Jordan Hare's Roster Status: Back Out Again

Rhody74 · Unread post by **Rhody74** » 10 years ago

I like how he credits Dan and the team for staying in touch and encouraging him. If he truly bailed on the team, as some have alleged, they would have ignored him.

Good to have Jordan back! Would love to hear the old NBA Jam phrase "boom-shakka lakka" be used once….just once after he throws a dunk down next year. I think I would die laughing. Our announcer should take some pointers from that game…haha…joking.
(Side Note: Posted pictures of my work under The Rams Den, Down The Line thread. Sincere thanks to people for their compliments and encouragement!)

Jordan seems to be really focused and mentally ready. We have three jumping jacks in Hare, Hassan and Watson. I can't wait for the "BLOCK" Party.

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

I get the idea this is a kid who values his second chance and will work at it.

Looks that way. Hope so.

Loved reading this interview. Encouraging all around, from the way that his absence was handled by the coaching staff and team, to hearing how determined he is to be back and be the best that he can be.

Think he ever read this board while he was away?? "The past couple of seasons we’ve always had a team with great talent but not everybody could suit up [for various reasons]. I don’t want to be another one of those players that makes people say ‘“Well, if Jordan Hare was playing, this and this would happen…”’

" I don’t want to be another one of those players that makes people say ‘“Well, if Jordan Hare was playing, this and this would happen…”’
So he doesn't think that was a question asked last season?

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

I took it to mean that he was aware of the question being asked last year, and didn't want it to happen again.

Agree with you 100% sf. As usual Rod kind of puts a negative spin on most everything.

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

READ the comment he made. Spin that!

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

I certainly can spin it

direct quotes can always be spun, and words are tricky sometimes. Often it is better to take the spirit of what someone is saying rather than the exact words. I think that Jordan meant, 'I don't want to be remembered for being the guy that made people think, what if?' In his statement he included himself among other teammates who were unable to suit up for one reason or another. He is well aware of the fact that he did not play last year, and that people wondered what could have been if he had played.

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

I can buy that. You can't hear inflection in the printed word.

Rhody74 · Unread post by **Rhody74** » 10 years ago

I don't care what the spin is as long as his actions match his words. It does sound like he's grown up a lot, and as long as he's comfortable with his daughter's situation, I'm optimistic we'll see a new and improved Hare.

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

He could be a HUGE addition to next year's team, good luck Jordan!! Notice I said "could", before those with doubts come a calling. Still has to get into game shape, hopefully with some added muscle and then shake off a ton of rust.

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

I don't get this vague antipathy aimed at this kid. A lot of students take a year off for personal reasons. We're not his employer. I'm glad he is back.

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

Everybody knows he could make a huge difference, that's why some lamented on 'what if'. I'm not so convinced people were that negative about Hare's absence, some just wanted to think 'what if' and others just wanted to concentrate on the players available. Jordan pretty much acknowledged the things many were concerned about, with the support of DiSano's good reporting. It show's Hare to be thoughtful and empathetic towards people's perceived (right or wrong) reservations. These are the words that precede what I thought of as the best possible scenario for Jordan's return. I don't think anyone ever questioned his abilities, with a real basketball rededication Hare's return could have as much impact as any recruit. I'm looking forward to a team with a full complement of good front court players.

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

I still say get him up to Hope Dining Hall, eat 5 or 6 of those burgers, then head straight to the weight room. I should be a trainer.

Nice to hear! I'm really expecting him to work hard this year.

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

Great news that Hare has shown up on campus. Best of luck to him going through the summer sessions, gotta do that work in the classroom to be able to do work on the court this fall!

Anybody know about the summer plans of any of our other athletes? Most doing summer sessions, or are they at home?

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

They are there for both summer sessions which go through end of July. Garrett and Terrell won't be on campus until the second summer session. Everyone goes home for the month of August

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

Jordan looks really tall...

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

Yeah he does!

What are the rules regarding summer workouts? How often, how many players at a time, etc?

Rhody74 · Unread post by **Rhody74** » 10 years ago

Who is #44? I thought it might be Watson, but the roster on GoRhody.com says his number is 33. Iffy's is 14. Whoever it is looks like he's hit the weights.

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

Looks like Iffy to me, number change? Or perhaps summer numbers don't really mean anything...

Rhody74 · Unread post by **Rhody74** » 10 years ago

You're probably right that the numbers don't mean anything ....

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

I believe that by wearing #44 ,Iffy is channelling his inner Pete Maravich.

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

If Iffy ends up with Maravich's usage rate this year, something will have gone horribly wrong.

brady1 · Unread post by **brady1** » 10 years ago

Happy to have Hare back. The kid was a top 100 recruit with I think offers from Michigan and Michigan ST. Being on the slender side the strength of the kids he went up against his frosh year made it an adjustment year for him. I think Hare is now capable of big things at URI.

GO RHODY!

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

He look tall because he is. That is the difference between 6-7 an 6-10. We had no one on the roster above 6-8 last year an I don't know how many of those 6-8s were legit. Honestly as much as I am pumped for the recruiting class I can't believe there is not another big body at the end of the bench for the last scholly.

Good to see.

That is the definition of a scary offseason thread bump, though.

Apologies for not knowing this.. Is it confirmed that Jordan can play in November for us ?

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 9 years ago

Nice when a 6'10" guy can win an agility drill. It looks like he's putting the work in. Keep that up and we could have a very good player here.

Tom98 · Unread post by **Tom98** » 9 years ago

I definitely think he will be a huge asset for us down the stretch of the season

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 9 years ago

ECR, I think that is still TBD. Whether he can play right away or if he has to sit first semester, I believe if he does the first game he would be eligible is for PC.

Blue Man · Unread post by **Blue Man** » 9 years ago

Can't see why a full season red shirt would force him to not play a semester...assuming he gets his academics in order, which I would have to believe will be all set.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

It's the academic, not anything else that may keep him
out of the first semester.
Why would academics be "all set"? He missed a lot of time,
and I doubt he took a full course load online.

rhodyrob · Unread post by **rhodyrob** » 9 years ago

Credits from the Summer classes he is taking now will count for the required number of credits needed. They will count if he is short any from last year.

I was figuring a combination of on-line and summer courses - that and Dan's classroom expectations.

I would expect with a hardship waiver (which they really are giving out like candy these days) he wouldn't be penalized for the year he missed while he was attending to family matters. With his coursework up to date from the time he left, I'd think he'd be on track.

No more waivers by NCAA.
