KeaneyBlue - The URI Basketball Forum

Apple, Coca Cola, McDonald’s, Nike. All amongst the most valuable brands in the world. All run by pretty smart people. All utilize OOH in their mix. That’s not anecdotal. From Forbes… There’s a reason that billboards have stood the test of time - they are extremely effective at reaching large audie...

What I will say - re: ads and ad spending - I subscribe to Archie's theory: If we are winning, people will come. People will pack the Ryan Center for one of 2 reasons: we are winning, or we are playing a huge team. That's it. No amount of advertising or marketing will change that fact. URI doesn't ...

Like seriously, roadside billboards and airport advertising is literally the worst advertising you can do. You're talking about two areas where people are in a hurry and not paying attention to ads and assuming they're moving slow enough to notice ads they're being inconvenienced and are in a foul ...

So would you agree that “most people” with a service dog have no legitimate need for one? And if you agree, can you show me any support for that idea that goes beyond observational or anecdotal or “a hunch”? What about suicide crisis and prevention resources? Is there evidence that “most people” tha...

Are you sure “most people” that avail themselves of services and accommodations are abusing the rules? Is there any support for that idea beyond paranoid internalizations of (likely apocryphal) anecdotes? It seems obvious to me that most of these types of accommodations and services exist because so...

For this reason: (4) The committee reviewed the common circumstances submitted for such waiver requests and instructed the staff to continue reviewing such requests on a case-by-case basis. In addition, the committee noted immediate eligibility should be considered when the following circumstances ...

She’s like our own Rodman

Im against a kicker named Shank, sorry. Can’t get over that.

We’re on our way back

I feel like this is going to very an enjoyable team to watch. Like a team that can beat anyone on their schedule on any given night. ... That is because we don't have a clue how good or bad the players are. Most posters here who are touting how good the team will be are the same posters who raved a...

The staff is locked in on their recruiting, better days are ahead I agree with you there 02. That is why I am not going to panic this season if we finish out of the top half. My only serious concern is if we have another major roster overhaul for 24-25, but doubt that will happen. My expectation is...

Well I watched that whole game and... Rory looks like he understands basketball better and is physically better than he was a few months ago. Positives end there! Zero athleticism, can't dribble, won't drive to the hoop and didn't actually roll to the basket until late in the second half where he w...

What could she do? Jettison a few perpetual under performing programs and establish a minimum level of commitment. Maybe adjust revenue sharing to encourage and reward performance. Just a couple thoughts. If nothing like this is possible then change the charter or figure out a way to fold the A10 a...

Tammi seems to like the guy and wants any and all promotion he does for her program. If he’s doing promotion for her program, she should welcome that. He isn’t doing promotion for the men’s program, he’s shit stirring and making everyone involved with the program’s lives more difficult. Maybe you l...

I’d like to wait for confirmation on the contract details from someone I’ve heard of. Not familiar with the work of “MFL”. The usual suspects had the news of Lee’s signing but from what I’ve seen this dude is the only one reporting contract details.

Imagine having never seen Dumb and Dumber? Yeesh.

I don’t understand comparing Jaylen to Kyrie. Jaylen is a dude of substance, super smart, serious, articulate. Kyrie is a clown show, deeply unserious and foolish. Maybe you don’t share all of Jaylen’s worldviews but I think being unable to distinguish between him and Kyrie is telling on yourself. A...

I’m in the minority obviously but I’m hopeful that Brad and Wyc do not give in to the media and fan hysteria and break up the core of the team. This series has been an embarrassment but they had the best duo in the league before the series and they will have the best duo in the league after the seri...

Reports of the Celtics demise were greatly exaggerated.

Did your brother just emerge from a coma that started in December of 2021 because I remember this was a very popular and common thing for people to say around that time when they were seemingly struggling, but I haven’t heard anyone try to make that case since they have had the best record in the le...

I’m as disgusted with what I watched the other night as anyone, and overall I’m pretty annoyed at how consistently they make things difficult on themselves. That said, I think people are burying them a little prematurely. They haven’t been eliminated yet, they still have the best roster in the leagu...

They definitely should have swept this series, I have negative respect for Philly and consider this 100% a Celtics failing rather than anything Philly is doing. But, they pulled this same shit under Ime. In fact they did literally this exact same thing (play a terrible game 5 of the ECSF at home to ...

For more insurance in the frontcourt, Jay Pal may be worth a look (1- year loaner) He is 6'9" and in the Big South Championship game he scored 26 pts/ 10 rebs. We aren't guaranteed Green will get a waiver. Getting lots of interest including Rutgers, George Mason, Bonnies. https://twitter.com/V...

Updated 2016? Makes sense he would be that high. He was not that highly ranked when he committed.

Dan Hurley got very good players to commit when we sucked. He got EC Matthews before he even had coached one game here. Dan might be the best coach in the country. It was a slog for even him, but in retrospect we were very fortunate to have him here at that time - with someone less competent we cou...

Hard to know all the specifics but at least according to reports we showed strong interest in 3 kids that also had interest from other A10 schools. We lost all 3 recruiting battles. Lafayette kid to Fordham Pride to Bonnies Dalger to SLU No matter who you slice it that’s not great. None of them are...

Just read the words as they are written and not so deep into them. I’m just happy to see he is on the job and making STRONG offers, to higher profile recruits. Your comment on this recruits’ thread is unusual. Walker is not rated by most services. He is rated a 1 ⭐️ with ESPN. Bishop is #115 on Riv...

I say if you’re going to interrogate someone under the guise of an “interview” it would be good to at least know who you’re talking to.

Internet sleuthing fail. Reminder for everyone to touch grass today.

That’s worrying about it from his standpoint which is fine but not what the prompt was. If the prompt was “would you come back if you were Jalen Carey?” I might have a different answer.

Carey will not help immensely on the floor if the team ends up being any good, but I do think there is some value in continuity and when you have so much turnover. We have to fill the roster out somehow. I would be OK if he returned.

Fear factor of East playoff teams:

Milwaukee - 9/10
Miami - 6/10
Cleveland - 4/10
Knicks - 3/10
Philly - 3/10
Atlanta - 1/10
Brooklyn - 0/10

I just so happen to be in Myrtle Beach right now with my family for school break, and let me tell you this town is absolutely buzzing about Bray’s committing to CCU. (I played golf with a father and his two sons this morning, both the boys go to Coastal and we talked a lot about their baseball team ...

What?!

For the best

https://twitter.com/coachdc202/status/1648322085687644166 Not sure if Cox will get another opportunity to be the head guy anywhere, he’d probably have to take a pay cut if he wanted to try it in a small conference compared to what an associate head coach would make at a place like Maryland. But he’...

KenPom: man of the people

Oh no Dan Yorke is going to have a field day with this guy.

jcru….68 posts in this topic. Give it a rest you’re spamming the board at this point and making it unreadable. You do not have to reply to every single post in the thread. This isn’t the jcru show, it’s a player’s thread.

I don't know about anybody else, but now that this kid is a RAM and he chose to come to our school, I support him 100%. Honestly I’d be lying if I said I’m super familiar with him but what his profile is as a player I can see why the staff thinks he can fill a hole on our roster. If the expectation...

TP, this is the result of, my stating an unpopular opinion, and others, many others, not liking the opinion and trying to snuff it out. Which isn't going to happen. No matter how many people try to stomp on the opinion, if the opinion is valid, some people will agree with it. And if others do not, ...

jcru’s turn to have a wildly exaggerated take on a recruit they almost certainly don’t know enough about have such a strong opinion? This the new hot trend on this website apparently. Personally I hate it. jcru go touch grass, bud. Some of the weirdest posts in the history of this board over the la...

https://twitter.com/jonrothstein/status/1646519143439679504?s=46&t=RiOaTCLvtjhXX7DAYI1lEg I know a few people here said eventually a lot of teams would have a GM type role. Bloat among the coaching ranks is always something safe to bet on. Alabama football is up to 10 assistant coaches , for ex...

Not possible to be more out of the loop on UMass than I am. That’s by design.

Had no idea Kellogg was even on the staff there. Weird career arc.

RANKINGS Evan Miya Transfer Portal : #832 of #3068 (4/5/2023) What a world….. Better than what we have as some like to say Ooopphhh..... B283C8A5-1F4F-4EA6-BA61-4C7DCB11FBBE.png Sorry, my point was just that it’s crazy that there are 3,068 transfers, not that this guy is good or bad.

What a world…..

If we instituted a rule that we “can’t pay the next coach less than the last coach” it would make us unique(ly stupid) among college athletic departments. You identify and try to hire the best coach that you can get for the relevant program at the time, and you pay that person commensurate with thei...

Congrats Coach!

As a Boston/New England fan I’ve been lucky to have had a lot of my teams win championships. UConn is not my team. But I don’t know that I’ve ever been happier for an individual person to win something as I am tonight.
