Unless Keaney.Blue is intentionally trying to get us off the scent here, I'd trust his info.

Thanks, Miramfan. Very sad news for Preston.

Oy, something else then? I realize you won't spill what you know, but I assume it's not child/family related if you posted that.

Here's the official release when Trainer was hired at Rhody. Probably the most rosy perspective on his career at the time.

Difficult to balance the immediate needs of family vs long term needs. I wouldn't want to be in Jordan's position right now.

I see my new seat in 205 in that photo! Can't wait to sit in it!! 2 more days.

Is Trainer's contract excessive? I have no idea what he's signed for.

Murray just looked miserable all night long.
Make mine Ribeye, ATP.

That's funny, Rod. I originally typed Ribeye since that's my favorite, but I felt the Filet metaphor would apply to most readers.

Where do you enjoy your favorite Ribeye, Rod?

6,536 at Homecoming this year vs Delaware.

Good point on Murray. He's probably got a very high laugh-point trigger, given who he grew up with at home.

It's like trying to enjoy Applebee's steak after being served only the finest Filet all your life.

It will be great to see you guys and chat. Hopefully we can get some clarification on some "items of discussion". Rod, that means you can do your magic with Dan. No Preston tonight though, so may be more difficult.

New DLP video scorer's table display is in and installed at the Ryan Center! Here's more info on this type of court side display. It is essentially 10 side-by-side 50" diagonal 1080p DLP HDTVs with ruggedized screens. http://www.ancsports.com/anc-technologies/courtside-signage/dlp-digital-court...

From an Arizona exhibition game...This kid will be a handful!

I was on campus for that game 5 win over Oakland in 2003 in the divisional series. After the game finished, we went outside the rental house east of the emporium and we could hear the roar of the crowd of students down in the rotary thing behind Roger Williams dining hall. Needless to say, we all gr...

No, Coach Cowlick will just recruit over them. First in, first out!

JCRU, haven't they already won the pennant, as in American League title? I just hope the banner/flag they affix to 4 Yawkey Way next season is RED in color.

Hey Bone! I'll look for ya then.

More "guidance" for our young, inexperienced student section.

Gonzo, Thorr likely couldn't literally afford to can Baron any sooner. So setting that expectation (NCAAs) provides the groundwork to execute the dismissal at the end of the year.

It's the new reality.

I just want to watch a basketball game of any kind with this new group from my comfy seat in 205!

At about the 28th minute of this week's ESPN College Hoop Podcast with Andy Katz and Seth Greenburg, Andy confirms that you can discuss "secret" scrimmages AFTER the fact, but NOT before in any kind of promotional way. In fact, he discusses a scrimmage with Baylor's coach Scott Drew. http:...

Great discussion of implications of new rules in ESPN Andy Katz' College Basketball Podcast this week.
http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=9893499

Thanks, Ace and Bill! Glad to know Jonathan can attempt to ruin another program without affecting ours.

Rod, I'm not saying there's any rule that applies in all situations. But when I see you counting each one that goes elsewhere (#31) it makes me think that only a handful were ones that Dan really needed. How much of the recruiting process is just to keep up good relations with HS and AAU coaches so ...

I'm comfortable with that

Yep, on this site, or one that uses the script that enables these linked articles to get those auto-previews. (not many)

Oooooh. Thanks, Iggy. Luckily, almost nobody will see that subheadline (cash in) which is only shown when the article is embedded the way our message board handles it.

I mean this line.... Rhode Island's Dan Hurley and Dayton's Archie Miller are among the coaches who could cash in for higher-profile jobs after expected strong 2013-14 seasons. I apologize if I'm just completely missing this, but I didn't see that line in the article. As for the headline, that look...

Andy Katz' 3 Point Shot video discusses the VCU-WakeForest "Secret" scrimmage.

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:9896199

Billyboy, that's not what this article said about Hurley. It didn't even suggest that he was going to be shopping if he delivers on this 2nd turnaround/rebuild in 5yrs.

We can tend to look at all these as recruits that "got away". But we REALLY don't know how hard Dan and Co. were working to land them. The only disappointment this season has been Terrell, a player who Dan and Preston were working very hard to sign. Dan can be selective and won't bring in ...

Looks like Dan wasn't kidding when he said he can be selective.

I remember this guy: Pat Skerry, Towson: Skerry led the Tigers to the biggest one year turnaround in college basketball history last season and in so doing became a finalist for the vacancy at Minnesota. After only winning a single game in his first year at Towson, Skerry guided the Tigers to 18 vic...

Yes, Cox Online Streaming doesn't matter where you are.

Yeah, great series so far. So glad the Sox won that one last night even with a difficult pitching situation. Now back to normal with Lester who can hopefully put together another great performance. After game 3 the umpires were saying that the runner establishes his own baseline, and as long as he t...

Busting Brackets has listed Rhode Island as a Darkhorse in their 2013-14 Predictions.

I saw on someone's Twitter (Goodman maybe?) that there are reports from some of these scrimmages that they have been foul fests due to the new rules. Goodman has tweeted that a few times. Everyone's observed this. Luckily, Rhody has their secret scrimmage, public exhibition this Friday, and next Fr...

And I can agree with that, RJ. Therefore, I still think we cannot do a side-by-side comparison of pre-season conf rankings. I'd be fine with doing season-end comparisons or even Jan 1 comparisons. KenPom uses previous seasons' performance to guide his pre-season rankings, so Rhody is going to be und...

In my line-up, Hare starts, as long as his brief time away hasn't put him behind. It's likely that the minutes distribution between the big guys (minus Biruta) will be somewhat equal, but Hare starts. ace, by saying "brief time away" are you stating that he has already returned? I hope so...

2.5 games swing in the A10 is literally the difference most seasons from finishing 11th and 5th.

Steve, I would just go online and attempt it. I heard people were signing up over the weekend.

Really appreciate your evaluation, Keaney.Blue!!

Can you explain your "minor connection to basketball" comment?

twisted3829 wrote:they lost quite a few players plus their best player is out for the year with a torn ACL

THIS, Peeps. Have YOU done YOUR homework on Butler?

Craziness.

RJ, thanks for posting that explanation from KenPom. We can now all agree that his preseason ratings are more and more useless as transfers become more commonplace and coaching changes cause additional turnover. Therefore, your BigEast/A10 comparison is useless. No way Butler will be #53 and no way ...

Great. We're gonna have to make an effort to have KeaneyBlue members meet each other, assuming they want to be "known".
