Important note from Zag's article: Terrell will play in a three-guard set with incoming guard Jarvis Garrett and sophomore E.C. Matthews. “They’ll play three guards, so all three of us will be playing with the ball in our hands and will be able to do multiple things,” Terrell said. A PG (Garrett, Mi...

LET THE GIF PARTY COMMENCE!

TP, a team did it over the past 2 years. We played them each year actually. Does Larry Brown ring a bell? SMU was NEVER a basketball school. Ever. In 2013, they recruited Kevin Frazier, an ESPN Top 100 SG, and 4 star recruit. In this upcoming recruiting class, he has the 5th ranked recruit IN THE N...

Gerard Coleman officially transferring. I'd rather have him than Ingram, personally. Notable: The 6-foot-4 shooting guard is expected to go back to New England for his last season. http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/24559801/gerard-coleman-transferring-from-gonzaga-...

Draft wasn't particularly impressive. Easley, their first round pick, DE, has had two major knee injuries. Apparently he has enormous potential, but his knees scared a lot of teams off. They took Garoppolo way too early. I don't know if he's that much better than any QB taken in the later rounds (4-...

Andrew

Why would apparel contracts have anything to do with recruiting? I'm in the dark on this one.

Andrew

We have scholarships for both Terrell and Ingraham, correct? Also, a 6'2" SG (Terrell) and a 6'7" SG/SF (Ingraham) are not redundant players, so it may not be a straight plan A and plan B situation. Yes, space for both. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AunH0BfS-_mxdG1GX01XYkhz...

TP's new avatar and title is hilarious.

Nice spin here:

Beautiful day; let's seal the deal on this one. We need it!

Late bloomer? The offer seem much higher than his scouting grade, and it doesn't look like the competition is too stiff in that video.

Andrew

Andrew

Really surprised, honestly. Let's hope he can get (and keep) his affairs in order. Sounds like the year off was a good thing for him and his family. Frontcourt is crowded, especially if we get Gustys. There'll be minutes for all though, with the amount of fouling we've demonstrated we're capable of.

Andrew

Thanks for the clarification. I was operating under the presumption that PC/BC were official, while we were left in the dark. If they get unofficial visits and we don't, we're 99.9% out.

Andrew

Someone mentioned this earlier in the thread, but perhaps I missed when/if it was answered: Terrell already took an official here in the fall. Is he allowed to take another official here? If he's not allowed to take an official here, then no visit makes sense. (Although he could take an unofficial, ...

Andrew

Uh oh... losing out twice would be really tough.

Andrew

Hoping for good news! Best wishes to you and yours.

Poor man's Mo Alie-Cox?

Great how that article points out how the state has to dedicate more funds to "corrections costs". I'm not sure of the exact dollar figure, but I believe it's ~$40k+ a year per inmate at the ACI. Free healthcare, free education, etc.. for criminals. I could go on a huge rant, but I'm not....

Andrew

That article reads like an old version of Bleacher Report (ie. before they hired outside talent). In his author bio, he has a "master degree"... it's obviously not in proofreading.

Yes. Handy scholarship spreadsheet:

Andrew

This is a silly exercise to speculate whether he's here or not. Until there's an official announcement, no reason to have pages of Hare speculation. It's in every thread.

Andrew

I see EC/Hallice the same way I see Gustys/Hare. I would take both of them 10/10 times over either one or the other, and I see no point in trying to argue who is better because it really doesn't matter. Give me all of the talented guys I can get and we'll figure out how to use them later. In Hallic...

Let's go get him!

Chris DiSano's preferences: a) Mid-point of career (at least 15 years exp.) i. Need someone who still possesses fire ii. Former head coaching experience a plus b) X & O pedigree; a veteran sounding board for Hurley re: tactics c) Strong recruiting network http://coxsportsonline.com/2014/04/prest...

Andrew

If he accepted URI counter offer, he could easily be perceived as using BC to get a raise. What would his stock be down the road when another school was considering him. eg. I don't want to get involved with this guy because he used BC before to get a raise. This is how most raises are negotiated i...

Andrew

Why do you say that, Iggy? What's the difference between now and then?

Andrew

Honestly surprised we made such an aggressive offer, and the coach in waiting thing seems so strange this early in Hurley's tenure. Can't blame him for leaving for more money, but the salaries were competitive enough, IMO. Can't say administration didn't try to keep him, that's for sure. Best of luc...

We don't know if Preston was offered a raise yet or not.

Playing devil's advocate: is Preston worth 160K? Or, can you find someone who can give you at least 65% of Preston at 100K, and spend the difference in salaries towards other improvements?

Andrew

But Florida is the exception to this rule. If anyone of you are on Twitter, enjoy this handle: http://www.twitter.com/_floridaman

RJ, wonder why Biggie is happy? The guy who's going to take his job just signed. Something tells me he and Preston didn't see eye to eye. And you're basing that off less than 140 characters? Maybe he did well on a test. Maybe his friends from Philly came to visit, or vice versa. Maybe he took a gir...

Andrew

Any preferences on a replacement?

Andrew

Let's hope his promotion to Associate Head Coach keeps him here.

Andrew

This is exciting; really outside-the-box thinking. If we don't have Hare or Gustys, is it still bad? We'll have Biruta, Iffy, Watson, Martin in the frontcourt, and this kid redshirting. Even with foul trouble, how many good big men are in the A10? A stretch shooter is key, IMO. Edit: Found a couple ...

Andrew

Great to hear. Glad to have him.

Andrew

Thought you all might like this. It's an interesting read. Please do not take this to mean that I'm implying that anyone in this thread did or did not stretch numbers.

Two things about this that strike me: this is a kid that graduated from college (I think in three years) and this happened in Toronto, I believe. Obviously neither of those are anything approaching mitigating factors - that isn't my point. It's just so improbable on both fronts that it's hard to be...

Yeah, just every single one of those murderers were big time gamers. FACT! Try reading. This from NY Time: "The young men who opened fire at Columbine High School, at the movie theater in Aurora, Colo., and in other massacres had this in common: they were video gamers who seemed to be acting o...

This whole thing is really sad. Quite a few lives wasted, if Bigby and associates are found guilty. Since this has turned into a brief discussion, You guys are all correct, but the school killings, have all been committed by middle class white males. Loners, who were gamers, living in a hate filled ...
