Preston Murphy and some of the guys used to play there occasionally back in the day. When I was in high school, some of my class mates would talk about it (grew up in Narragansett).

The Dude

Lots of respect for Cox and any other dark skinned person who has been treated in such a poor manner simply for being. It's a sad state of affairs in this country. Things need to change in a major way.

The Dude

How good this year's team becomes is basically going to come down to Harris, in my opinion, since he's our only real big guy this year. I view Walker as more of a power forward than a center, even though he'll probably play in a center-like roll at times I would imagine. Going to be interesting. I c...

A positive tweet about Rhody, and the first response to said tweet is a Friar troll.

Those people are absolutely pathetic.

You smell that? It smells like Friar fear.

Mark Pope is building something big there.

So is URI/Cox.

As long as it's not the lawfirm of Dewey, Cheatem, & Howe, sounds good to me.

The Dude

Very, very smart move by Fatts in my opinion. He's only going to get better. Enjoy college, improve your game, & get a better shot at the NBA with an additional year of experience & improvement. Wise decision! Love watching Fatts play! Happy to see him return!

The Dude

Wow! So glad Ish is alright! The shooter must've unloaded about half a clip. Hope Ish stays safe!

The Dude

After looking at the stats...(injury period included). This guy appears to be wildly inconsistent. He can light you up and go 3-5 in 17 minutes just as easily as he can go 0-3 in 4 minutes. If you look at both college seasons, there are a lot of 1-4, 0-3, 1-6..type of numbers and then he'll have a f...

The Dude

I don't see the downside to staying. He can only get better. Guys can get injured anytime, whether in the pros or in college or walking down the street and stepping in a pot hole, so I don't place much stock in the whole injury excuse. Another year of basketball at URI would do him a lot of good in ...

The Dude

Great to hear he'll be back! Much love for Jermaine! Come out guns blazing next season!

The Dude

Can we pin the Keany excerpt to the top of the board?
This is already getting buried. Seems a shame to waste a good recruiting tool & some valuable history notoriety for people visiting this board.
Should I start a poll?

The Dude

Their mom and the twins themselves seem to get it. No need to be selfish. Want to win championships? Want to make a name for yourself? Do it TOGETHER! You need a deep team to be able to go deep in the tournament. You need a deep team to withstand the grind of a long season. Guys need to be a TEAM! E...

The Dude

Hey, hey, hey...Rick Pitino sends out an email to everyone who enters the portal. URI only sends it out to 75%. We have standards.

The Dude

I'm not sure about this guy. One of the ESPN articles state that he had been disciplined 3 times last season and held out of the starting line up 3 times. He was suspended for the game against Michigan for the one incident we've heard about (leaving the scene of an accident). I think we need guys th...

The Dude

Love Fatts! If transfers don't have to sit out this coming year, I don't think the guy has anything to lose and everything to gain by staying here one more year. We love him! He'll have a loaded roster and solid shot at going out with an A10 championship and deep NCAA Tournament run. He'll also have...

The Dude

Excited to see him play! Hope he is as committed to Rhody as we are! Players can build their game & name here! No need to go anywhere else.

The Dude

Moderators ....think we should take this excerpt and then make it it's own locked topic that's pined at the top of the message board for eternity, so anyone visiting this board knows the historical importance of URI basketball (such as players, prospective players & their families, other A10 fa...

The Dude

Sending more love for Harris! Hope he's doing well!
I assume I'm on the right thread. Haha.

The Dude

Who doesn't like Bacon?

The Dude

I have a feeling I'll still be waiting a while for the announcer replacement. (sigh)
An assault on my ears. The guy is really bad, but I know he has some supporters. One can dream.

The Dude

Oh man. This kid is going to get 2 minutes a game at best. He isn't even the 9th or 10th best player on the team. Just a bad move in my opinion. What a shame. Guy is hitting the Koolaid hard!

The Dude

Oh man, he'll be riding the bench at Kentucky. I have no doubt Toppin is talented, but there is a sharp difference between the kind of talent I saw from E.C., Terrell, and even Dowtin as Freshman than what I saw from Toppin. Toppin at the moment is a slightly more well rounded Lamont Ulmer. He has a...

The Dude

Hi everyone - Appreciate you reading the Martins interview... more stuff coming soon from Yurview/Cox as we're all in full quarantine here. Let me clarify my tweet posted above. There's nothing veiled about it; I meant it matter of fact. There are two sides of spectrum emerging on this recent run o...

The Dude

Sending out some positive vibes & love for our boy Harris! Hang in there! Roller coasters can be terrifying and fun at the same time. In good hands with coach Cox.

The Dude

Would be nice to get Odusipe! Time will tell. We have a coach who can develop players according to Hassan, one of the best bigs to ever play at URI, so why not...

The Dude

After reading through the Malik Martin & Hassan Martin interview. It's nice to finally hear from a former player & Rhody great about how they feel about our current coach. In a time when people are transferring out of the program, it's nice to hear from someone who knows what it takes to be ...

The Dude

Great quotes that epitomize the kind of players we love (in my opinion): "Anyone who watches either of us play is going to point us out and say ‘those are players who do not want to lose the game." Malik (referencing him & Hassan) "The tenacity and pride — we both have that same g...

The Dude

This makes zero sense. This team was pretty stacked on paper. Why go to a power 5 conference if you're about to be on a team that could win a lot of games and "potentially" make a deep tournament run. I just don't get it. They'd still get a ton of exposure and have a shot at the NBA. Examp...

The Dude

Here are a few possible scenarios for minutes: 40 min per game. 12 man rotation: 5 Starters - (say 2 get 28min & 2 get 24min & 1 gets 20min) 7 Bench guys - (say 1 gets 18min, 1 gets 15min, 1 gets 12min, 2 get 10min, 1 get 6min, 1 gets 5min) 11 man rotation: 5 Starters - (say 2 get 28min &...

The Dude

Personally, I don't think the Twins will cause Harris to lose minutes. I think he'll still get plenty at the PF spot instead of the center spot. Most of last year's starters played a lot of minutes last year and it was likely a bit too many in my opinion (not in Harris's case though). I think there ...

The Dude

We aquired the Twins after they left Maryland. We beat Vandy out for Berry (I think that was one of his offers). Now both schools are coming for Akeem. Intriguing. Can we go 3 for 3? Lets go Akeem! He'll get some great work in against the twins in practice and become a stellar player for it. Then he...

The Dude

I hope Harris stays. In my opinion, if I had to take a decent guess, I'd say this is what players like Harris are probably having a hard time understanding about this fan base: We see he's struggled a bit and we point his flaws because we had high hopes for him & still do. I feel like we're a &q...

The Dude

Only good things can be gained through a little competition. His game might be different from the twins and could be a better fit in certain situations. Also, he'll become a great player by having to face the twins in practice everyday. Also, will be a team poised to do great things like win the A10...

The Dude

Glad to see he's still onboard! Excited to see him play with Wood, Legget, & rest of the team! Rhody is looking really dangerous now! They are one big man away from being stacked and super threatening to opponents on paper.

The Dude

I have yet to see the stars align where all the players/transfers we want to be eligible in a season actually end up being eligible. Not getting my hopes up.

The Dude

Martin has talent, but that's it. His attitude has always appeared to be an issue with him. It shows on the floor. After reading that comment in that article it's crystal clear that he has a lot of growing to do as a person. TJ was the ultimate never say die competitor. He gave his all every time he...

The Dude

Well Ousmane is gone I guess. This is getting absurd.

The Dude

Think we could play a 3-2 zone with the twins down low? Oh man, what a show that would be!

The Dude

What impressed me the most in his highlight video was his ability to contort his body, so that he squares up to the basket at the last possible moment before releasing his shot while either leaning to one side or fading away or both, while jumping. That takes some kind of athleticism and focus. Oh y...

The Dude

I thought you guys were joking about Dick Hole until I saw the post with the photo. Two priceless. WOW! I knew a guy with the last name Puppi (pronounced: poopy)

The Dude

The Dude

Locked and loaded baby! Going in guns blazing next year!

The Dude

Bummer. We have one scholarship left right? Really would've loved to see him play here. I wonder if Cox feels he's about to get someone else for the last spot.

The Dude

Looks like the kind of passer that gives the ball to guys in rhythm, right when they want it. Good outside shooter as well. It's tough to hit 3's while still moving forward when shooting and he looked like he hit one or two of those with minimal difficulty.

The Dude

Ok so here's my opinion on Wood after watching more video: Positives: - Good, smooth 3pt shot - Good passing vision - Good free throw shooter Needs work: - Decision making on when to drive to the paint - Defense against competition like McEachern wasn't great - Loose handle on the ball (good hands, ...

The Dude

How potentially dominant could a class of: Legget, Ousmane, Berry, & Odusipe be? Alright, alright, alright! Add Gage to the mix as a transfer and we're cooking with gas! You guys are absolutely sleeping on wood? It's a disgrace. While I agree with this sentiment, dont forget about wood! He's a ...

The Dude

I think the issue with Jermaine last year finally became apparent in the Dayton game (think it was Dayton...one of the games towards the end of the season at home). He was gassed after 5 minutes on the floor. Just doesn't have the cardio fitness. I saw flashes of him being able to dribble into the p...

The Dude

Love Fatts! Looking forward to seeing him in a Rhody uniform next season! He's talented, but if Terrell went undrafted, so will Fatts at this point in time. I believe Terrell was the complete package after his last year at URI. Meaning he could hit a shot from anywhere on the floor, but he did lack ...
