As expected, another fabulous job by Thorr keeping the lid on this thing.

He’s not leaving us much to talk about here.

Time for some pizza talk?

hrstrat57

Yep no problem for me playing at the Pizz

It’s actually a great take y’all oughta go to our game there.

hrstrat57

Assuming that Coach Cox is named our Head Coach, if Chris Mack goes to Louisville and takes Travis Steele and/or Luke Murray with him, will Naji Marshall ask for his release? Marshall is from the DC area, we were on his final list of schools, he is friends with Jermaine Harris and we still have tha...

Been around hoops a long, long time. Fatts Russell is the fastest amateur player up the floor with or without the ball I have ever seen in person. Tape of Harris I’ve seen indicates he might be as quick up the floor as ARD was. Please tell me we will NOT install a motion offense as primary style of ...

hrstrat57

Pretty sure Rod would still be all in on Preston Murphy

Harrick redux

Sadly I can’t ask him

hrstrat57

My note to Dan Hurley would include, "how about a home and home in a couple of years? Would help both get a good opponent." I actually mentioned it to the one UConn grad I know, I he likes the idea. He says he has an interest in Rhody and doesn't want to see them fall back down. Not sure ...

hrstrat57

I don’t really give a rats arse who the HC is as long as I never ever see the basketball cluelessly tossed around the top of a zone defense like I did on Senior Night and in the Duke game. I don’t ever want to see us pull up into a motion or high ball screen offense when the opponent is backpedaling...

hrstrat57

I think will all know what gig PM wants

Might as well take 2 interviews while he’s here.

hrstrat57

The only plan we had for staying with Duke was shoot lights out from 3. One shot and swish. After tossing the ball around the top of the zone 4 times, looked like a poorly spread out version of Hoosiers. No ball rotation to the corners, no probing the baseline - zip. Unfortunately it was one shot an...

hrstrat57

no doubt in my mind PM is in play for a job at 2 D1 schools in RI

hrstrat57

The real question is how do we get Bagley III on the C's

I don't think you're going to hear about a school's interest in him, or his interest in a school...until it's just about 'done'. I don't think that's the case. We know Georgia went after Thad Matta, who turned them down. We know Pittsburgh went after Hurley and Miller, they've been connected to Oat...

According to the words of our Athletic Director we should do that anyway......

hrstrat57

here is a little history lesson for anyone who thinks Slick Rick can't coach college ball. One dead eye shooter, Brooks and a team of nobody.....imagine what he could do with Fatts Russell and crew? I understand the vitriol but saying the man can't coach is just not right...... http://www.slamonline...

hrstrat57

I'm tired of being a stepping stone. Coaches leave for money. Plain and simple. What was Cooley's first contract? Was it $750k? What was Mack's first contract at X? Was it $750K? He was an assistant prior. Just pay people what the expectations are. We expect to dance. That is worth X amount of mone...

hrstrat57

How bout we get Pitino on the cheap, contract requires URI hire the staff or do double extreme vetting.....which was clearly not done when we sold our souls to hire Harrick. Then URI hires either PM, Wheeler or ARD as assoc coach in waiting. Forget the buyout, plan B is on the bench ready to go. How...

SK Rebels had a great year actually and I think Records is about 6’8”

Coulda used him in the last game...

hrstrat57

Y’all are providing some outstanding entertainment, Keaney Blue is awesome today!!

hrstrat57

Page is more than turned for me, I’m excited because of Thorr stating his goal - final four. Whatever staff he picks to get us there I’m all in. 100%. Get there and we set up the men’s hoops program and the entire athletic department for decades. Isn’t that what we all want? Let’s get there quick!!!...

Nope the lid is real tight on this one.....

hrstrat57

I’m all in on whoever will help install a Harrick style attacking offense with this group as a primary style of play.

hrstrat57

I think we should knock it off with passive aggressive Ace posts.

Ace is alright and it’s not 100% certain won’t continue to post and contribute further.

Just my take - fire away if you have to but I hope Ace sticks around these parts

hrstrat57

Clear to me now.

Dawgs wanted squeaky clean Dan to clean off the slime.

Surprising Louisville didn’t offer $4m

hrstrat57

Is it guaranteed that Harris isn’t being plucked as we speak by a P5 school that previously recruited him? IMHO take Harris off this team next year and we’re all likely throwing a wild guess against the wall in regards to what this team will be and our next coach will be very limited in the system/ ...

hrstrat57

Welcome to the Machine is top of the line PF in my opinion. Brilliant....

hrstrat57

I firmly believe if we secure Harris and install a system focused on the Harrick offense this group will tear it up. I see Harris as ARD in that attacking offense. Watch the St Joe's Ram vs. Hawk youtube from 98 if you want a snippet of what I'm talking about. There is tons of tape on youTube. High ...

hrstrat57

So I create a thread, it gets locked, and then never unlocked? So this website isn’t about first amendment rights...? Unreal, I told you all that Cox was the name and no one wanted to be real and discuss it... sooo nice work y’all. David Cox is THE ONLY OPTION all it all goes boom and we go back to...

hrstrat57

Got to be honest, seeing Dan's tweets and the interview clips is actually pissing me off more than I've been pissed today and through this process and I thought that's the kind of stuff that would make me feel better about the whole thing. In terms of on the court he built what he said he would, ca...

hrstrat57

Forget Parcells....

This is getting as weird as Harrick to Athens or not....

I’ve moved on, too bad really.

Dan I can’t wish you luck at UConn.

Sincerely Sorry but can’t do it.

hrstrat57

This is all starting to smell like Parcells....

uConn vs $2m ann from Rhody and buncha other hot jobs popping open?

Fishy fishay!!

hrstrat57

Nice job under difficult circumstances by Thorr.

The irony of the “DunkinPerks/ Loyalty “ backdrop was most outstanding!!

uConn?

Really?

Yuk!

hrstrat57

Ben, and I met him before I actually started posting at Projo at a off season practice where we watched Lamar and T-Bell for the first time, was a great, rabid fan, like Blue Man. And some of things that were said to him were appalling. I mean, I realize he didn't react well to a lot of it, but tha...

hrstrat57

Also Cox has a super solid resume, and actually knows an offense that isn't high pick and roll every play. I don't really see what the issue is. @rhodysurf you got any evidence of this you can link to? I noticed Cox on multiple occasions really in Hurley’s ear during the Martelli Debacle ( I was di...

Lotsa bites on the fake Fatts twitter account

The real Fatts account is silent so far.

I don’t linky known fake accounts go find it yourself

hrstrat57

No thanks

hrstrat57

I personally think that DH should have stayed with URI with this new offer. He stays here 2 or 3 more years builds his name up even more and then gets a pick of the litter P5 school I think looking back he will regret this move we shall see agree UConn is just as likely to can him in 3 years for th...

If no interest there I like Cox to be the guy keep the continuity and the recruits!!

Well that would get Rhody on Sportcenter.....

hrstrat57

Tate and Martin alone is still better than most of our recruiting classes we've ever had. A similar tweet or message from the like of Harris, Fatts, Jeff, Cyril and Adams would quickly turn around a dismal morning. You can bet for sure they are reading these threads. They pop up pretty quick on a w...

Lotta mixed emotions in Friartown today. That won’t keep em from feasting on Rhody lamb chop tho.... We deserve every bit of it today. Bring it on. uConn? Yuk. Actually I think “uConn? Yuk! “ will be new signature Tho I love the picket fence - most unstoppable coaching strategy ever! Jeez I need som...

hrstrat57

First thing I heard from friends who are not fans was that they were not impressed with Hurley’s coaching. Great recruiter, great motivator, great program builder, yes but he is not the perfect coach. —————————- Well we did toss the ball aimlessly around the top of multiple zone defenses after The M...

hrstrat57

Folks our HC just bolted for UConn!! UConn!!!!! Many remember hating those dawgs more than the Friars. I sure did. To many of us around these parts that is the 2nd greatest hoops sin one can make. No one will ever make the greatest sin. Cooley was a Rhody asst btw ain’t the same. Y’all might wanna r...

hrstrat57

Yeah calm down TP

We’ve sold our soul for rocknroll before....

hrstrat57

I’m thinking I might not swear at Martelli anymore.

He’s loyal to Hawk Hill.

Well we had Frank Keaney anyway so there’s that.

UConn? I still can’t believe it.

Gross.....

hrstrat57

An athletic director can never let student athletes dictate who to hire as HC. Never. Is there another Jack Kraft out there who will make good on taking Rhody hoops the rest of the way? Could Preston Murphy recruit better players than Cox? Perhaps with a bench coach like Tom Penders by his side? 2 s...

hrstrat57

Y’all need to clean up your Hurley worship signatures it appears. From one cow college to another for more money. Demands met 100% and still walks ? Shocking and couldn’t be more disappointing. Enjoy the new coach search folks. Word has it Pitino is available. Maybe we can get Lamar on the search co...
