I agree tossing out those 3 schools grabbing Siena and going to 12 schools would be ideal. However, I imagine it's more likely other scenarios happen. I don't see the Dukes leaving but I think Fordham and La Salle are real possibilities that i'd rate at better than even odds if the A-10 really gave ...

EGram

It's amazing how highly you guys rate Highschoolers as freshmen in the A10. Maybe Juiston would be better but there's a 98% chance this guy is better than any HS player we could bring in for next year. If Ln wants to come to URI I think Dan would be very unlikely to turn him down. He is an Iverson r...

EGram

People on the La Salle board seem to really think the admin is thinking of leaving the A-10 for the MAAC. Apparently the La Salle AD mentioned the possibility in a radio interview and the university president even came on the forum and told everyone to stop talking about it in public. Imagine the UR...

IF you like XCom, the sequel kind of quietly came out for PS4 in the past year. I think it's around $20 now. It's a bit maligned, but I like No Man's Sky - it's low stakes, low pressure exploring for the most part. Some of the patches have made it a much better game, and also, you can find it for $...

EGram

I thought it's funny his HS coach said upon his committing to URI "Has never been well coached"

Way to believe in yourself.

EGram

He's not to tall but for a 254lb man he looks more like a really big muscular dude as opposed to a flabby guy.

Here's a good Longwood highlight vid. Virtually every longwood highlight is Lane for much of the vid.

EGram

Sounds like the type of guy we could really use. Might actually be an improvement over Iverson as he is a much better three point shooter..

EGram

Thanks Rhowdy, RDR is actually something I had been planning to play for a while and I just learned is on PSNOW so i'll def try that out soon. Not a massive fan of open world games but I really liked the Western setting. Just got back from my Surgeon the other day and he said he was amazed I was wal...

EGram

Yeah anyone having VCU above us is a joke. They were an NIT quality team last year that was lucky to make the tourney and is facing far bigger losses than URI. Look at our losses compared to teams like VCU and Dayton and it's no comparison. I don't see our losses as massive imo. Cyril playing more m...

I had a freak accident 9 months ago and nearly lost my right leg + suffered a concussion. Recovery has gone well but it seems I'm going to be sitting around on my ps4/ and PC most of this summer so I'm looking for new games. I like most genres, currently finishing the Witcher 3 and XCOM. I've gone t...

EGram

Offered or not Offered. Doesn't really matter either way!

It likely helps us that Hurley gets press for being considered for these jobs at least. Informs potential recruits and BB fans that URI is rising program!

EGram

Again, the ONLY way Dan would have any interest is if he can't get what he wants at URI....... I don't know why you would assume this. No published reports Dan has talked to Georgetown whatsoever. This is a published report. . Sounds to me like he is saying published reports have previously said Da...

EGram

The writer looks like he just did a lousy job sourcing. Sadly this is pretty normal nowadays and sports journalism is probably a few cuts above political/social journalism for instance.

No published reports Dan has talked to Georgetown whatsoever.

EGram

So the School can ask for 64m in bonds for a refurbished arts center but 20% that amount is too much to enhance your schools marquee athletics program facilities? Not to be a dick but the MBB program is essential for the schools future OTOH I used to hang out with the art school types when I was in ...

EGram

It's more than a bit of a stretch . It's absurd to use it as evidence that something is up imo. If you wanna say it doesn't totally remove the possibility that Hurley has not talked with the Gtown search firm that's fine. But its much more likely the meaning was plain Hurley did not mean for people ...

EGram

Would it be accurate to say Daron is the best (most hyped might be a better word) recruit Dan has landed since Terrel?

Sure seems that way to me.

EGram

New coach isn't going to just magically make freshmen play like seasoned vets. Returning Dayton players scored 2 points vs witchita state they are gonna be in for a down year one way or another.

EGram

One guy I hope we strongly consider if we lose Hurley is Tim Cluess of Iona. Can't believe UMASS has not looked at him. Guy has won 20 games and been to the post season in all 7 years he has been with Iona including 6 straight NCAA or NIT years. Sure he's old at 58 but it's a pretty damn impressive...

EGram

You've gotta work with the resources you have. I would rather the coach figures out an unorthodox way to win rather than be traditional and mediocre.

Pretty sure if he was getting a10 level players his teams would play better defense.

It sounds like that dick Weiss guy is replying to some guy named bob.

If it's meant to say "Georgetown is looking at Bobby Hurley and possibly Dan Hurley" he could have said it better.

I checked with my father who is a pretty big decent sized donor and neither of us got anything.

If they sent this out maybe it was only to donors over a certain evel near NYC and Boston?

The way media members treat random twitter posts as newsworthy drives me nuts. People have been posting every view imaginable to the internet for decades but it suddenly became newsworthy now that twitter created a crappier way of doing it. That Maryland basketball blogger likely has less info then ...

EGram

I genuinely feel bad for the Dukes. Their coaching search has turned into a punch line it seems.

Apparently they just hired the Akron guy

EGram

The reason I mention Siena with Syracuse and Dayton is because like those two schools they are the only game in town in a moderately sized city and get outsized support as a result. They likely won't ever have the success of a team like Cuse but I don't see why they couldn't be a Dayton like program...

EGram

Can we not pretend like URI sucking for a couple of years is the equivalent to Fordham? We're talking about a school that was averaging less than 800 fans at home games earlier this year. A School that went over a decade without winning an A10 tournament game. The A10 is a basketball conference. let...

EGram

I would love to ask the a10 commissioner guy why Fordham is in the a10 and Iona is out because I literally cannot think of how they are a better fit in anyway.

EGram

I don't understand why we don't ditch Fordham and take Iona. All These MVC schools are junk options compared to them or Siena. Id even take Fairfield before a MVC school. Iona performs better the most a-10 bottom feeders despite playing in a crap league. IF you let them in the a10 they could get dec...

EGram

Does this take him out of the running for the Gtown job?

Would be odd to do this if he knew he was interested in another job

EGram

Damn, I've got a really good chance to win my pool this year and get a couple grand from that. Oregon winning would not kill me but make it more difficult. I've picked every game correct in that regional so far (sorry but there was little upside to picking URI over Oregon) so hopefully Kansas will c...

EGram

I'd be interested in seeing a list of a-10 players/recruits lost this offseason.

I know Dukes lost a few already.

EGram

Well that's good to hear about Ewing . Woj is the most connected man in basketball so he likely knows whats up.

EGram

I don't think AL to Gtown is likely. But if he ever was going to be considered for another major coaching gig this is perhaps his best chance given it's a North East school, Selective, possibly preferring a black coach. It does make you wonder what AL ever did to get blacklisted from the Coaching Fr...

EGram

I doubt Gtown would refuse to hire a coach simply because of race. Yet, It would not surprise me if everything else is equal they preferred a black hire simply to avoid the inevitable SJW articles about firing black coaches and hiring white men, Why not our old friend Al Skinner? Can't believe he is...

EGram

Kelsey was an assistant coach for Xavier... he clearly is familiar with the campus and arena lol.

EGram

Hard to believe all those dominoes lined up without anyone noticing till now but who knows.

EGram

Does that mean Kelsey is not coming to UMASS?

EGram

FWIW the people in tune with Georgetown program are all focusing on Harvard guy and Ewing. Few of them even brig up hurleys name. Would not be surprised if they already have a guy in mind we should find out soon. I hope people on here can keep the hysteria in check until we get some real news on who...

EGram

Not much to say about a shooting specialist who can't even get close to 40% shooting.

EGram

Yeah I noticed a trend with freshman where they would get minutes early on go through struggles and improve the last third of the year. It happened with Stan also so maybe it has something to do with being new to the team and system. So far the guys who have done this have always gone on to be top p...

EGram

We shall see I suppose.

Not saying it's impossible but I doubt many of these recruits knew who Rhoades was until today. Wade was an former assistant also and all Shakas recruits abandoned him.

EGram

We won't know if the recruits will stay on or not for a while.

Every school is now gonna be using the fact VCU had two coaches leave in the dead of night twice in a two year period against them.

EGram

I too think E.C will likely improve as many guys take 2 years to fully recover from ACL surgery. However I think Hurley has got to be ready to utilize whoever steps up among the guards. Guessing playing with 3 guards is going to be the norm in 17 but we are still super crowded in the backcourt regar...

EGram

How do we feel about possibly giving minutes to Stan possibly by taking them from E.C and whoever the 2nd string PG is? Assuming Stan shows his offensive development is for real and E.C stagnates? Would Hurley be willing to make this move? In addition to being the best defender of the SG bunch Stan ...

EGram

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. Confirms my observations that Cyril and Stan were amazing in not too many minutes the last 10 games of the year. Cyril went from like a 40%ts to a 66% ts his last 10 games damn.. While being the best rebounder on the team at the same time. Kid could be ...

EGram

Thanks Blue Man.

Has a bunch of stuff I was looking for. Although I still wish I could find some metrics based on shot charting and a couple other little things.

EGram

I hope Rhoades is good but I worry this will really set VCU back. They already losing JeQuan Lewis who I rated as perhaps the best player in the conference last year and a bunch of other seniors such as Allie Cox. Not to mention this will likely screw up recruiting for the 2nd time in 3 years and su...

EGram

Anyone know any good sites aside from Kenpom? Unless I am missing some key sites it seems college baseball and hockey have superior advanced stats/analytics than mens hoops. I don't need something super advanced but being able to for instance look at stats showing Matthews % of shots taken at/near t...

EGram

I really need to a find a video game or something to take my mind off this game.

500+ games on PS NOW must be something decent to try but I can't think right now and don't wanna play a tense game like xcom or dark souls.
