General Recruiting Discussion/Comments 2022 and before

[DevRam]

Seems very explosive for his size. Has good rebounding and point averages for limited minutes. Bring him in. Experience and size can’t be taught.

[DC_Rams]

Berry and the Twins....we will be set.

[sevegny7]

Berry and the Twins....we will be set.

Yeah I would love that. Think chances have to be good with that happening. And after everyone calling kingston on fire additions of abou berry and the twins would be exactly what the doctor ordered to bring the fans back on board.

If this scenario did play out I could see walker and toppin getting alot of minutes as a 3/4 and alot more minutes on the wing.

Fatts sheppard leggett wood berry as 1/2
DJ johnson walker toppin as 3
Walker toppin mitchel twins harris as 4
Mitchel twins and abou as 5

Make us a little longer and bigger team a la st louis this past year.

Are we the front runners on the twins?

I believe so

[Rhodymob05]

Any high school video makes a kid look good , Cole is making plays vs ACC OPPONENTS.

I believe so

Was there a connection with them and Coach Cox from their high school days?

Yes. But the perception was that they were only going P5.

[Seawrightspostgame]

Wow pulling the twins and them immediately available would be insane.

It would support my theory that our level will be ok in a immediate eligibility world. I rather have the Martins of the world transferring to P5 and legit NBA prospects transferring to URI because they want to dominate.

[Rhody74]

It looks like we’re interested in a 6-6 Juco Keon Ellis.

[Rhody74]

Along with about 30 other schools.

[Billyboy78]

As are many. Alabama has been on him for quite a while.

[Billyboy78]

9th ranked JUCO in the country...

[rhodyblue12]

I have one request - only recruit players that are good FT shooters.

[Rhody83]

So you would be ok with a bunch of 5’10” players

[rhodyblue12]

I loved Cyril, but that aspect of his game made him a burden at the end of games.
There is an opportunity to improve that aspect of our team.

[Rhodymob05]

It’s like finding Waldo with those graphics.

[giovanni]

Pikiell getting it done at Rutgers.

[RamStock]

Pikiell getting it done at Rutgers.

Getting it done big time

[reef]

What’s Big Cliff ranked top 50 ???

[Rhodymob05]

If the virus helped him commit, I’d hate to be Rutgers once everything goes back to normal.

[ramster]

Rutgers now ranked #21
Saint Louis #32
Providence #33
Richmond #35
Connecticut #39

[giovanni]

Marshall looks like he is slowly beginning to recoup

[SandorClegane]

Wow. Mitchell twins and Martin in one day. What a friggin day for URI recruitment.

[giovanni]

[Billyboy78]

I'm guessing we're out now since he's a 7'1" center.

[giovanni]

Yeah I was just surprised to see us mentioned must have been before. Just show you while people are complaining Coach Cox is working and always looking for players.

[wpbrown8267]

So with the recent commits of the twins, Abou, and Martin (And Berry is not commiting here anymore due to Martin)

Who are we pursuing the hardest? I guess my question to Rhody83 or DC Rams is who would you expect to fill the last spot?

Gage...Murray...another?

[Iggy1979]

Maybe Cox wants to keep a scholarship open. That often comes in handy. If not, my guess is Gage as Cox builds an experienced roster that can play elite D.

[DevRam]

I think there is a few factors. I like a guy like Mounir Hima who is 6’11” at center but will be a project. Likely redshirt. That will keep the height train going in the right direction and allow him to get practice with good bigs. However, if the transfer rule doesn’t pass, Malik would have to sit out so we would have to get Gage. Since time is the variable in all this I think it would likely be Hima.

[DevRam]

Also depends on what Fatts does.

Gage or save ship

[DeanDome88]

I am liking the current state of affairs. Hopefully the new transfer rule gets approved and we can keep this team mostly intact going forward. Find a stud guard for 2021.

They can’t save the scholarship.
They need someone who is immediately eligible. Either a Grad Transfer, JUCO or a Fr.
There is a chance that the three transfers have to sit the entire year if the proposed transfer rule doesn’t pass.
You can’t take another sit out transfer and risk starting the season with 9 scholarship players.

You almost want a Grad Transfer coming here with experience and is competent but at the same time has the understanding playing time may vary widely depending on the transfer situation. Really need a team first guy, maybe someone who excelled in a small conference and is fine just latching on to a better program.

I was thinking more big picture what they will need to add to the team in 2021 after Fatts and Sheppard are no longer on the team. I have no insight as to what Cox will do with the remaining scholarship. I am really happy with this roster. I am not a fan of small ball and we will not be playing it.

[Iggy1979]

Don’t think you can wait on Fatts. Go get another experienced guard

[reef]

I be ok with Gage

[Rhody19/21]

Anyone see Manhattans 6’7” Christian Hinckson is transferring, he shot 45% from 3pt. If Gage doesn’t work it’d be nice to have a knock down shooter.

[bkoeppen]

somebody looking for a shooter:

[bkoeppen]

[rhodyfan3000]

Hinckson is intriguing. Great shooter, and swiss army knife that comes off the bench and can play multiple positions.

Add to that the fact that he is best friends with Malik Martin.

[rambone 78]

You mean there are others on this board that actually think we could use another shooter?

Perish the thought lol!

And I thought I was the only one...…

#sarcasm

[rhodyfan3000]

I'm looking at the old Christian Hinckson recruiting thread from when Dan was coach. In some ways, this would be like getting a second shot at Bones Hyland, the kid obviously wanted to come here, at least when Dan was coach.

Surprised his list isn't better.

[Rhody83]

I heard last night from a source who has never sent me any recruiting info ever.
He said they are in the mix for a big time player should know more in the next day or so.

[rhodyfan3000]

April fools jokes are outlawed here in Rhody land ever since the Harrick flip-flop-flip, 83. Just fyi.

Ok, this post made me laugh. Good work and take my upvote.
