I swear yesterday he decided to thumb his nose at this board and took it to a whole new level of ridiculousness.

Agree with you on Miller’s Coaching. Agree with the minutes Miller allocated to Thomas. Disagree with you on Thomas. And as much as you clearly dislike Thomas, Miller could not do his Coaching as effectively without Thomas. In fact, I think Freeman hearing Thomas’ footsteps puts healthy competitive...

I think this is a weirdly important game in the rebuild process. Follow up a good game with another one. Gain some confidence. Take the next step.

UCH21377

I think the three bigs should just rotate in and out. Be aggressive, if you get a couple fouls, so be it put the next guy in. Samb was much better the other night. He played tough and held his ground. Tchikou was better in the second half. Stewart is young but I see no problem with letting him bang ...

UCH21377

I believe that is a solid program with good facilities in Ft Myers

UCH21377

Great game; congrats to the kids they played their asses off. Good for them they deserved a good win.

UCH21377

I'm still not sure who to blame here. Is it the NCAA that is holding this up? Or is it URI Admissions? Or possibly neither. Maybe there is still some gray areas regarding Ant's academics. Maybe the kid actually had to take and pass some classes. He is responsible for his own academic performance; n...

UCH21377

One thing I forgot to mention. That was the worst I've seen us defend the pick & roll all season. The bigs looked clueless. How many layups did they get because the big didn't slide back? Our bigs really struggle on defense. Not great rebounders either. We're going to need some help in that dep...

UCH21377

5917 attendance solid number for sure Far better than what one should expect for the A-10 team with the fewest overall wins in the entire league. This game was likely very much helped by it being on a Saturday with no weather issues as well as being a part of the five game mini pack package. Many o...

They'd be crazy not to. They don't have to look far to see how things go with no QB.

UCH21377 · Re: 1/21 | George Mason | 12:00PM (YurView/ESPN+) Can they play now?

Can they play now?

UCH21377

I liked Stan Robinson, but Leggett is better than him. It's always tougher to find someone who can score vs. someone who can defend. He's probably better than Iverson too. Phrasing the question as "would you take him over these X players?" seems kind of silly to me. I'm pretty sure Jared ...

UCH21377

That’s kinda my point, he is by far our best player, but he wouldn’t have started on our most recent NCAA teams. Just a point of reference for how much of a talent upgrade we need. I assume you would’t start him over Cat either…hahaha. Where does he fit on this list: EC, Terrel, Dowtin, Stan Robins...

UCH21377

That was such a bad performance I’m going to forget I watched it. We’ll be better next game hopefully

UCH21377

She called a time out with about a minute left and all the subs in. She spent two minutes coaching them as if the game was on the line. Mapping out a play etc. She has an incredible amount of energy. Need to try to get to more of their games.

UCH21377

Amazing what the right coach can do for a team. Jax is another example of what getting the right coach in place can do.

UCH21377

It's pretty apparent at this point there are no quick fixes. I think he is going to need the next two off seasons to build a roster that can compete down the road. And that roster will need time to develop. Thinking 2 more seasons to build the program, then maybe we'll have something 3 years down th...

UCH21377

105 nailed it. This will be a major challenge for Archie in a much different environment than his Dayton years. Talent evaluation will be absolutely critical going forward. Can't afford too many more whiffs in his recruiting the next couple of years. Yes patience is needed, but like 105 I dont have...

I've made all the home games except Army. I have ESPN+ for away games, and turn the volume off.

Every year we aren’t good someone posts this drivel about hey we shouldn’t be casting stones. Fordham has had like 2 winning seasons in 30 years. There are levels to this. And the convo is never about current season results it’s about investment, resources and ceiling. Some of the stuff posted on t...

UCH21377

Please stop saying we are in no position; we are not talking about this year, or last, or the last 5 even. We are talking in totality. Facilities, infrastructure, success, etc etc. We are in another stratosphere from Lasalle, Fordham and Duquesne. As are many other programs in the league. All of th...

UCH21377

I mean, they did just beat us. Their newly hired coach is very accomplished as well. Not like they hired some scrub off the street. I was going to say the same thing R15, in fact had already typed it and cancelled just before you said it. Frustrating when we try to act like we are so far above LaSa...

UCH21377

I don’t give him a pass, he’s the one who chose to lock in all 3 + year players and limit flexibility. Now he could always Briz some players, but we know how people feel about that… The most valuable commodity to any player is playing time. Frankly, I'd be hard pressed to name players who 1) stayed...

UCH21377

Thomas is supposed to be a smart player. He made an inexcusable error. I didn’t have volume on so I thought Freeman fouled out. How can you possibly remove him at that point in time? I agree with teaching moments but not the last 4 minutes. Rory just isn’t ready; none of our bigs are other than Bila...

UCH21377

Carey has helped this team a lot, even though stats don't necessarily show it. Mentioning Stewart and not Carey? I'll assume it's just an oversight. If you’re referring to me, I’ve been in Carey’s camp since Day 1. And the stats definitely show it. One of the most consistent players we have. no R15...

Wednesday was as bad as I can remember seeing it. No students, lots of concessions shut down, etc.

UCH21377

Cooley would be crazy to move anywhere. Georgetown a top ten job? Maybe 30 years ago.

UCH21377

…You’re acting like 36% from 3 is bad? That is a good percentage, if any player shot 36% from 3 in a season every coach in America would take that. Stewart is shooting 13%, looks slow, 3 steps behind the play, and just completely overwhelmed. We all agree Four McGlynn was a good shooter for us. He ...

Obadiah stated what I am thinking, but not sure how it will all play out. The A10 is in a really bad position. The first tier is the big 6, including any future additions/modifications. That process has only begun; USC and UCLA were the first dominos of many that will fall. When everything shakes o...

The long term outlook for the A10 is not bright. I don't think contraction is the answer. I'd be surprised if URI is in the A10 in 10 years.

UCH21377

The A10 is losing status every year. We are in no position to knock the ASun or virtually any other conference at this point. As for recruiting rankings, I think getting more highly rated freshman helps the cause. EC, Hass, Terrell all examples. Transfers are trickier but Iverson and Robinson are go...

UCH21377

The A10 has been gradually heading south, and the Nashville market makes a lot of sense. The A10 needs to grow to prepare for the inevitable poachers from BE or wherever. 2500 isn't great but it can grow. FWIW we're trending down right now ourselves; with an aging season ticket holder base and casua...

UCH21377

I am ok with the Loyola add but think Belmont was and still is a better fit. Plus it adds the rapidly growing Nashville market.

UCH21377

I now think this rebuild is unfortunately going to take longer than most originally anticipated (myself included). The program lacks talent and it will take several recruiting cycles to accumulate it. This year is looking to be among the worst seasons I have ever witnessed in my 45 years following ...

UCH21377

Happy New Year all. I’m not sure all this team needs is experience…let’s beat the dead horse…they need talent. Bray and Ish are good players, but I wouldn’t say they are alphas on a good team. Who else on this team projects to be that? You will have to squint real hard to see someone on this team t...

UCH21377

No he couldn’t help us. Who needs 27 and 10?

UCH21377

So other than actually being accepted/admitted to URI as a student, and being declared eligible by compliance/NCAA, we are good to go. It sure doesn't seem like he will be playing in a game this year, but you never know I guess.

UCH21377

I agree with that too, think it should be our starting 5

I’m sorry but 2-6 against the schedule we’ve played is a D. On the bright side you can see these kids are getting coached up. We need some more scorers.

Easterling as a Thomas comparison got brought up last year, but Easterling was a 78 percent shooter from the line for his URI career, and ended up as a 48 percent shooter from the field and 40 percent from 3, albeit it a rate of 1 attempt per game. I like what Thomas showed this first game, but his...

UCH21377

Looks like we have another total rebuild to deal with. Think we have an 8-10 win team this year. Who can help us going forward? We'll see.

UCH21377

We need some guys in there that can rebound.
