You really see the difference between a FR and SO when you compare Dana and Mekkhi’s physique.

PC catching Kansas-like heat for having an artist on stage using profanities and the N word repeatedly.
Seems like some old white people are making a lot of bad decisions with their artist bookings.

bigappleram

If it's not from a source is it from the kid? How do you know how he felt if not from him, or someone close to him?

bigappleram

Just saw that. I have a feeling we MIGHT be underrating this team. I don't think so, at least not yet. Having us ranked as the 4th best team in the A10 feels exactly right for us at this moment in time. We haven't proved that we should be ahead of any of the Top 3 who all return as much if not more...

RhodyMBB insta just posted some behind the scenes from the photo shoot. It shows Toppin jumping over Cyril to dunk. Talk amongst yourselves.

bigappleram

I think Toppin is going to give Harris the run for the money. Met him at the season ticket event. Very poised and mature. And he seems like a fun loving guy. I think he will be a diamond in the rough like his brother. I think Toppin will explode his Soph year. A year in the system and a year of str...

bigappleram

Him and Walker both had their head above rim and arms extended over the box on those combine vids. Never a bad thing.

bigappleram

I agree with 104 that the interlocking RI shirt looks more like a practice jersey then a game uniform...I know it isn't but that's what it looks like.

bigappleram

This shows you the sham that is high school scouting...from zero to hero without bouncing a ball or playing a game. What a joke.

bigappleram

is that a 4th uniform or just a black & white photo of the keaney blue version, i thought the latter but could be wrong?

bigappleram

Yes but he’s 6’9/6’10 with a 5 man skills. Not good for the NBA.

bigappleram

I like the block letters a lot, has a retro vibe to it. Also agree those navy blue unis are fire. The Keaney blue with interlocking RI looks more like a practice uni to me.

bigappleram

Next year they will still likely have Duke, Reeves, Bynum, Watson, Gannt and Nichols. That’s a pretty strong group still, i am sure Cooley has his eyes on secondary options behind his primary targets.

bigappleram

Yes and like us last year I am sure Cooley has his Plan B's and will move to those if he whiffs on his priorities.
You aren't going to snag any 4 or 5 stars if you don't pursue them, you will lose a lot more than you win but doesn't mean you stop trying.

bigappleram

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

It’s a recruiting visit. What type of buzz are you expecting?

bigappleram

No pass rush and seemingly any receiver can run free over the middle. Not a good combo.

bigappleram

It all comes down to the OOC. A10 has to perform significantly better than past 3 years. If the top 4 knock off some Top 50 teams in OOC and all come into league play with NET ratings in the Top 60 then 4 bids is possible as all ships rise even if they beat each other up a bit.

If you’re looking at important in terms of opportunity then it is definitely that. But if we define it as a season make or break game, then I’d tend to agree with you. I think I’d give Katz the benefit of the doubt that he’s looking at it more in terms of the potential impact on the college basketb...

We will be playing a secret scrimmage vs BC on 10/20

bigappleram

But we always play a few cupcakes, low level games. And we always have a chunk of games when students aren’t on campus. What we don’t always have is PC at the RC, plus 5 other home games against Top 75 opponents in a year when we expect to Dance or come might close. It would be disappointing if aver...

bigappleram

I do think the expectation is that URI will have a postseason chance...NCAA/NIT. And we are also coming off our most successful attendance season in a year we did not qualify for a postseason tourney, whereas the interest garnered during Hurley years still seems to be strong. While the schedule is t...

bigappleram

Go straight Erhardt era and pass on almost every down.
Only runs should be with Dorsey in as Wildcat QB, eliminate the Bryant dives up the middle from Priore.
Spread out the passing game tho to be more dynamic. Get TEs, FBs, others involved. Be creative.

bigappleram

Has anyone heard any read on ticket sales? Are we trending up vs last year? Given the strength of schedule and anticipated strength of the team I would hope we break attendance records this year.

bigappleram

https://expandtheboxscore.com/articles/mid-major-players-to-watch/ They highlight 3 players. Would have been nice to see how Cyril would handle Lamb if we could have gotten a game with Vermont. The battle I'm looking forward to is Cyril vs Nate Watson. Watson is going to be a problem for PC opponen...

bigappleram

It’s just a waste of 2 of the most dynamic offensive players we have had in a while in Parker and Dorsey. You can literally throw it up and Parker wins the jump ball 9 times out of 10. So disappointing the kid won’t go out a winner he’s a generational talent for us.

bigappleram

Struggling offensively and 1 touch for Dorsey. It’s a travesty.

bigappleram

The kid Garro is phenomenal. I’ve seen a few reports of the most active and engaged social media accounts in FCS, and ours is always in the Top 20 despite our on field results. His content is dynamic, edgy and built for the younger fan base.

bigappleram

Georgia Tech just was put on probation and ruled ineligible for the 2019-20 ncaa tourney due to “impermissible benefits” that occurred during Josh pastner’s tenure.

Seems like Kansas, Arizona should end up with same fate. But they are blue bloods so time will tell.

bigappleram

I believe that Harvard team from last year was without Aiken and Towns, both of whom are back this year and both of which were highly regarded players. On top of that they added Chris Ledlum a Top 100 player who is going to be a helluva talent in the Ivy. They may be slightly overrated, and we are d...

bigappleram

Seems like over the last couple years Stony Brook has been a physical defensive team and a power running team. Not necessarily the best matchup for Rhody based on what we have seen thus far.

bigappleram

Same thing is going to happen to Arizona for sure. Creighton as well. But still unclear what the penalties will be and all they keep saying is that won't be finalized for 9 months.

bigappleram

Dorsey averages 15 yards a touch and only gets the ball 3 times in the game. Do the NY Giants and Rhody share play calling secrets? We go to the wildcat for a short span of the game and then never do it again. Get that kid the ball in space he is electric. Going to be a waste of a few tremendous guy...

bigappleram

Good to very good recruiter. Mediocre coach.
We play way too conservative, as if coaching not to lose. Unimaginative play calling. We have 2 potential NFL players on offense and we are 0-3.

bigappleram

Parker is a stud and best player on the field every game

Our defensive line has been bullied now for 2 straight games. No pressure on QB and gashing runs right up the gut.

Our play calling continues to be a big weakness. Lacks imagination. More should be done to put ball in Dorseys hands.

bigappleram

Dam Saturday math. You are right RF

bigappleram

Using these rankings we will play 13 games against Top 75.
6 of those at home
6 away
1 neutral

Best Rhody schedule in as long as I can remember.
If we reach our ceiling I have to imagine we will break the attendance records. Prediction contest should be extra fun this year.

bigappleram

Yes seem a like a true combo guard. Love his build and his high shooting % and ability to finish with either hand seems to indicate he got a lot of buckets inside the 3 pt line. Built like a bull. Scouts also point to his high bball IQ which translates excellent for a lead guard/PG.

bigappleram

Based on his videos, scouting reports and muscular build he clearly looks like more of a slashing/attack the paint kind of guard, vs a perimeter scorer. I think the low number of 3 pt shots vs his other shots (12.5% of total attempts based on EYBL stats) seems to also indicate that.

bigappleram

Finishing .500 would most likely mean Rhody loses to every Q1 and Q2 team on their OOC schedule. Losing to Maryland, Alabama, LSU, W Virginia, PC & W. Kentucky. Beating LIU, Nicholls St, North Texas, Manhattan, Middle Tenn & Brown. Not exactly impressive wins. That would be a horrible resul...

bigappleram

I wanna see Dana with confidence. Kid is talented but was scared and hesitant. Umm he was a freshman. If he looks scared or hesitant as a veteran it’s worth mentioning, many FR struggle trying to get acclimated. They were usually the best player on their team for their entire life then college come...

bigappleram

IMO Rhody and Bonnies should be ranked higher. There is no way there are 6 teams in the Big East better than PC this year, so they should be higher too. Dayton seems about right but I think they will play into being a Top 40 team this year, CSM has them more highly regarded than other media which is...

Either this staff follows the Biggie motto of “bad boys move in silence” or this is not going to be a good recruiting period for us. Way too quiet in this section for my liking.

Played for RI Elite in AAU this past Spring and had a big season. I have no idea if he is a RI kid but its AAU so no reason to be from RI to play for a team called RI Elite

bigappleram

The kids at A10 Talk are just that, kids, and their takes on things are generally off base or amateur-ish. Understandable given they are kids, but somewhat embarrassing given they can be seen as the Twitter handle for the league.
