3 out of the 4 recruits will play. A lot. Adams may not get as many minutes as the others, being behind Dowtin and Fatts at PG. Akele and Layssard will get occasional minutes, not much more. With CT it depends on whether he's fully back from injury...I don't see him playing major minutes. Tertsea w...

mstyles- didn't young Raf go to Columbia but decided not to play hoops or am I mistaken? and Verona NJ, home of Kevin Bannon who gave Danny his first college job at RU.....small world......many connections I believe so. He was the best player on that loaded team, most of which went to Seton Hall Pr...

PRT, Big Apple Ram, Obadiah,- thanks guys- I think Danny made a mistake, I really do. He obviously doesn't think so and thats all that counts, but he built a great infrastructure and would have really enjoyed the fruits of that labor for many, many years to come. the conference is excellent, can't ...

Full disclosure: I'm all in on hiring Dave Cox. TP, Blue Man and a few others have echoed my reasoning so no reason to get into it there. As far as the concerns in hiring a first time coach, I get it. The Jerry D scars seem to cut very deep with a lot of you. But once the stumping for Pitino gets in...

Also, isn’t being a college hoops fan strange? Like most of you, I absolutely love it. The peaks and valleys, the “you’re with us or you’re not” mentality, the feeling of “we did it” when it finally come to fruition. But at a program like Rhody, literally every season comes with a guarantee that we’...

mstyles22

Man, am I glad I didn’t watch that. I would have guessed there would be a lot of Calhoun ball washing. Peace out, Dan. Thanks for the memories but you don’t matter here anymore. Just like that. 10 years from now when you come and kibitz with Steve and a still kicking Don at halftime of one of our ga...

mstyles22

I said this on the recruiting threads but I'll say it again... In my almost 20 years as a Rhody fan and following the program very closely, I have "my guys". We all do. Guys that we look back on and are proud that they were part of the program. There have been a lot of them. Not just neces...

I still won't allow myself to be mad at Dan. But I keep paraphrasing a line from Adam Scotts character in Step Brothers in my head. "I made 1.2 million dollars last year" "It's not about the money" "OK...but UConn offered me 3.1 million, so yeah it kind of is about the money...

mstyles22

You guys are burying the lead. Nevada and Alabama are coming to the Ryan Center next year. WVU at Mohegan.

Those are all way better profile boosters than UConn. If you're talking AAC, I'd rather play Houston again.

mstyles22

To continue the gag fest...in UConn's release about the hiring Dan is quoted as calling UConn "One of the best public universities in the country." Are you F-ing kidding me. Let me know the next time a student, based on academic standards, chooses UConn over UVa, Michigan, Ohio State, UCL...

I am with you on Coach Cox, but I don't think we need to denigrate Oats to elevate Cox. They would both be great choices, but in our current situation I think I'd prefer coach Cox. Everyone should listen to the Yurview podcast interview with Cox. The host mentioned that he spoke with Luke Murray (f...

I don't care if you say that my opinions suck. You are entitled to your opinion, I would never say otherwise , to anyone. But you called me a troll and then ATP "Liked" it. If you don't want me around, just say so. Seriously, I won't be the first 20+ year fan on the internet to be run off...

Good Presser. My quick takes... - Poor Thorr, I love the guy but it looks like he's had a pretty sleepless week. - Do not overlook how he handled the "Do you want a guy with NCAA Tournament experience?" question. He said "Every coach has been an assistant at one point..." - So We...

Hypothetically, do you think this would be campus games (which is what I'd prefer) or Mohegan games (which is what they'd prefer)?

Someone who is better at Twitter than me...Has Harris always had that "Elite 8" retweet on the top of his page?

mstyles22

Tate and Martin alone is still better than most of our recruiting classes we've ever had.

A similar tweet or message from the like of Harris, Fatts, Jeff, Cyril and Adams would quickly turn around a dismal morning.

mstyles22

We'll be there! Can't wait.

mstyles22

And just like that, he became my guy.

mstyles22

Oh boy, looks like we're approaching full meltdown mode here, everyone breathe... I thank Dan for his efforts and would stand-up and cheer for him as an opposing coach (out of respect, not because I ever wish anything well for UConn). It remains to be seen how much of this scenario was talked about ...

Ugh I got a bad feeling we lost DH to UConn . 2 different reports have it at 3.1 M per year so maybe its true ?? Not happy about it but life must go on . Hopefully we get the recruits to stay I’m seeing the same. Really sucks if true because Dan really could have made something special happen here....

According to my sources, Main Source is a criminally underrated 90’s hip-hop group even though “Breaking Atoms” got 5 mics from The Source.

Honest question: Are we as a University too passive? When I have a good year work-wise, I’ll donate and have so for about 10 years. I’m not sure what qualifies as a lot, but it’s certainly more than $20.18. And I’m not hating on those who gave what they could even though it might be too late. My poi...

A friend of mine who is the personal attorney of a B of T member at UConn told me 20 minutes ago that "This DEAL is COOKED and BAKED..." meaning all the conjecture of Dan Hurley to the University of Connecticut is OVER. Hurley will be the next coach at Connecticut. Money was the most impo...

Their football team is like a for-profit school popping up in the last 15 years. Cuse has jim Brown. BC Doug Flutie. Pitt Dan Marino. Foolish for them to try to get up to speed in a blink of an eye. Don't forget the fact that in 2010 when they won the Big East by default (despite 4 losses) and play...

Tale of two boards. - We seem to think Thorr/Dooley will convince Dan to stay for less. And local news and beat guys reporting similar. - UConn board seems to think it’s a “done deal” and things are signed, but Dan just wants to meet with the URI side and leave on his terms. And their local news and...

More speculation so skip if you’re tired of the madness, BUT... - Why would Dan take the UConn job so soon if those reports were indeed true? - What if Willard leaves Seton Hall for Pitt and that job opens up? I bet Dan would hypothetically kick himself as SHU seems like the ideal gig for him in a m...

mstyles22

The speculation floating around in this age of information is dizzying. Already reading debates about Harris decommiting: Does he follow Dan to UConn or go to Xavier which was his 2nd choice? Lol

It’s madness. I might put my phone under the bed for 48 hours and check the updates on Wednesday.

I hope you’re not happy if you’re proven right. That’s kind of a crappy thing to gloat about.

Need to settle down a bit. The fact that we’re only down 2 given how we’ve played says something about this team.

Now let’s go take it.

Quick observations... - What needs to be said about the FTs? How about we make some in the 2nd half. - It’s pretty simple, we need to hit more shots. Open looks from 3 need to go down. - I say this every game but we need to run more sets thru Jeff in ISO. He’s so good at breaking down his guy and fi...

I address this. The facts are, UCONN is not the job it was in the old Big East. The AAC is not a league that will produce any more Final 4 teams than the A10. The A10 have had our share of top 5 ranked teams in the past, the two leagues are very comparable. The main issue is how the Kevin Ollie sit...

I am a Uconn fan first, but I spend a lot of time in RI (parents summer house) and "root" for URI as a secondary team. I use quotes because the extent is very small, but if URI is on I will root for them over pretty much anyone else. So I come in peace. With that said, I cant say that I h...

The UCONN board is HIGHLY entertaining if like me, you're working with a premise that Hurley wouldn't be interested in UCONN. The latest thread has people debating which of our 2019 recruits are worthy of their program and which ones aren't. Shit like, "We'll take Harris, but they can have the ...

Non conference SOS (kenpom) is #67. Tell me what you think the five best wins are. I posted after last season very positively about DH. You can look it up since you are so obsessed.
