Where Are They Now? Former Player Results and News

[ace]

Scouts have had some positive things to say about Rese. He probably maxes out as a two-way player at best, but he is 23 and can help his family financially. It has been so much fun to watch him mature and succeed over the past two seasons. He really put things together, on and off the court. He plays so hard and is easy to root for.

Totally agree, he was a lot of fun to watch this season!

I’ll be surprised if he makes an NBA roster just because of his inconsistency at shooting the 3 but won’t shock me if he does make it

The man he became off the court is even more impressive. He needed the structure Hurley provides. Went from smoking hookah and breaking quarantine rules with Fatts on IG, to maturing into an upstanding young man.

Awesome to see. Happy his play reflected that as well.

Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. Been around a while. Invite only to seniors to play and showcase their game for NBA and European teams.

Once again congratulations to all the haters/ignorgamuses who chased Fatts off ! We can only pray that Archie can recruit players of this calibre . GO FATTS !!!!!

While I share your Fatts fandom, I’m guessing people on here didn’t “chase Fatts off.” Fans weren’t the reason for him leaving in my opinion.

He stayed after Hurley left and completed his four years here, which under normal circumstances that would’ve been the end for his career.

He gave this program everything, and just wanted a chance at the NCAA tourney at a bigger, more established program.

Good for Fatts but those projected to get drafted do not play in this.

Oh absolutely, I know that.

Still will be nice to get in front of NBA, G League, and Euro scouts.

Wouldn’t be surprised at all if he eventually gets a couple 10 day contracts and a taste of the NBA.

Falcon,
I recalled Fatts when he left wanting to have a shot to be in the NCAA Tournament.
Sounds like you are saying he would have preferred to have stayed here on this years team?
No chance he would have led this years Rhody team to the NCAA, never mind deep into the NCAA.

Here’s what he told the Philly Inquirer and others:

"What I wanted was to come in and have a chance to compete for a Final Four, Elite Eight, national championship type of team," Russell says.

Reading this end of season story sounds like Russell loved his decision to go to Maryland. Nice comments about David Cox joining Maryland as well.

Good luck in Portsmouth Fatts !!

[Falcon]

After all he did for URI over his 4 years here and his classic Tre Young NCAA move plus his 2 orchestrated wins against pc , and Many other exciting " This is my house " moments , supposedly some of his malcontent teammates had issues with him , probably jealousy . You guess who ? Add to this the fact that he had an awful bench coach and I can understand why he decided to leave for a potentially better opportunity and was very HAPPY for him . Unfortunately Maryland imploded ! However he gave URI his All despite an injury plagued 4th year and was loyal to a fault to us while 3 other notables were not , Martin , Toppin , Long . Despite all of that he received VERY little LOVE from this forum esp. his last year here . I will always wish him all the BEST !!!!

Don't blame fans on this board. Blame Cox. He is the one who took Dowtin off the point in favor of Fatts. Worst coaching decision I've seen. It hurt Dowtin, Fatts and Cox.

Oh please. One of the biggest flaws in Cox' coaching was letting Fatts do whatever the hell he wanted to the detriment of the entire team. Fatts isn't some kind of martyr who got screwed over here

I believe Jimmy Baron still holds the all time tournament record for threes in a game with 9 and also the tournament record for threes.

Yep! 9 for a game and 16 for the tournament are records. I had thought it was 16 in a game, as I said earlier in the thread. Was wrong, but funny how ya misremember things after 10+ years.

[Jdrums#3]

Boy, Jimmy could stroke it. Off the top of my head, the best 3 college deep jump shooters I’ve seen - in no particular order - Jimmy, Curry, Hassett.

Those 3 jump out at me. Not just as shooters, but deep (20 feet plus) jump shooters. I’m sure there are others I just can’t recall at the moment…maybe Danny Ainge? I saw him play in the NCAA’s in Providence in person and he was impressive. Coming down 1 on 3 on the break, pulling up from twenty five feet and burying it. Ainge was impressive.

[rhodyrudder]

Joey Hassett? nk…

Wondering why they said fatts went from Big 12 to big 10…

But Hassett was a wimp. He wouldn't go anywhere near the basket...Soft. Can I put Larry Bird on that list?

[reef]

Would love for us to find that next Jimmy Baron type shooter

I’d put JJ Reddick on that list also

Sorrentine had no conscience at Vermont. If he was physically inside the gym he was in range.

you had me checking the record book , and was surprised to discover something- so—for a semi valuable prize, who was the 3 pt shooter who played for us and had more career threes than Seth curry?

[McRam]

No on Mobley and Fox. Maybe I’ll upgrade the prize?

[Brian]

Akeem Richmond

[PeterRamTime]

Akeem Richmond

That was my guess

But would that count since he only played here two years?

If Akeem Richmond ain't it its EC Matthews

[theblueram]

The URI record is Jimmy Baron. So I surmise it's him.

[Billyboy78]

Jimmy is the only URI player who had more than Seth

Hey Reef, Reddick is a good one. I forgot about him. Maybe Ray Allen too?

Another good one. I saw him play once. It was the tourney game against Syracuse (?).

Who was the player at Holy Cross - played in the late 70’s or maybe early 80’s? Ron Perry? I can’t remember what years he played. He was another excellent long range sniper.

Bird, Reggie Miller, too. Can’t believe I forgot them though I really didn’t see either one play much while they were in college other than in the NCAA Tourney.

Akeem Richmond

Brian wins the not so valuable prize. Free admission to the first open practice! Congratulations.

Akeem had a career of 416 to curry’s 414. Curry had a shooting percentage of 41% and Akeem with a not so bad 38%


I would say this is true trivia

Hey Reef, Reddick is a good one. I forgot about him. Maybe Ray Allen too?

If it’s just the college game I wouldn’t put Ray on the list he had a really good mid range game @ UConn could score at all 3 levels

Steph Curry, JJ Reddick, Jimmy Baron, Chris Lofton (Tennessee) and Fletcher McGee are the best college shooters I can remember.

There have been a lot of great ones, but those guys stand out because they hit them from everywhere on the court

Like some people would say Doug McDermott was better than Jimmy because of his percentages, but McDermott wasn't 6'3, unathletic and shooting like every shot from the logo.

[bigappleram]

Jimmer Fredette. JJ Redick. Chris Jackson. Jimmy Baron.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

The only guy I ever saw who had more range than Jimmy Baron was Dennis Scott of Georgia Tech. He had the range of an ICBM.

[adam914]

Smart move by Jacob to go through the Draft process and get some feedback. No downside to testing the waters really.
