Ileri thinks he is going to get starter minutes at UVM? And they promised him them? We gotta be getting some impact big men then because we could use a guy like that. Agreed, not sure what made Ileri think he wouldn’t get starters minutes here considering he was 1 of only 2 bigs on the team. Unless...

Let's not dismiss the fact that in 2020 they were ranked #3 nationally and would have been a #1 seed, had post-season not been cancelled.

This is a classic grass is always greener convo One of the best mid major brands for sure but with that comes added expectations. Dayton hasn’t won an NCAA tourney game in 7 years. And I will agree that there have been some years in recent memory where UDs schedule was a hindrance to their NCAA asp...

This Diekman dude has to go....my gosh...the only thing that sucks worse than watching a pitcher where you know 2/3 of the pitches will be balls is...watching a pitcher where you know 2/3 of the pitches will be balls and probly 20% of the strikes will be gomers. I'm not sure which is more annoying.....

It appears the carousel has stalled at the signing end. Wait til the dam break happens... Then it'll be spinning so fast it'll be casting riders left and right, folks won't be able to hang on. And before you know it, boom...NCAAT team...

Jim Larranaga playing the transfer market smart again this year dipping into the Sun Belt conference to get a top player. Much like last year when he did similar with George Mason.

What PC has done is good, but we should look at what UMass and Bryant are doing and be encouraged. At the end of the day, you know, whatever they get for dudes...we will get better dudes.

Okay, R72, I’ll bite. What could URI have done better than hire Archie? What didn’t URI do in 2022 than it has done already? We've been through this already...the only thing they could have done better was to hire you know who. That didn't happen, the absolute next best thing did. Now, just need to...

He is killing it. Why ruin it by going to Fordham. Exactly.

First, I think it is supposed to read "Bro IS living proof" and "In" is a typo. Second, translation: moving up the ladder, or words to that affect. Third, I would be cautious about reading these kids social media accounts. I don't think they are cryptic messages meant for adult ...

I trust in Archie and believe he can build a TEAM at URI that can win the A10 championship. I think Iggy has it about right. The Yahoos who expect immediate success are clueless and are hurting the program by setting unrealistic expectations. We need players who are 100% team first. We don't need a...

There is a growing school of thought that many long time coaches don’t enjoy the fact that other schools can now also bribe and pay kids to go play there. Do you you think more places see that as a "problem" or an "opportunity"? Good question, and which places see it as a “probl...

Arch did not come here to not make the tourney.

NYGFan_Section208

Ramster not you too. Of course, Archie feels that way, coach's talk. Realistically I don't see us finishing ahead of Dayton, Davidson, SLU. Also put VCU, maybe the Bonnies (depending on who returns), Richmond if Burton returns, and GM, just below the top 3. UMass finished above us last season and t...

The beginning of the dam break? Where in a week or so span, all will realize NCAAT year one is. ... happening? Would be nice to wrap that all up by the STH event.

NYGFan_Section208

Glorious, indeed. Slow? No. I read somewhere that he said he's not here to be top 3 A10, but to win it. I'm thinking he wants that year one, and thinks he can do it, whether he says it or not.

NYGFan_Section208

This staff, particularly Kenny Johnson, does stealth recruiting with very few leaks. Look at the one player signed so far: it happened so quick there wasn't even a thread on this board. Trust me, the coaches are working hard. Next 2 weeks should be interesting. Maybe Arch will announce the new play...

NYGFan_Section208

I stand corrected, Arch would not bother with the package deal...which is an even stronger position than taking it on and managing it. It will be interesting to see if the kid lands on a good path, or remains connected to the MD-N....

Dam break coming. Get ready.

What if the slime did accompany Tre? Would only be a year, right? With Arch in control...seems it could work. Guy seems like a jackalope, but how much harm could he do in a ArchStrong org?

The next assistant coach is anyone who can bring along one or two quality players immediately. They are easily replaceable. Start getting quality players or Tammi will be outdrawing Archie next year!
