https://twitter.com/VerbalCommits/status/1409894644658315274?s=20 He would be an immediate impact player as a grad transfer. Good size at guard (6'5") and stats 14.3 pts/2.5 assists. He is from Brooklyn/NY and a former 4* recruit. Not a shot in hell. We are stocked at the guard spot. No more m...

That statement makes zero sense. ZERO. Guarantee of Cox fails here, he will go someone and be HIGHLY paid to be TOP recruiter. I agree with the greater point but not the ALL CAPS words. Is he going to be a top assistant for a program comparable to URI? Maybe that is believable. Don’t see him landin...

They did land him

That's what it is about Cox. He can get talent here because he's a great recruiter and a good guy. He hasn't shown that he can coach them once they get here. And I think, with another sukkfest of a season, people will stop saying he's a great recruiter...my guess is that without winning, that dries...

I hope this shuts this unfounded theory up about Tres. He’s fine, been fine, and will be fine.

DC_Rams

Thorr imo will not wait much longer for URI to contend for an NCAA berth. Cox's leash has almost reached it's end. For those of us who have been following this program for a long time, when we have hired coaches, success either follows very soon after those hires, or it doesn't at all. Several exam...

The "good old days" of URI BB, as infrequent as they were, may become our only memories of success going forward, sad to say. There will always be a few mid majors who will flourish [at least occasionally] in the future, but that number will continue to diminish...and we may never be one ...

Can’t keep anybody happy these days

IMHO the scouting failure and open admission for UMass without Mitchell was a fireable offense. You had a 3rd year head coach, who has been at major college programs for over 2 decades, in charge of a legitimate D1 basketball program in a multi-bid conference, not prepare for (and admit to) the bes...

Unlikely. There won’t be a press release for it.

Lol, yeah, there is a reason I called you out.

DC_Rams

Cox needs to step back as lead recruiter and be the closer as head coach. This allows him to do that with Bozeman's DMV connections. I was not a Sutton fan so I'm hoping this is an upgrade. Todd does add a toughness to the staff. What exactly do you mean by Bozeman adds "toughness" to the...

Did anyone say that? By the way, how many starters on next years team will be players we recruited from HS? Cool actually recruited Antwan out of HS. Ish was out of HS. Jermaine was out of HS.

Maybe 3 other candidates to keep an eye on, outside of those we previously mentioned: Raphael Chillious - Was an assistant at Washington, Villanova, UConn, and assoc. head coach at ECU. Currently basketball director at South Kent. Moved back to Ct. because of his wife's health. Serge Clement- Curre...

With a roster spot open now, maybe we go for the ALL Mitchell team and get Stefon Mitchell from BC. He already has put out a final list. It's between Utah, Minnesota, Texas A&M, and San Diego St. That was before we had a spot open and his former coach is likely our new assistant... JC will not ...

Every team in America lost kids. Some kids even started at P5’s. This transfer cannot be an indictment on anyone, but the nature of today’s NCAA. Agreed. I am disappointed though because I was expecting a breakout season. He will transfer probably down a league and dominate. I liked his upside, but...

He had put some IG story post out a month or so ago that he had received some bad news. At the time, I assumed it was part of his end of year review with the staff regarding his fit with the team next year. Total guess on my part, but I don't think the staff would jettison one of the best shooters ...

Jay Heath , BC transfer who we discussed earlier in this thread and a former URI recruit, just committed to Arizona State. He was their leading scorer the last two seasons, big pick-up for Bobby Hurley. https://www.si.com/college/bostoncollege/basketball/jay-heath-transfers-arizona-state-sun-devils...

This was not Sutton's decision. He was a good representative of the university and a nice guy. But he didn't provide Cox with the veteran support that Cox needed. I don't think so. Sutton's relationship with Cox goes back several decades, they are close. Cox would of forced the Carrolls out before ...

So you honestly think 100% of the coaching staff is returning next year? I would agree with what Stephen said above. I don't want to assume 100% of the staff is returning. There is a lot of turnover among college jobs. I also don't want to assume that Cox is happy with the performance of the staff....

Shep is great at the 2. We need a point guard who is pass first, assist first. Like Dowtin. We have no idea how Sheppard would be as a PG because Fatts initiated 70% (or more) of offensive possessions last year. I think he will be more than adequate with Ish. Also not forgetting about Carey who wil...

...and also, how do we know he didn’t reach out? Because Twitter didn’t say so?

Staff went hard after Jonah Antonio, only to be burned at the altar, and kid proved to be a stellar shooter and poor defender.

We obviously recruited Berry over him. Berry didn't even sniff the floor when this year was a redshirt year for every single player, regardless if they played or not. Would you rather have someone who has proven he can play in the A10, evidenced by him winning A10 ROY, or a kid who couldn't even fi...

The only uncertainty about Cox's status is from you and a few others on this board. He is 100% back as HC next season. All this talk is a year early and tiresome.

DC_Rams

I actually think this is a huge value add -- I get it stings when a guy says he's going elsewhere, but I said at this point last year that I was very down on Fatts and thought he was the type of player who could hijack a team on-the-court as I thought he had done in years prior based on his splits ...

DC_Rams

Good luck!

We all knew he was gone. He had been saying this was his last year here when he announced he was returning last year. No ill will, but I’ve felt he’s lost us more games than he’s won for us. Great kid and solid ball player, but him moving on was best for all parties involved.

If we can go to 2 NCAA's in 8 years going forward, that's about all we can expect. But the longer we wait, the longer it will take to go to the first of those, unless we can strike gold again.

Why is this even a thread? He’s still the coach. He will be here next year, and the same fickle, fair weather individuals will be singing his praises if he somehow turns things around with both twins available, and possibly Shepard (without Fatts). The verdict is still out, and you all would be fool...
