Alabama, an Elite 8 team, with their best three players from the following schools.

Ohio
Hofstra
North Dakota St

People really getting all pissy because we’re targeting low majors?

Isn’t this a positive by subtraction. ? +1000 - something seemed "off" with Zek, he clearly has a ton of ability but way to often he just seemed like he didn't care and didn't want to be out there. His complete lack of effort at times was both maddening and frustrating. I don't fault Arch...

I have a feeling that after Dan wins 3 or 4 national championships at UConn that he and Andrea will retire here in Rhode Island and Dan will coach his last 4 or 5 years here. I think he feels his work isn't finished here. He's 51 now, so they come back when he's 56 and he retires when he's 60. And ...

Bravo to Dan Hurley whose UConn team have dominated in the NCAAs so far, winning by 32, 17, and 30. We can bask in some reflected glory of his achievement knowing he got his most important chops at Rhody. Hurley made the right decision in taking the UConn job and going to a place, not only for a bi...

And it's f'n bullshit Rhody hoops would be rolling right now. Maybe not natty's, but perennial tournament teams and plenty of ability to knock off anyone. Blah blah blah coach K, you killed us because you had the perfect match up against is. Lucky for you we guarded a 7 footer with 6'4 Stan Robinso...

Losing Zek and Weston kind of sucks, as I was hoping one would stay, but we should be able to find players of their caliber in the portal. The question is, can we get better players than these two? If Fuchs, Farrell,Hammond, House, Cam, and Luis are sticking around, we should focus on landing a sta...

And right on cue, we won’t be returning our Top 6 scorers lol Zek is leaving.

Why is the focus just on high school players and college kids in the portal? Do any coaches go to men's leagues and see who is playing? I bet you could find some dudes who are 21 and balling, but just weren't interested in school or college a few years ago. With NIL, you could get some street playe...

Danny Sprinkle leaving Utah State after one season is such horseshit. I'm sorry, but to me that's worse than almost any player leaving. Or it's the equivalent of a beloved player leaving for a rival.

Dan wants to keep them. He specifically lobbied in that last contract to expand his pool to pay them more. They’d definitely be worthy of a job - but I think Dan wants to pay them well enough to stay, and wait out a plum P4 spot. Plus if you’re making low level HC money, why would you leave the wel...

That's also assuming Hammond stays and plays.

All the whining about the BE only getting 3 teams in is a load of crap. The top 3 teams were miles better than the next 3.

Very surprised about Thomas All Conference, tons of minutes, tons of shots, basically did whatever he wanted. Not surprised at all. Why not check out the NIL market and see what he is worth, I am sure they would accept him back anyway. Besides he may have the opportunity to join an NCAAT team. Bask...

Rhody grudges: Nevada, Oregon, Stanford (especially Lee and Madson). Big west coast flavor. Who am I forgetting ? Not counting the Friars. They hold a more special place in Rhody lore. Duke. Jimmy’s crazy game at Cameron Indoor, Mohegan tourney, the ass whooping we had against them second round.
