Rick Holt is from Portsmouth NH.

Hal Kopp

This looks like a good class on paper.

Hal Kopp

Yes,need to boost the #s.

Hal Kopp

I mean just played RI HS ball.
That is where I see the challenge.

Hal Kopp

Thanks for the follow up. I saw the tape on Steinmetz,thought he looked good. Ex-teammate of mine from 84-85 YC champs @ Rhody son played with McKeeman. Said he was best player he saw all year of any team. Understood that lower level of competition. Said played with a real chip on his shoulder. Coac...

Hal Kopp

I will put Mello and Jim Baron Jr. on the list.

Hal Kopp

RhodyFan3-which recruits played in lower level of competition in HS?
Notice,there is not one kid from RI HS football on this list.

Adam Parker, Taft, LB, 5-11, 220: Rhode Island
Here is another commit.
Bentsen needs some competition. Kid from Md. looks good,but a frosh..
Bob had a rough year in '12.

Hal Kopp

Rod,right on Dennis,but big difference b/w RI and NJ HS BB -then where did Earl Shannon and Stan Moody play ball?

Hal Kopp

I thought Dennis McGovern played with Hurley Sr. in NJ?
Where did Earl Shannon and Stan Moody play HS ball @?
Ernie Calverly was Pawtucket West and Don Kaull Rogers-correct?

Anyone remember him?
Who are some great born and bred Rhody HS to Ram players?
Not many?

Tom Garrick
Roland Fiore
Jeff Kent

Who am I overlooking?
Stenhouses?
Percy Davis?

Hal Kopp

Devin Ray backed out today,going to try and walk on @ Rutgers.

Coach: one who instructs or trains <an acting coach>; especially: one who instructs players in the fundamentals of a sport and directs team strategy <a football coach>. I'll give a pass to Frenchy,hope the rest of you are kidding when you say don't know who Coach Rizzi is. Think as in terms of Coach...

Hal Kopp

President Dooley. Pres. said school is studying UNH model closely as they are very successful in FB under trying circumstances. Said asst. coaches salaries can be increased by guarantee games. Says URI has very attractive slate in the works. Feels SADC will be big boost and the $2.2M needed for fiel...

Hal Kopp

Neil-yes,that is one thing Rhody can sell=chance to play right away.
But,I doubt most frosh can play right away (size/strength/skills).
I bet you see a lot of JUCO's and prep schoolers because of this.
Not an easy answer. Will be seeing the president and Coach Rizzi tonight,let you know what I glean.

Hal Kopp

Smarty-thanks.
Looking forward to it.

Here is another commit.

If you guys think football were cut the $$ would be reinvested wisely,you don't know RI or URI.
There was 5000 for HC and 6600 for FD attendance this year. Plenty of young people there. What was the combined attendance for all sports,all games except Mens BB?

Hal Kopp

Yes,I bet Delaware,Maine and UNH's are also.
Find a way to get some kids in,coach 'em up and stop the excuses!!

Hal Kopp

Rod-what is a pink hat?

Hal Kopp

Rod,has anyone submitted the names?

Hal Kopp

Some good ones here: URI announced its latest inductions into the school’s athletic Hall of Fame. They are Providence native Raymond Williams (football/ track), Hope track coach Thom Spann (track/football), Lynn Lanzel LeValley (track), Anthony Rose (football/baseball) and Andy Yosinoff (tennis Need...

Hal Kopp

Casey's was a comfortable spot. Football alum & boosters really liked it.
I hope the new set up is still welcoming. If it isn't,where is a place where large groups can be comfortable?

Hal Kopp

got it!
George Mason game has better coverage.

Hal Kopp

Hello,

Some Rhody games being played on OSN?
What does it stand for? Is it a direct tv channel? If yes,what #?

Please advise.

Thank You.

Hal Kopp

Well done.
I thought Farley might be a sleeper.
I saw Bentsen play against GSU and he throws a good looking,catchable ball.
Very inaccurate that day. On short passes,kills a lot of worms.

Hal Kopp

Reliable source told me interaction took place b/w Will and Nik. Not confirmed yet.
Coach did not like it.
I will track it down some more.

Hal Kopp

I was told-there was some interaction between Will Martell and Nik that caused the suspension?

Hal Kopp

Another player suspension!
This was topic at end of last year also.
Let's have some fun with this!
Who is next player suspended?

Hal Kopp

If you can win at Wagner and Stony Brook,you can win at Rhody.

Hal Kopp

What was the attendance for Ohio St. game?
Cannot find it anywhere?

Hal Kopp

If you can win at New Haven,Salve Regina and Brown in football,you can win at URI.

Heard the final figure was $225K.
Are there any empty rooms in the Ryan Center?

Hal Kopp

Fearon Wright played in NFL right before Ferrara finished.

Hal Kopp

Ferrara is end of line I believe.

Hal Kopp

Agree with 15 and Neil,there have been better WR's @ Rhody.
BJF puts up stats,but turnover prone.

Hal Kopp

I went to the game and it was horse bleep.
I feel bad for the alums who go every week.
The attendance was real good (6500). So,nice job marketing.
Adding hockey and lacrosse at FB's expense with crowds of 65 people does not excite me.
