Adam Zagoria reporting the URI has reached out to Pitt transfer Femi Odukale.

. So nice we r interested in a 6’5” guard .

[Rhody15]

Very productive at Pitt, competing with a bunch of P6 teams for him.

Would a huge get, equivalent I’d say to Dayton getting Camara from Georgia.

[Jersey77]

[bigappleram]

They already have Kadary Richmond who seems like basically the same player.

[Ramfan22]

Kentucky, wow

[SGreenwell]

Ah, missed this thread the other day - I'll do a proper profile later today or tomorrow. (Assuming he doesn't sign somewhere else in the meantime.)

I like how Rhody vault interviews these teams beat writers about these kids , good info gleaned

[PeterRamTime]

Dang more competition...

Can we just land somebody already!? My body is ready

Please

Maybe y’all forgot but this is going to be the norm if you want to land top A10 talent. Archie isn’t trying to beat out Norfolk St like Cox was. We will need to beat out some great programs on a regular basis.

[Ramfan22]

[sevegny7]

Now this would really move the needle. Man I really like the recruits we are seeing visit with archie already. Any combo of the three we already know about would be a great start.

[Jersey77]

I was just getting ready to post, this is huge news.

Would love to get all 3.

[Rhody74]

Easter weekend? Campus will be empty.

What about all 4

[Rhody74]

Who’s the fourth, Tre?

Easter weekend? Campus will be empty.

The majority of transfers are not making their decisions based on campus life.

Odukale can start and get major minutes at URI. I don’t know enough about all of the other programs to know if that would be the case there. People can complain all they want about transfers, but it helps programs at all levels. Without it, Archie would be looking at a bench full of guys who had to sit out or who were ‘22 or JUCO reaches.

[Billyboy78]

Another with 3 years of eligibility because of the COVID year, right?

Yes

[steveystuds06]

Man, I view Femi as a high major player so I expected him to land at a Big East, Big 10 type program. If Archie gets this done I may need to stop saying it's gonna take a few years for us to compete near the top of the A10. This kid is a player and would be a monster in the A10.

Let's go Archie!!

[steveystuds06]

[Billyboy78]

Only question on him is his shooting. Although he did improve from the line from 49% as a frosh to 63% as a soph.

[SmartyBarrett]

What about all 4

Lander?

[Big Rhody Guy]

Not great from the line but we would have killed for a 33% 3 point shooter on the wing last year and I'll take it now too.

Would love to get all 3.

With Malik and if we were to get Femi I wonder if Durugordon would be out. The 3 of them seem like similar players.

[RhowdyRam02]

10.4 pts per game, 3.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists per game in the ACC games this past year, so not like he feasted on bad competition in the non-conference then faded when the competition got stiffer

How Femi is a PG (lead Pitt in ast last year) more worried about Diggins unless he ok with playing off the ball, Malik and Sean are both wings who slot in the 3/4 spot Femi would slide in at the 1, and would be a nightmare matchup for apposing A10 teams

I don't know much about Femi, have never seen him play, but just looking at the numbers I'm not sure the 33% tells the whole story. He only took a few 3's per game and hit 1 per game (30 total). Maybe his game changes if he comes here, but it doesn't seem like he is really a prolific 3 point shooter at this point.

[theblueram]

Let's close the deal Arch!!!!!

Yeah Femi is a really goood defender and rebounder. He can knock down the 3 but prefers to get down hill towards the rim. Very good first step quickness and good finisher with contact at the rim. He is more of a slasher. He also is pretty good stopping on a dime and using his mid range.

[reef]

Some good schools on his list fingers crossed we get Femi O

[NHRamFan]

I refuse to get excited until ECR tell me to - ECR, what say you? LOL

[79RhodyFan]

I take my cues from ECR too! Buckle Up! Have to love his optimism!

[RhowdyRam02]

People are taking their cues from ECR? God help us all!

[CamsRams]

I might move him off the ball. Looks like an off guard.

Malik is only going to be here for one season. I also think Durugordon is a different player than Femi. He’s a legit two-way wing that could possible play the 4 for us at times....Femi is more an off guard. It’s tough to find talented two-way wings. I love Malik, but Durugordon has way more upside. We definitely would want to land him and Femi

[reef]

Definitely room for all these guys if we can get them

[theblueram]

Any updates on his visit? I assume he is on campus already.

[Jdrums#3]

Yeah, that’s the ticket. Hahaha!

ECR is like to this board is like a patient with his heart stopped getting hit with the paddles. It’s a lazy Friday…where’s ECR??? I need a jolt because 72 has me down by asking (yesterday in the transfer carousel thread): do we have any players yet?

Don’t let 72 get you down he is a pessimist

[CamsRams]

Don’t think Femi has IG so can’t get a flavor of his visit.
