He will be at Rhody next year. A tough former top 100 player that will fit into our new running style.

Change of scenery can go a long way sometimes...Stan wasn't that stellar of a player at Indiana.

Nice. Take him and Omar... call it a day

This is what happens when you have talented recruiters, with connections and a high degree of evaluation ability. Hence, the reason for the commotion on the other thread where Cox is trying to get a hold of other talented recruiters to fill out his staff.

Thanks for the heads up re: the music.

He's definitely a Hurley Sr connection. Does he have to sit out a year for transferring? I would think Dan would be all over this at UConn, but if he has to sit, he could probably benefit us more: he'll be a terror in practice and really push these young guys and then the payoff comes in the second year when the players are already used to him.

His profile up top has his school listed as St. Benedicts in NJ. Not sure if perhaps he started out there but ended up in Philly at Imhotep or what, but he definitely played with Fatts at Imhotep in 2016-17.

He's from Philly but spent a year at St Bendicts in Jersey before returning to play and graduate form IMHOTEP with Fatts. If you watch the video posted you can see Fatts quite a bit along side him.

You can be a both kind of guy. In fact, it is my strong belief that you should have an appreciation for both. Basically my whole music catalog late 60s/early 70s classic rock, 90s and early 2000s hip hop and mid-2000s to now indie rock. Diversity is key.

DC from purely a Steve and Don angst perspective, it's always nice to have a really talented non eligible guy on the rooster, so they have the excuse to say 4 times a broadcast how if you think this is good, we hear so-and-so is tearing it up in practice and we'll have him next year. It's like a Rhody tradition.

Why not take them both if you can get them. Beatty was a very highly rated recruit and would have to sit out a year with 3 years of eligibility left. Thompson will graduate and Dowtin will be a senior when he is ready, so Cox will likely be recruiting another guard next year .. With Beatty he will have one already who has year to get used to URI and system. Of course thats if Cox thinks they are both worthy and could use both. My guess is these 2 guys would both be very good gets

I like Beatty's comment about Fatts years ago:

"I watched that man do amazing things all year,” Beatty said. “I guard that man in practice, fastest guy in the world. I'm used to seeing it. I expect nothing less than for him to go off every game, so he’s going to be great in Rhode Island, he’s going to be great in college and he's going to be a great player.”

He played his Jr year at St. Benedicts and his Sr year at Imhotep. Only one each at both of those schools. He is from Philly. He didnt like living away from home (NJ) so came back to play at Imhotep. He played on a different AAU team than Fatts. Imhotep was ranked #5 in the coutry with Fatts and Beatty as the stars.

agressive to the hoop for his height, follows through on shots (who even does that anymore!) I think he'd be a good fit... did see an article that mentioned coach at SC criticized him for his lack on D though. Not a bad holdover for when Dowtin/Thompson are Seniors about to move on, he'll be in a stacked sophomore class.

Beatty’s stats are unimpressive. Great HS player doesn’t seemed to have translated. I don’t think we need two guards, we need another 3-5 with that last scholly. I believe they will close the deal on Omar.

My bad, I keep thinking CT will be a senior this year, but he has 2 years of eligibility left. But still may be worth both.

IMHOTEP was Philly city champs their senior years also, by far best team in Philly area

idk, so many times I've seen on so many levels, transcending different sports even, where one guy doesn't work for one system, explodes in a completely different environment.

This kid, four star recruit, highly lauded by the South Carolina coach, then can't get off the bench. Sounds a lot like Hurley. My guess is Cox is going to be a much looser kind of coach, which sometimes allows players to be themselves more and you might get more out of the players and their natural abilities that way, because they aren't a square peg in a round hole kind of system.

Think the Seattle Seahawks here with Pete Carroll. I could be wrong and way off, but that's my best guess, you probably know a lot better than me.

Not to mention, this is the A-10, that's got to figure into his progression.

Langevine, Harris, Tate, Akele, hopefully Laysaard or Tertsea become at least serviceable also and Martin is 6-7 and certainly can play the 3. I hope there will be a bit of a log jam up front for a change. And trying to find any good players this time of year is not easy, especially a front court player. Cox obviously knows what he wants for a roster make up and what type of players he wants, so I will trust whatever he decides to do. At least 1 would be nice though.

Not sure I would judge any player on stats. He chose SC coming off a final 4 and also considered high level school in Indiana, Georgetown, Maryland and even considered URI even though only briefly. I would trust these types of schools evaluations over looking at someones stats.

This is from 5 months ago. He's #0. Looks the part. His passes are crisp, he hits that 3 pointer early in the practice vid. Sounds like he was in the coach's doghouse, to be honest. The coach was saying he was the highest rated player the Gamecocks recruited in several years, a year ago.

We have 3 incoming freshman that are all 6'-6" and bigger. Tate looks the size of Langevine, Harris is a beast.. I think an additional quick small guard would round that out well. Remember we will have another 2 scholarships to fill out for '19.

Good part of Imhotep game vs Monteverde (RJ Barrett). Imhotep breaks Monteverde’s 55 game home winning streak. Barrett with 16. Imhotep - Scott (Soph #24) 17, Fatts 12 & Beatty 10. Beatty wouldnt take an outside shot. Scott (6-7 SF) is a ‘19 ranked #141 by Rivals.

Beatty averaged 12 minutes/game (not bad as a Fr). He shot poorly - 25% FG and 19% from three. Avg 3 ppg.
Fatts avveraged 18 minutes/game. 35% FG and 30% from three. Avg 7 ppg.

Stan had a pretty good Fr year (45% FG, 6.4 ppg, 17 mins/game) and then struggled his Soph year before transferring
KI struggled his Fr year at Memphis.

You have to believe Coach Cox saw a lot of Beatty while he was recruiting Fatts.....I will trust his judgement on the player.....either recruiting him or not based on our needs and his skill set....

We originally had Amir Harris and Brendan Adams, both guards and people were ecstatic.

Now, we may be getting two new guards yet people don’t want two more....

This has to be two guards, how many bigs can we have? We currently have 6 front court players and 7 really if Tate is going to play the undersized four spot. Let’s come back to reality and realize guards are needed.

Yes thanks, we need good ball skilled guards, there are plenty of minutes for two more impact front court players, Martin, Tate and Harris will spend most of their time at the 3, 4, and 5. It would be just perfect if we could get Beatty and Silverio, class of '21 would be pretty talented.

I think getting Silverio and a grad transfer that can light it up from deep would be the way to go....right now at least.

Graduating 5 at a time can be a little challenging when it comes to replacing them all at once.

You want to balance out the classes as best you can imo.
