I'm assuming we are resigning with Adidas, as EC and Jared are supposedly going to Adidas Nations this year.

Dre3000

I'm not sure why anyone thought we were going to get commitments this early. Truth is there are not many programs on our level getting verbals this early from their top prospects. We could certainly get some commitments right now but they'd be from prospects that wouldn't bring too much excitement f...

Dre3000

Additionally we have added a guy that was previously the video coordinator at Harvard... didn't get his name or can't remember it from the convo.

Dre3000

Hearing Chris Martin will be leaving the program... no indication of where he's headed next.

Dre3000

On campus tomorrow!

Dre3000

Bird man is right, the team will be going to the Bahamas instead...

Dre3000

Also visiting supposedly

Dre3000

Visiting tomorrow!

Dre3000

Hopefully in March we're calling one of these bigs our most improved player

Dre3000

Absolutely!

Dre3000

I definitely think Jarvis is a good player, I just think we have more potential with Dowtin. When judging body of work you have to also include his performance against Jack Gibbs at Davidson, the fact he lead the conference in assist to turnover ratio, the fact he started on a team that won the conf...

Dre3000

Speaking of short memories, it's just amazing how people here forgot just how exceptional Jarvis Garrett was, when he was healthy. Or with a broken jaw. Kid gives it everything he has. He deserves more loyalty from fairweather fans. Actually, broken jaw Jarvis (and just before broken jaw) is probab...

Dre3000

Nothing to do with money. It was agreed upon prior to the team going on its run that Dan needed to replace Carr with an experienced veteran coach that could assist with game planning and in game management. Give credit to Thorr who despite the end of season success, stuck to his guns. This is compl...

I always wondered why they don't play two games on long road trips. Line up a game after Alabama (say, Charleston). Wouldn't be too hard and I would think it would be cheaper than two separate road trips. I thought they could've done that when they went to Nebraska, too. Probably mostly due to not ...

Can't blame him for moving to a better job, but I'll miss him.

Plus much closer to his hometown!

Pretty sure this is a mistake. Jim Carr is no longer with the program, as implied by his series of tweets.

Dre3000

Exactly my thoughts TP...

Dre3000

I think the correct legal term would be something along the lines of "administrative leave with pay". With an understanding that there will not be a renewal of his contract. I was told he was not fired. But wow, those tweets

Dre3000

We might as well say it...Tom Moore will be joining the staff and has been around at the workouts for a few weeks now.

Dre3000

I just think Dowtin only started half the season and has more meaningful wins than Jarvis has his whole career. And that's not a knock on Jarvis but more just how special Dowtin is. Leading the A-10 in assist to turnover ratio is no small feat!

Dre3000

1. Jeff Dowtin
2. EC Matthews
3. Jared Terrell
4. Stanford Robinson
5. Cyril Langevine

Off the Bench
1. Jarvis Garrett
2. Nicola Akele

4. Andre Berry

6. Ryan Preston
7. Michael Layssard
RS: Christion Thompson

Dre3000

Committed to Bonnies, probably sold on replacing Adams and Mobley.

Dre3000

I think what's most important here is that the staff, AND players got to see all these players in workouts. Out of everyone that visited (and trust me there were more than what was reported), everyone felt Preston was the top choice. Will he need to develop? Yes. But maybe it's the staff betting on ...

Dre3000

There's no need to hold off on calling him more explosive than Hassan. Again just telling what I've been told. Check out his highlight and/or his Instagram. I could see it being true.

Dre3000

Pretty sure he's 6'7 not 6'8" or 6'9". I was told slightly taller than Hassan. But more explosive than him, which as we know is saying a lot! Needs to clean up his offense, but he can catch the ball, rebound, defend, and run the floor.

Dre3000

The waiver was so Iverson could have two years of eligibility instead of 1.5 years. He was actually one of the last people to be granted such waiver. Normally he would have had to sit the whole first half of the 2015-2016 season, as he was a mid-year transfer.

Dre3000

FYI...that's Ty Boswell in the tweet. This is what I was alluding to in the Juiston thread. He's been moved up, only coaches are allowed to recruit off campus.

Dre3000

Like Ace and Rambone said, they can sign if Boswell becomes an assistant coach.

Dre3000

We beat VCU twice in a week , win the conference , go further than VCU in the tourney, keep OUR coach and still get beat out for recruits?? We did not get beat out here. Word is after seeing him with our players he wasn't going to be much of a contributor. No surprise he committed to VCU. I just ho...

Dre3000

Personally I'd rather save the scholarship. Based on history I'm leaning toward the opinion that our bigs will be good enough to be successful next year. Let's not forget that Earl barely played when he was a junior when everyone seemed to think he was at least serviceable. For whatever reason our c...

Dre3000

Heard a rumor last night that pretty much assures we won't be getting Juiston. Not gonna say exactly what but it should be known within the month.

Dre3000

I just confirmed he'll be on campus tomorrow, Lane will be here Saturday.

Dre3000

I think it's safe to say anybody being recruited from the Maryland or DC area is Dave Cox. Same would be said of the South and ARD. NY/NJ is probably some combination of Carr and Hurley with the early leg work being done by Carr. And any New England prospect is most likely the work of Boswell (behin...

Dre3000

Cameron Johnson from Pittsburgh sounds like he might be the type we're looking for though not sure he's looking to move down a level. Listed as a 6'10" guard eligible right away with two years to play.

Dre3000

JT3 made $2.8 million for the 2015-16 season. Some reports are that he made less in 2016-17 ($2.6). Either way GTown isn't paying Dan that much. JT3's pay was due to his earlier success. Based on the market the max I see GTown giving Dan is around $2 million. Still much more than what he would earn...

Dave Cox

I think our own Coach Cox is closer to getting any kind of head coaching job than Preston or Luke right now. This to me seems like the best way to keep the roster intact as well as any recruiting momentum. He was mad on Daron so he wouldn't leave and all the players love Cox. Also as others have no...

Really? Want to go over the list of frontcourt players who were recruited and never even visited? Sorry, Bill Self and Marshall watched this kid in person. I don't care what type of relationship this guy has or not with an assistant coach, when the name coaches show up, players notice. It's flatter...

from the Gtown board "Hurley has had virtually no success at URI until a 4 day run through the mediocre A10 tourney. Was 19-17 in that same conference last year. One 4 day run should not put him anywhere near the top of the list." Mods please move this post where it belongs...In the Baron...

Dre3000

Take this for whatever you want. Spoke with someone (thats very credible) last night about Hurley. I was told he has had conversations with Georgetown and while he hasn't been offered the position, if he is offered, he's going to accept. Sounded to me as if Hurley may not be their top target.

Anyone that thinks Dan wouldn't take Georgetown, if offered, is crazy in my opinion. If making the tourney is still what matters to him, think about what the Big East just did. 7 out of 10 teams in the dance. We squeaked in as the third best team in the A-10. It's also not a rebuild, as they had eno...

blueram, not all of them but most of them...... If we get to Sunday by beating Dayton, I give us a 75% chance of getting in even if we lose the final......I would like to think we would be a lock but with past history.....you can't assume that. And if Gibbs goes bananas like he did against us and w...

Dre3000

I think it's win the A10 Tournament or no dice. I don't see the A10 being a 3 bid league, especially when Dayton and VCU have clearly separated themselves from everyone else in the A10 when it comes to their record and play in the A10. Actually VCU SHOULD have 2 more losses. If we beat them today t...

Dre3000

I wonder what, if any, impact Bernadette McGlade's statement last year in regards to St Bonnie's will have this year. Really hard to imagine two years in a row an A-10 team with better than a 30 rpi doesn't get in. Could be wrong but I just don't see it!

Dre3000

I'm not so sure that Dayton doesn't need this game as bad as we do. Right now our resume's are pretty similar, they have fewer losses and more wins but a weaker SOS. Their best win is a home win against us. A top 50 road win against us solidifies them in the tourney most likely. A loss and we probab...

Dre3000

Easy mistake to make, but that was one of Hassan's older brothers (they favor each other the most of the brothers) not Malik. But yes most of the family was in attendance last night with the exception of his oldest brother and Malik.

Dre3000

I have an honest question: Of those that are upset with the team's performance to date, if this team ends up making it to the tourney and Dan leaves, would you be upset, indifferent, or glad? It almost seems as if no matter what happens this year some fans think it should be good riddance. Just curi...
