Albert became MCC Coach Steve Schmidt's 18th All-American for the Bears' program. He scored 1,256 career points over his two-year Mott career and averaged 24.4 points per game, eighth best in the country, with 4.5 assists this season to lead MCC to a 25-6 overall record.

And I was killed on the board for saying this would happen ....

Iggy1979

So you have to ask yourself: why leak that info now? It's because he hates us, hasn't changed his underwear since the friars won the NBE tourny, and stabs little ram dolls with needles. I doubt very much that KMac went looking for this story. Why would he do that now? I think someone from URI calle...

Jimmy was a junior.
If I ever bump into Pat Skerry that would be the first question I ask him: what happened to that team!?! (I have my own theory.)

Iggy1979

Hurley has stuck with Hare for two reasons: he's a 6-10 athletic freak and APR considerations. A guy who plays above the rim like Hare changes your team offensively and defensively. At the very least his return gives the team the kind of depth it didn't have last year. I would love to have Gustys, t...

Was thinking the same thing

Iggy1979

While I agree this is very good news, I think it was leaked to coincide with tonight's event and shortly before Gustys picks UAB or Tulane.

Iggy1979

There was hope when Terrell and Cooke became available. When you take hope away from people it can get ugly.

Iggy1979

This whole belief that you have to win first to recruit -- the easiest time to recruit is when the program is down. If you look at the success URI has had, the best recruiting classes came in when the program was down, they played right away, and in a couple of years the team was good. Kids want pla...

Did you see Duke just took a transfer. Everyone is doing it. Has worked nice for Iowa St and they hope to take two more.

Iggy1979

There's nothing more frustrating than coming close and not getting the prize. Hurley and staff have done a great job getting URI involved in some very good players. Of Gustys, Owens, Cooke and Terrell the only other A-10 team to show up on any of the lists is Dayton (Cooke and Owens). If they don't ...

So Cooke committed to URI while visiting Iowa St?

Iggy1979

One of the three Ohio recruits that have decommitted. 6-6 SF. Prepped at both St. Benedict's and Notre Dame. 3 star in prep. 12 ppg 6 rebs at Monroe CC.
Carr has reached out.

What? Iowa St. has jumped into the lead, but URI is on Cooke's list, and SWC reported the staff is all in and the Hurley Sr. is close to the Cooke family.
I'm still hoping for a visit.

Iggy1979

Updating my previous attempt to handicap his recruitment: UAB 8th in Conference USA Home attendance: About 5,000 Playing time: Starting center and forward are seniors, but they've signed two PFs, one of them a 4 star. Tulane 7th in Conference USA Home attendance: About 1,500 in Devlin Fieldhouse, wh...

Iggy1979

Announcement coming soon. Not "this week" soon but soon.

Iggy1979

That's obvious about Boswell (although it would be 2 players not 1)

Iggy1979

Second is not a bad spot to be, unless that's where u finish

Conference

Which is why he was looking at so many ACC teams the first time around

Iggy1979

No. I was just surprised he was in Michigan

Iggy1979

What do we know about Boswell?

Iggy1979

I'm getting the same sense that BC is in the lead. And that's mostly Preston. URI's best chance is that Terrell isn't sold on Christian and realizes BC is a total rebuild.
Iowa St in lead for Cooke
URI in final two for Gustys
No one seems to have any idea on Owens

Iggy1979

I didn't know that Larry Farmer was an assistant at Western Michigan.

Iggy1979

What if Dan gets a coach with better Michigan connections than Preston?

Iggy1979

I'm editing this post because I had Bill Koch's alma mater wrong. He went to BU. My apologies.

Iggy1979

Agreed

Iggy1979

Iowa St wasn't interested either and now he's visiting

#NJhoops RT @ConnOregonian: Expect Hallice Cooke to narrow his list of schools down by the end of the week.
My hunch is no, but I hope to be very very wrong.

Why

Iggy1979

I'm not going to listen to anyone who says URI has no chance. How would they know that? If URI was out why would Gustys tell Zag they were still on his list?
Bullshit? Exactly. Get it done Luke!

Iggy1979

If Hurley can't get a visit, that would be disappointing.

Iggy1979

How do I know what?

Iggy1979

Thanks ace

Iggy1979

So he eliminated San Jose St. No surprise there. URI has time to make its case

Iggy1979

Just to be clear: I'm not saying that any of this is coming from Carr or Murray, but from people who talk to them and like them.

Iggy1979

Iowa St scares me.

Iggy1979

I'm hearing from a couple of decent sources, that we may not sign any of these four. Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants. Hope it's not true, but I wouldn't be surprised. Murphy told someone that Terrell isn't going to URI. It's interesting to me that the "sources" out there seemed to ha...

Iggy1979

I was kidding. sorry.

Iggy1979

God Shammgod.

Iggy1979

Kids change their minds during the process. Now that his visits are over the staff will stress all the reasons URI is a great fit. Hopefully Dan and Murray are persuasive . I still think its UAB or URI

Iggy1979

Phil Kydd saw cows on 138 on his way to campus and considered changing his mind

"No question! No question!"

I would add: great guy.
He did OK for himself

Iggy1979

So much for that grand conspiracy theory

Iggy1979

Disagree with Koch. It's possible URI finished second because of Murphy and its possible he picks BC because of Murphy

Iggy1979

Do you want to go to a team in year 1 of rebuilding or year 3?

Good luck to her

Ohio

Iggy1979

No BC, so he's not following Christian.

Iggy1979

Don't take him to Matunuck Oyster Bar this time!

Iggy1979

Anthony Stewart, the Ohio assistant who recruited him, is looking for a job. Well connected in that part of the country
