So you believe that? It's actually true. Lost by 7, Berry had 26 (lead all scorers) on 11/14 shooting, but I heard he also gave up a lot of points on defense. 3 point shooting was atrocious again going 1/11 and both teams stunk it up for the first 8 minutes of the scrimmage. With 12 left in the fir...

The scrimmage is tonight at Harvard, not sure what time though.

Not good for the conference need as many teams at full strength as possible during non-conference play!

sorry here's Bill's tweet. The RhodyMBB tweet above replies to this tweet https://twitter.com/billkoch25/status/817530780465369088 Sorry but there needs to be some context to this tweet.

To be fair Koch has said when fans don't show up The Ryan Center isn't a difficult place to play. That's not a false statement and I don't think that statement applies to the PC game either because it's always packed. The point is if every game was like the PC game we'd have an insane home court adv...

From a quick glance we will play 16 or 17 (if we play Vandy) of these top 100 scorers. Great schedule put together by our staff.

All I was saying in that first post was that as a freshman Stan played pretty well in the Big 10. I don't think it could be said that he was in over his head. The following year Indiana brought in the #20 player in the country that now plays for the Sixers (Blackmon). Additionally, Stan was getting ...

Balanc ended up at the right level and so will A Harris. How do you know there correct level? That's still TBD. Stan Robinson perfect example out of HS. Not so good at IU but perfect URI. Way to early to tell. A lot of is fit & development to see how these young players develop. Stan's freshman...

I personally do not think this class means anything in terms of Hurley staying. I do however think it now pushes Cox much closer to being a serious option to replace Hurley when he ultimately moves on.

If anyone could keep this class, and guys currently on the team from leaving IMO it'd be Cox.

Dre3000

So my question is...when did he make his decision to have enough time to cut that Lamar Odom / URI / highlight reel? That wasn't anything you could throw together in a few hours. I'm pretty sure URI cut that and sent it to him as part of their pitch. The LeBron one was Xavier's, you could see their...

This is correct. He'll be helping with the operations side of things within the program.

Devoe did in fact commit to Georgia Tech!

Dre3000

He got in late Thursday night and will be here until tomorrow morning I believe.

Dre3000

For the record, Toppin wasn't offered here not just due to his academics but because it wasn't believed he'd be good enough to play here this year or next. Likely won't contribute much until his RS Soph year.

Based off no inside info, but if that happens I think he's ours.

Also Biggie and Jarelle still graduated first. Iffy wasn't pushed out he walked away from basketball the day before opening night because he felt he wouldn't pass his classes traveling throughout the season. The coaches were blindsided by it.

Dre3000

I think we need to really calm down on the "encouraged transfer" talk. It's funny to me that not long ago that was what some felt should happen with Andre Berry because we had a 3-star stud coming in named Mike Layssard. Berry has progressed pretty well to the point where he'll get decent ...

Dre3000

They are as confident as they can be going against who they're going against. With that said could Kansas, Maryland, or WVU come in and woo him? Absolutely, but as of now I've heard similar things as the others that say he's leaning towards us.

Bird on twitter seems to believe that URI would be fortunate if Harris commits tomorrow. Many here think they might try to slow roll him to wait out Adams, Williams, Doherty, Harris, etc but sounds like they aren't and would take a verbal from him tomorrow.

We all do realize Stan "couldn't shoot" before he got here too right?

Dre3000

Wasn't sure where to put this... but WOW Ryan Preston can get up there! Russell too for a little guy!

Dre3000

You can definitely commit on visits, and coaches usually try to get commitments from their top recruits on campus. Last recruit I remember committing on their visit was Dowtin.

Dre3000

GW just announced their 13 game OOC schedule. They open with an exhibition match against. Fairmont State. They play Xavier in the Las Vegas Invitational and then either K-State or Arizona State. Other notable opponents are Florida State (away), Penn State (away), Miami (home) and Temple (home). Wil...

Not sure what to say about this one. He is not rated by any sites. Remember, he will be the replacement for EC, Jared and Stan who were all 4* recruits. It doesn't add up for me. Those three have pretty different skillsets though. You don't want three ECs, or three Jareds, or three Stans, probably....

Dre3000

In terms of guards, Cox has brought in Stan, Jeff, and now Fatts. We should definitely trust his ability to identify talent, especially at the guard spot. If he thinks Harris would be a good fit with our team I trust him. The question is whether or not Harris is a high priority or a next tier recruit.

Dre3000

Winning road games is never easy. If you don't think we should lose to either Alabama or Nevada than I guess you are going to pick us going 28-2 or something to that effect. Because on paper, and according to Vegas, those will likely be two of the toughest games we play all season. NIT and PC on ne...

Wanted to drop this here real quick because I hadn't seen it posted or reported anywhere. A couple days ago speaking with someone in the program about the trip I found out that Dave Cox coached both the games out there. Supposedly Hurley sat up in the stands the entire time. Not sure if there was an...

I heard possibly at Nevada, though there were some other rumors floating of schools initially being willing to play us and then backing out. Nevada would be interesting as they just won the Mountain West last year. Not sure how good they're supposed to be this year though. Not saying this is the gam...

Big congrats to Boswell on getting his first recruit as a coach here (Jared was really his first). Let's keep things rolling! Welcome to URI Dana Tate!

Gonna be a bright and sunny day in Rhode island tomorrow!

Dre3000

Not sure who it was that reported they'd be playing the Bahamian national team but I'm pretty sure that's incorrect. From what I understand they'll be playing 2 different "all-star" teams there. Similar to what UNC did a few years ago.

Dre3000

After seeing Preston in person at basketball camp a few weeks ago, I put him in the same category as Nicola, in that he's a 4 not a 5. Although reports are that he's 6'7" I'm not sold. I'll be at the practice on Saturday to get a better feel but I highly doubt he'll play the 5. Though admittedl...

Dre3000

Sorry but I don't see him redshirting. I actually think he'll get 8-10 minutes a game for no reason other than we have some VERY foul prone bigs between Cyril and Berry. I don't see us going 4 guards plus Akele on the floor. So Layssard will get minutes out of necessity IMO.

Dre3000

Only one thing: If it's true we're the one, why would the other schools "waste" a visit? Doesn't quite add up from their point of view. It makes sense to me: 1. Top 100 bigs don't grow on trees so you take your chance. 2. Every coach feels like once they get a kid on campus anything can h...

Dre3000

No inside knowledge or anything but I'd be willing to bet we're looking to sign 3 in the fall and then bring in a couple traditional transfers to get a little more recruiting balance. It's pretty obvious we'll be bringing Dana Tate in on an official, probably Jermaine Harris, outside of those two I ...
