Anyone that is comparing URI’s transfer signees to PC’s needs a reality check.
PC - top 20 team, made the sweet 16, Cooley National COY, plays in Big East.
URI - losing record in the A10.

I haven't been paying too close attention to who Bryant signed, but if those players (other than Walker) signed here instead, would you consider them A10 level players and make us a contender? Same for UMass (I know a couple of the UMass signs we were also hoping for). I know it's not easy to see o...

Switching teams for a better payday and he has an agent. What isn’t professional about this?

It’s only going to get worse.

There wasn’t a story. I guess 74 was just providing his IG link.
He posted the shooting video from the RC on Twitter.

I thought it was already a given that Rhoden wasn’t returning after he played in PIT and made the all tourney team.

I think Archie said that to have cushion. Impactful players for next season will be here for the summer sessions.

“We will be good when we are good.”

If you enter the portal after May 1st you need to have your head examined. Why risk giving up the no-sit year? The feeling is the NCAA will tighten up some on the waivers this year. There are exceptions that could justify entering after May 1st but there aren’t many.

Will this slow the transfer market, and will a team or collective get stuck with a player who underperforms? (The first part assumes the player gets paid for his complete eligibility at that school.) They get paid per year they are at the school (and eligible). Pack’s deal (Miami) is $400,000 per y...

UNC was always the heavy favorite once Martin left South Carolina. Martin offered Jackson once he took the UMASS job but really would have been a huge upset if Jackson chose UMASS. I can’t fault any HC for aiming high, ie Lamar Odom. Jackson is from South Carolina and S.C. was in his final five fro...

Unfortunately I don’t think there is an archetype when it comes to a transfer succeeding at their next stop. If only it were that east. So many variances. I do agree with Iggy that I would rather roll the dice with a more highly regarded prospect from a P5 if I had the choice but there are so many ...

Jim Larranaga playing the transfer market smart again this year dipping into the Sun Belt conference to get a top player. Much like last year when he did similar with George Mason. Older, veteran Head Coach recruiting with the best of them. A rolling stone gathers no moss. https://twitter.com/jeffb...

Surprised by you Ramster. Stan Robinson at Indiana, 3 ppg. KI at Memphis, 6 ppg. You got me Iggy. I loved those two recruits right from day 1. They were great! They also had to sit a year, got to the learn the new system, mature as players by watching and improving their individual games (ie Stan n...

I mean didn’t David Cox sign 4 (Walker, Carey, Mitchell twins) a couple years ago with no NIL and with no national cache like Martin has. Not two weeks after taking a new job and not with the NIL $ in place. That tweet is from the UMass Associate AD. He is saying “we have more money to pay platers”...

I think he's stalling us to see if he gets an offer he likes better than ours.

Or the opposite.

Cooley absolutely crushing the portal. I didn’t think he could equal last year’s success. It looks like he may have surpassed it. Hopkins might turn out to be a great addition for pc, but why is it that every time anyone is signed off the portal the coach is deemed to be crushing it? I know he was ...

Bryant? Or just visiting some friends. Doesn’t look dressed for a visit.

Didn’t play at all Freshman year then he gets brizzed to make space on the roster same day a guy is added? That didn’t happen. PC had two open spots. Plenty of room for Hopkins. Greeter is leaving because he was recruited over. PC has added 5 transfers. They have now lost 3 transfers out and had 1 ...

I feel like since there weren’t any posts in this thread for nearly a full 24 hours (!!!), people are like “oh I guess this one is over” which is such a perfect crystallization of Recruiting Brain to me.

Schools are forming Collectives. They seem even more direct than the exchange. Fans can pay a monthly subscription and the money gets funneled to the players. Here are two examples: Eddie Rojas, CEO of The Gator Collective and an unabashed Florida honk who went 10-1 as a pitcher for the Gators from ...

The point of my response to 72 was to compare what Cox was left to what Archie was left is asinine.
Would anyone be unhappy if Archie had Jeff, Cyril & Fatts for next year to add to incoming transfers.

Rhody83

Define a rebuild. It isn’t a rebuild every time a mid major makes the Tournament and then doesn’t make it the next year.
It’s also not a rebuild each year a team loses 3 of its top 6 players.

Rhody83

Jeff Goodman’s thought on the $400,000/year.

Rhody83

Hitching your future to Fatts or Harris or the twins would be suicidal for any coach. Archie saw it; Cox didn't. If I was a young player with talent, I wouldn't want to play for a team where the coach treated any of these players or allowed them to anoint themselves as the team leaders. Cox needed ...

Maybe Femi is going to get an NIL offer that URI can’t compete with.

Here is a football NIL. This kid got $350,000 for signing when he was a Jr in high school. Potential to earn $8 million thru his Jr year in college.

Wealthy alumni or donors who hire these players to be in advertisements for their companies.
