Re: General Recruiting Discussion/Comments
I am liking the current state of affairs. Hopefully the new transfer rule gets approved and we can keep this team mostly intact going forward. Find a stud guard for 2021. They can’t save the scholarship. They need someone who is immediately eligible. Either a Grad Transfer, JUCO or a Fr. There is a...

Re: ‘20 TN PG - Norance Tres Berry (Offer)
I'm guessing it was explained to Ousmane that Berry might not come here before he committed. Then Berry really did a foot drag for some inexplicable reason. Anyway, "we got Malik Martin!!" Malik Martin wasn’t the second choice. Coach Cox wanted Malik over Berry. If Malik had said no, they...

Yeah the twins would be eligible at the latest December after the 1st semester like Antwan Walker.

It's either going to be Ousmane and Odusipe
or Ousmane and the twins
Should be interesting how this shakes out. Either option isn't bad and has merit.

I will make a friendly wager with anyone that Long ends up at a lower rated school than URI.
He wasn’t a great recruit and if he wants starter playing time he will need to go to a lower level team.
