Not sure why JT isnt A10 All-Defense.

Thats what I meant by mentioning the Bonnies.

860_rhody

5+ hours is crazy. Not sure if I'll go

860_rhody

In regards to Fordham being replaced, Hofstra seems like the best option for a NY team (others than the Bonnies, who should also be replaced).

860_rhody

Listen all I know is everything that happened today is perfect. Not being picked to finish first, giving us an extra chip on our shoulders, is great. Hassan getting the story he did is fantastic exposure. I already have people asking me what time I plan on getting in line for the PC game (which I t...

I like how every one of panelists chose a Rhody game for "Game of the Year".

860_rhody

Can you really count Kuran's transfer as him going "down a level"? Not sure the American is good enough to consider it a level above the A10. I completely agree the A10 does not get the respect it deserves. I run a fitness center in Smithfield and have so many PC/Big East fans that show t...

Rhody football wins a game. (In Joe Castiglione voice): Can you believe it?

860_rhody

Good practice. KI doesn't seem to have that good of a touch around the rim. Akele looked solid. JT's athleticism jumps out at you. Crowd was okay, hardly any students.

860_rhody

On the topic of their website, I've noticed they use the same exact website layout as any D2 team.

860_rhody

Nvm I got it. I guess it's only useful if you don't live in RI.

860_rhody

So which 9 games do you get if you sign up for this? Can you choose which games you can see?

860_rhody

Although I feel bad for Moore and Kennedy, this opens up another at-large bid for a bubble team that could potentially be an A10 team, like a GW/Richmond/St. Bonaventure.

860_rhody

Solid. Is he the first guy from NJ since Mike Aaman?

860_rhody

URI is at 52? What a half-ass effort by whoever wrote all these.

860_rhody

Ugly. Always really weird when the numbers are a different color than the letters. Doesn't look right at all. I really liked last years - I thought the Miami Heat lettering was awesome. This years aren't that good. Hopefully this is the last year before Nike.

860_rhody

Why is this even a discussion? We have no clue what either team will look like in 5 years. I wouldn't be surprised if Hurley and Cooley are both gone in 5 years.

860_rhody

UCONN at #5 in the AAC is crazy. They are at least #3, but probably #2. They're stacked this year.

860_rhody

I definitely think EC will win POY. Seems like the best player from the best team usually wins these kinds of awards. He's healthy and he seems to be bigger than he was last year.

860_rhody

Just don't understand why Goddell didn't bring in Eli Manning to fight against Brady. Tommy boy wouldn't have stood a chance.

860_rhody

I'm actually pretty happy about this. We don't absolutely need him this year - we've got Iffy and Earl coming off the bench. Akele can play the four too. All we need Iffy/Earl to do is rebound, and play a little defense. Butts wouldn't have played much anyway - now we basically have him for 5 years.

860_rhody

B/R has us as the third most "under-the-radar" team in CBB.

860_rhody

Stud...he was 10x better than I expected...

860_rhody

When will the A10 schedule be released?

860_rhody

It's perfectly rational. He's a tall skinny spot up shooter who flops all the time. Plus his celebrations are exaggerated and annoying.

860_rhody

They're a tourney team this year and Jorgensen is my pick for 6MOY.

860_rhody

If a stud is going to come to a place like URI, he's probably going to want to come into a situation in which there isn't a crowded depth chart. I get that you don't want to skip 2016, but if we make the tournament next year, which we should, we'll be significantly more attractive. We don't need any...

860_rhody

I honestly don't want Rhody to get this kid. We have more than enough guards for 2016-17; there's no point in getting another one, especially if his only other offers are Hofstra and Drexel. I would rather we not get a 2016 guard, so that have a really good chance at stud 2017's like Bede, Aston-Lan...

Hassan's brother!!!

860_rhody

If you don't have BCS football you are a mid-major.... Agreed. Like dre said, schools with big time football revenues generally have better facilities. But more importantly, BCS schools can pluck coaches from mid-majors, and use their success at said mid-major as a recruiting pitch (ex. Shaka). Eve...

860_rhody

Lunardi had Rhody as a 10 seed awhile ago, before Iverson was eligible. Not really sure what caused him to change his mind.

I wish. These professors don't care - last year I had exactly one exam at night, and it was scheduled right at tip-off. So I had to miss the Davidson game. I hope I'm wrong though.

860_rhody

Not a fan of the early game. I might not be able to go and I'll surely have to skip class. Plus, who the hell is gonna watch that?

860_rhody

I honestly don't know why teams like Fordham are still in the league. You're in NYC and you can't field a top 12 A10 team? When are they gonna realize that this isn't working?

860_rhody

Nvm it can't be Wichita, so I'm gonna guess its Ole Miss or Georgia.

860_rhody

If it's not UAB, then my gut feeling is it's Wichita State.

860_rhody

My guess is UAB.

860_rhody

Bad pick by the Cs. They should've traded down to get Rozier, plus they have three point guards and AB now.

860_rhody

It's not his Twitter page, there's just more than one Christian Matthews.

860_rhody

Have to disagree on the notion that Hassan has huge NBA potential. Unfortunately NBA teams want backup 4s with range, or they want guys with really big motors. Hassan doesn't have the brute strength to be a hustle player. Not to mention the fact that he has no perimeter skills, unless he massively i...

860_rhody

Nice. Obviously St Joes, La Salle, UMASS, and Fordham are yearly locks. But we got the best possible 5th H/H we possibly could.

860_rhody

Brown's best player just transferred. Just in case they weren't a big enough RPI killer.

860_rhody

Damn I didn't expect this. I'm more excited though that we beat out VCU. They've been the figurehead of the A10; nice to see that that might be changing.

860_rhody

Trey Lewis is transferring too. Another meaningless non-conference game.

860_rhody

Believe me, it still is URHigh.

860_rhody

The RI is way better. I just always hate solid-colored logos. Nobody from outside of RI knows what that is, plus it looks too much like the VCU rams logo. Always should have thought that the old Rams logo on the old court design should have been Keaney blue, not some weird, faded, tan color.

860_rhody

I literally LOLed when I saw the "highlight" film. He can't even score 10 points on a court by himself. Don't even know what to say honestly. It's crazy.

860_rhody

Hearing Larrier from VCU will transfer, according to Rothstein. I hate to say this, but VCU will never be the same. HAVOC is long gone.
