From Kevin McNamara's piece yesterday:Kevin McNamara wrote:Hurley was thrilled to report that senior E.C. Matthews is fully recovered from the knee surgery required after he was injured in the first half of last November’s season opener. Although cleared for full workouts, Matthews was kept out of scrimmaging in July but will be ready come Labor Day weekend. "He looks and feels great," Hurley said.

Re: EC Matthews Progress Report ?
I'm pumped to see EC back in action. I still haven't recovered from seeing him go down last year.

Re: EC Matthews Progress Report ?
It looks like A10 Talk will have him as one of the top four players in the league this year. Personally I don't see that right out of the gate, but hopefully he'll be at that level by the time conference play rolls around.

I hope EC can handle the enormous amount of pressure everyone's putting on him, especially the media.

Re: EC Matthews Progress Report ?
Probably better than ever before. It's being spun by people who don't follow the program as closely that the problem last year was just missing EC and that having him back is the only difference-maker. He's huge, obviously, but he has a lot of support, even comparing it to if he had played last year. They started last year with a 10 man roster (Iffy quit, Butts ineligible, Robinson sitting out) and no senior program guys. The depth and experience is already better. We can't know what will happen with injuries, but it's at least unlikely that 4 of 5 starters and the first guard off the bench will miss time. What I'm saying is, EC is important, but he doesn't have to do everything (and they all should remember that).Rhodymob05 wrote:I hope EC can handle the enormous amount of pressure everyone's putting on him, especially the media.

Re: EC Matthews Progress Report ?
I think EC had more pressure on him last year than this year. Being selected only 4th among the Top 25 lends itself to this as well.
Plus the more experienced and deeper supporting cast makes this truly a team of reckoning.
FYI here are the top 25 players to announced to date by A10 talk................
I'll be very surprised if Iverson is not among the Top 25 players by the end of the season and could even be a candidate for All Conference when all is said and done. He seems to be an overlooked guy going into the season by the tabloids.
Top 3 have not been listed yet but should end up Jack Gibbs-Davidson, Charles Cooke-Dayton and Jaylen Adams- St Bonaventure

I would hope EC would stick around if he's not a sure first rounder. I'd hate for him to get Bentil'd.

Re: EC Matthews Progress Report ?
I wasn't exactly sure where to put this one, but since it mentions EC I'll place it here.
http://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/ ... r-stars-2/
E.C. Matthews, Rhode Island: A potential breakthrough season for the Rams essentially ended 10 minutes into the 2015-16 season when EC Matthews tore his ACL. I hope fans didn’t forget about the 6-foot-5 lefty. As a sophomore, he averaged 16.9 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. Voted as a preseason second-team, all-conference selection, E.C. Matthews will contend with Jack Gibbs for A10 Player of the Year honors.
Side note: I've been a long time visitor to the forum but have finally decided to participate in the discussion! Go Rhody!

Re: EC Matthews Progress Report ?
I picked Jared Terrell as this year's high scorer, thinking EC would be rusty, especially early in the year. EC certainly didn't look rusty tonight.

Re: EC Matthews Progress Report ?
I like how E.C. played today. I liked the fact that he had a knee brace on. The knee brace will hopefully help ensure he stays on the floor this season.

Re: EC Matthews Progress Report ?
There's been some talk of EC having a "tired" knee. Don't know if that's the case but I have noticed a lack of lift in the last few games. If rest would help, they could sit him Dec. 11-30 and he'd only miss HC and W&M.

Iggy, agreed.....use Stan more if need be......we gain on defense and JG and Terrell can pick up the slack on offense....

Re: EC Matthews Progress Report ?
That's a great idea but I doubt it will happen. Hurley doesn't seem to be limiting his minutes at all so I don't see him sitting EC for two games unless EC specifically says something, which again, I doubt will happen.Iggy1979 wrote:There's been some talk of EC having a "tired" knee.

Also EC was a big reason why Brown never came back in that game. I'm sure Hurley doesn't want a potential scenario where we lose to HC or W&M and he sat EC when he didn't have to.
