Re: '20 NY SF - Sean Durugordon (Missouri > ???)

I'm not qualified to pick the brain of Archie Miller. At the same time, I think we can agree that recruiting is not an exact science, even with transfers, and we would have killed to collect a talent like this in years past. I was wondering, it would seem that Sean is big into self promotion. I did...

Re: '20 NY SF - Sean Durugordon (Missouri > ???)

Well, in fairness, this isn't the first time Iggy has made that exact comment. So, my question is, if Archie was waiting on Femi to make a decision, and clearly that decision was made, probably yesterday or earlier, whenever Femi and Archie stopped following each other on social media, does that op...

Re: Season Ticketholder Event Wed May 4th 5:30 PM

My comment comes from an interview shortly after he was hired. He eluded to leaving 1 or 2 scholarships open during the year if there aren’t any scholarship players redshirting. 11-12 available players is plenty. There aren’t many years recently where URI has had 13 scholarship players available.

It's going to be interesting to see how Archie's strategy plays out long term. In theory it's great to try and build a team through 4 year players that can develop at URI, but with the transferring as prevalent as it is now it could be another school benefitting from that development. To be clear I...

Re: Practice Facility

Two things that I think were part of Archie’s negotiations:
1) get full funding - either President or donor stepped up with the final $700,000 as part of Archie’s agreement.
2) firm open date of June 2023. Throrr has thrown many dates out there before- just ask Dan and Cox.

Maybe I am missing something, but it looks like the Mitchells aren't on top transfer list. That's odd. That is correct. Not related to the Twins but these ratings are suspect. Floyd Jr rated high (didn’t play). Diggins from UConn (7 points total this yr) who transferred to UMass was rated. Freeman ...

Archie said his plan is to build the program thru recruiting and development. He isn’t the guy to build a team up thru the transfer portal. He said adding a piece here or there thru the portal is probably a necessity during this time and he will do that. His actions so far at URI follow his recruit ...

You could hear about players entering the portal tomorrow or Tuesday who still met the May 1st 11:59 pm deadline. The deadline is the time the player has to notify their current school in writing.

Re: Understanding the NIL

The answer to the transfer question is no. If they written properly, the company could probably void the contract. The contracts have one year renewals so if a player transfers either side can just not renew.

Re: '20 NY SG - Femi Odukale (Pittsburgh ---> ??? )

URI will not have 13 scholarship players this year. My guess is 11 max. Archie said scholarship players not in the rotation just get frustrated - insinuating that they then transfer. He mentioned wanting to have an opening throughout the year in case a player becomes available (mid-year transfer).
