I think Marcus is the best player on EE right now. I know we're in good shape at PG for a while, but I'd love to see him here. I'm sure Dowtin and Marcus could both play the 2 with Fatts at the 1, and both Dowtin and Marcus can play the 1. Would give us a lot of versatility at the guard position.

Billyboy78

Yeah, Daron was busy last night and added another award to his many this year....Prom King.

You don't think he made any connections when he was here? He's still recruiting the area so obviously there is a connection somewhere.

Billyboy78

Speaking of the Zegarowskis, Arizona St. and Creighton both offered Marcus (he's the PG) yesterday. The Zegarowski brothers are the younger brothers of Michael Carter Williams. I wonder if Arizona St., Creighton and Xavier have better shots with New England kids than we do.

Billyboy78

Those are the kinds we'll get......not as highly rated but it's up to the staff to evaluate their potential...... Sort of like Cyril, MT, and ML.....yes it's only one year since they came here, all 3 stars......one looks like he's developing into a 4 star type, and the other two....who knows? Overr...

Billyboy78

I think we'll get a couple of EE players.... I'll predict we end up getting two 4 stars and two 3 stars......and a transfer. Just a hunch. The tough part is getting a 4 star big [SF or PF] that can play right away.....that's probably Dan and staff's toughest challenge going forward. The A10 doesn't...

Billyboy78

Nice tape, but shouldn't you have posted on PC or Uconn board. NO SHOT. NONE. Lets concentrate on mid Atlantic and southern 2 stars. I just want to land one 4 star New England player. We did it once, although under unusual circumstances, with Terrell. Is that too much to ask? Ok, people will argue ...

Billyboy78

Check out AJ's latest tape. This kid is really good. If he goes to PC, I'll puke.

Billyboy78

Another New Englander bites the dust. Cut his list to a final 4 of PC, Villanova, Virginia and Louisville.

Billyboy78

Today is June 1st. When will we hear about a coaching change?

Billyboy78

I think our rivalry with HC. ended about 40 years ago.

Billyboy78

Have to get this kid early. Maybe he will be the 1st Expressions kid that Ty gets.

Billyboy78

OK, for the casual basketball fan in RI, whoever wins that game isn't important. Would they rather go to the Dump to watch PC or to the RC to watch us? For us to fill the RC on a consistent basis, we need new fans. But, whatever. Let's win that Belmont game. That'll get the casual fan to come and se...

Billyboy78

You can't tell me that beating Richmond sells more tickets than beating PC. Like Rhody 15 said, that's laughable.

Billyboy78

Hasn't it been said that revenue is now the most important thing to help get this program to the next level? Do you know how important beating PC is in creating revenue? More local publicity. More ticket sales to games for the rest of the season. More Rhody gear sold, etc., etc., etc. If creating mo...

Billyboy78

If we were the ones to have beaten PC 7 straight times, we all 100% would talk about it any time we could. That is a fact. Beat them to shut everyone up. Until then people will continue to talk about it and I can't blame them one bit cus I (along with 99% of other posters) would do the same. We are...

Do we know when their trip is yet?

Billyboy78

Too bad it's not at more locations. Definitely can't make it to EG at noon.

Billyboy78

Sounds like he's waiting for Michigan and Michigan State to offer.

Billyboy78

Ace, can you imagine what next year's senior night will be like?

Billyboy78

Announcing today...UConn, Texas or St. John's.

Billyboy78

Why don't some of these kids learn? All of these guys transferring into the A10 should have just started there in the first place.

Billyboy78

Yeah, but who wants to live there?

Billyboy78

I'm sure TV dictates starting times. There's nothing we can do about that.

Billyboy78

I love URI basketball as much as anyone. Not all of us are in a position to donate money. I go to as many games as I can. I do nothing else for myself where money is involved. That's all I can do. All this talk about it's up to us makes me feel guilty. You shouldn't feel guilty at all. Personally, ...

@Drunktonyg Looking at Toppins recent tweets.. he retweeted a bunch of URI fans saying he should go there... can't believe they didn't get him!

Toppin really wanted to come here. He retweeted this quote AFTER committing to Dayton.

Good news. Even though we know this means nothing as far as how long Dan will stay here, it means more improvements for the program, which we will find out soon, I assume. It should also help in the short term as far as recruiting goes, especially for the all important "18 class.

Billyboy78

I thought this was going to be one of those Pat Riley stories.

Billyboy78

If Andre wants to play, I would hope he would consider going to a Division 2 school. I think he could thrive there. If he did, we could maybe sign Toppin too. That would also balance off the classes to 4-3-3-3. We would then have 5 C/F types coming back next year and could really hone in on recruiti...

Billyboy78

Hurley said when we spoke with alumni in NY that he wanted a forward who could rebound and play D. He wanted a player that could fit in within the culture and not a guy looking to score tons of points. The one concern is that he didn't start on his JUCO team. He was starting at the end of the seaso...

Billyboy78

He doesn't have to score with the guards we have right now. Rebound, play defense and get some garbage baskets on the offensive glass. That's all we need from him this year. If he can develop more of an offensive game for his senior year, that would be great.

Supposedly this was a Boswell get.

This tweet has him at 6"8" now.

Ryan Preston (6'8, F, 2017) of Trinity Valley has committed to Rhode Island

Billyboy78

Birdman was right. Was a visitor this week. It was him. Was told a strong left hander.

Billyboy78

Strong kid, 6'6" but can rebound. HS highlights.

Billyboy78

So, Davidson gets 1000 every year. What's the formula for figuring out the score anyway?

Billyboy78

I think we're still in on him. I know twitter follows don't mean everything, but Toppin and Eric Younkofski just followed each other today. Unless they're just good buddies, I assume it means something.

Billyboy78

Year: APR Score (Multi-Year APR) 15-16: 979 (989) 14-15: 980 (947) 13-14: 979 (941) 12-13: 1000 (932) The multi-year is a 4 year average, so this year's (989) is the first that only includes the performance under Dan. There can be adjustments made later, which is why the averages aren't exact. Don'...

Billyboy78

I still think either the 5th starter or the 1st big off the bench isn't on the team yet.

Billyboy78

Prolific tweeter Birdman reports that Terrance Mann was practicing at Rhody today but has no intention of leaving FSU......but that there was another visitor on campus today.....he wouldn't name names however.... My guess would be Martin Mann... What is Birdman's Twitter handle @TheBirdmanJrJr .......

When my daughter graduates from UVM next year, I'll finally have a little extra money to get some stuff done on my property. I think the driveway would be first. I'll remember to keep this in mind.

Only 3 staff members can recruit at the same time I think....but they are all putting in a ton of work for sure.

No, I wasn't following what Northern Ram was getting at.

Man, ARD and Cox are busy guys........Dan too of course. Definitely impressed with all of the contacts and offers being made...some really good prospects, most much higher rated than the staff was offering just a couple of years ago.....

All I can find. Definitely athletic.
