Re: Rhody FB Insiders Club-JMU line up!!

3. drop down a level, and have no interest and maybe still no success Why would dropping down a level cause lesser interest in the program? We are not in the top level. Notre Dame isn"t coming to Kingston. Really- wouldn't a win over Bryant or Robert Morris be more enjoyable than a loss to Ston...

Re: Rhody FB Insiders Club-JMU line up!!

Our biggest problem isn't the stadium. It is our recruiting base. As the State University our base should be RI. Problem is that we have very few players at our high schools that are on the CAA level. Last years RI Gatorade player of the year was a 5'8 QB who was not even recruited by the NEC, Also ...

Re: 2016 offseason odds and ends

We want as many NBA scouts as we can get but it does put added pressure on the coach. The game is only played with one ball at a time so egos need to fit in. Over trying to impress can be a problem.

Re: 2016 Men's Soccer

Put football where it belongs and give the program two more scholarships to put them closer to their opponents and maybe we would see a difference.

Re: Rhody Football costs the university about $500,000

The $500,000 figure is a joke. The starting amount should be $2,400,000+ (60 athletes x 40,000- out of state tuition, room and board.) All 60 that stayed for summer school must have lived in the woods and not ate because nothing was added to the cost. The seats could have been filled by paying stude...

Re: URI vs. KU line up!!

Lucky we didn't go down a division to play with Bryant. The Baseball, Soccer, Track etc. teams could have used the scholarships. You could still go and see games bui maybe we could gain an a foot per carry.
Drop it or move down.

Re: How many games do you thing the football team will win?

I am not saying the 500,000 figure is wrong for what it cost the athletic dept. Maybe the school writes off the cost of the scholarship (room, board, fees, tuition, books). I am saying that the scholarship expense must be considered because it could be replaced by a paying student sitting in the cla...

Re: How many games do you thing the football team will win?

I put down 3 wins but would say a 500 record or drop the program. The cost is not worth what we get. The figure that has been used on this site for the cost is no where near what is paid. Sixty athletes at the out of state cost of 40,000+ a year (plus one course and room and board- 2500+this summer)...

Re: Program Enhancements

Money talks. Also many benefits may be included. Such as an increase in getting players into camps and all star games. Coaches roles at recruiting camps and AAU tourneys.
Also unis for other sports may have some effect on the whole ath, budget that may increase bb funds.

Re: Game 12: URI at Old Dominion (Tuesday 12-22-15 7pm ASN)

A problem that I see is the way we do the few fast breaks we have. No matter if it is a 3 0n 2 or 2on 1 we never seem to make a pass to the man coming up the wing. Whomever has the ball goes all the way for the shot. Other teams must see this in their scouting because they seem to just stay with the...

I'm not sure anyone cares about fb seeing the Maine game was 47 hours ago and no one has even mentioned the outcome.
