I just don't get the idea why, with hundreds of players out there, there is any thought on getting bench guys. They should be looking for guys that can start...until there is an established group of successful starters (as indicated by Ws and Ls, not "feelz")

NYGFan_Section208

I'm cool with it. I would not be cool with it if they expect to play him as the 5. Him backing up Green makes sense though. Guy that comes in, plays hard, two years at a Big East achool and is a good teammate. I figured we would get someone like that. Doubted we add anybody that would challenge Gre...

So, this was our first trade. Specifics of the deal. March 2023: Rhode Island acquires Jaden House from High Point for a player to be named later. April 2024: Rhode Island's deal with High Point is completed as Jeremy Foumena is the player sent to High Point in the Jaden House deal from March 2023....

I mentioned that a week ago...if the players have agents, why don't the schools have GMs? Who deals with the agents for Rhody? Arch? Thorr? Stone? Parlange? Stevie? I am gonna take stab at this.

Yeah but everyone knew he was gone, or could be gone. Was reported over a month ago. There are people that know who this guy is, but won't leak the info.

Bone, it has been a slow portal season for us compared to last year. Although, I really like the Lawrence addition - potentially ( will have to wait until he plays game for us before knowing) Archie’s best addition to date. But, imho, we need at least one more good big - or, at least good on D - be...

Yes Drums, Schertz is making an impact in the portal, also helps with bringing in a couple of ISU stars. Hopefully we get some positive news this week.

So, the portal slams shut May 1? It's like the trading deadline date in name your professional sport, combined with musical chairs. There needs to be a cool name for it... Maybe, "don't let the door hit ya" Day? If I understand correctly, the 'outflow' of players stops? From then until the...

ECR, we agree on many things...Fou is not one of them. Seems like a good enough dude, and I hope he has a great career somewhere, but I'm not seeing that much potential. Then again, I've been way wrong before, so if he comes back to Rhody and stars, we can all be not surprised.

My guess is someone has been working for Rhody that we don't know about (I'm sure some know) while KJ has been working for GT. I don't see this as a huge deal.

Good points earlier from 78, PRT and Stevey regarding our D. I am concerned about the D.
