Ty Johnson is leaving Villanova. 4 star recruit ... three years eligibility remaining... as a PG doesn't seem to fit URI's needs, but he is NJ player.

Iggy1979

Good guy. Good family man. Good coach.
(Still lives in Woonsocket, I believe.)

Iggy1979

11 people so far think they'll be above .500. That surprises me.

My brother looked at me during the game and said, "a lot of teachable moments." Exactly. Hurley talked to players when they came out of the game, offering tips, criticism. At one point Hurley took Powell out of the game for trying to pick the pocket of the other PG. In the past, mistakes w...

Iggy1979

Continued to be impressed with Bigby: 11 rebounds, 4 steals. Non-stop hustle; gets his hands on a lot of balls. Hurley was sending a message to Hare: work harder in practice if you want to play a lot of minutes. I think he'll get the message. Was impressed how under control Nik was. Opposite of last...

ramster: agree 100 percent on your assessment of Bull. Preston liked him because he was a big, strong guard but his skill level was questionable.

Iggy1979

One other observation: Dan Hurley is going to be a great mentor to Preston. During one timeout, Preston lit into Powell for not getting back on D. Was really screaming at him. Never had heard Preston raise his voice before.

Iggy1979

Unlike in Providence, where the Friars are picked last in the BE.

ATP: Just kidding.

Iggy1979

Like the banner. Did the person who suggested Keaneyblue.com get a Mews gift certificate or something.

Iggy1979

KMac said today that he's a full qualifier but can't play this year. what?

Iggy1979

Despite everything I've read and heard I was not ready for the intensity of a Hurley practice. wow. He does not tolerate mental mistakes. No mistake goes unnoticed. There's absolutely zero standing around. It's all business. The team will play good D and ball movement will be much improved. They mig...

Yes

Iggy1979

I read a book about Van Breda Kolff at St. Bon. he was so paranoid that he had the janitor removed from the gym once because he thought he was spying on the team.

Iggy1979

Agreed: class act. I respect some fans decision to stay away from the RC because they didn't like the direction of the program, but I just couldn't miss a game with Jimmy playing. Every night he was a threat to score 30 or more. Or hit a 3 from the CVS logo.

Iggy1979

Nice to see, although I'm starting to get worried that expectations are getting out of whack. I expect him to rebound and block some shots. College is often a big adjustment for big men and I expect there will be some bad games as he adjusts to the speed and athleticism of the opposition.

Iggy1979

Isn't that kinda obvious, that he's going to base his decision on "where I want to go."

there

Iggy1979

I wasn't there but someone else told me they were very impressed with Biggie.

Iggy1979

First time I've heard Bobby talk about running his own program some day. Not surprised but, like I said, I hadn't heard him say it before.

Iggy1979

How many years does he see himself playing overseas and would he like to then get into coaching?

Iggy1979

4 years vs. 2

Iggy1979

I haven't seen him in awhile but what I remember is an undersized power forward. Hopefully he either grows or develops his game away from the basket.

Iggy1979

Just watched the video for the first time. Liked that he can shoot and is not just an athletic wing. I agree with Blue Man: like that he came to midnight madness.
Seems like when Hurley gets a verbal it happens quickly after a visit so we'll see what happens this week.

Who cares?

Iggy1979

Good job on both ends.

Iggy1979

Thanks for the info. Killed me to be out of town. Looks like the team has good chemistry. I worry about the offense. Did anyone shhot it well?

Iggy1979

I, too, would like to know more about his offensive and defensive systems.
Also, he raves about his coaching staff; would like to know what each brings to the table and how he has divided responsibility among them.

Iggy1979

According to his tweets he's been suspended because he's late to school a lot and blew off detention. Can't imagine Hurley tolerating being late ....

Iggy1979

I don't think Google is an issue. I just googled Kentucky basketball forums and I got such sites as bluegrasshoops, wildcatnation and trueblueKentucky ....

Thorr is a big Joe Trainer fan ... is the coach in trouble?

I agree 100 percent. We gotta do better than that.

I like a nod to our history and Keaney.
