Dana and his MacDuffie team are playing at St. Andrews in Barrington this Saturday at 5:30. Good chance to watch Dana play along with his teammates Ismael Massoud and James Bouknight, 2 other Rhody recruits.

Not starting up anything....no, you'd never do that.

Billyboy78

If you listen to Iggy's interview with Tom Moore, coach said they will still take another '18 player if he's a special player. They are also looking at JC's. I would think we could attract a really good JC player this year with all the exposure we're getting. Also looking at 5th year and straight tr...

Fatts will be playing Jared type minutes next year, 35 or so a game. He will start.

Billyboy78

Reagarding that Temple team in '88. We know how good we were that year. We lost to them 3 times. They went 18-0 in conference.

Billyboy78

Great interview with Coach Moore. Selfishly I'd like to see him be here a couple of more years as I think he could get some big time recruits and he's also a very good coach. But I totally understand that he wants to be a head coach again. If he's truly interested in the Bryant job, they would be fo...

Do you know that Hass ended up #1 in FG% in school history?

Billyboy78

If he's feeling good on Friday, we could have him dressed , ready to go and use him if we need him. If we handle the Bonnies without needing him, 3 more days to let it fully heal wouldn't hurt.

Billyboy78

None of this happens without Matthews rolling the dice on Rhody. In my mind no question one of the top 5 personalities in the history of our program. Laid it all on the line for our Rams and continues to do so. Count me one extremely grateful URI Alum! Godspeed EC! Finish strong! And I have said th...

Frank Keaney's dream....the perfect fast bresk.

Billyboy78

Adams has been insane lately. Back to back games in the 40s, I believe. Can't let him go off early. But obviously we have a bunch of guards who can give him problems.

Billyboy78

Like I said, it wasn't a criticism. We need him to get to where we hope to go this year. He is very good when he goes to the hoop. When he's got the good angle, that bank shot is tremendous. When smarter defenses force him more left and he has to end up having to take the little floater from the bas...

Billyboy78

First off, let me say, I love EC . He's the recruit that got all this started. And he's still a valuable member of this team. I think the team plays faster, moves the ball better and plays better defense when he's not in the game. Towards the end of last season he looked like the player we know he i...

Yes, please encourage them to stay for the whole game. It's a really bad look when they all leave after halftime.

Billyboy78

With the t-shirt giveaway, I think a lot of students will show. If 2500 show, it could be close to a sellout.....and very loud!!!

Billyboy78

The Dayton game is already sold out.

EC needs 2 points to pass Pappy Owens 7th place all time, 3 to pass Steve Chubin for 6th, 17 to pass Jimmy Baron for 5th and 28 to pass Sly Williams for 4th. (How's that for some names!). Jared is currently 11th all time, but is a few games away from becoming top 10. He is 92 points behind Will Dani...

I just hope the season ticket holders who aren't going give their tickets away.

Billyboy78

Looks like there's about 2500 seats left, including the student sections. If close to 2000 students go, it'll be a really nice crowd.

Billyboy78

I wonder if he's too much of a project. We have enough big man projects now. I think I'd like to see a proven JC or 5th year guy, or even a transfer with that 5th scholly. I've never seen him play, but he doesn't look that special on tape to me.

Billyboy78

Hopefully nobody throws one of those gigantic ones that weigh about 50 lbs.

I can see people sitting in the 100s and 200s getting pelted in the back of the head by teddy bears coming from the 300s.

Another reason we need LOTS of students at this game.

I have to believe Preston is waiting for something better. But if he could go there, get a couple of Michigan recruits, get a couple of New England recruits and turn that program around, that would set him up nicely for his next head coaching job. Kind of the same thinking with what Dan did at Wagn...

Billyboy78

Looks like we're shooting higher with kids like Nickelberry and Gantt. Both top 75 prospects. Love it.

Billyboy78

I liked the old way of ranking and seeding. The voters actually had to watch the teams play instead of looking at a bunch of numbers.

No, Carlton was gone by then. He graduated in '76. The Duke game was in '78.

Billyboy78

I always admit when I'm wrong. I didn't see the need for it. But if it's going to keep Dan here and consistently give us seasons like the current season, I'm all for it now.

Billyboy78

Do any of you Boston guys know Carlton Smith? He was a very good player for URI in the mid-70s and is from Boston. I wonder if he is still in the area. Wasn't Smith a transfer from BC? I remember him well .... he was good. I don't remember if he was a transfer. He was already there when I got there...

Wow, this fan base is looking past having the #1 kid in the 2021 class. The kid has been to two games this season, outwardly has stated he loves the program and we’re showing him no love?

This game won't even be close to selling out. There's tons of tickets left. Surprisingly, there's tons for Senior night left also.

9th grader. Not as spectacular as Clarke, but already has very good skills. Project his development 3 years from now.

Billyboy78

What a fantastic game. The outcome was never in doubt and we looked like the Patriots against the Bills. And I agree with all others' observations: - Our depth is ridonkulous. Batman & Batman combine for 14 points and we win by 13. - 3 PGs in the game at the same time is incredibly fun to watch...

Billyboy78

And of course, we have Dana to help recruit kids like Clarke and Reyes now too.

I'm not sure what you clicked on, but I followed the links on gorhody and got right to our tickets at normal prices I was on GoRhody.com on the schedule section, clicked on tickets for Dayton and it took me directly to Vivid Seats. https://www.vividseats.com/ncaab/rhode-island-rams-tickets/rhode-is...

I've seen Clarke ranked as high as #2 in the '21 class.

Dana is a better shooter than Pollard.

I posted this somewhere else, so I'll repost it here. I guess this can be moved to the recruiting section. Anyway, at NPSI last week, I was sitting right behind Todd Quarles, the Expressions coach.

Easy to forget how good of a shooter Jarvis was before he got hurt/sick a couple years back. So much fun to see him playing healthy again. .......Rod loved him...... He wasn't the only one, though I fully comprehend why Jeff is the starting floor general. I still trust Jarvis' shooting more. I've l...
