Re: '16 DC PG Jeff Dowtin (Offer)
Well, at least we know he models his game after Steph Curry….which is not a bad thing for a 6'4" guard.

This is awesome. The '16 class is done before official practices even start.

For this recruiting cycle, they've beat out teams from higher conferences, conference opponents, mid-major types with tremendous sustained success, and schools close to players' homes. Four for five- relentless and efficient.
The Royals have clinched their division, the Bengals are 2-0, Rhody has filled all known open roster spots- Dan's having a pretty good sports/work month.

Re: '16 DC PG Jeff Dowtin (URI Verbal)
After visiting Wichita State and George Mason, Dowtin spoke on the vibe that he got from the A10 program that made it feel like home during his official visit this past weekend. “The coaching staff and players have such a close bond and great chemistry with each other.”

Gotta say, this has been a very impressive couple of weeks.
Imagine the entire recruiting cycle wrapped up before October.
Good get today.
Onward and upward! GO,RHODY!

Re: '16 DC PG Jeff Dowtin (URI Verbal)
I do find it interesting that Jon Rothstein has been mum on tweeting URI recruiting news lately. Perhaps these Sunday announcements are conflicting with his culinary pit stops that are OTC!
He did announce Duke's latest today. hmmmm curious and curiouser.
Back to Jeff... didn't want to get side-tracked. Just something I have noticed lately. He always used to announce URI commitments, even if he was slower than most.
(Note that there are plenty of commitment announcements he doesn't tweet about but he definitely doesn't tweet as much as he used to with regards to players announcing)

Re: '16 DC PG Jeff Dowtin (URI Verbal)
Very true. I cannot recall a comparable recruiting period like this ever. Truly exceptional job by URI Basketball. Dayton, Richmond, UMASS, VCU, Davidson, LaSalle, etc have simply got to be viewing the URI Basketball Program with awe.bressler3south wrote:An amazing way to cap a wonderful three weeks!

I feel like pieces are falling into place for a string of NCAA tournament appearances. Hope we can stay healthy this year and get it started. Welcome to all the new recruits!

If Umass beats out Miami for the La. tandem I imagine they will be pleased.
Thank the pope that DH finally started paying attention to keaneyblue for recruiting strategy. Now things are looking up!
4 guys we would have lost our minds over 5 years ago all commited before october.

Re: '16 DC PG Jeff Dowtin (URI Verbal)
OMG this is getting to be scary. It sounds like anyone who visits just has to be a part of this program going forward because the coaches and players are so tight. It sounds like we are going to have a tight knit unit. I hope when the games start and players are battling for minutes it remains this tight. Team chemistry is almost as important as talent level. and it looks like the talent level is far above anything seen at URI this century.

It seems to me Dan is only targeting recruits that can play defense. If you don't have an interest and focus on defense, Rhody is not the place for you. I love that.
