SEC in shambles!!

adam914

Poor Stetson!!

I wonder how long after the loss it’ll take Calipari to blame it on the “current state of the game” or whatever…

adam914

I remember when people said we would never get two bids...Not only did we get 2 bids, but both won! You can succeed in this league! Figure it out Archie!!!! Yep, we have a lot of fans on here that repeatedly refer to the A10 as a 1 bid league despite getting more than 1 bid 18 of the last 20 years.

adam914

Multi-bid league!!!

adam914

We all know it's bound to happen sometime, but when will we see the first Rhody player: leave Rhody, get better somewhere else, come back and play for Rhody? It’s going to happen eventually, it’s happening at other schools. A few former URI guys are currently on portal watch. It be a hoot on this b...

George Washington’s big Hunter Dean went to LSU and only averaged 4 pts / 3 rebs, having interest from P5 means your looked as valuable Another cautionary tale of A10 to P5, Josh Nickelberry. Started at Louisville, no minutes. Two years at La Salle, 25 mins a game, 11 ppg. FSU this year, 9 mins a g...

Go Grambling! Nice comeback win.

adam914

Yeah, losing good assistants always has and always will be the norm for URI. I'll take it over the alternative which is a staff nobody else wants.

Haha for sure. I still anticipate he'll be gone eventually.

adam914

He ain't gone yet at least...

adam914

People are going to call me naive for this take, and they're probably right, but I would blame him. 16 months ago he got show caused and was unemployable in college basketball. Archie, Thorr, and the University stood by him when they had every right, and reason frankly, to fire him. Fast forward to...

Foumena. 6’10, 3 years left, showed flashes this year. He may end up at a better program and therefore end up with a bigger NIL deal by default, but I don't think he is leaving because he is expecting a bunch of teams to being lined up with huge money offers for him to pick from. Of the schools on ...

adam914

This is all that is relevant regarding the NIL https://youtu.be/FCgy0dphOGc Which of the URI players in the portal so far do you think are leaving because they are expecting a large pay day somewhere else?

destroyed it

what a shame

You had a list of players you wanted kicked off the team. How are you going to get your wish without the portal?

adam914

Players we like: "Why won't they stay and develop here!" Players we don't like: "Get out of here, you'll never develop!" There are a lot of fans that really don't like the players... Exactly, we have a lot of the same people simultaneously up in arms about the transfer rules and...

adam914

My assumption is that the NIL payment commitments to players are for just one year. It looks like many that perform well in a season appear to think they should get more money and they enter the portal because that is more likely at another school. What then happens to players that did not perform ...

adam914

I didnt say we couldn't win the A10 and make the tourney. Going deep into the tourney is another story. The effects of unlimited movement plus the pay to play aspect hasn't fully kicked in yet, but it's about to. We've gone deep in to the tourney twice in like 120 years. Its not like all of a sudde...

adam914

I don't know, the sport doesn't seem that dead to me. Look at how much discussion there is already and we're just a few days in to the offseason. Normally it'd be dead right now!

adam914

What's it going to take to get our shit together? A pant load of money? A new coach who doesn't play the pack line? Any other ideas? Which of the players that have announced their transfer from URI so far do you think are leaving because they have big money waiting for them somewhere else? I can't ...

honestly who needs this shit.. every year you root for players that leave.. at what point do we have better things to do with our time pains me to say this.. just down on this entire portal thing give me back the good ole days where we can watch a player like dubs or whomever develop into something...

Yeah I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Kenny will not be joining Pitino's staff again. Just a reminder... https://www.leoweekly.com/news/rick-pitino-says-former-louisville-assistant-is-a-pathological-liar-and-ruined-his-life-15766263#:~:text=The%20Hall%20of%20Fame%20basketball,fateful%20recruitment...

adam914

Kenny leaving wouldn't surprise me. I always kind of assumed we'd be a quick stop over for him to rehab his image and get back to somewhere bigger.

adam914

Only minor surprise so far is Weston. But for the most part so far I just see a chance to get better.

adam914

Thats so great!!

adam914

BobfromMatunuck and Don_Keedick are definitely the same person, right?

adam914

Yeah putting fans that close to Hurley is dangerous!!

adam914

Let's go Hurley!!

This kind of mentality is the end of college sports. How can you compare grown men that have proven themselves and earned a JOB to lead a basketball team and program with all the responsibilities that come with that, to a kid who is playing a sport at a college (oh, on a full ride)? MOST successful...

Crazy how many shots it seemed like were halfway down and rolled out for Loyola. Great game though!

adam914

Looks like St. Joe's just might pull this off...

adam914

Can't really blame Luis if he is graduating and wants to go pursue a career overseas. For me, he was one that I was on the fence about. I do think he could be a positive vet presence and he always seemed to play hard out there, but I do think coming back would have to be in a reduced role a bit.

adam914

I went with 8. My guess is...

Fuchs
House
Green
Weston
Estevez
Dubsky
Hammond
Farrell

I could see maybe swapping Zek or Brown for Weston or Dubsky on this list.

adam914

With the least surprising announcement yet, Rory in the portal.

adam914

From the Projo today. Sounds like Archie wants to run it back with a good amount of the guys from this season. “We need to bring back a significant portion of this roster that’s about the right things, and we need our fans to start to grow with them a little bit. “We need our place to start to unde...

adam914

D for me. In my opinion F is only deserved for seasons that go completely off the rails in terms of off court issues or things like that. Or if we had someone lost even more games than last year. The D is for at least showing some very small improvement. Long way to go still though!

adam914

Not surprising, but too bad, I do feel like there is some potential there.

adam914

The NEC winner was always going to very good chance to play UConn. They are usually a first four team while UConn will be a Top 2 seed. Yep, they are already going to be matched up with one of the top seeds anyway, which is why I could see them leaning in to the storyline with Hurley/Wagner when de...

Yeah 100%, the committee loves to setup these storylines. I could definitely see them potentially trying to match up UConn and Wagner.

We've got to get to the point where we can have success of course, but once there sustain that success. With winning gets the NIL funds consistently high which ensures we keep getting better talent. I can only imagine what UConns NIL fund is, and will continue to be with their success level! Along ...

Join now, so we can all sit back and laugh about these last two seasons while we enjoy a beer together in the hotel bar at the site of our next NCAA tournament game.
