'14 WI PG - Jarvis Garrett (URI Signed LOI)

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 10 years ago

I'm talking a 3 star Michigan HS player. I'd rather go with that, if we can get him.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 10 years ago

I'm all for getting a 4 year player with big upside, over a one or two, for sure.

Even though that juco, transfer, or post grad might be more ready to contribute right away.

We can already see that when Dan gets "his guys", how he can develop them.

Love the avatar, hope he enjoys the game tomorrow! Saw on his twitter page that he's about done with his Sr. year...any reliable stats on how his team did/ what his numbers were for this season?

Cool! Maybe he can bring Terance Mann(#1 rated player in New England's '15 class) with him.

I don't know numbers, but I imagine his team did very well. They were loaded.I thought I saw that he averaged 23 a game with a couple of 40+ games. And this from a pass first PG.

Nooooooo, I won't. One of the URI managers, who goes by RealWorldRELL tweeted him. I hope that's OK.

As long as he ended up in Kingston and not Mt. Pleasant, it's cool. He'll learn ...

ace · Unread post by **ace** » 10 years ago

Just a matter of interpretation- said he was on his way to Rhode Island for a college basketball game with his team, I think. In any case, they saw a fun one,

Right, I read it the same way. He was going to a college basketball game in Rhode Island.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 10 years ago

Yeah, he was behind the bench, but he wasn't with a team. He went with the team to the locker room at halftime, Preston waved to have him come with them. I did see what looked like a team in another section though, but Jarvis sat right behind the bench. He, like everyone else in the building, went crazy with the EC drive, put the ball behind his back and drop off for a Hassan monster dunk. I saw him jump up and clapping. That was quite a play.

Rhodymob05 · Unread post by **Rhodymob05** » 10 years ago

Yea I believe this game was a huge confidence booster for him and his verbal.

ram1980 · Unread post by **ram1980** » 10 years ago

walking down the south wind tunnel to the game and said to my wife jokingly there is our new point guard walking in front of us.. Young kid walking struggling to hold his pants up.. Did we get a laugh when that same kid gave Hurley a big hug before the game.. AH!! the youth of today..

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 10 years ago

Yes, because we all know that the height of one's pants are a key insight into the person.

It depends if that person is wearing underwear…...

Also saw the hug. Looked like he was a couple of inches shorter than Preston.

His HS coach said he's 5'10".

CT Rhody wrote:Additional job offers will continue to come for Murphy but remember URI is where he went to school. As URI upgrades this program and enhances the revenue from it, Hurley's package will increase which will increase the assistant coaches salaries. If Murphy continues to have recruiting success and grow as a coach, he might be a top candiate if Dan Hurley decides to leave 3+ years down the road.

With Preston being from Michigan and being able to recruit the mid-west, east coast and beyond, he might get offers to recruit in the BIG 10. With the BIG 10 being so tough this year, I am sure some assistant coaches will move on and some positions may open.

Buffalo could Dance this year.

If so, amazing job by Bobby.

ace · Unread post by **ace** » 10 years ago

He does know how to ingratiate himself to the Rhody masses, no?

And yes, it was favorited by Arroyo Edwards (who, let's face it, I'm going to keep calling Bronson Arroyo in my head), for all of you who just can't get enough of interpreting twitter.

sf2010 · Unread post by **sf2010** » 10 years ago

Love to see how excited Jarvis is about joining Rhody!!

Don't tell him, but isn't #3 retired?

ramfan85 · Unread post by **ramfan85** » 10 years ago

He's not going to get #3, is he? I thought that # was retired (Ernie C).

Running Ram · Unread post by **Running Ram** » 10 years ago

Its okay 85, Maryanne Winkowski contacted Ernie and he says go ahead and let Jarvis wear #3. Ernie also said to hang in there Rhody fans, he's been watching from behind the veil and has some inside info, 2014-2015 is our season, its all coming together.

Love to see this. I saw that the 4* PG committed to Marquette has decommitted so, as a neurotic hoops fan, the mental dominoes started falling. Good to hear he seems so solid.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 10 years ago

Look for him to sign very early in the period.

Especially since he's going on vaca in Cali in May.

Hopefully we will land another recruit in April, too. The longer into the signing window we go, without any more announcements.....

If he's signing them now, that fax will probably come in bright and early tomorrow morning.

(Also, is it weird to anyone else that they still use fax machines for signing days? Who uses fax machines?)

Very enthusiastic! Would like to get another guy for next year, but I like what we have.

Our players will get even more mature next year with bigger roles with X gone.

Their bodies will mature, their game and mindset also.

A must to add talent next year, then EC and Hass's 3rd year we will be something.

Still, I will have high hopes for this year.
