Re: '18 MD PF Jermaine Harris (URI Commit)

Also imagine a super class, probably Rhody's best ever all committed by early October? We had so many years of looking for guys in April or May .
I was thinking about '19. If we sign Adams, we'll only have 1 scholly for '19. We can zero in on 6 or 7 highly rated players knowing only 1 can commit. Shoot for the moon with that 1 scholly in '19.bigappy leram wrote:Gio, I was saying that same thing to someone, it's unheard of. A great class, and all signed before the season starts. Now staff can use that and another season of on-court success to be laser focused with our needs from 2019 class. And shoot for the stars, take some risks.

Can you imagine? Totally transforming from having the best back court to possibly the best front court and still having plenty of guard talent.bigappleram wrote:Cyril and Jermaine oh my.
If Tertsea at 6'10 could evolve into A10 quality as an upperclassmen we would have a scary front line.

That's because Dan has built a program like none the school has ever seen. That's the only way to sustain success and that's why he has fought so hard for better facilities, charter flights and more staff. Because you need all of that to get better players.RF1 wrote:It would seem that Dan and staff are building off the momentum of the A-10 tournament championship and NCAA run. That success is not being wasted but looks to have been leveraged to our advantage. That was missing in the 1988 and 1998 NCAA runs and the opening of the Ryan Center. Those successes were not adequately built upon when the fire was hot. They ultimately ended up as wasted opportunities.

I'm sure they told him they were announcing at 2:00 and wanted him to time it with the announcement. But he just dropped it at 2:00 even though the announcement took a few more minutes. Seems like it would have been cool of him to wait until the announcement was made to publish.URIRecruitingInfo wrote:TruePoint wrote:These analysts are always stepping all over these kids' moment.

I believe he released it at 2:11. They could have told him to release after he saw the announcement on the live stream but they didn’t. Not his issue. It was coach’s mistake.TruePoint wrote:I'm sure they told him they were announcing at 2:00 and wanted him to time it with the announcement.

If he chose Xavier he'd be thick as a brick!Da_Process_Survivor wrote:and Jermaine Harris selects.........Jethro Tull!

This really doesn't matter at all at this point. Not sure why we are still talking about it.
I agree. He can blame whoever he wants but he released it and the world saw it earlier than they really should have.TruePoint wrote:Uh ok, man.

That's why I said in another thread that I hope we get a shot at playing Xavier in the tourney this season. Talk about obnoxious fans!steveystuds06 wrote:
I can't stop watching this!!! I wish we could see all the comments from Xavier fans talking crap about our program. That was the best part.
I'm pretty sure URI cut that and sent it to him as part of their pitch. The LeBron one was Xavier's, you could see their logo in the lower left hand corner...bigappleram wrote:So my question is...when did he make his decision to have enough time to cut that Lamar Odom / URI / highlight reel? That wasn't anything you could throw together in a few hours.
Tom Moore ? don't count your chickens until the eggs are hatched, he has not proved anything thus far. He doesn't have one player on the current roster, or any player in the forseable future. Let David have his day without mentioning someone who has not proved anything for Rhody.Da_Process_Survivor wrote:scary thought....got one of the, if not the best recruiting classes in school history and Tom Moore isnt even fully on the trail yet.DC_Rams wrote:Not sure why you would’ve been lukewarm on him.

Honestly, I was lukewarm on hi a cpl years ago but dude has been killing it the past two years!
Imagine where this can go if the trio of Cox, Moore and Dan stay together.
Moore hasn't been here long enough to have recruited '18s. The only possibilities were players that were being recruited to Q like Balanc. I'm sure he's in on some good '19s and '20s. No one is taking anything away from what Coach Cox has done. We all know he has done a phenomenal job.Rhodymadness401 wrote:Tom Moore ? don't count your chickens until the eggs are hatched, he has not proved anything thus far.

Damn 4 post dude. I think you should take a look at what Tom Moore did at UConn. Just might settle you down a bit. When did Tom join? In June?Rhodymadness401 wrote:Tom Moore ? don't count your chickens until the eggs are hatched, he has not proved anything thus far.

You don't build recruiting relationships in less than 4 months. I guarantee you Dan had him on '19s and '20s once he started recruiting, except for someone who he already had a relationship with like Balanc. You have a personal problem with Moore or something? Geesh...Rhodymadness401 wrote:Hey you opened the door, I just walked in, what has he done at RHODY, anyone can live off the past. What have you done for me lately
