Serious question. Are minimum credit load, minimum GPA, graduation rates etc, still a thing any more? It must be fun being in the admissions offices across the land?

section(105)

Wah wah wah College sports is dead Blah blah blah Broken f'n records We are waiting for you to start a new topic on how URI wasn’t healthy last year and this was the reason they weren’t successful. Maybe one on the Jucos that you think we are in on. You praised Archie to the heavens on Tyson Brown ...

section(105)

Maybe……if we change to an uptempo belly to belly to belly 94 ft pressing defense as soon as they toss the ball up….run platoons in and out, but, “we ………………………..”

section(105)

For those that are 1/2 empty, I get it. With the Bassy 2.0, this probably where the program is at this point. Meh at best.

section(105)

Gasps were heard down the hall in many in-patient rooms in Rhody Rehab when the Bassy news broke.

section(105)

I guess it didn’t costs us much to send him down to down to single A ball for more seasoning. I guess Ways to a goner, I guess Bassey back is a poster for the strange times we are in. Hope he makes his first shot as a 3 ball.

Yeah URI (tried to?) play Packline. The larger point is UVA which won a national championship playing Packline got smoked multiple times this past season. Obliterated. Elite D1 coaching has figured out how to destroy it. It will also be a interesting study to watch what Bennett does. Does Miller ha...

section(105)

As quiet as things have been here, things are even quieter on the women's side. Zero info about anyone coming in and zero info about our players in the portal. Could this have anything to do with sorting out donations to Rhody Excellence and what team gets what? I think that is a factor, yes. At so...

section(105)

Overly simplistic stupid, unrealistic, will neva happen etc. solutions. 1) keep the ncaa out of it. 2). Conferences set salary caps on basketball teams, both for men’s and women’s. These would be within reach of all conference teams. Scaled up to the major conferences, scaled lower for other confere...

section(105)

Never mind contributing to NIL. The question looming is do I want to fork out season ticket money again for a program that appears to be in complete disarray. With payment due in a few weeks, is the product worth driving an hour each way anymore. Who's on the team? Who's our lead recruiter? Has our...

Ya know, I really don’t know. What I do know is whatever we play stinks.

If he played for Dan, I have to think he has a good attitude and is a hard worker.
That would be a major get

The only good tournaments URI seems to get into more recently only seem to be when it plays at Mohegan Sun. Unfortunately that can only happen every four years. given we are coming off four straight losing seasons and do not travel well outside this area, we are not really a desirable team for tour...

What style chowda does he like, white, red, clear? Ever had a clamcake?

section(105)

What type/style of defense does he like to play?

section(105)

Doubt it, but ya neva know with players today. Main reason, I think is more related to the prospects of dancing in the immediate future?

section(105)

And or have penalty payment for leaving? No matter what mechanism is applied, difficult coaching situation having a player that doesn’t want to be there, bury them on the bench has its downside.

section(105)

Need a packline disciple

New position, a PW, Portal Wizard……..

section(105)

I visited the Ballantine 3 Rings often, does that count?

section(105)

Possible former coach Here? Yes, if Archie’s going in a different direction than Kenny it makes sense that it might be a former head coach. There’s a lot available who may be looking to get back into the game, would be a good move. Me thinks the former HC at best only works where you have a name ro...

I'm still not sold on Loyola. Wake me up when they actually bring something to the table. No, making the NIT and losing to Bradley in the first round isn't bringing something to the table Good chance Loyola is not sold on us.. Yes, what do we bring to the table? Here comes the debate. Great hoops f...

section(105)

Are you under the impression that our basketball programs are turning a profit? It would greatly surprise me if they are indeed profitable. Can anyone provide financial numbers? Well DD, I've been asking for the numbers since this circus started. Are you saying all sports at URI are independently f...

section(105)

If I was a D1 AD somewhere, I would be checking my retirement plans/options or seeing if there any D3 jobs available. Whatta mess.

section(105)

Our Legislators have other much bigger fish to fry rather than allowing URI funding paying its players. Like, the Speaker offered on radio recently that the State share of the Bridge could be 60 million.

section(105)

I suppose some schools will maybe have the advantage of recruiting local talented freshman that always wanted to play for Ole State U. We don’t have that talent.

section(105)

Was it the Ray Johnson era of local hoops that helped build the Boon St. court’s reputation?

section(105)

Just saw this, Ray Johnson, former Narragansett kid, SKHS and PC player passed, age 77. For me, it was strange he did not go to URI. Decent teams during his years I recall.

section(105)

Maybe just maybe today will the arrival of a wide body, rim protector, free throw shooter, rebounder…….yeah, I don’t want much

What’s with all the talk about cookies on this board today?

Keebler, Girl Scout cookies ?

Asking for an almost Keaney Blue colored Muppet.

Rhody Rehab does not handle those eating disorders, just a service update. We refer those to NY System locations

Too bad we can’t get a RoadyJay poster for his potential return to the Ry. Would imagine it would be a classic.

What is a portal wizard? I remember talking to a D2 assistant coach back 15 years ago. Jeff Goodman use to release the transfer list and the coach would call every low-mid major school on there to find out why the kid was leaving and to see if they had interest in dropping down and playing right aw...

section(105)

Rhody Rehab has not had any spike in referrals. Good job KB, we are coping, so far.

section(105)

We need a portal wizard, talent evaluator, scouting department. Not another assistant coach with connections and geographic centric focus

section(105)

Maybe we will get another arrival commitment today or tomorrow, so that this will hopefully become Ben who?

section(105)

My guess is the Hammond departure and whoever the arrivals are will have little impact, either way in the response values here. Or the response rate, small sample size.

section(105)

D1 college basketball has zero to do with college. I guess it’s marketing-not really sure what it is. What I do know is the message sent to young “student” athletes is twisted. Get all you can for yourself and honor no commitments. What a fantastic education. I’ll keep buying season tix because it’...

section(105)

When posting about Ben early on, I used “if” he comes here……he was iffy at best.

section(105)

Season ‘24-‘25……..if we suckish again it will be because the participation in the Collective was not enough, if we are decent it will be because Archie is great Coach? Just asking for a friend.

section(105)

Hope this does not send someone in the fold to the portal.

section(105)

Let’s translate this to additional Rhody Excellence $$$?

I've decided, after much consideration, I'm entering the Fan Portal. Any College team can reach out to me and provide NIL offers. Free tickets, free beer and concessions would put them at the top of my fan list. Willing to make official visits as well. Please have a lot of swag available for me. (c...
