I'd love to have this kid. Would be nice to have a really tall & talented group of young guys that could play together and develop a bond.

The Dude

Would love to see him at URI! Full support!

The Dude

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KULlapjLI/?igshid=gwwtfcdvjrso Not a good move in my opinion. He's likely getting some really bad advice. These families of these players I feel are trying to ride the coat tails of what they likely see as a potential star relative that could make money in the NBA or w...

The Dude

I wish him well. I feel like he could've been a solid contributor. Players need to get impartial advice. I feel like him and others transfer before ever understanding what a great value it could be to them to stay. Life is hard. Adversity is all around. He was given some solid minutes as a "Fre...

The Dude

I love Fatts. We're all different. He's growing each year. He's also a bit shorter than most guys on the floor and still manages to put up big numbers on most nights. I appreciate and value Fatts as a player. Can't wait to watch him next year!

The Dude

He looks smooth...really smooth. Guys who were guarding him were his size and he turned around with a quick release and made those shots with ease with defenders with their hands up. He looks promising. I like him. He looks agile for a big guy.

The Dude

Well it appears Rhody has the favorable side of the bracket. Looks like the Dayton side will be a dog fight till the end...with Dayton, St. Louis (red hot), and VCU (desparate). I think St. Louis could have a shot at controlling the paint and "possibly" pulling off an upset on Dayton. Not ...

The Dude

I believe: in Cyril & Dowtin setting the tone, in Martin skying for rebounds and making it down pour 3s, dropping 30+ like he did on Cam Reddish, in Fatts stealing the ball so many times that it makes everyone watching feel like their missing something, and then raining daggers from behind the ...

The Dude

Cyril & Dowtin are special players for sure! They have my utmost respect. Love those guys!

The Dude

It would Not shock me one bit if we somehow beat Dayton, get our hopes Up, then shit the bed @ UMass. Spoken like a true, bonafide Rhody fan. I'm sure all of us share that sentiment. Sadly, it's just ingrained in us after years of disappointment. I hope that isn't the case though. ...but I thought ...

Tough game to have on senior night. Going to miss Cyril & Jeff. I have the utmost respect for them and the way they've played since their very first years at URI. You could tell those two had "it". THIS IS WHAT RHODY NEEDS TO DO. CHANNEL THEIR INNER MJ. https://twitter.com/HistoryJumpm...

The Dude

Things swirling around in my head: - Martin took a long time to show up in this game. - Harris continues to perplex me. No idea how come he struggles. Coaching? Officiating in his head? This team NEEDS him to perform to have any real shot against stopping opponents with a big skilled center. URI is ...

The Dude

WOW! VCU is just tanking down the stretch. They have lost 5 games in a row now.

The Dude · Re: 2/26 | Fordham | 7:00PM (ESPN+) Toppin & Martin saved their ass tonight.

Toppin & Martin saved their ass tonight.

The Dude · Re: 2/26 | Fordham | 7:00PM (ESPN+) OH SHIT!

OH SHIT!

Toppin = CLUTCH!

The Dude · Re: 2/26 | Fordham | 7:00PM (ESPN+) This is it right here. For all the marbles.

This is it right here. For all the marbles.

The Dude

I can't tell which is worse. Looking at the ESPN play by play online or you guys watching it on TV. Cringing with every score change.

The Dude

So what are the odds on Tyrese getting 40 tonight?
Edit: Scratch that 35? (40 is bit much)

The Dude

So Tyrese has a double double in the 1st half. Nice!

The Dude

Am I reading the box score right? Does Fatts have 3 personal fouls in the 1st half so far?

The Dude

Personally, I've seen this play out time and time again with Baron coached teams. We are on the cusp of making the tournament and then URI does something like loses to UMass in the last game of the season and it all goes out the window. In my opinion, if URI loses to anyone but Dayton in the last 4 ...

The Dude

Exactly, let’s cut the sanctimonious crap like our students wouldn’t do the same thing in the same situation. Hell ours didn’t even show up yesterday bc it was Valentine’s Day, are you F’ing kidding me. That is WAY more embarrassing than some students being overzealous and running on the court earl...

The Dude

Incredible to see just how many teams in the top 25 lost today! Wow! The NCAA Tournament this year is going to be ripe with upsets and the craziest it's ever been. There doesn't seem to be much separating the top teams from the mid-level teams. Dayton beat UMass by single digits today. I still think...

The Dude

I see a little freshman EC in Leggetts game. Great body control in the air. I noticed that as well. It's the part of his game that stood out to me the most. He really has a knack for contorting his body to get the ball in the basket from some tough angles with contact. He'll be a good slasher in th...

The Dude

Looks like Berkmar won tonight. Anyone know how Elijah did?

The Dude

Dayton looks to be slowing offensively a bit. They've had some close-ish games (Duq. & St Louis). As far as being ranked #6 in the nation goes, they should be blowing people out, but their last 3 games they've scored in the low 70's in points. Slump? Hahaha. If you can call it a slump for a team...

The Dude

I'd love to see URI play Ohio State. In my opinion, that team is ridiculously overrated. It would make for a great 7 - 10 upset! Although, I doubt that will be the team URI actually plays if they make the tournament, but it's nice to dream. Also, on a side note, I doubt West Virginia or Creighton wo...

The Dude

This would be awesome! I would love this! It would be great to have a guy who is passionate about Rhody basketball on a very deep level, whom plays on the court as well. He would instantly feel comfortable here and I bet he would give it 100% every game. I imagine he could post some good numbers ear...

There can only be one! Do it! Do it!

The Dude

I think both of these guys playing for Rhody would be great for the team and them. They've likely already developed a chemistry in AAU and bringing that to URI would put them ahead of the game in the team chemistry department. It can take a while for a team to develop the right chemistry. Just look ...

For once I'd love to see URI have some kind of super squad that strikes fear into the heart of their opponents! Richards and Harris would put that paint on lock down! Trying to keep positive vibes man.

The Dude

Come to URI Akeem!
Harris and this kid will dominate the paint in the A10. Twin towers. Shot block city.

The Dude

If Berry and Odusipe both commit to URI, this team will be locked and reloaded next year. Oh man, watch out A10! I don't know how many spots are left, but getting Richards as well would be icing on the cake. Friday is going to be nuts! Great game to attend! Cox needs to be Yoda and basically say &qu...

The Dude

The Dude

Since prior to last weekend I figured we'd know who the contenders and pretenders are in the A10 after this weekend's games. In my opinion it appears we now have a good idea as to who will be fighting for the top spots in the A10 down the stretch. It looks like Dayton, Richmond, URI, & maybe VCU...

The Dude

Just saw this headline on ESPN: "USMNT's Bradley out 4 months after successful surgery" I would never wish an injury on anyone, so I don't want this to be misconstrued, but this could be a huge blessing for the USMNT. Bradley needs to stay far away from the national team and this just migh...

The Dude

After seeing Nichols St play Rhody last night, in addition to seeing how other college games are panning out, it would not surprise me if URI ends up with a much better SOS by the time conference play rolls around and some of these out of conference opponents have a chance to rack up some wins. Per...

The Dude

Tulsa is thumping Memphis right now! Wow!

The Dude

This is no disrespect to DC, but that was Hurley Era defense in the 2nd half. Easily our best 40 minutes of D all season. And agree it all starts with Cyril who is an elite defender, whether on the perimeter or protecting the paint. Our offense will always be a roller coaster, but if we can play D ...

The Dude

The fact that Duquesne is getting votes in the Top 25 poll over other teams in the conference like Rhody, Richmond, & St. Louis is an absolute joke. Don't get me wrong, Duquesne is likely a good team and Rhody should show up with their "A" game if they want to beat them, but they're by...

The Dude

Exactly. We are top in A10 defensively but not good at all on offense. It's shocking to me to see URI is at the top in defense because they have played pretty poor defense on a lot of possessions (overcommitting, ball watching, jumping on up fakes, too far away from perimeter shooters, etc). In my ...

The Dude

I'm telling you guys. They were shooting into the wind in the first half. The hawk was flapping his wings extra hard. Where's a tranquilizer dart when you need one?

The Dude

After checking out some of the teams' schedules in the A10. I feel like we'll have a really good idea as to who the true contenders and pretenders are in the A10 as of 1/23/20.

The Dude

Side note: Alabama hanging tough with Auburn right now.

The Dude

Yeah baby! RIght on cue! Fatts to the rescue! 71-58
