Maybe we will get another arrival commitment today or tomorrow, so that this will hopefully become Ben who?

section(105)

My guess is the Hammond departure and whoever the arrivals are will have little impact, either way in the response values here. Or the response rate, small sample size.

D1 college basketball has zero to do with college. I guess it’s marketing-not really sure what it is. What I do know is the message sent to young “student” athletes is twisted. Get all you can for yourself and honor no commitments. What a fantastic education. I’ll keep buying season tix because it’...

When posting about Ben early on, I used “if” he comes here……he was iffy at best.

Season ‘24-‘25……..if we suckish again it will be because the participation in the Collective was not enough, if we are decent it will be because Archie is great Coach? Just asking for a friend.

Hope this does not send someone in the fold to the portal.

Let’s translate this to additional Rhody Excellence $$$?

I've decided, after much consideration, I'm entering the Fan Portal. Any College team can reach out to me and provide NIL offers. Free tickets, free beer and concessions would put them at the top of my fan list. Willing to make official visits as well. Please have a lot of swag available for me. (c...

I'm with you on that.

Rhody Rehab gearing up for a surge, 24x7.

If Hammond is still coming, I don’t think we would land both Coit and Lawerence. Lawrence is more of the player we lacked last year. Coit is another dude who can get you 25 any night but takes a lot of shots, and if he’s cold, he doesn’t affect the game. Lawrence is solid on both ends. He has playe...

Good thing The Masters is holding my interest today (it looks like an exciting finish is possible) otherwise, the lack of Rhody portal commitments, news, rumors and buzz would be getting me really frustrated. Some rumors about a new assistant, too. A string of good news around the program would be ...

Going to B&W today. Going to check out season ticket seats. First timers. Why? For me another way cheering for the laundry, football style. And of course being on campus in the Springtime, and looking forward to fall on campus. And I like the throwing the ball around the lot. Go Rhody

I think the questions that focus on the operations of the Collective would be the ones that have the best chance of being answered. And maybe the questions would be pre submitted to Thor4 and Stone before any Zoom would happen or a podcast that could be posted here. The goal, I think, is for transp...

I thought NIL was to allow the players to make money off their name, image and likeness…how did that turn into the fans paying the players? I thought they were supposed to be able to get paid for gear sales with their names, or if a company wants to hire them as a spokesperson or for a personal app...

section(105)

Who makes the decisions on amount each player gets? Couldn't Rhody15 answer this? He states that the school can not be a part of NIL. So I would think no University employee can control where the money goes. LOL...then who the eff does? And if the school, or the coach, isn't deciding who gets paid ...

I would say yes. Maybe sprinkle in some most basic low post drop step, get fouled, make free throws ?

The NIL could effect fans at some point (that aren’t effected now). I mean I gave a little, but how long can we expect the same people to foot the bill? Forever? I think in the short term answer is forever? However, forever might not be that long, until the current system that has evolved will coll...

Yes. Perhaps time is here for the “haves” to break off, find their own level of paid player basketball , super conference competition. And let the “have nots” organize themselves into a less then super conferences. I guess this oversimplified view with current media contracts and all the other stuff...

Thank you for taking this initiative. Hopefully will increase your knowledge.

Yeah, maybe to be player to run the scout teams schemes against the higher priced players?

Somewhere this NIL thing went off the rails. I don’t know what to think anymore. The players wanting and getting their piece of the pie has turned into a God awful mess.

Per Matt Norlander, Dan and staff are getting a big, well deserved raise from UConn. Good for Dan! I wonder if it includes a stipend for 105’s Rhody Rehab so Dan can work on his sideline rage issues ? Rhody Rehab is better than anything UConn can offer in-house. He would get a “discount” for servic...

Maybe it will give A-10 teams an opportunity to schedule ascending and the better teams in lesser conferences, and beat them down by lots and lots of points to help the offense stats?

I haven’t really watched much of Coit but what little I have watched and read, he’s a very talented offensive player - which is great - but he looks quick, too.

Regarding Rhody Rehab and Dan Hurley, I think Andrea might offer some in-house guidance, she is a healer, fixer. Dan sometimes referenced this during his time here. Is sideline act, real simple, if he is not your coach, betting against him etc, you dislike him, if he is your coach you love him.

section(105)

Would love to see that style of play, the quickness etc, harassing full court defense etc. Do we “do that here……”??
