Jordan Hare

eli#10 · Unread post by **eli#10** » 11 years ago

Does anyone know FOR SURE his status. I have seen statements that it was thought he cleaned out his locker, not working out, not on campus... What is going on??

We need him!!!!!!

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 11 years ago

I hate to say this, but if he is indeed gone, it's because he sees the writing on the wall, meaning little PT next year.

That also means he isn't willing to put in the work necessary to get PT. Hurley is tough, if you don't work hard, you're not going to get everything handed to you.

Hare could be a very useful backup on this team. If he wants to be. Losing him won't help.

One more thing. If he's left school, that's not going to help his grades. That's not good.

There are some circumstances in Hare's life,
which could be distracting him.
Let's wait and see what happens.

eli#10 · Unread post by **eli#10** » 11 years ago

Is he in school?

Keaney_Blue · Unread post by **Keaney_Blue** » 11 years ago

Let's not jump to any conclusions. I think Jordan can still have a bright future with the Rams. Hopefully he can't get through the personal stuff and get back to work. He still has a tremendous updside to his game.

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 11 years ago

I want Jordan to do what is best for him, and I hope that is to stay at URI. I still think he can be a very good player.

eli#10 · Unread post by **eli#10** » 11 years ago

So far nobody has answered the question of whether or not he is in school. This cannot be that big of a mystery.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 11 years ago

Yeah, 6'10" guys are not hard to miss on campus.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 11 years ago

Maybe there's a gag order out, until something is resolved. Then we'll know.

Hurley protects his kids. I imagine that's what he is doing.

One other possibility, not good for us. Maybe Dan's working on finding Jordan another school to transfer to.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 11 years ago

It's complicated.

eli#10 · Unread post by **eli#10** » 11 years ago

You guys are something else--if you don't know anything about his status why post at all??

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 11 years ago

So, why did you post?

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 11 years ago

Eli, you can rest assured that if a member of our community had any information that they were at liberty to share, that info would be here without someone specifically asking for it. His status was the subject of much discussion in the "Transfers" thread. Maybe that should have been separated out so it is easier to find, but if you're curious about what has been said about Jordan, you should check there.

He has a class across the hall from me Mon-Wed-Fri. He was there last Friday, I didn't notice on Monday. I'll let you guys know if I see him tomorrow. Mike Aaman is also in the class.

I'd listen to Rod. Let Dan handle this one. Not everything is what is seems.

Lets hope everything works out for Jordan, would love to see him back as a quality big off the bench

I think we did a poll once, but the vast majority of the people on this board are in the 25 to 65 age range. Meaning, not on campus on a daily basis. While there are a couple people close to the program who post on here, typically you're least likely to get rumors posted on the personal and academic lives of students, as opposed to, say, the head coach.

Someone here said they have a class across the hall from him and that he was there on Friday. I wonder if he was there today?

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 11 years ago

Man if somebody based my status on whether or not they saw me in class then everyone but my roommates and the bartender at Charlie O's would have thought I was dead.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 11 years ago

Amen to that.

Back when I was in school, a friend of mine and I made a bet. The bet was, who could cut more classes in a week?

I won. I missed them all. My friend went to one. Pretty stupid bet, huh?

I knew if I didn't go to any, I couldn't lose. Smart guy.

I don't know what he was thinking.

Optimistic · Unread post by **Optimistic** » 11 years ago

I didn't notice if Hare was in class today, but I wasn't exactly standing outside his classroom looking for him.

Girls used to wait outside of the JOR 110 class I was a TA for. Unfortunately, it was for Jimmy Baron, not me...

Kingston · Unread post by **Kingston** » 11 years ago

I know my first post started the hare rumor mill, and i got that info from athletes from another team that said they have not seen on campus. But good news. I hare he is coming back. From a very reliable source.. Everything was cleared with the people it needed to be cleared with. And I personally am glad he is coming back. I feel he will be a big part in our future A10 championships.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 11 years ago

My point about whether or not he was seen in class, was more like, "is he still on campus?", as opposed to, "is he back in Michigan?"

You don't give up on big men. They take longer to develop, but the payoff can be huge

section(105) · Unread post by **section(105)** » 11 years ago

Not giving up, however I said at the outset on the eyeball test, I was expecting more than he delivered and the progress was few steps forward then back......the development has got to be on ball handling, passing outside, footwork around the hoop, etc. etc.....I am confident the coaches will concentrate on the basic skills they need him to demonstrate in years 2-4.....if there's not significant progress between year 1 and 2, it will be disappointing.....

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 11 years ago

If the ability is there, Dan will find a way to get it out of him. As long as Hare is willing to work for it.

That's 2 big ifs. Next year will tell for sure.

Rhody15 · Unread post by **Rhody15** » 11 years ago

Not transferring.

That's great news. We really asked a lot from him and Mike as freshman. I think both are going to provide some spark next year. I try and not judge freshman too hard unless they totally fail, which Jordan did not. Glad he's staying.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 11 years ago

They should hire someone to folow Jordan around all day and stuff food in his mouth....I think he can be an effective player defensively and get some garbage points offensively. But he definitely needs to add 20-30 lbs. to avoid getting pushed around underneath. I'm glad he's staying.

Ramblinrose · Unread post by **Ramblinrose** » 11 years ago

I thought he was something less than advertised. But he showed glimpses. With experience and nutrition and a weight program, he could be very good in a year or two. If a guy 6-10 is truly polished in high school, he is probably going to Kentucky and not URI. Like Merlins Noel, another guy Baron whiffed on.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 11 years ago

Nerlens Noel, was the number one player for 2012 recruiting.
Baron? Not on the same planet.
Anyway, as I've said before, let Hare move in my house.
I can put weight in a skeleton, let alone someone needing 25-30 lbs.

ramfan85 · Unread post by **ramfan85** » 11 years ago

He needs to add muscle, not just weight. I strongly suggest
"Sweatin' To The Oldies." Who knows more about getting buffed than Richard Simmons?

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 11 years ago

Very good news. I keep saying this, but I feel like its important. Lets remember there was absolutely nothing around him as a supporting cast last year. I think playing next to Biruta and Big O moving forward could be a huge help. He wont be alone down low anymore.
