril, Andre and Nicola rotated thru the front line.

CTRamfan

Well, as luck would have it we are tied for 7th.......I can't find mention of a tie breaker on the A10 website. Not sure if it is a play in game, or what.

After the slow start to the season, we ended up 13-11 in conference, a top 100 rpi, and two wins over nationally ranked teams.
