So far this is what our roster line-up looks like: PG - Luis, Ways, Ben CG- House, Cam Wing - Zek, Farrell SF/PF- Green PF/C- Fuchs I do like the experience returning (so far) and feel this will be a competitive group. The additional year together will help the team's chemistry and I expect the def...

Blue Man, I don't understand why you still put Bassy down and yet are so willing to deflect any blame on Archie for our wonderful season. No one is saying Bassy is a world beater but give him some credit for improving his game. Some players do make a big jump from their 2nd to 3rd year. Bassy led t...

A quick search showed DH 7th in salary

Calipari @ 9.5 and Self @ 8.6 led the way

For some reason Cooley wasn’t on that list don’t know how they missed him

Maybe it was public schools only because private schools don't have to disclose contracts?

I would happily fund PC's NIL to take on Bassy. Once again this is a kid who has splits of 43/29/70. And his stats were bolstered this year by playing on one of the worst teams in one of the worst conferences in the country. You thought our D was bad this year? Bassy's DBox +/- would have him NINTH...

Baseball, soccer and pool improvements as well

In the past you said the players have been getting paid all along but now it’s all above board. I think that was before these collectives were started by the largest schools and collectives have continued to spread. Don’t you think the players are now getting well above what they were getting under...

RhowdyRam02

Exactly! I've been waiting for the posts calling coaches selfish mercenaries who have no loyalty and are only after money. Weird how it's suddenly quiet on that front and all the concern about "culture" and "family" has disappeared! You never hear posters lamenting their lost lo...

He was. Many people were saying it would have been no big deal to fire Cox mid-season with an experienced coach like that on staff

I wonder if Hammond is waiting for the KJ decision to decide whether to decommit or not. Looks that way to me right now. I think we will be a fair amount better if he stays If not, my money's on more sucking. Bone, tell me you are not relying on 1 freshman to rectify this program. Please I am. A re...

Fuchs should have been rookie all-conference, but other than that your point stands

Our home series this weekend against St. Bonaventure has been moved to New York. Even though we'll be playing at St. Bonaventure we'll be considered the home team. We'll be playing a doubleheader Sunday and a game Monday. Tuesday's doubleheader at Stonehill has been postponed pending a makeup date. ...

Billyboy78 wrote: ↑4 weeks ago You really think UConn hasn't contacted any of the entries in the portal already?

Right? UConn and Dan had no problem discussing their head coaching position before our season ended but now it's out of control because the players are doing what coaches have been doing all along?

RhowdyRam02

Honestly, does it really matter? Even if the portal was closed guys would tweet out that they'd be entering the portal when it opens and they'd be getting contacted by schools.

RhowdyRam02

Surprised nobody else has entered the portal for us since Monday , I would have guessed 1 more by now If any of the 4th year players (Luis, House and Green) are planning on going to Europe, they won't be in the portal. So, just because their name isn't in it doesn't mean they're staying. The guys t...

Kenny is known to be one of the top recruiters and top assistants in the country. He'll do much better at a school who has the money to get highly rated players. From the results on the court in two seasons, it doesn't appear that he attracted a lot of talent to Kingston. Who were Kenny Johnson’s T...

This combined with Siena announcing they're moving on from their head coach. Makes sense his recruitment is back open

Ben Hammond and Brayon Freeman have a good chance of occupying two of those spots in some order

I hope House decides to stick with URI. If used correctly, I think he could be a stud next year. The only way to use him correctly is as a sixth man microwave guy who gets a bunch of run when he's hot and a lot of bench when he's not. Basically Fatts Russell's freshman season. A. Will we have enoug...

House, at times definitely dogged it, but with focus, he’s a very good scorer. 100%... I mean, all of us were miserable watching this team.

As I agreed to renew season tickets, these thoughts rattled around in my head. Wonder what the gain/loss of season tickets will be. Thinking net loss.

The packline is just a wrinkle of man to man defense. Sure, time in the system helps with the nuances, but it's not even as complicated as zone, which people scream about us not playing. Our defense didn't suck this year because we played packline or Archie forgot how to coach defense. Hell, our def...
