A Dayton Fan with a negative opinion on Xavier Not sure how you feel about Xavier but if it was PC involved I would positively be saying Pee Cee had no business being selected. Let’s just agree to disagree I feel like I have been very objective, I am not being negative. Come on, look at what you ar...

OK so we have offered this kid, that we know. All these other transfer kids are signing all over the place. Does he not want to come here? Or does he have to sit in front of our coach and get his face time? The offer is there.

Rhodyhooopz

Well a couple guys here [and we know who they are] are confident that Cox will land some good talent in the next 2-3 weeks. They need to be right. Cox's future depends on it. And our sanity. To add, if someone needs to visit in order to commit here, it could be a LONG wait. Just adds to the frustra...

Different perception then. Atlantic 10 had 5 different teams ranked at one point or another that year. Xavier, Temple, GW, URI and Umass were all in the top 25 at various points during the year.

So Fatts is going to test NBA waters. What if he gets a pro contract overseas? That leaves us with this 5 months before the start of school: G: Sheppard G: Leggett? G/F: Toppin F: Harris F: Walker Bench: Wood *checks limit on NCAA roster* *double-checks URI roster* *puts plastic bag on head* You fo...

DC then Cox wont be getting any players until at least June because there wont be any face time until at least then.

Believe me I wish we weren't having these conversations but we are because obviously something isnt right in Kingston.

This COVID thing has fucked everything up. No face to face communication, visits, or anything really hurts. Really? So it has stopped all these players from committing to other schools. Even Iona, who hired Pitino two weeks ago has 2 commitments. Stop being like the Ryan Center and blaming everythi...

my five would be

Sly
Silk
Tyson
Kenny Green
Pappy or Jiggy

dont need updated wifi in an empty building

I agree with you just throwing it out there as it has come up before.

Rhodyhooopz

I think to make it simple and easier we look at the record books and use that for nominations. i think we know that there are 3 locks

Silk
Tyson
Sly

the rest become more subjective. this also becomes a question when discussing all time - do they have to graduate from URI to be included?

Rhodyhooopz

Go get Alan Griffin and you have an upgrade over Martin. Friends with Toppin. Likely bound for Duke, but maybe Jacob can throw a lifeline out and communicate the immediate impact he'd have on the program. I didn't think it was a fit yesterday since he's a similar player to Martin, but now... In my ...

Can we just put up silhouettes on the banner. No need to keep actual players pictures up there.

Rhodyhooopz

These things are going to happen, DC. It happened to LaSalle just a few days ago, no? I hope that is the last of it, however. So now we are LaSalle? Wow have we really started the fall back to mediocrity. We're Atlantic 10 When I think A10, LaSalle doesn't even cross my mind. Since they joined the ...

Cox quotes from the article: “What I’m dealing with now is young men and families and camps who have huge aspirations but do not or refuse to deal with the actual process,” Cox said. “That word now – process or progression, those types of terms – has started to work against you in regards to recrui...

Rhodyhooopz

Wondering if they are just trying to get away from the Fatts show. if that is the issue Cox created this problem by moving Jeff and letting Fatts run wild.

Rhodyhooopz

ok DC please explain how we dont have a problem down in Kingston? HUGE HUGE issues going on .

Rhodyhooopz

Sounds like they already have their excuse in place for not getting the WIFI done. COVID-19.

Lamar was special. Too bad he could never seem to get rid of the demons in his head. Always trying to prove he belonged. I remember being at the hotel after the game and the big party and Jerry D and Harrick Jr kept yelling to each other, "Hey Digger are we in yet?' becasue Digger Phelps was sa...

Rhodyhooopz

That dam Arthur Lee and Madsen killed us in that last minute Sad and happy I didnt experience that elite 8 run. A reminder that this program can get to the top of the mountain. To get to the top of that mountain you need some balls. It took huge balls bringing in Harrick. And i am glad they did. Wo...

Read the notes on him. Definitely not a Baron Era player.

We are not mentioned with any of these Including Gage. WTF!!!!! there is a 7'3" guy on here why wouldn't we try?

Welcome to URI basketball since the 1980’s.

Rhodyhooopz

i still have the vhs tapes i lent ATP and i think i have the dvd somewhere. I wouldnt even begin to know how to get them onto youtube.

Rhodyhooopz

Not putting words in your mouth but transfer kids are committing all over the place this weekend. Not one of these kids in the portal has URI as their choice? That’s a concern for me. You can’t tell me there aren’t kids the staff doesn’t want

Rhodyhooopz

So DC none of these kids transferring want to come to URI according to your previous statement

Rhodyhooopz

Did he not commit anywhere?

Rhodyhooopz

.......so then maybe we are doomed.......irrelevant until a lightning in a bottle group of players and coach comes along.......yessch, hate the thought that is our place...... It took an elite 8, a URI grad governor, who loved baksetball, and a big time donor to get the Ryan Center. Minor improveme...

Rhodyhooopz

Someone other than Tom Ryan, that has his kind of money, makes the same financial commitment he has made.

Rhodyhooopz

Not saying he wont help but if anyone thinks he replaces what Jeff gave you the poor kid doesn't stand a chance.

Rhodyhooopz

just a question. Since when did Shepard become Michael Jordan? did i miss something? throw out the JUCO stats as no one plays defense in JUCO ball. His stats at ECU were not great 36.5% FG 33.8% 3P 65.6% FT And if i am not mistaken not many schools were knocking down the door to get him coming out o...

Rhodyhooopz

Unless he pushes for an extension. Coaches cant recruit without certainty of a contract as other schools will use it against him

Rhodyhooopz

There is no question that Cox has done some good things and should be given more of a chance. These 4 open spots are very important as we don’t have even a top 5 A-10 team at this point. Can that change? Yes, but these next 4 spots including big men and shooters are a must. The one thing I do know ...

The most frustrating part of this is that there were at least a few of us, maybe more, that called this the day Hurley left. It was so predictable that we'd fall right back into our old habits of half assing everything. To watch it happen sucks. I am glad that Koch at last finally put it out there ...

Rhodyhooopz

Lost potential this season but it is fair to give this team a chance next year. Lots of potential returning as of now. Fatts is an all american candidate and the other guys aren't too shabby. If we could add some guys that can contribute right away we will be good. The Mitchell twins playing next y...

Rhodyhooopz

105, hard to do with the current revolving door concerning the roster. That's why I'm extremely wary of signing the Mitchell twins. Sign both, you get one useful player and one bench warmer. A waste of a scholly? And another chance of transferring. Just what we need. NOT. If the one is going to be ...

Rhodyhooopz

Look at the history of the URI program. Bad coach gets fired, find a name replacement who does great, gets to NCAA tourney, Coach leaves for greener pastures because admin can’t commit to what the coach wants. Hire his assistant. Slowly slide back to mediocrity as admin puts all money away and upgra...

DC I agree the team did well with limited players. And I agree that kids today have a now mentality but is it unreasonable to ask if there may be something else at play here? Over 10 transfers in 2 years is a lot. I am not saying Cox should be fired or anything like that but couldn't there be somet...

would really like to get DC opinion on this.

Rhodyhooopz

88 was special because back then the Big East was the best basketball conference in the country and we bitch slapped them all over the court.

both games should be considered 1 and 1A.

Rhodyhooopz

Ok so with over 8 transfers no one thinks there is any problems with the program? There has to be something going on besides just the me now?

Not saying there are major issues with program but maybe some underlying things that today’s youth don’t buy into?

Rhodyhooopz

What is going on? Is there more to this than what we are seeing? Or is this just the new normal in college basketball? Today’s me now generation or do we have a major program problem?

How many transfers the last two years?

Rhodyhooopz

Definitely top 2.

The win in 88 against Syracuse being the other
