Come on now, although important as lead recruiter, and contacts in the industry etc, in our history “the worst loss”…….. Please name me 2-3 other coaches/players that have left that have had as much of a negative effect as KJ leaving would have. Especially in our state of the program. We are on the...

For those poo pooing the possible loss of Kenny Johnson, I think it's a big deal. He is known as one of the top recruiters in the country. The DMV is producing some of the best talent in the country. If we finally get the money to be able to get high end talent from that area, he's the one who will...

Recruiting the portal is significantly different then recruiting high schoolers when it comes to "stealth" mode. Probably the biggest thing is the expedited timeline. In previous recruiting cycles, players may have been in contact with a staff for 1 year + which gives them plenty of time ...

Really nice addition for the Joe's in the portal. He started 25 games at PG for Rutgers and led the team in assists, steals, and FT% (86.4%) Also good size at 6'3", 2 years of eligibility, and can make a huge impact dropping down to our level. Had 23 pts/ 8 rebs against Ohio State, 19 pts/ 6 a...

I’m seeing a bunch of people complain that Edey went to the line a lot.. His size, footwork, and ability to finish around the rim make him a force in the paint.

I believe a jumbotron from 2002 was too heavy for the Ryan Center roof- same goes for Gampel Pavilion.. However the newer ones are much lighter than the older hanging scoreboards being pushed 20 something years ago. I'm guessing the first monitor I had at work in one of my first real jobs in the 80...

just curious...will every single URI men's hoop team member get 'some' NIL?
Or, will there still be some Rhody players just playing for scholarship and nothing more?

Nailed it. Absolute perfection. UConn made $32.6M in basketball, and that's a drop in the bucket compared to what this revitalized run is getting them in terms of national exposure, enrollment, etc. They get it.

I don't think that's the Fordham thread people are referring to. The game in reference was played on Feb 5, 2017. This thread is from the game many years before that.

I posted this solution for the Ry months ago: The solution seems obvious. Re-do the roof so that it can be opened, closed, or set off to the side. When it's open, you would slide it over to cover the parking in front of the main lobby. Or, rotate it off to the football field side and you'd have some...

A comment about James Madison and their 35 point loss to Duke. This team played hard the entire way through. There were no easy baskets for Duke.

There are dozens of coaching changes each year vs thousands of kids abandoning schools. And tell the the last time you saw the same coach be a HC at three schools in 4 years? Being a college athlete is not a real career, it’s a temp job. Coaches are in this for 30+ years if they are lucky and need ...

PRT, if I was a college coach in an NCAAT game, I wouldn’t let my opponent go on a double digit point run (never mind 13) without calling a time out to settle things down or, make an adjustment or, make a substitution or, break my opponents momentum, etc. But that’s me.
