Here is another intesting article and especially the poster comments from a year ago. I especially like the one "but there's something special building at RU" - yeah, right :D http://blogs.mycentraljersey.com/hoopshaven/2012/03/21/big-loss-for-rutgers-biruta-transferring/ The RUT says: Mar...

Interesting to go back and read an article about Biruta's reason for transferring - from March 22 or last year. Note the comments by Rutger's U Posters several of whom said Rice had changed his style for the better - yeah, right But others hit the nail on the head a full year ago and saw Rice for wh...

Pretty wierd that I was thinking this yesterday morning, wrote it in the Donaldson thread, and then extension news comes out Saturday night. It could have been absolutely devasting to the URI program if Dan went to Rutgers. 1 year at Kingston and prospective Coaches would sonder what is wrong with t...

Does Dan Hurley take the Rutgers job?

ramster

1st of all I like Bill Reynold's columns, always have, first place I go to every morning is to the Sport Section, read the headlines and then go to Bill's article(s). I also like Kevin Mac, always have despite some here who feel he favors PC, I don't feel the same. Paul Kenyon is good and fair imho....

Niang was never under the radar. BABC was the National Champion and Miang was the 2nd best player on the team to Nerlens Noel. Niang was a big scorer with a wide variety of inside and effective moves to score points. He verbaled early. URI never was in the running for him. Best shot URI had was for ...

Pressure now building for AD and president to be gone too. This is not over. Do Mathews and Martin follow Hurley to Rutgers? Losing those two guys would devastate us no matter who uri gets as a new coach. Too late to replace them. I dont like how players can move with the coach with no penalty........

I agree, one could look at Rutgers as nowhere to go but up. It will be the perfect job for someone who wants the ultimate challenge. And I think the prospect of playing in the big 10 is awesome. Far better than tha alternative options of catholic 7 BE or the American athletic conference. Glass half ...

The one thing that no one seems to be taking into consideration is that Rutgers could be Hurley's dream job and the school that he wants to be his last stop, given his connections to the state and the fact that it's the state university. If that's the case he's probably gone. I'm sure he'd feel bad...

ramster

Yesterday you said he wasn't ready.
I am not near as confident as you that there is no way he takes it.
Nobody saw bobby leaving for buffalo either.
I am worried about his one.

ramster

It can't be viewed as a positive sign that the Rutger's job wasn't discussed. What is his current position to listening to other offers? IMO, DH wants it both ways. It is difficult to recruit when you are interviewing for a new job that you might not get. He wants to listen to offers. I don't think...

It's egregious because someone who purports himself to be a journalist and member of the media is chiding the fans of the state school where he earns his pay. It's one of the more amateur hour posts for a town full of 3rd rate media types with opinions. He's the radio voice of your biggest rival. W...

ramster

It is not all about making the NCAA tournament. Sharp Athletic Directors and School Presidents can see what Hurley has done at URI in just one year - it is quite an amazing story. He did more for recruiting than I expected - best two recruits of any of the 16 A10 Teams - that says a ton right there....

ramster

Ramster, you know posters saying he isn't ready is a defense mechanism. If I was Rutgers AD, I'd offer him the job. On the other hand, I can honestly say that if I was Hurley I wouldn't take it. Research the Rutgers job. That job is a death sentence for coaches. You think so? So they really think h...

ramster

Ramster and ATP, I'd put the odds of Dan leaving, right now, at 10%. I mean, he's on the cusp of creating something special here. He'll go to the Dance two or three times for every one time he'd make it at Rutgers. The money will come. He knows that. Because that's all Rutgers can offer him right n...

ramster

What a stupid name. Honestly, I wonder how much they paid some organization to come up with that garbage.
American Athletic Conference? Really? Is this April Fools?

ramster

I think he is gone

ramster

There were 10,500 fans there - all screaming for Weber State. Nice win in a very difficult place to play for East Carolina.

ramster

I don't see how people can say that Dan Hurley is not qualified at this time to take the Rutgers job. So put yourselves in the shoes of the AD at Rutgers..............would you ask Dan Hurley to take the job of Head Coach of your basketball Team? I would. Then you have to look at the opportunity to ...

If you have ever seen BABC play and saw the role that Bull played you would scratch your head as I did and wonder what was he thinking and what was the Missouri Coaching staff thinking? Mistakes with both parties. Bull did not shoot much on BABC and shooting was not his game - never was. He is a 6'3...

Ramster. URI could never have afforded Enfield. I don't see him and his super model wife enjoying New England winters, either. For sure URI could not afford him - My point is that I would take him in a NY Minute - surprised how so many are questioning USC making this move - I think it was a great m...

As much as I despise the Big East I will promise to Watch Fox and the Big East if they promise to NEVER run this worst commercial ever that will be my worse memory of the 2013 NCAA Tournament. I laughed a ton when I read all the comments about this on youtube - seems like everybody hates it as well ...

ramster

I love the hire. If we didn't have Hurley right now, like he opted for Seton Hall or Rutgers as some ruored, then I would be all over this guy. Players love his style of run, gun and dunk. Very much worth taking whatever riak there might be. You will never hit a home run unless you swing for the fen...

ramster

Josh Fortune did not impress me at all, for all the hype this guy got coming in as being this unbelieveable shooter - he shot 32% on the season from the field...................32%? and he disappeared in many games. I just don't see him playing a key role next year. In his last 10 games of the seaso...

ramster

Fly, That is why I had St john's ranked #4 - and they could easily go higher than that - they could be battling Marquette for #1. For PC I just don't think we will ever see Ledo play. I am not impressed with Derosiers, Sidiki is gone, Dunn was not the player I expected - he may blow up next year whi...

ramster

St John's Top 7 Leading Scorers this year are all back next year. Very talented group. Harrison should be back after his suspension. In the watered down C7 BE St John's talent and another year experience should move them at least to 4th. Harrison - Soph Sampson - Freshman Green - Soph Pointer - Soph...

ramster

I don't know if I would call them overrated, although I do think they overachieved. I mean I guess it can be called overrated (in terms of tourney seeding), but I never thought those teams were that great from the start. Do you know what Marquette, Georgetown, and Villanova's ranking was preseason?...

ramster

Yes, Xavier finished 9-7 in A10 good for 7th place out of 16 teams = middle of the pack The team that should run away with the Catholic 7 Conference next year, Marquette, looked bad today against syracuse shooting only 22% from the field. I thought Marquette was better than that - I overrated them m...

ramster

Georgetown is so overrated - what a joke of a program that always loses to 12-15 seed teams. Georgetown is a legend only in the minds of Catholic 7 fans. Exactly right.....the gap between the A10 and the Catholic 7 is small now. Xavier was middle of the pack in the A10, program has dropped with the ...

Going to throw out my idea for a A10/MVC challenge again. Great idea, but I'd rather have an A10/New Big East challenge....show them that they can poach our teams, but we're not going down with out a fight! Why would the BE ever do that? They would be a favorite in nearly every single game, so ther...

ramster

I don't see any team that is a 15th or 14th seed that beast Catholic Big East Georgetown in the first round a Cinderella because everyone beats Georgetown - how the Georgetown Coach survives is beyond me but he does. Ben Howland and Tubby Smith don't have Thonpson's rules that is for sure. Gulf Coas...

But pc has gone from mid-major in a blended BCS conference to a mid-major in a mid-major conference. Here is my prediction for next year with this year's record in ( ): 1. Marquette (20-6) with #26, #49 and #55 ESPN recruits coming in 2. Georgetown (25-7) with #63 ESPN recruit - then will lose to a...

Pressure from Mexico was relentless. Nice play from Geoff tonight. Our goalie really stepped up. Still amazing that a URI Grad is playing such a key role for our US Team that could go on to the World Cup in Brazil.

What does bringing Siena in now accomplish? The A10 made George Mason wait, they should make Siena wait. They've had 3 straight losing seasons in a one bid conference. Who knows who the hell they're going to hire as their coach. They might have potential, add them when they start to tap into it. I ...

ramster

Delaware and Northeastern rumors now,in addition to Siena

ramster

Turner had 35 points early in the season against the team that EC Mathews went against in the finals of the class A championship. Did make the 10 player all state team but was one of only two payers to get special mention with the other being Martel walker. http://highschoolsports.mlive.com/news/art...

ramster

thanks Rambone, That is a good question, I think it is interesting reading the Siena Board how gadly they want in the A10 - and they have wanted this for a while. The A10 has strengthened since Linda Bruno left and McGlade came in - Bruno just didn't get it. Now the A10 is a known conference and thi...

Very interesting. Siena with 3500 students, 1/10th the size of GMU but pretty common for Northeast Catholic Schools Arena is a big draw here as is there average attendance So Coaches are falling as usual this time of year. Siena fired their Coach............so the Final 4 is a big attraction - like ...

VCU isn't leaving ramster I did not say VCU was leaving. I said Butler, Xavier, Temple and Charlotte were leaving and in the future St Louis, Dayton and maybe even UMASS could leave. Never said VCU was leaving - and they are obviously not. Sorry it was such that it could be misinterpreted like that...

ramster

VCU and Butler were only with the A10 for 1 year - easy come easy go with Butler - they were never in it for the long haul Butler may very well lose their Head Coach to UCLA or Minnesota Sure we lost Xavier, Butler, Temple and Charlotte....could lose St Louis and Dayton too, maybe even UMASS The A10...

ramster

With Dayton and St. Louis likely to leave next year, the conference is shaping up into three geographical areas: GM, VCU, Richmond and GW St. Joe's, LaSalle, Duquesne URI, UMass, St. Bon., Fordham Maybe Siena hasn't been approached because A10 is looking for a fourth Philly-based team. Drexel maybe...
