Saddi Washington would make a lot of sense

Hopefully all of his players follow suit. Most, if not, all of the players will be gone. FAU has no NIL and better, more prestigious schools will grab them out of the portal. The coach will also be gone in a heartbeat. There’s no way that FAU can match a much better offer. As far as the coach is co...

We haven't had a reliable wing/SF type in a while. I always thought Tyrese Martin and Jacob Toppin had that potential but we didn't have them here long enough. Even during our glory years with Hurley we had undersized bigs (That played BIG) like Hassan or lanky 4/5s that played more of a stretch rol...

Yep....Former staff member Jerrell Coleman is starting up a Rhody TBT team...gonna be awesome. I assume Hass, Jared, Jarvis, EC and others. Delroy still playing.

They’re a 4 seed. Slightly different.

This is an important 1-2 years for PC. Also for URI, obviously, but I think PC is trying to avoid what happened to us during the David Cox years. Kim English is an unknown. He, historically, has recruited well and can relate to players. He needs to get immediate buy-in from Devin Carter and Bryce Ho...

Section104

English has potential and will recruit well, but he’s coaching against:
Hurley
Miller
Rick Pitino
Cooley
McDermott (unless he goes to ND)
Holloway
Shaka Smart
Thad Matta

I’d say he has a slight edge on Stubblefield and close to Kyle Neptune.

This is a tough job to learn on the fly.

I would guess Tony Skinn will be the odds-on favorite to be the next HC of GM.

Hopefully Kevin Willard doesnt come after Woodward if he loses Skinn.

Getting Providence into the NCAA tournament regularly is impressive. That said, his best win in the NCAA tournament was against #8 seed USC, no? His two wins last year came against double digit seeds. That's deserving of 6M+ per year?

In the A10, yes completely agree. Post said “everyone.” Are we sure you can even build a "one year wonder" roster in the A10? That’s kinda what Duquesne did (10 new players - top 6 scorers are transfers in their 4th or 5th year). So hypothetically they could all leave this year and Dambro...

He’s too busy following Bryant, probably hasn’t even heard the news yet. Do you blame him? We are quite frankly one of the worst teams in America.

Section104

Yeah I would swap Tchikou and Bilau. I saw enough from Josaphat to know he can for sure be an impact player when healthy. That's fair. You just never know with injuries. My take on Tchikou is you can't teach a 7 foot wingspan and mobility. He's technically in year 1 of college ball. I like him as a...

What was your (and others) biggest shock transfer?

I’d go with Tyrese slightly over Toppin.
I’d go with Toppin not because he transferred, but because of where he transferred to.
Get used to it. I bet Ish gets offered $100k+ to transfer to a p5

Maryland, and Cox, will call.

Section104

Can we get more St John’s guards?

Dowtin and Leggett have done okay for us!

Section104

I normally root for all A10 programs. It's good for the league and its good for URI. That said, some of these programs and their fans need a reality check after their unrealistic expectations in the offseason. I've said it in the past and I believe it now more than ever: Anthony Grant is not a great...

Section104

It's somewhat refreshing having a throw away OOC with only room for improvement...

Results, other than for morale reasons, don't matter right now. Grow each game - define roles - welcome new additions (Bilau) and gain some confidence before becoming a spoiler in the conference slate.

Section104

A10 is a guard oriented league that operates with razor thin margins in the OOC. The below three players could play just about anywhere in the country and are integral parts to our top tier teams. Malachi Smith Ace Baldwin Yuri Collins It seems like every year high hopes are dashed by way of injurie...

Brayon is our top player the next 3 years. I wouldn't say there's "no point", but I get what you mean.

Section104

oh, one more thing. I think having to learn about Kevin Brown Jr the day of URI vs Stony Brook the day of the game, hours before the game begins, is annoying as all get out, sure, but at the same time I realize there are certain advantages keeping these things to yourself gives the program, so in t...

Section104

I think there can be multiple lineups. "Going big" and "going small/fast". Lots of flexibiltiy with this roster. I'll be curious to see if we have a true "rotation" or if we have starters and bench guys. Like Dan, Archie likes to play fast. There's a lot of guys where ...

Section104

The unbalanced schedule hurts when it comes to developing an NCAA resume, but it helps if we're trying to finish in the top 4.

I love our ability to get a double bye with this schedule.

Section104

Love the revamped roster. Still say slightly above .500 next season would be a really good year. And the following year we are legit top 1/3rd contenders. My projected starting lineup now: Bray Ant Weston Malik Whoever Let's go. I'm all for this lineup, but I'm adding Foumena as the starting 5. Arc...

Section104

Our guard play was atrocious last year… We now have 3 former top 100 guards (Weston, Harris, Carey), an A-10 all freshmen guard (Bray), and very serviceable existing pieces (Ish, Thomas). Add Malik as a combo G/F and I really like the depth in a guard oriented league. We don’t need our bigs to score...

Section104

Too early for serious predictions but never too early for some fun. Based on what we have now I predict, Freeman, Carey, Leggett, Malik and Samb. Slight nod to the experienced guys for the opening night but could change by game 3 or 4 with Weston or Hutchinson sliding in over Carey. I don't think W...

It’s still just a guess at this point, but it follows a very similar trend to the last two signings.

Under the radar stretch 4 from Canada makes a lot of sense right now.

FYI he's entered the transfer portal from Virginia Tech.

Archie followed him on twitter at the same time he followed Femi Odukale, Bray, Thomas Haugh, Rahsool Diggins, and Trey Autry.

I'd imagine we're pursuing as one of our F/C transfers.
