I agree. I hope Harris stays at URI also. I have a soft spot for him ever since that day he picked URI over Xavier. He may never be a first team A-10 player, but he works hard on defense and started to improve his offense. I think he has had many different injuries that have slowed him down. He would be a starter with 20-22 minutes a gameThe Dude wrote: ↑4 years ago I hope Harris stays. In my opinion, if I had to take a decent guess, I'd say this is what players like Harris are probably having a hard time understanding about this fan base:
We see he's struggled a bit and we point his flaws because we had high hopes for him & still do. I feel like we're a "tough love" type of group. In my opinion, his struggles seem to be a mental thing. I think he has talent. He could use to improve his cardio fitness, so he can be on the court more without getting exhausted after 5 minutes.
I think what Harris and players need to understand is that we're one big dysfunctional family that is passionate about Rhody basketball. We're critical of how players are developing because we want to see them do well and make the NCAA Tournament. We're also rabidly supportive of loyal players who have a never say die attitude when they are on the court and bleed Keaney blue through & through despite some talent/performance shortcomings. Cyril wasn't a prototypical center, but he worked hard, honed his skills, & never took a play off. He fought for every inch. I mean, we kept thinking he had butter fingers on easy passes in the lane up until his senior year, yet we still loved him for his commitment & determination to persevere, in my opinion.
Did TJ score 20+ points a night? Nope, but we love & have an eternal respect fo him for his attitude and fight.
Did Xavier Munford take us to the NCAA Tournament? Nope, but he laid the groundwork for the program and always gave it his all when he was on the floor. He competed. Every play.
I know some may have cringed a bit when Harris drove to the lane a couple times against Dayton (I think it was that game), but I was super happy when he did it. I was not only happy to see him competing a bit harder, but also I was happy for him because to me it showed he was beginning to change his mentality from one of a bystander to one of a competitor and he seemed to have made up his mind to just "F" it, in some respect, and just start taking it to the opposition. He was committed. He was determined. He was fighting back.

Re: Jermaine Harris
I felt the same way that DC did when I saw the IG posts. Sure seemed to me like he was saying that he didn’t know if he was returning or not. It wasn’t just one post but in many.
I for one like him and saw a big improvement. I look forward to seeing him nest season and hope his is with us.

There is a 10 page thread on here with posts bashing the kid all season long. Now we're demanding decency and respect in return?

Re: Jermaine Harris
If I recall correctly that 10 page thread which is now thankfully locked, was mainly 2 or 3 posters bashing Harris’ game and many more defending Harris and/or bashing the posters for insulting Harris.adam914 wrote: ↑4 years agoThere is a 10 page thread on here with posts bashing the kid all season long.

I for one love Harris’ game and hope he’s here 2 more years. I want more hook shots from him.

I want a PF who can lead us to the NCAA tournament. I haven't seen that in Harris's play for 2 seasons. I have no reason to believe that he is anything but a great kid. He is here on scholarship for URI's basketball success.

Would it shock anyone if the transfer rule passes, he leaves. Probably doesn't want to sit a year and wants to be a starter. Mitchell's are coming to play. They want to be on floor together.. who loses in that scenario

Has Jermaine ever played more than 20 minutes in a game, for whatever reasons?
There's still plenty of minutes for him to share with the Mitchell twins.

Re: Jermaine Harris
I don’t see Harris leaving and if he does I think it’s a reflection of his compete level.
He’s not going to move to a P5 for more minutes/big opportunity based on his performance the first two years here. Harris would also likely face a bigger logjam for minutes than he would at URI if he goes P5.
I don’t see Harris leaving to make a lateral or lower conference move.
I feel like this is more about Harris reconciling the fact that for the first time his starting job is being challenged at URI.

Harris is seriously strong. He has serious lateral quickness. Hedges hard on screens. Awesome free throw shooter. Ok finishing on the move to the basket.
His problem is Maturity. Guess what usually helps that problem? Another year. He’s got two.

I follow our players because I support this team and this program. They post a lot of great things behind the scenes. When a player responds twice to people asking if he is staying we have every right to wonder what the deal is.

Speaking of Tyrese smoking hookah, he’s been on IG live doing that with Jeff and Fatts the last two nights.
Tyrese was openly recruiting / laughing while trying to convince Fatts to come to UConn next year saying, “come on man, we still got one more scholarship.”

Nope, never called the University, so I wasn’t quite a helicopter parent. Once they headed to college they were all set, if they wanted their tuition paid there was certain rules as to grades, but they were on their own to get them or not.
Somehow, they made it despite me!

That’s why I get really concerned when I see folks really beating up on some of our players here. For some of these guys, basketball is their motivation. For some it may be their way to success, and I don’t mean the NBA, but a college degree and a good career post grad.
Of course I want to win games as much as the next fan, but I also want our players to have a good college experience, learn in the classroom, in the locker room from good coaches like Cox, and on the court.

We’ll agree to each do our own thing on this subject: no harm, no foul. I do enjoy most of the subjects in this forum. I especially enjoy when posters inject some humor. This is all supposed to be entertainment and a diversion from our daily lives. Whoever stated that Aris’ last name translated to the Greek god of fouls had the all time post, in my book.

Consider just 5 months ago URI @ Maryland.

He’s not going to move to a P5 for more minutes/big opportunity based on his performance the first two years here. Harris would also likely face a bigger logjam for minutes than he would at URI if he goes P5.
I don’t see Harris leaving to make a lateral or lower conference move.
I feel like this is more about Harris reconciling the fact that for the first time his starting job is being challenged at URI.
Became eligible and would challenge him for minutes (for which I gave Harris props during his good 3/4 game stretch.)
Maybe competition is what he needs.
Makhi started played total 4 minutes committed 4 fouls
Makhel played total 6 minutes committed 3 fouls
Harris had the most FG, best FT%, most points, most rebounds tied, lowest TOs tied
Looking forward to Harris’ next 2 years here. I hope he doesn’t leave. And maybe tap the breaks on the Twins and Russell?
- Harris 21 min: 4-9 FG, 2-2 FT, 5 rebounds with 3 offensive, 1 TO, 4 Fouls, 10 points
- Tyrese Martin 21 min: 3-9 FG, 3-5 3P, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 Steal, 2 TO, 4 Gouls, 9 points
- Russell 40 min: 1-8 FG, 2-4 FT, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 4 TO, 3 Fouls, 5 points
- Makhi Mitchell 4 min: 1-1 FG, 0 rebounds, 1 block, 1 TO, 4 Fouls, 2 points
- Makhel Mitchell 6 min: 0-0 FG, 3 rebounds, 1 Assist, 1 TO, 3 Fouls, 0 points

When u say maturity(basketball maturity?), I can't help but think of the correlation between that and the entire coaching staff.
Cox needs to "fix" his support coaches. What exactly is Carroll's jr qualifications to be a 2nd assistant. Compare him to Tom Moore when Hurley was here.

Cox needs to "fix" his support coaches. What exactly is Carroll's jr qualifications to be a 2nd assistant. Compare him to Tom Moore when Hurley was here.

Re: Jermaine Harris
I do mean maturity on the court. Things like consistency and fouls. I think Langevine took a lot of rebounds from Harris.
Idk if the assistant coaches could be better. They do have a lot of accomplishments under them. Look them up.

I wonder who was paying him more when he was here? Us? Or them?

Re: Jermaine Harris
Austin Carroll had several good Non-Conference scouts, namely the Alabama and West Virginia games. He seems like he has a good basketball mind and will develop with time.RamStock wrote: ↑4 years agoAgree on the support staff.

The tough part is having two first-time Assistants on the bench at the same time (Austin and TJ). One or the other would have been perfect, but I understand that Cox was somewhat limited in his options to hire new assistants last Summer.

Re: Jermaine Harris
They were only first-time assistants last year. I shared the concern about the staff for last season, but with last season behind I see no reason to change anything up. Both TJ and Carroll Jr are promising, in my opinion. And since the landscape is moving away from being able develop players, maybe developing assistant coaches can be a new market efficiency.

Re: Jermaine Harris
I believe that Ram Band hit on Rhody's biggest problem. Cox is coaching with very little support from a coaching staff. Did he have any say in the half the coaches? What does Sutton do? The only thing I've heard is that he brought in Aris and he shakes hands in the runway. Carrol the elder is at present useless and held up the looking for a replacement. Carroll the younger was one of only a few people that could meet the requirements as the job was writing and also willing to leave a coaching job at the last minute because of the long delay in posting the Rhody job. I believe TJ is going to be a good one but he is new with a limited recruiting area base. He is the only one that will improve with time.
Who is our big man coach? Who has connections with the present day New England/New York Prep and AAU scene? Who was a coaching choice of Cox or was he forced into his staff?

Carroll will start to bear fruit soon.
I love the young hungry guys.

Re: Jermaine Harris
Agree that Carroll and TJ have potential, but am concerned that we don't have a big man coach that can develop them.
Cyril never really learned how to make layups and put the ball on the floor too often, and JH has developed slower than hoped.
The twins and any additional big man recruits could use a solid teacher.
I think that's supposed to be Sutton's area of expertise, but haven't seen great results yet.

Re: Jermaine Harris
Personally, I don't think the Twins will cause Harris to lose minutes. I think he'll still get plenty at the PF spot instead of the center spot. Most of last year's starters played a lot of minutes last year and it was likely a bit too many in my opinion (not in Harris's case though). I think there is plenty of room for a 10 guy rotation where 5 players get 25 minutes a game and another 5 get 12 - 18 and a couple other young guys get 3 - 5 minutes a game.
I would hope that guys won't scrutinize their minutes if it means winning games & making the NCAA Tournament. Team first mentality is the way to go in my opinion. One or two guys won't win anything. It takes a full squad with great depth, like URI had when Terrel & Mathews, Jarvis, & Stan were here.

For clarification purposes, my comments about our coaching staff is primarily directed towards Austin Jr. filling a "senior" type of assistant coach.
Let's look at his record at Arizona, 2014, 2015 graduate assistant, promoted to assistant director of basketball operations in 2016. In charge of video etc.
In 2018-19 he was promoted to assistant coach in mid season when Mark Phelps was terminated for NCAA violations. During the period of time from when he started with Arizona until this promotion he was not offered an assistant coach's position even after there was turnover of 5 assistant coaches. Certainly the fact that Sean Miller was not promoting him along the way, must say something.
Then we hire him as assistant coach, surely as part of the Carroll Sr "settlement"
This is not a "heavyweight" coach that a top 50 team should have. Cox can't do it all. By the way ,Justin Gainey who left Arizona assistant coach position for Marquette was reportedly getting paid $290K.
