CBB coach says what he needs to say to recruit talent and rally his fanbase. CBB coach takes new job that he perceived as better. Nothing new to see here and Cooley didn’t do anything that countless others haven’t done before him. Especially Rhody fans who have seen it with Penders, Harrick and Dan...

Iggy1979

Coaches leave for better jobs/more $. It's arrogant for fans to be pissed.

Iggy1979

That URI is on so many lists is bad IMHO. I was hoping they'd target a few who were good fits and the staff had connections to. This scattershot approach shows desperate things are.

Iggy1979

Bigger schools not interested in a 2G who shoots 32% from 3.

Iggy1979

Northeastern would be perfect for Bassy.

Iggy1979

Hearing the biggest issue is NIL $. Georgetown has way more resources. Cooley is frustrated he's losing recruiting battles because of it.

Odd there's no mention on his Twitter

Iggy1979

Other than Carey I don't see others leaving.
Surprisingly there's no list of schools that have contacted Ish.

Iggy1979

Hill just got steeper

Iggy1979

This is the moment that Hurley was able to convince recruits that something special was about to happen. Can Archie do that and steal a couple of transfers?

Iggy1979

Define 'a little'

Iggy1979

Like Timberlake from Towson and Wright from NC Central

Iggy1979

Pretty average #s for Jackson. Would want more production from a grad transfer.

Iggy1979

Cox passed on him twice from what I hear. He and Ish would make a formidable backcourt if Archie will take a grad assistant.

Iggy1979

If Cooley goes I have no doubt Pitino will return to Providence.

Iggy1979

Former URI assistant Desmond Oliver fired as ETSU head coach after 2 seasons.

Iggy1979

Coaching stability will help.

Hobbs had a great run at GW until his players tuned out his yelling and screaming. Might be worth a shot.

Iggy1979

I would add Bilau to Blue Man's list, which means 3 open spots. One G, one wing, one big, at last two of them scorers.

Iggy1979

Ideally, a good 5 off the bench

This would be a huge get but?

Phil's Diner?

Iggy1979

That wasn't my assessment but a statistical analysis that had Ish as the third most improved A10 player and Martin and Carey as regressing.

Iggy1979

One player (Ish) improved significantly. One player (Bass) incrementally. Two players (Martin, Carey) regressed. Not a great result for the staff.

Iggy1979

So all we need is consistency from the inconsistent? When you put it that way, I'm in!

Iggy1979

How bad could he be on D?

Iggy1979

It’s an interesting juxtaposition on how we view the year coming in to the season versus now. Lest we forget it’s a rebuilding year. One of heavy roster turnover. I hate losing as much as anyone but I would highlight that we have six people on the team who have never played college basketball befor...

Iggy1979

Samb is playing behind Alex and Rory. I would take that as bad news.

Iggy1979

There's only one issue: the quality of the team on the floor. The rest of this is just noise.

Where was Penders? Ill?

Iggy1979

Stewart and Hutch at least showed some energy in this game. Start them for what's left of this season. Reduce Martin and Carey minutes.

Will women outdraw men this week?

Iggy1979

Congrats Brad. Well deserved. You made NK proud.

Iggy1979

No way it stays under 10

Iggy1979

Cant see URI hitting 60. 50 will be a challenge.

Iggy1979

To add to Blue Man speculation of maybe getting a Seton Hall transfer. Woodward was lead recruiter for Jaquan Sanders, 6-4 G, 4 stars. He stayed after Willard left but is playing less and less. Players in this situation often transfer.

Iggy1979

Hate to say it but this staff has not lived up to its reputation as recruiters. Of the 8 players they brought in do any excite you? Must do much better with 2nd class. Come on, how much time did he have to put this class together. You don’t recruit people overnight. As he who won’t be mentioned use...

Iggy1979

Not boxing out FT shooter in last game mightve been last straw.

Must do much better with 2nd class.

Iggy1979

Carey stays on my 'not an A10 player' list.
Stewart moves up to 'maybe' list.

Iggy1979

Scholarship or preferred walkon?

Iggy1979

You want to know the real reason the A-10 has started to suck? It's best coaches since Dan left have been Mark Schmidt, Mike Rhoades, Anthony Grant Keith Dambrot, Chris Mooney and Travis Ford Now what Schmidt has done at St Bona is great, Dambrot does great with less as well, but the other guys? Me...

Iggy1979

Recruiting thread, my lonely eyes turn to you.

Iggy1979

Still curious where Makszin and Brown will end up. Looks like Makszin's best offer is Ball St. Otherwise a bunch of FCS teams.
Brown was talking Rutgers and Florida St. But why would they be interested in someone with 10 tackles.

Iggy1979

As we know, I’m very much team “we’ll be good when we’re good.” But I’m looking forward to when Bassy is either buried on the bench, in the stands, or somewhere else. Kid is on the RI Mount Rushmore ratio of PT to terrible along with Jon Clark and Jarelle Reischel. Thomas is low hanging fruit. Ther...

Iggy1979

I see 3 definite A10 caliber players: Leggett, Bilau and Freeman.
Definite no's: Thomas, Martin, Stewart, Samb, Carey.
The rest are question marks.

Iggy1979

Kenny Johnson's job is to bring in players. Hopefully that happens.

Iggy1979

Brown recruiting CT POY John Neider. Rhody?

Iggy1979

I still haven't recovered from that finish. So many unforced errors.

Iggy1979

Big supporter of URI and the construction of the Ryan Center. Was always nice to see him in his seat.

Iggy1979

Still believe in the staff but there's not a player on this team without a major flaw in their game. This is a bad team and I'm sure Archie knows it.
