This kid looks like a top priority.

rhodyfan3000

Looks like we are involved with a lot of good recruiting prospects, but out of all of them, I would place this kid in the top 3 for priority, I really hope they manage to land him.

rhodyfan3000

Interesting that the high school website lists him as a point guard but the recruiting site lists him as a SF. Point forward? He's 6'6.

Kind of reminds of Ryan Daly of St Joes, but doesn't have a gut like Fred Flintstone .

Can put the ball in da basket though, that much is clear

rhodyfan3000

same.

wise to get in on this kid when no one is recruiting him, perhaps it will help when the rush of teams come calling

Yes, I agree, but like I said with that ignoramus from the NK Walmart: act ignorant in public like the pandemic never happened and you think you can just simply go back to hacking in people's faces whenever you feel like it, and expect to be completely called on in in public, with the biggest scene ...

haha, the Cool Moose party guy's mom aunt used to work in the mail room at RIC back in the early 90's. She was pretty cool herself. sorry, it wasn't his mom, it was his aunt. Just went and looked her up. But I remember her showing his very first campaign flyer to everyone, she was so proud of him. T...

Are we still naming and shaming places? Thursday morning, 8:30am, North Kingstown Walmart. Brought my carriage of groceries to the self check out. On the opposite side of the register I was using were the refrigerated cabinets. An employee in a t-shirt and shorts was standing facing me about 3 feet ...

And the P5's have nearly a year to figure out the same thing.

Cox pulling a dark horse move?

Red forgot more about the URI - PC rivalry than most of us will ever know. Not to mention, drunk PC students urinating and taking a dump on your lawn on their way back to their dorms will tend to leave a lasting, life long impression that ain't going to go away. But he's not even talking about that,...

rhodyfan3000

Cox silenced and put his naysayers to rest (for now) the old fashioned way:

through hard work. Relentless recruiting. Tireless effort.

You can fault a man for many things, but someone who gives you 110% effort is difficult to criticize. Not impossible, but difficult.

rhodyfan3000

I agree!

rhodyfan3000

This is the same Chuck Todd who last month was forced to publicly apologize for his "creative" editing of Bill Barr's comment on Mike Flynn? Not that anyone actually believed his hollow apology, but the significant thing was that he was forced to issue one, sincere or not, bringing shame u...

rhodyfan3000

Here's my take prognostication on the waivers. 1. Carey gets approved because of his injury. I think so, yes 2. Martin gets approved because he wants to be closer to home (Covid 19). Less likely, probably no 3. The twins will be eligible after the first semester. Nope 4. Betrand sits the year. Yes ...

rhodyfan3000

One of the things that will give URI an advantage moving forward is that with 5 transfer student athletes, they cannot transfer again, so we will have a 5 player nucleus or core to work around. I suspect that there will be more transfers in the future, for this very reason. Probably not 5 in one yea...

Gina has a hidden liberal agenda which she suppressed until the other night. Really? Maybe she just screwed up. Oh, I am so sorry that I offended your sensibilities. I just think it is a case of a leopard cannot change their spots. Not so much a "hidden liberal agenda" as much as, to be a...

Minus something really unusual happening, this will be Sheppard's last year. That is my understanding. It stinks, but do to various circumstances, he only ended up getting two years at Div 1: his freshman year at ECU and now his final year at URI. He would have had a 3rd year last year, but he was a...

rhodyfan3000

There is something "throwback" about this kid. Like he would like right at home in a uniform from the great Penders team that went to the sweet 16 or from one of Al Skinner's better teams from the late 80's and early to mid 90's. This might have been someone who snuck under the radar back ...

I too am guilty of believing that Gina Raimondo was doing a bang up job with the Covid-19 Pandemic. Right up until last week and this incident. She says it was "a heat of the moment thing". I call B.S. It wasn't a heat of the moment thing. She was showing outstanding leadership qualities u...

He's a combo guard. We love our combo guards here at Rhode Island. We have a long history of them now. Very few guards we get are definitively a point guard or definitively a classic two guard. Even Tyson and Cat blurred the lines, and they were about as traditional role guards as we have had around...

Chickens hatched. Jalen Carey added.

rhodyfan3000

It's also based on a vote from the committee, if you lose, you could be "playing from behind" and hoping to get the mythical 6th year, but have no guarantee of that happening.

rhodyfan3000

A 6th year is quite rare.

In the case of the Murphy, was the injury before the 3rd game of the season?

rhodyfan3000

How do you figure that?

I just explained it above. I "showed my work". Why do you think they would be so optimistic about the waiver in the first place?

rhodyfan3000

Carey was in his second year at Syracuse, broke his thumb, after the second game of the season, and sat the rest of the year, with a medical reshirt. Now, if he transfers anywhere, and they force him to sit his first year, he will not mathematically be able to compete for years of competition within...

Here it is (from the 2019-2020 version): (if this cannot be cut and pasted directly, then by all means delete it) 12.8.1.7 Five-Year Rule Waiver. The Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement, or its designated committee, by a two-thirds majority of its members present and voting, may approve waive...

duckduckgo.com is your friend here, in the digital age... ah, crappers, that link was from 2008-09 and the updated NCAA Div 1 2019-20 manual is about $17.

Optimism could be back on the menu, folks. Here's hoping.

Adam Zagoria is like Sully in the movie Miracle On The Hudson, piloting the Carey plane to a soft safe landing on the Rhody waters.

Rhody flashback:

Who remembers when a guy on here named "clamcake" was so obsessed with recruiting rankings, that only a TOHR (Top One Hundred Recruit) would do?

rhodyfan3000

Seems a little hesitant. Can't say that I blame him, after what happened with Boeheim at Syracuse. Once he was in that doghouse there was no climbing out. His next destination will be his final destination for college. URI would be just as good a fit as any of those 7 he had narrowed down to. Possib...

rhodyfan3000

Haven't seen any.

4 out of 7 chance of it being a Big East school. With URI, Alabama, and BYU the outliers.

Absolute coin toss. Only Jalen knows, and he probably doesn't even know at this moment.

rhodyfan3000

Calling it now, Mutts to Wake Forest, for the same reason we lost Antonio to them. At least this time, we don't get the build up of it coming down to a "final two" that doesn't include Wake Forest, only for it to be WF in the end. That's ok, no offense to our Dayton board member, but at le...

rhodyfan3000

So, upper A-10 level talent, say Dayton or Rhody...

pining for ACC and SEC...

where are we expecting him to ultimately land? Georgetown, Rutgers, or Providence College?

rhodyfan3000

Getting Mutts would be absolutely huge. He might not be the pure banger that Cyril was. But he had back to back 20 point/15 rebound games this year. He is a dogged defender that Cox likes, an absolute smothering pest, shot blocker, rebounder, nose for the ball and an offensive presence.

rhodyfan3000

I'm on board. Sign him up.

rhodyfan3000

I can honestly say I have never put anyone on a block list before. Wouldn't even know how to use that feature. Not just on here, but anywhere on the internet. I just think blocking defeats the purpose of coming on here. I say some "lazy" things (not well thought out things?) sometimes and ...

rhodyfan3000

I am very sorry to hear that Rambone. Truly.

rhodyfan3000

Fatts deserves all the respect in the world for coming back for his final season.

People all over will watch these games just to see him perform.

rhodyfan3000

Considering:

1. No non conference games
and
2. The biggest team we are probably going to face is St Louis

I would say... sure, why not?

rhodyfan3000

I would pay a decent fee to absolute access to all 20 A-10 games for my team. And they should have a "season ticket" pass for more money, for people who just want to watch basketball throughout the conference in general, which allows them to watch any game, dvr, and also go back and watch ...

rhodyfan3000

This gets about as tedious as listening to the seven year old that can't get it through his head that this year's trip to Disney World has been cancelled. Except you are trying to explain it to old dudes in their 60's and 70's. We know that the A-10 is hoping to plan a 20 game season for each team. ...

rhodyfan3000

It's ok, we'll all be watching from home anyway.

rhodyfan3000

Oh, sorry, my mistake. If it's not listed on VerbalCommits, we don't know. Nevermind, Greenwell! I decided I don't care anyway.

rhodyfan3000

Well, not for nothing, but Bill Koch took time out to answer on here. Do I work for the Providence Journal? He proposed the question, yet he's the only one with professional expertise on here to find out.

rhodyfan3000

Did he graduate or not? Their graduation was Monday. Does anyone know?

rhodyfan3000

Also, the NCAA punished Seton Hall for recruiting violations, which they were clearly guilty of. It's not even open for discussion. They contacted him mom like 160 times by text message without Syracuse's approval, and they have all of the evidence. Why would they target Taurean Thompson himself? Th...

rhodyfan3000

Wait a minute.

1st year: Syracuse
2nd year: Sit out at Seton Hall
3rd year: Seton Hall
4th year: Seton Hall

So, if he graduated Seton Hall, why would he have to sit out again?
