I just want to beat Brown, win 9 A-10 games, and not get beat in the Tuesday afternoon PIG. We need to be better than the last two years. So, “not sucking” would be what, getting the single bye? Not getting to far ahead. Players still to come, and go? Yeah. That is where people are at. Forget about...

I don't know who it was, maybe Richard Jefferson, at the end of the Mavs-Clips game said, "in a 7 game series, the team that loses Game 1 has the advantage...because they'll make adjustments...and the other team will just maintain status quo..." Riiiight.....

I found this quote from Bassy about Archie in the Projo interesting: “He just talked about how freely he wanted me to play this year. He wasn’t going to really coach how he did the first year in terms of being on guys and begging people to do stuff.” Is he changing, evolving or has he given up? Jus...

Maybe……if we change to an uptempo belly to belly to belly 94 ft pressing defense as soon as they toss the ball up….run platoons in and out, but, “we ………………………..” What is, "we don't do that here "? Correct. Same category? For $1,000; what else does Archie say often in pressers? (Hint, lots...

I hope it's not House. That would suck. I love Cam, but I'd get it if he left. It seems like Luis really likes Rhody, so I don't think it's him, but you're right. Someone will leave 100% Just to clarify, you would rather lose Cam than House if we have to lose someone? I hope not, because that's cra...

In this case, I'd go with mpg, ppg, rpg, and assists per game. Others may differ... Ben is a much better player than Bassy....right now. And I'm not one of the ones who dislikes Bassy. I guess it depends where Ben ends up as to what kind of stats he has. There is absolutely no way you can make that...

I'm away from my computer, so I can't do a ton of searching right now. But last time I looked, graduation rates have increased, because players have more of an incentive to stay eligible - because they can play immediately. https://www.ncaa.org/news/2023/12/6/media-center-student-athletes-graduate-...

Bassy is back haha wow that’s wild. Starting PG if I were to guess Bassy has to be penciled in as the starting PG. Don’t see any way Thomas accepts URI’s offer and not be the starting PG in his final year of eligibility. Do you think that was promised? I'm not sure...I almost think he'd have come h...

Serious question. Are minimum credit load, minimum GPA, graduation rates etc, still a thing any more? It must be fun being in the admissions offices across the land? Remember how important APR was? How can that be applied now with so much movement which undoubtedly will lead to lower graduation rat...

I put this in another thread too - I have been mentally preparing myself for this the past 36 hours since I heard. Even 3 years ago with David Cox, we said the kid was a good, fast, pure PG with good court vision and great ball handling. He just lacked the size or offensive capabilities to be a bon...

Everyone here should be expecting WAY more in Archie’s third year than getting a one year rental Sebastian Thomas. He’s better, but not a needle mover at all. Disappointing. Actually !5, I am really good with it. I was very impressed that we were able to land a player like Lawrence who made an impa...

Bassy will have a more productive year this year than Hammond. Mark it down. I can very much see that happening. and it's nothing against Hammond....maybe someday he'll be really good. I just don't see that day being next season...and it's a one season game these days. Kinda like fantasy football.....

Just so ironic to me Hammond decommitted (supposedly) because Kenny left, and now he’ll go to to a school where Kenny isn’t coaching at either lol I think Lawrence is the reason he left If Lawrence is more of a 2 than a 1, why would that make Ben leave?

RIFan, over the years, I have often wondered why the university can’t build more pride.

Exactly how many big donors do you think there are for URI? Look at our endowment for example. We are not in the top 150 for endowment size.
