Re: Thank you for an amazing season!
In an interview Tammi made a reference to getting bigger, While from my seat I see the need for a proven PG, Tammi is a better judge at projecting the performance of her players and needs for the team.

Re: Thank you for an amazing season!
I would take a proven PG if one is available. The only PGs we have are Ines, Blagrove who didn't play and the incoming freshman. Ines gained experience this year, but she had trouble under pressure. I'm sure she will improve. But, what if she gets injured? We need a proven PG for 1 year.

Re: URI 2023 Transfers - Who Will Stay and Who Will Go?
Archie didn’t allow guys like Bray do whatever they hell they wanted like Cox did with Fatts and the twins. Last year sucked but Archie was a much better coach on the sidelines and he won’t allow any player to be above the team. The question is can he bring in the talent to win. The recruiting clas...
