Even Bassy/Cam/Luis/House/Jemarcus seems crowded no? I’m waiting for another shoe to fall Imho this is how it’ll go: JL,LK,JH as the three starting guards ST and CE as the backups I don't see Cam staying here if he's not starting. Isn't he the one player most of us agreed we needed to keep the most...

What is production? Do wins and losses count towards production?

In this case, I'd go with mpg, ppg, rpg, and assists per game. Others may differ...

"We've played other teams with injury problems, sometimes without their best player. If we were totally healthy and the teams we played were totally healthy, I actually think our record would be worse than it is now." This is the quote. I didn't exactly remember it right! And I wasn't jus...

I put this in another thread too - I have been mentally preparing myself for this the past 36 hours since I heard.

Now let’s land Isaiah Miranda!! :o I have no idea what Miranda’s ceiling is at this point. But, we may as well kick the tires on him ?

Everyone here should be expecting WAY more in Archie’s third year than getting a one year rental Sebastian Thomas. He’s better, but not a needle mover at all. Disappointing.

Bassy will have a more productive year this year than Hammond. Mark it down. I can very much see that happening. and it's nothing against Hammond....maybe someday he'll be really good. I just don't see that day being next season...and it's a one season game these days. Kinda like fantasy football.....

Just so ironic to me Hammond decommitted (supposedly) because Kenny left, and now he’ll go to to a school where Kenny isn’t coaching at either lol I think Lawrence is the reason he left If Lawrence is more of a 2 than a 1, why would that make Ben leave? He knew the team was in desperate need of a p...

RIFan, over the years, I have often wondered why the university can’t build more pride.

However, I am sure it is a combination of many things. I've...

Exactly how many big donors do you think there are for URI? Look at our endowment for example. We are not in the top 150 for endowment size.

Bottom line is that y’all need to donate more - if you don’t you aren’t a real fan … so pony up for bassy or any other castoffs … skip that daily cup of coffee and instead donate to players - but don’t ask for a cut of the gate … after all you aren’t the owners of the stock you are purchasing - you...

If Bassy is indeed visiting then imo he commits. We could do worse. What this indicates to me is actually a positive. Based on the players who have stayed and those who have left, we could have a squad who gives consistent effort, even though the talent level might still not be good enough to conte...

This might be true in the case of Hammond, but Lawrence was a backup guard for Nebraska that average over 6ppg.
