From the website Q&A: DOES RHODY EXCELLENCE WORK WITH RECRUITS OR PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETES? No – In compliance with NIL regulations, Rhody Excellence will not meet with, contact, offer a deal, etc. to any prospective student-athlete. Until a student-athlete has signed their NLI and/or the in...

He did not accomplish very much so gets a D from me. I sincerely hope he rights the ship. Nobody said the job was easy and that is why good head coaches make the big bucks. The front court was much improved the back court was not.

DeanDome88

I may be the high on this poll, going with lucky #11. I really do not want to see more than 2 players inbound in the portal. Why do we need to change the end of the bench as long as they work hard in practice? Are we building a culture or not? It seems strange to expect guys to play for each other w...

DeanDome88

What a waste. Very disappointed. Yes, totally agree. Unless he was a complete team wrecker and locker room cancer. Again ya can’t teach 6’11’ freshmen with some raw skills. I would call it a stain on Archie’s resume to miss with this kid. Always hard to know if it was the coach or if the player was...

DeanDome88

Did you not watch the first half? He led the team in scoring... Archie then barely played him in the second. He looks much better on the defensive end than earlier in the year. He'll be a better player next year. What are you morphing into Rhody15? I do not need your snark. Feel free to disagree bu...

It was one last bitter pill to swallow this season.

Estevez still looks like a freshman. I was hoping he would finish the year strong. Did you not watch the first half? He led the team in scoring... Archie then barely played him in the second.

DeanDome88

I suspect it will look much better next season with a floor general that has quick hands and a defense first wing player in the rotation. House is still not a good defender but gives more effort now compared to when he first got here. Fuchs is sneaky good at fighting for position. Montgomery has no ...

DeanDome88

I know we are going nowhere but still want a victory today. Teams need to learn how to win.

DeanDome88

So none of this has to do with coaching issues and Archie isn't accountable? The staff needs to up their game as well as the players. So overhauling the roster every year is the answer and who is responsible for putting it together? Oh no, I completely agree that Archie is 100% accountable for this...

DeanDome88

It looks like Dubsky can play Steve Kerr level defense . I am not claiming he is a lock down defender but the idea that he can't be on the court seems ridiculous to me.

DeanDome88

Since this game is a joke and Archie has lost this team, I did some research to avoid the torture... You're spot on about Ways, Eli. He's very bad..I'm always disappointed watching always wright and this team lately.. Corny line I know but screw it! We have people who say Bassy's numbers are horrib...

DeanDome88

I need to state the obvious: Always Wright not only cannot defend anyone he cannot run an offense. It seems each possession he runs the shot clock gets to 5 seconds and a difficult shot needs to be tried. Since this game is a joke and Archie has lost this team, I did some research to avoid the tort...

DeanDome88

I’ve always been a Weston guy but he needs to stop disappearing on offense. He took 4 shots in 29 minutes last game. I actually like his unselfishness in the half court and have never really seen him as a scorer. He seems to pass much better in the half court set than in trying to convert a fast br...

DeanDome88

That was an Archie loss. I’m not sure what more needed to be seen - but going zero bigs when adelekun was abusing Fuchs and we were getting almost doubled up on the boards is wild. To hear Archie talking about giving up offensive rebounding and not “having our guys ready” to rebound…THEN MAKE A FUC...

I hope that's why he's in the game. If not then idk what his job is.
you mean, he's not a lock down defender?

Even Steve Kerr had to play some defense.

DeanDome88

Fuchs got his money worth on that foul.

DeanDome88

Announcers who talk about where players have transferred from bore the hell out of me.

Dubsky may be a marginal athlete but it looks like he is fully coached up on the defensive system.

It'll be interesting to see if any of the guys who have not gotten many minutes achieve anything tonight. A few extra minutes up for grabs.

DeanDome88

If players aren't buying in, as Archie says, you have to send them packing. But you can't keep turning over the roster like this every year. Who's to say the transfers he brings in to replace the guys who aren't buying in, will buy in themselves? I don't know what the answer is, but this press conf...

DeanDome88

Duquesne was physical and shot very well from 3. I doubt they shoot that well in their dreams. Officials with a few head scratching calls. Ryan Center got LOUD there for a moment in the second half and Dubront called time out and stopped the mini rally. I do not think Always would have helped in thi...

We had to bounce to get the kids to bed but I have a legit headache.

Unfortunately it is par for the course. Loudmouth Yorke with too many amps.

Honestly, I haven't seen anyone stick with Brikus 1 on 1.. Dude is lighting fast

I am hoping he improves to average defensively by next season. He is a valuable player with even average defense.

Kortwright with another one of those turnovers where he hopes the ref will bail him out.

Foumena is a freshman. It takes bigs a season or two

He is thinking instead of reacting so he is a count behind.

DeanDome88

The last few scores for LaSalle is Foumena getting burned on defense. He will eventually learn but understand why Arch does not play him sometimes.

DeanDome88

Guy was fighting for position in the lane for over 3 seconds, way to draw attention to yourself as the refs rarely make that call.

DeanDome88

Well at least Foumena gets them in a little foul trouble even if he misses way too many.

He's a small guy with quick feet and hands. He is actually a threat to steal the ball. He should be fine on that end and in running the offense just do not expect him to be a lights out shooter because so far he is not.

DeanDome88

What a crazy flop. I hate unsportsmanlike conduct.

I would not put Wright back in unless the bench was depleted. He is struggling.

If Fuchs is not getting shoved he grabs that rebound.

These offensive boards are making a big difference in this game.

DeanDome88

It would have taken a win vs the Bonnies to have me possibly jump on the Rhody bandwagon this season. They looked so bad losing against weak teams in the Ryan Center that I had a hard time believing that adding David Green would make enough of a difference for Rhody to be a good team this season.
