That’s the thing though, at the end of the day I’m a diehard Rhody fan. I want nothing more than for Austin to sign a big time recruit today and make my takes look terrible. I hope Austin absolutely kills it this cycle and makes me look like a clown. Nothing would make me happier. But until then, I ...

STC

Austin has been here four years and his URI bio lists zero recruits he can be credited for. Sorry but I can give that same level of production for the same salary.

No issue with Kenny or Duane. Austin adds nothing.

STC

Then I hold Archie Miller 100% responsible for that. He is allowing wage theft in public sight. Fire them both! Now! It's absurd to continue this fraud. Austin adds nothing. Bro, I can pose for pics and collect a six figure check. Is that position open? Cuz sign me the fuck up. Archie owns the hiri...

STC

Don't recall anyone saying that til now. But it's Archie keeping him, nobody else. Let's se how long Archie goes with keeping your bad hire. Trying to find my scalding hot take but can’t. I still stand by Austin being nothing more than a nepotism hire, Sean’s recommendation. Austin adds zero to the...

If Austin Carroll could recruit like he collects paychecks we would be a final four team

At least we should have plenty of money in the bonus pool left over for some real impact assistants.

See I’ve been consistent in my healthy skepticism for nepo hire/Sean reco Austin Carroll.

Nah go read twitter after their second round loss. Kentucky fans citing you can’t win with mid major recruits like Toppin from URI. They are right.

STC

Further to my point, who the hell has Austin recruited? Does this dude have a pulse? I wish I coulda coasted through my 20’s on my dads reputation the way he has.

STC

Who cares if Toppin goes to St Johns, he sucks and is still riding his brother’s coat tail.

STC

Really disappointed. The odds of us backing off with all of our needs is very, very small. If Archie lost straight out to Fordham where NIL money is likely not a factor, it is more than disappointing. We expected more from Archie and staff, so far their recruiting/transfer results have been a total...

STC

Wow losing recruiting battles to Fordham? I’m an Archie guy for better or worse but if he’s visiting campus we can’t be losing these battles to fucking Fordham.

Rivera won’t make or break the Archie era but the cumulative effect of losing battles like this may be his downfall.

STC

Forgive my ignorance but why do I care what Nathan Mook had for breakfast?

STC

Enjoy Lithuania. Hopefully there is a podcast that gives a damn about him because I don't.

STC

This is before my time as a Rhody fan/alum but inject this directly into my veins.

I know you're not specifically citing Hofstra as a moribund school but.... Hofstra actually looking pretty legit under Speedy Claxton. 2021-2022 at Arkansas 89-81 W at Maryland 69-67 L at Houston 83-75 OT L at Iona 82-74 L 2022-2023 at Princeton 83-77 W Iona 83-78 W GWU 85-80 W Charleston 85-81 W Ru...

I'll be interested to see where Hutchinson lands and how his collegiate career goes. Ryan Brooks was a classic case of a guy that looks the part but couldn't play, is Lou the 3 version of that? Time will tell. There's no questioning his work ethic but ultimately, he might only end up being an averag...

STC

Memphis is a team that is consistently loaded with talent that is under performing expectations. I would expect Memphis to be a 20 win squad, as they always are under Penny, but likely to fade when the going gets tough. I didn't watch much Memphis this year (or any year) but they showed they could n...

STC

Play ball! Not optimistic about the squad Chaim has assembled in Boston. We’ll see…

STC

Earl Watson is another JUCO big that comes to mind for Rhody. Brown is taller, more athletic and has better JUCO stats than Watson so I'm hopeful about Brown's potential impact.

STC

Johnny Dawkins mid as hell, I don’t care what conference UCF is going to be in. These are recruiting battles Archie needs to win.

STC

FAU had just one 20 win season and just one NCAA Tournament appearance in there D1 existence prior to this year.

PC shoulda called Dusty, oh well….

STC

I’m so old I remember when Tomas was supposed to be the best of the Murphy’s.

Lol what makes you say that

He saw LeBron James at a gas station in South Kingstown.

I think some of Mike Anderson's failure at SJU can also be tied to his regional fit. He spent nearly 40 years in the south as a coach prior to making the move to St. John's.

STC

Going to be interesting to see where Dusty May lands following this miraculous run at FAU.

Kinda baffling PC presumably didn’t even talk to May.

PC listened to Rick Barnes instead of getting the guy that just beat Rick Barnes.

STC

Bump. Great game for this kid. Made a clutch shot in OT. Guessing he was a Sutton recruit back in the day since they are both at KState.

STC

Are any of these guys likely to be drafted or are they more likely to be UDFA?

STC

I still believe CBB is going to a GM type setup. The players are brought in by executives, and the coach deals with them. If the coach can't they get fired. LSU Football moved Brian Polian into a GM type role to oversee the portal. I think this is a position we will see pop up more in CFB and then ...

STC

I'm definitely expecting a regression in the short term from PC. Cooley had that program running like a well oiled machine so just based on that alone they are likely to take a step back. Add in the expected roster turnover in the Portal era, and how loaded the Big East is with coaches, along with E...

STC

The only place I have seen Archie linked to PC was an article in The Athletic yesterday by Brian Hamilton, who I'm unfamiliar with. He lists the following candidates as being on the "Call List": John Becker - UVM Kim English - GMU Bobby Hurley - ASU Martin Ingelsby - Delaware James Jones -...

PC's last three hires (Welsh - Iona, Keno - Drake, Cooley - Fairfield) all came from a low/mid-major schools, I think that will be the case again this time. Some of the names being mentioned - Donovan, Shrewsberry seem totally unrealistic. I guess Chris Mack won't be taking the PC job... https://twi...

Getting ahead of myself a bit, but Leggett to GTown could make some sense.

Pitino is going to St John’s and Donovan has no reason to go to PC even if he’s fired by the Bulls. Per Shams Charania article from 11/2022, “Donovan, who last season guided the Bulls to the playoffs for the first time in four years, had two years remaining on his original four-year contract and is ...

This whole revisionist history on Cooley at PC by URI fans is just odd. Dude has made the tournament in 7 of the last 9 years a tourney was held.

I’m not saying Battle is the guy but Archie must start winning some recruiting battles over P5 schools.

STC

Archie and co. can absolutely not afford to whiff this portal cycle. They need to establish some building blocks for the future.

STC

Congrats to Hurley on the Sweet Sixteen bid. Always felt like he was passing through URI on the way to high level success. No hard feelings about him leaving URI as much as I wanted him to stay.

STC

If you asked me a month ago, I’d say zero percent chance Cooley leaves. Now I’m at least 51% that he leaves.

STC

I know he’s been doing it all year but Shaka rocking the compression shirt under the Marquette polo is certainly a look.
