Oh, I like her. That last entry is great.

Great articles.

Interesting that the 1st 4 questions are academic related:
•What academic support do you have in place?
•How often does the coaching staff meet to discuss each player’s academic profile and standings?
•What is the coach to player ratio for academic and personal accountability for the player?
•What’s the teams graduation rate?

I hope she knows the academic support people got rings just like the players and coaches. They are part of the TEAM.

Now, let’s keep the buzz strong for our final piece!

Only 2 days to go ....

I know Brendan is announcing Sunday, what time?

Hurley has said he always loves when the parents are involved. He's great with parents on the home visits.
I was confident with Harris; very confident with Adams.

Mom's twitter. We might need this.

Anyone else notice Hurley tweeting today? Right after Harris committed.

"Good Start to the weekend"


Perhaps he has reason to expect some more good news at the end of the weekend?

My initial thoughts as well, loved the tweet.

If we land Brendan, do we go to top 20 recruiting class?

We now know for sure UMASS is out with Tre Wood committing there

Yes

Still confident we land Brendan on Sunday?

Someone needs to let her know that the entire team jumped to their feet to applaud when the 2 bball team academic advisers were announced when the A10 championship rings were being awarded at Appreciation Night a couple of weeks ago. The love for the advisers was very noticeable by all in attendance.

I have a feeling that Dan and others covered the great relationship the players and coaching staff have with the academic staff.
Adams was on campus = we got him.
Coffee is for closers and we have closers!

With UMASS apparently now out which schools are thought to be our main competition?

Georgia

Those crystal ball predictions are bogus. Some guy just selected Brendan to pick Cincy. He just added his pick today based off a pick that was given back in February.

Maybe Jermaine can meet up with Brendan this weekend and give him the winning Rhody hat. Jk
Hopefully, Jermaine has joined Dana and Tyrese on the recruiting trail by messaging Brendan to join them.

Little over 24 hours!!!

Very

I'd be shocked if we don't get Adams at this point.

nm

Any time mentioned for Adams announcement tomorrow?

seeing how involved his parents are, I don't see him doing a big announcement like Harris, I expect a post on twitter with national media guys also tweeting about it

Georgia got a verbal from Landers Nolley today. They have one scholarship left.

Not sure if an exact time has been reported yet but 247 sports is showing noon tomorrow.

Come on BA complete this class baby !!!

One "expert" has changed his pick from Cincy to Rhode Island..

Chris Fisher now has Adams picking URI as of 7:42am EDT this Sunday morning

Well, that's not good....

Let's land our last guy to complete this superb recruiting class! Cannot wait for November 10th

Thoughts from what I’m hearing is “why wouldn’t he...” ballsy, but right now we can be lol

At this point I would be very surprised if he doesn't pick us.

This might seem anti-climactic after Jermaine's commitment. But this is a big one too. Let's get pumped! Let's gooooooooooo!!!

I want Adams (assuming Hurley still does). BUT if he doesn't pick us i won't feel like it's much of a hit.

We already have a terrific on paper class for 18. Adams would take our last scholly.

I was debating this with some friends/family and my father tried to argue he would prefer we not get Adams. The idea being it keeps open a scholly we may find ourselves wishing we had. So many good 5th year seniors, more regular transfer then ever, not to mention JT like situations...


Personally, i think staff is well aware of the advantages of keeping open that last scholly. If Adams signs with us its means they feel he is a guy they want badly as they would pull the offer otherwise.

Adams is and has been our top guard target.

I trust this staff and if they want him I want him.

At this point, he has to know this is the best situation for him of his options.

He has been really quiet on his Twitter. I appreciate what seems to be humility.

He's our #1 recruit at the guard position. He's being recruited by schools at a much higher level than his brother. That's all I need to know.

URI would be crazy to pull its scholarship offer to Adams. I hope he commits today. We can all debate plan B if he does not.

I can't figure out what the discussion above me is all about but if you're questioning whether you/we want this guy, the answer is hell yes. All-league potential player, can play along side the other guards already on the roster and in this class, and could be as good or better than all of them. Would be a huge pickup for URI, and if the last month or so played out a little differently people here would be absolutely giddy about possibility of getting this guy this morning.

Come on home, Brendan.

Update from mom.

Ugh, more waiting.

All 3 predictors on 247 Picking Rhode Island as one just switched to URI.

Noooooooooo...........

On a side note checking who he follows is; dana Tate, bill Koch, Rhody fanpages

This sounds like it might be a lot closer than we think.

It’s not, we are better than all his options. I think we win out in all the categories listed.

10 was the same jersey JHarris had on. Also it is Cyril’s number. Maybe the have extra 10s around that didn’t fit Cyril.
