The official start of the season and EC's 19th birthday (he's still the second youngest on the team).

Yes, 3 including Mudiay.

Happy first day of the 14-15 basketball season! Please celebrate accordingly.

Yeah, a few different sources have said he found out on twitter. If true, there are certainly better ways to handle that.

Northwestern seems to still be involved.

Not sure how well the title of this thread fits, but...

Hope he can keep up his excellent coverage of Rhody basketball.

I like it.

Todd Simon is a definite asset to that UNLV program. He's an interesting guy- I didn't know about the health issues he deals with.

ace

I'm working from the idea that him being listed as a sophomore is the official second part of that NCAA decision- first, he's eligible right away; second, the redshirt year has already been applied meaning a later appeal and subsequent NCAA decision will not come into play. A guy like Iffy will play...

ace

When the NCAA is involved, it's nice to have things decided early and with certainty.

Different circumstances, but ask Iffy- not everyone gets their 4 in 5 for sure.

Hare would play his senior year at age 24.

What are they, UMASS?

Bobby was at the Cavs training camp.

Bruce Brown is also at Vermont Academy.

Did I miss DH saying Poyser would have a chance to start? I thought the quote was that he would have a chance to step in and make an impact from day 1? Hurley can't say anything, at least publically, but you may have missed the comments below. So far Poyser has made one official visit, to Rhode Isl...

Commits to Temple- yay! Love when the local guys stay (except Ernest, he can go north).

Sorry for the Temple talk, but this is nice-

ace

Committed to Tulane.

ace

As for Garrett, he has a unique skill set on this 14-15 team, and I don't think anyone can argue that. With recruits, there's always what was said and what was heard. Based on what he's done and what the programs under him have done, Hurley can truthfully say that this program will play and develop ...

ace

Rhody was not heavily involved, but Tucker reportedly committed to Florida Gulf Coast- he's pretty much a perfect match for Dunk City.

Do yourself a favor and watch those highlight tapes again. His game as a whole needs some work, but he can fly.

Some of you may have seen this as well, but Xavier finished his classes this summer and is now an official, diploma in hand college graduate. Congrats, X!

Aflakpui attends a high school outside of Philly. Like most international students, he stays with a host family- one of the kids goes to St. Joe's, the other goes to Temple. One of those schools might get him, but it won't necessarily be just because they're local. He likes Hurley, the visit will be...

I don't get those who are indifferent about Hare. He is a 6-10 athlete and URI doesn't get a ton of those. Welcome back. My guess is because he's originally a Jim Baron recruit, and god forbid he becomes one of the bright spots in the frontcourt. Baron did bring some talented players to Rhody, coac...

Koch's article on the commitment.

From this point on, there's a certain level of maintenance involved in a commit like this, but he says he's all in.

"The coaching staff treated me like I was one of their's already," Thompson said. "The players really showed a lot of love and I love the plan the coaching staff has for me."

ace

Welcome, Christion!

As for other targets, some are targeting a spring decision. At that time, the staff is more likely to know for sure about any extra spots opening up.

It's the best, but Athlon has some local people writing about their schools, so it's not bad (and cheaper).

Lindy's and Athlon also have EC on first team all conference.

The difference between starting 3 frosh at Wagner day one and this year is the guys he will hopefully be starting freshmen over are guys he brought here. Well, there's only 1 holdover, so that almost has to be true. My point, though, is the idea that Hurley philosophically opposes starting freshmen...

ace

The staff would also have their priorities within the group.

Moss had a great summer and has an impressive list of offers. I don't remember them all but SMU and Temple stand out, with a lot of the Midwest schools showing interest.

ace

Hurley's coached at this level for four years, both times inheriting complete messes of programs. He's never had a full roster of his guys, so to say he has "a way" of handling freshmen, as was said above, doesn't make sense. If Terrell doesn't start from day one, something very unexpected...

ace

Hurley started 3 freshmen at Wagner from day one. The individual players and the composition of the team influences such decisions, not class.

ace

Read what ATP and TruePoint have written. If the appeal in its entirety was accepted, Jordan's a sophomore. That's good for the team, his development, and roster balance.

ace

Rutgers had offered, but I was told that Jordan was there just for Briscoe and that Shaheen was there for both Silva and Briscoe. We'll see, I guess.

Hare's wearing a hat. Gil is behind Hassan. He's so awesomely weird. Or maybe in witness protection.

I think it was Ace on one of the threads that said we should go after a top tier guard every year. I agree with her. Can't have enough of them, and things change too quickly with injuries, transfers etc. I do think that- not necessarily any guard, but a highly regarded scorer or pure pg, depending ...
