Re: A-10 Tournament - Keaney Blue travel and hotel plans

For Starwood people, I'm planning on staying at the Brooklyn Sheraton. Using points, but roughly $254 per night. 15 min walk to Barclays.

Re: Game #20: George Washington - Saturday @ 4pm

Lets go Rhody fans. I couldn't agree with Dan more. You can tell he's getting frustrated with the paying fans support. There's over 1 million people that live in the State. We have to be able to get 5k to go to a game on a Saturday afternoon. That's only half a percent! Just like against Nebraska, I...

Anyone else catch Abu slip at 11:08 mark and refer to Brown's Tavon Blackmon as Tavon Martin?

Trying to figure something out...

Are we playing way better than we did against PC?

or,

Is Brown playing way worse than it did against PC?

Re: '15 Ghana C - Ernest Aflakpui (Offer)

Whatever we decide to do, we're in a great spot. Excited for next year and beyond. This board is awesome. I love reading your guys' (and ladies) opinions on a daily basis. Aflak could be awesome for us. The Rams are going to need someone who can defend Chukwu other than Hare in the years to come, ri...

Re: '15 Ghana C - Ernest Aflakpui (Offer)

I don't think the program is in a position to turn down a 3-star center. That said, I agree with the need for a stretch 4. if the choice is between Aflak and a Will Daniels clone, of course you take the latter. But that's not probably the choice. You're right, it's definitely not the choice right n...

Re: '15 Ghana C - Ernest Aflakpui (Offer)

Unpopular opinion alert: Am I alone in thinking that the Rams don't need to sell out for this guy? I watched the game film posted above and honestly he looks like another Iffy to me. Not bad, but not great either. He's got good size and runs well, but I didn't see terrific rebounding or shot-blockin...

Re: '15 LA SG Christion Thompson (Rhode Island Verbal)

I like the connection via Rhody defeating LSU last season. What a great win that was and it looks to have really paid off! Exactly! Shows how on-court wins lead to recruitment wins. A great year this year will really help us in 2016 and also with whatever remaining scholarships are left for 2015. T...

Re: Christion Thompson

So, I assume that Poyser is out? Not so sure. Poyser is a definite PG. Thompson seems like a pure, off the ball SG who can shoot, rebound, and hopefully defend. With TJ graduating this year, Minnis the next, (and maybe EC the year after that), couldn't hurt to have another natural PG alongside Garr...

Re: '15 NJ PF Chris Silva (South Carolina verbal)

If the Rams put together a 20-win season or two and make some kind of post season noise, recruiting this type of guy will be like shooting fish in a barrel. We've got the talent on the roster now to do that, so patience is the key. I'm confident DH knows this and won't waste scholarships going forwa...

Re: New NCAA rules for the Power (5) conferences

Why not implement some kind of revenue sharing, where the power conferences share with the non-power conferences so that more athletes can get these same benefits (not just the ones at power conferences)? Most professional sports have this kind of arraignment between big market and little market tea...

Re: Charles Cooke, JMU transfer

Well, then that could be a problem. Dan needs roster flexibility for whatever matchups occur during the season. I thought he was a SF, too. The Rams need is definitely at 3 and regardless what Cooke says in interviews, I'm almost positive that's what Dan sees him as. I mean, at 6'6, he's a "wi...

Re: Charles Cooke, JMU transfer

Its probably between us and Dayton. That's what I'm thinking too. I don't think he sees the playing time he wants at MSU. We'll see how URI is able to recruit against the A10 team that made the most noise in the tourney this year. Dayton gained some serious cache with their run. Would be really imp...

Re: Charles Cooke, JMU transfer

Spartans look reasonably stacked at the 3 spot to me. They signed a 3 star 2014 who's 6'7 225, named Marvin Clark. Rising Junior Denzel Valentine was a starter for them last year at SF, he'll be a senior Cooke's first year. Alvin Ellis III is a 3 star, rising soph, will be same class as Cooke if/whe...

Here's the only video I was able to find on this guy. Not game film, but shows him working on his game in the gym (insert Yi Jianlian joke here). You can still get a feel for his shot, handle, size, footwork and athleticism in this video. Apparently the guy who's working him out is Deon Chew. He's g...

Pretty sure that tweet was about the BC running back, Andre Williams, getting drafted by the Giants. Some BC fans thought he was slipping in the draft, like every other running back this year.
