For some reason I see him completely reopening his recruitment

Section104

Section104

Nope...I didn't exactly ask any tough questions though. I was surprised to receive the call at work.

Section104

Off topic, but I sent Thorr an email saying I have the utmost confidence they'll find a great replacement for Preston and that I believe the future of Rhody hoops is bright...he called my work line 20 minutes later thanking me for the email and we got the chance talk for a little bit. Random things ...

Section104

yup they cut the team a few years ago...Marques Colston did play for them though

Section104

This would be a huge signing. We could be starting the 2015-2016 with a back-court of Garrett, Cooke, and EC. Obviously we're a ways away from that, but on paper I don't see another A10 backcourt that would be more skilled. Throw in Martin at the 4 and a formidable 5 (Hare, Watson, Gustys?) and we h...

As expected its WKU per Evan Daniels.

Section104

just visited WKU...not looking good

Section104

I think it was Koch saying it'd take his 135k a year to nearly 200k a year without mentioning it was over the course of 3 years with gradual raises each year.

Section104

I had a feeling the Finley Fuller (PrepWars) Twitter post was about us...

41 minutes ago from @PrepWars
It's so sad that a basketball program would attempt to slander someone's good name just to save face with their supporters. #RealTalk

Section104

Rod what's your take on all of this? It seems you know Preston pretty well. Any chance he sticks around?

Section104

"will accept" and "has accepted" are two different things, but I'd be surprised if Koch would say this if he didn't hear from a school official that it was 99.5% done.

Section104

Didn't Koch confirm?

Section104

What about a Jason Smith type guy who is obviously tapped into the Prep School circuit (Brewster head coach).

Section104

Are we hiring an associate head coach or a normal assistant? I see us going down a similar path as we did with Murray. Someone like Jeff Rafferty (Associate head coach at Delaware) or Greg Manning the #2 at Siena under Patsos.

Section104

Second guess? Definitely. At the end of the day, however, no one gets released from NLI for an assistant leaving. I'm sure he'll be talked off the ledge.

Section104

Jarvis tweeted....hes not happy

Section104

What about Skinner? Any value bringing him on as an assistant?

Section104

Virginia Tech coach fired.

Section104

ban this clown

Section104

He has some Josh Smith in him

Section104

You'd think he'd make the Kyle Macy Freshmen All-American Team...21 players made it last year including Christon. I think they're honored at Final 4.

Looks like I'm making a trip back to Orlando (went to school in Winter Park, FL) to check this one out...pumped! As a current Chicago resident I'm sure I'll be making the trip with a bunch of MSU alum. Hoping for that matchup!

Section104

National championships are pipe dreams for schools like PC and URI.....I think reality is 2 or 3 NCAA appearances in a 5 year period is a lofty goal for non-BCS schools... About seventeen years ago I probably would have agreed with this thinking but then saw PC lose to eventual national champion Ar...

Section104

After reading about PC against Yale, it looks more and more like PC isn't very good in their current shorthanded state. Which doesn't make our game against them [PC] look that great either. Discouraging. We have a LONG way to go, to get to the top half of the A10. A much longer way than any of us t...

Section104

Three days before Christmas is a tough time especially for a game against a weak opponent. Unfortunately, family obligations take precedence for me. Opposite for me. I moved to the midwest for work after graduating from URI but I get to go back home during the holidays. Will be going to the UNH gam...

Section104

Plans to transfer following this semester. Florida logical choice per Jeff Borzello

Section104

I'm taking PC here.

Luckily I took GM last time and that didn't necessarily work out in my favor. Here's to hoping I'm wrong again!

Section104

George Mason...I hope I'm wrong

Danny Ainge's son, interesting.

Section104

Ace- I felt special actually knowing this (100% info I collected following Biggie on Twitter)...knew you already had the scoop!

Section104

Carter is cousin of Cleveland Cavs guard Dion Waiters, who is good friends (and workout buddies during summer) with Biggie Minnis. Solid connection for Rhody.

Section104

Zaid, his buddy currently on the team, was the main reason he chose Quinnipiac. He felt comfortable there. Not sure how much Rhody was recruiting him.

Section104

Schedule will be announced later this afternoon on gorhody.com

Section104

FWIW: Jim Carr, Luke Murray, Kevin Tirone, Chris Martin, Jonathan Nazarko, Eric Youncofski and Givydas Biruta all started following Terrell on twitter.

The auctions on gorhody.com are pretty cool. I won a 1998-1999 warmup jacket and received it in the mail a few days later from Laprey.

Section104

Preston tweeted the ESPN link with "Dan Hurley plans to stay at URI" ...it's the first time anyone on the coaching staff or with the program has tweeted about it

Section104

To be fair he said one of the best "stretch 4's" in the country...a similar dynamic to what Erik Murphy brought to the table at Florida

Section104

Does anyone know if part of the buyout could include a 4 year home and home with Xavier...or something to that extent? I have no doubt that Thorr will always have a lot of love for Rhode Island Athletics, but he's also not stupid and knows hes laid the foundation for a successful basketball program....

@thorrbjorn @rhodysoftball Thorr, there's no ocean in Ohio! Don't do it. We need you. I understand but...don't.
