I just wanted to follow up on this. I received an email from Maureen McCarthy, Athletic Director of ticketing. For those of you who don't know her, she has been here since the Ryan Center opened and has always been a wonderful resource and person to deal with. Especially back in the days with young ...

Slide into mediocrity? We have the highest rated front court (assuming transfer rule passes) ever at URI. JH, Walker and the twins is a huge advantage over almost any team in the A10 and should give us the guys to compete with Dayton and St Louis. JH was the only guy in that Dayton game who looked ...

All Hail the King, DC Rams. He hath decreed that anyone who cast a negative stone at his beloved David Cox shall be blocked from hereon.

Rhodyhooopz

Ok I just need to get this out there. I have been a URI fan since I was a kid, the late 70's. All my friends rooted for PC. To say that we have been on a roller coaster of journeys over the years would be an understatement. The highs 77-79 Jack Kraft had these program rolling and then came Claude En...

It’s seem like we are recruiting guys that all believe that they are better than what they are, or are good, and want more. Kids are sitting home right now fielding nothing but calls from their inner circles telling them what’s out there and what could be. We are about to do the same again and hope...

Rhodyhooopz

Wow that is crazy. If he does turn out to be good it won't be for us and Cox kind of forced him onto the court at times this year at expense of other players. Of course trying to develop him and keep him happy. Ouch! What a waste of time. I hope he turns out to be great like Obi for college basketb...

8 man rotation

Fatts - 95% gone
Dowtin - graduate
Martin - Transfer
Harris - transfer ???
Langevine - graduate
Toppin - Transfer
Long - Transfer
Walker - Staying

Nothing left. 2 whole recruiting classes gone. Programs don't do well without stability.

Rhodyhooopz

This one hurts a shit ton. I don’t think there is anything the coach/staff could’ve done. They loved the kid. Word is, the Toppin brand is surging and he is trying to ride the wave. that take is so wrong. Cox just lost his whole class from last year. and his #2 returning player. Something stinks ba...

Rhodyhooopz

This could end up being the best signing of this year. I like what i see on tape of this kid alot.

Rhodyhooopz

Preach Blue man! That's what I have been asking. What went wrong. There is obviously wrong with a program when one of your top 2 players returning leaves. He didn't like the school? Didnt like the Coaches? Didn't like standing in the corner for most of the game watching Fatts and know there was more...

Rhodyhooopz

This is not a "heavyweight" coach that a top 50 team should have. Cox can't do it all. By the way ,Justin Gainey who left Arizona assistant coach position for Marquette was reportedly getting paid $290K. This horse has been beaten way past dead. I feel your and probably most of the fan ba...

Rhodyhooopz

Another 1-8 for Fatts

Rhodyhooopz

DC no worries about being wrong. I think the big question here is if the coaching staff pulled the offer last week when and why did they give it back to him? Some real weird shit going on with this staff.

Rhodyhooopz

DC then that's scary. So now Cox is held hostage for recruiting big men unless mama Mitchell says so? Because that is what your post is implying.

that's not a good take. where are they running too? No one else wants both together. boy these next few years with them are going to be fun.

Rhodyhooopz

I know the transfers are making the roster unpredictable, but it is pretty likely Fatts comes back as declaring as a junior is par for the course. A Fatts senior year will be something very fun to pull for. Throw in the players that we do have and the team is pretty good. We basically are waiting o...

Rhodyhooopz

Good for Tyrese, I hope he enjoys going from a starting position and playing 30+ minutes a game to coming off the bench for 10 minutes at UCONN, especially at his position. There is no doubting he has ability and maybe Dan will be able to bring it out of him on a consistent basis, but it really mak...

Rhodyhooopz

Social Media has changed the recruiting world a ton. Players, Coaches and Fans are all adjusting to it to various degrees of success and failure. This is all fine, but can everybody please get past the ranking number when it is someone that doesn’t sign with URI or transfers out. As soon as someone...

Rhodyhooopz

Please do not do this to us again. That day was like riding the superman roller coaster at six flags without being harnessed in. UGH!!!!!!

Rhodyhooopz

Let's crucify the 17 yo kid who can't make up his mind. WOW you people need help.

Rhodyhooopz

Yeah the twins would be eligible at the latest December after the 1st semester like Antwan Walker. This is assuming the transfer rule was not approved this June or a Waiver is not granted for immediate eligibility. I am not sure. They didn't enroll for the spring semester. so the earliest they can ...

Rhodyhooopz

20 game A10 conference schedule will kill any chance of at large bids. the AVG NET ranking of the A10 this year was 120 including 3 teams that had rankings above 200.

Rhodyhooopz

Agreed. Need a Grad transfer.

DC chill out.

Rhodyhooopz

Need a juco or a transfer who isn’t a freshman to balance this class out. Can’t take 5 or 6 frrshman

Rhodyhooopz

Why do we always get the late game

Rhodyhooopz

We need to get/hire a big man coach to work with Harris and all our bigs next year. It's critical for their development and our success. Then going forward if the bigs we recruit see we actually invest in some thing to help them develop and succeed they might even come here. If it that means one of...

I said I needed a break from the negativity today and this is helping. Welcome aboard Abou!!!

Insurance policy? We are on the table in the ER bleeding out. The insurance check is already being cut.

Rhodyhooopz

It was fun to watch what this team was capable of. Too bad during the game all you heard was this guy was transferring and this guy is transferring.

Rhodyhooopz

Just put Frank Keaney up there and be done with it.

Rhodyhooopz

and really do any of us actually care who's bid we stole? Let's move on. We have a team in chaos and this was 21 years ago.

Rhodyhooopz

This thread is going to grow quickly next year as we are adding 6 players at least to this.

Rhodyhooopz

I guess we can leave banner as is or add Long to it. It will show who is leaving.

Rhodyhooopz

yep. thats what i just heard.

Rhodyhooopz

Not to derail this thread entirely - but as scummy as Pitino may have been - of the GOOD coaches in college basketball, 99% of them are doing something to gain an edge - whether it be immoral, unethical, illegal - or all 3. NO ONE CARES. Everyone conveniently forgets. You've got guys on tape talkin...

Rhodyhooopz

do our transferring players get to play

Rhodyhooopz

Speaking of Sutton, what is his role? All i see is him standing near the player's entrance before games just talking to people

Rhodyhooopz

Still no confirmation or denial on this?

Rhodyhooopz

OK. I don't disagree about Pitino then but we have followed the model of hiring the Assistant 4x since the 70's. it worked once, Skinner. How about trying something else next time.

Rhodyhooopz

Maybe quite a few wanted Pitino, but the one guy that mattered is Dooley. And he wanted no part of it. We never had a chance. Good. A lot of the fan base did not want Pitino. He is scum. On one of the last couple of Pick & Pop podcasts, Bill Koch talked about Pitino. He recalled 2 years ago he ...

Rhodyhooopz

we need to prove or disprove the Harris thing ASAP.

Rhodyhooopz

OK hold on that is dated 3/4/20. That is 3 weeks old.

Rhodyhooopz

if the Harris thing is true you may have to pay people to get tickets.

Rhodyhooopz

i dont have IG. But i am about to lose my shit. This might end up being even a worse hire than Jerry Duh

Rhodyhooopz

can someone post his IG

Rhodyhooopz

is this a joke?
