I was fine with Luis or JLaw running starting, but even watching JLaw this week, he really isn't natural at it and someone like Bassy can put a little more pressure on the d...

Or are we sending Ways to Albany

I was and still am a big Bassy fan. I am very happy he is coming home. I agree on another player or two leaving. I hope Cam stays. Bassy will find him on the wing for some spot-up threes If we lose Cam over this then that would not be good. Only want to lose either Ways, Luis or both, if you're los...

Never mind contributing to NIL. The question looming is do I want to fork out season ticket money again for a program that appears to be in complete disarray. With payment due in a few weeks, is the product worth driving an hour each way anymore. Who's on the team? Who's our lead recruiter? Has our...

It takes talent and effort to play it. We didnt have much of either last season. We are still about 3 beers short of a six pack in order to rectify the issues. The longer nothing happens the less confident I get when it comes to getting better. One decent commit is nowhere near enough. It could com...

Yeah URI (tried to?) play Packline. The larger point is UVA which won a national championship playing Packline got smoked multiple times this past season. Obliterated. Elite D1 coaching has figured out how to destroy it. It will also be a interesting study to watch what Bennett does. Does Miller ha...

Apostoles is listed as a guard. He may fit as a wing guy. It's really hard to find film on him...

PeterRamTime

Leaving to follow a coach is understandable, but he’s basically a quitter if he goes elsewhere. Commitments are futile. I can't believe you think Jared Terrell is a quitter to then! Could not disagree more. JT decommiting from OK St is maybe a little underrated around here. That was almost a bigger...

We should be ahead of a lot of these clubs in the pecking order. Is it possible Miller cut bait for some reason on Hammond? It’s all s...

PeterRamTime

I get that the A10 is traditionally a guard dominant league but can we at least add one good big (my good being can play above avg D, rebound well at our level and have a move or two on O to keep the oppositions D honest) ? Throw in a developmental big, too, that can eat some minutes in an emergenc...

PeterRamTime

Alright

Ready for more transfer targets!

PeterRamTime

I agree, if Lawrence is a floor general type PG. However, some respected posters have indicated he may be more of a 2 guard (I don’t know myself as I haven’t done a deep dive on his game). I favor floor general/coach on the floor type PG’s and I hope Lawrence fills that role for us. He's not a floo...

Some of these transfers just don't make much sense. This is 1 of them. Follows his coach across the country. Has an alpha role on a team that fills their gym every game and can contend for an NCAA bid. I am sure he was being paid to some extent but how much more is someone offering him? I can't ima...

Loyola is doing what I thought Archie would do. They are killing us so far. Hopefully, that will change. Is it really fair to compare ourselves to them? They had one bad year after a bunch of key players graduated and got right back on track. Their program was waaaaay healthier than ours. I know so...

PeterRamTime

Yeah you have to still recruit freshmen. Yes guys portal like crazy, but you still have to try. It's the best way to maintain as much continuity as possible.

PeterRamTime

Don’t think it was puking it was LOL’g Of course players read KB. If any of us saw our name in a thread we’d all read it. Some of the stuff posted in team forums is LOL worthy. I’m not the least bit offended by Luis post. Just reinforces my opinion that most players read KB. https://x.com/luiskortr...

PeterRamTime

You were going to have Hammond or Lawrence, not both. For one year...who do you take? Hammond in a second. He would have been the future if they could have kept him somehow for 4 years For one year? Lawrence, without question. Lawrence is a better player right now. You want Hammond because he could...

PeterRamTime

I was NEVER excited about Hammond coming here, because I don’t believe in “commitments” anymore. The way things are now, incoming players have to earn my trust and fandom. Even then, I don’t expect them to stick around for more than a year or two, which stinks. I think TV ratings of men’s college h...

Really? Because of a kid who never enrolled, took a class, put on uniform, etc. at URI? Get over it. I think it's BS if another team takes our asst and one of his recruits with him. No I will not get over it. I highly doubt Hammond is going with him. Mack was who Gtown was after; I still think ther...

To be fair

Doesn't seem like a ton of portal guys have committed yet..like across the country. Slow moving portal season.

I've been thinking lately If we had gotten our shit together this year and had more success, we probably don't return the core players we return. They were just inconsistent enough we can add solid pieces to compliment them and have a decent team next year. UMass had a decent year and they lost som...

Bottom line, in my opinion, is we have zero D1 point guards on the roster right now so I think we need two (I don't consider Kortright a true PG even if he does come back). How we end up getting there is anyone's guess! I'd go as far to say having Hammond + either of those portal PG's makes us a si...

PeterRamTime

So, if we get Lawrence, how long before Hammond decommits? Lol why would he? Because he sees his playing greatly reduced? For 2 years? That would mean that Archie and them already know that adding another PG would cause him to leave. Does Hammond expect to start and play 30+ minutes his freshman ye...

I'd prefer Coit over Lawrence since he's a PG. Even if he's off he's still pushing the pace and running the offense. Lawrence could maaaaybe play the 3, but if we got both maybe someone else leaves like Luis. Jamarques Lawrence is a PG. Idk why you say the 3. He came off the bench for Nebraska and ...

I'd say he is probably more talented...at least more athletic than any of our other guards.

I do think he's similar to Cam though.

Land him and Coit!

The kids I think we are brining back the right group and the transfers we bring in need to fit it in a way that keeps our team from having the absurd meltdowns they experienced last year.

Hammond's coach speaks highly of Archie and how he sold Hammond on his vision for him. Yeah just because he doesn't like talking to media people doesn't mean he can't relate to basketball players. He definitely can, when he's talking about basketball. We don't know whether he can relate on a human ...

I'm hoping Archie isn't the lead recruiter. He doesn't possess the best people's skills. Once someone is on campus and Archie just has to talk basketball, I think he'd be good though.

I think we're reading way too much in to twitter followers. It can be a good indication of guys we might be recruiting but I wouldn't read much more in to it then that. When it comes to transfers, I would guess that Archie is the lead recruit in most cases, especially for the top targets. Yeah and ...
