Good article by Finkelstein includes Archie 5. ARCHIE MILLER, RHODE ISLAND This was a tremendous off-season for the Atlantic 10. They added proven head coaches like Archie Miller, Frank Martin (UMass), and Fran Dunphy (La Salle), along with a well-known up-and-comer in Chris Caputo (George Washingto...

Guess (and it’s a guess) is that his visit is this Weds & Thurs.

I agree. It could be Kenny wanting to get his Rhody stamp on the DMV AAU programs.
Just letting them know that he will be paying attention to their players.

UMass didn’t “beat” Rhody for Diggins. Archie selected Freeman over Diggins.

Rhody83

Off-season is all well and good but 50% of the board is just responding to his Terry Hassett thought process That is because at this point there is very little to be excited about. I think we have an upgrade to Sheppard. I'm hopeful that Miller can recruit better talent to URI. So far it has been a...

Weird guy then because he tweets about recruiting news from small schools like UIC. Not sure why.

It’s not a fake account.

As a 5th year player El Ahmin was a huge disappointment. He disappeared so often.

Just realized seeing Femi’s profile that I watched him play at Springfield Commonwealth Academy. He was recruited to SCA by none other than Tony Bergeron. Bergeron started the SCA program. He was the head coach before leaving (the year before Fermi graduated) to UMass. Bergeron tried to recruit Femi...

I don’t see anyone thinking Carter is the best guard in the conference. He’s a solid piece and a long term replacement for Minaya. Coming in as a soph, there’s plenty of time to fix the broken jumper. Bryce Hopkins is the next domino. Expected to announce in the next week. Most all acknowledge next...

Rhody83

Rothstein did say two days ago the Femi was visiting RI this weekend. I don’t have anything to refute that. It just seems unusual that none of the traditional post on social media have been posted over the last two days.

BYU can just cancel that zoom. Archie will close Durugordon when he is on his (in person) visit. I wonder where BYU takes him for his zoom dinner.

Rhody83

My guess is he hasn’t visit yet. I think he is visiting this week as is Durugordon.

PC continues their reload. Another LaSalle big man

We still have 4 open starting positions. You still get the best guys you can regardless of position. Always nice to have two solid ball handlers on the team. We now have one and still need another. Agree with this. We talk about depth as if we have been to the tourney 3 years in a row. We have one ...

I would guess Archie will back off on Diggins now that Freeman has committed I don't think this will be true, supposedly he was a top priority for Archie to land I could see Diggins maybe wanting to back off from us after the Freeman commit, but we still have minutes available at guard for one of D...

I don’t think the Diggins visit is going to happen with Freeman committing.

Rhody83

Kid had to commit just to get a recruiting thread on KB.
Raising the standards

I would guess Archie will back off on Diggins now that Freeman has committed

However, a player or people representing him can get an unofficial from his current school/coach/AD as to whether they are going to oppose a waiver request to xyz school. To my knowledge the current school’s opposition would be the only reason a waiver wouldn’t be granted. So the paperwork becomes a...

I really like Archie's approach to the transfer market so far. Seeking talented players with 3 years of eligibility so they can all grow up together. Are you thinking he gets a majority of these players. Several play the same position. I see a few as either or. Hopefully they get 2 out of the 4 gua...

Rhody83

Freeman is from DMV (Huntington Prep). I believe he grew up in DC. Connected with Ish on IG. I am guessing Ish is the player assigned to Freeman for his visit.

Rhody83

None of the players we have heard URI is involved with are in Goodman’s Top 75 transfers.

Rhody83

Sean gives me big Malik Martin vibes(who is my favorite player on this current roster). Not sure how the two will generally fit on the court together next year if Sean does commit but I can see them absolutely terrorizing opposing teams on the offensive glass. Why didn’t Malik terrorize opposing te...

Dude it was a joke. You do a deep dive into Martin serving pizza on what is the best time of the year to do it LMAO

Frank is serving pizza to UMass students while Archie is recruiting.

Just some levity. Which Tre Mitchell are we in on

If I had a kid good enough to play div 1 ball, I would certainly want them to visit every place they could (if I couldn't lean them towards Rhody, of course). From a non-athletic search it is highly recommended to come up with a final list of no more than 5 to visit. I think it should be the same f...

RV has a source that has a connection to Tre. RV has spoken with that source.

Betrand committed to Rider.

Why wasn’t Dan Apodaca mentioned today?

He is on the floor participating in the practice being run by Archie a few days ago. He is the guy who looks a little like Archie.

Is he officially part of the Athletic Department staff and not MBB?

Currently the coach at National Christian Academy (private school in DC). Was COY in their league this year. His top player is Isaiah Coleman 6’5” SG ranked in the top 100 for Class of ‘23.

Do you mean a list of who donated at what level? No the list of like how much for Athletic Director, how much for Silver Ram, Gold Ram etc. And the benefits like parking. I was in Lot A for years until my daughter went to URI and my priority was tuition then. Now she's graduated so. I want this inf...

Endzone went from $170 to $185 Mezzanine/209 went from $275 to $325 Loge went from $375 to $425 Club went from $500 to $575 These are fair increases for the extra excitement this year should have compared to last year, though it might stop casual fans from making the leap before wins come The price...

Watched some of Archie’s introductory presser at Indiana and a few other interviews when he took the job. A couple of interesting points. He likes to have an open scholarship to have flexibility if something presents itself during the year. I would expect a max of 12 scholarship players. He said 9-1...

Expect Tom Ostrom to be the top assistant. Coached with Archie at IU and Dayton. Sat out this past year as well.

Rhody83

Surprised he is only a 3 star with a composite ranking of #216. Not as big of a recruiting win as I thought.
He can score.
Was really between PC and Vandy.

Not a good sign for Cox. Don’t even make his final 8. He played with Ish.
PC and VCU make it.

Reasons the level of excitement on recruits is down from prior years: 1) The team had a losing season last year and has been trending down for 3 years. 2) The transfer rule has changed the importance of recruiting HS/preps. It is a 1 yr commitment. More attention on transfer recruiting. 3) The HC on...
