WE WANT YOU FEMI!!! LOOK AT ALL THESE OTHER PROGRAMS BRINGING IN OTHER GUARDS. COME TO RHODY!!!!!!
It was I don’t know why people freaking out this much, and besides their having that Clemson G on a official visit
Also, one other important date aside from the closure of the transfer portal on May 1; is the deadline for withdrawing from the NBA is June 1. The NBA combine is around the third week of May when those declaring for the NBA have their workouts, scrimmages and the important feedback from the coaches and scouts. You never know after the feedback, who might(eg Rhoden) make themselves available again for college BB
Again the portal doesn't close on May 1, that is just the deadline for those players who qualify for the no-sit rule.McRam wrote: ↑2 years agoAlso, one other important date aside from the closure of the transfer portal on May 1; is the deadline for withdrawing from the NBA is June 1.

What's the date when players can enter the portal after May 1 to qualify for the no-sit rule? May 2nd?Jersey77 wrote: ↑2 years agoAgain the portal doesn't close on May 1, that is just the deadline for those players who qualify for the no-sit rule.McRam wrote: ↑2 years agoAlso, one other important date aside from the closure of the transfer portal on May 1; is the deadline for withdrawing from the NBA is June 1.

Thanks. Did not know that. They get paid at PIT?
I dont think they do. It is more of draft process evaluator type thing. But alot of those players in the PIT were in the 3 on 3 tourney at the weekend of final four. And the winning team does make money from that.
I have no idea but if he does that makes me feel a lot better!
Yes he lives in Brooklyn
I have resorted to the fact that nobody on this board knows who or when we will get commitments as this staff is tight lipped. I am disappointed there has been a lack of activity versus other nearby teams but I trust Archie and will wait patiently . But , I do agree it would be nice to land someone soon!reckless jake wrote: ↑2 years ago I woke up this morning thinking today, Friday, just MIGHT be the day we get a committment! Maybe even two this afternoon!! Crazy, but possible? I hope so.
Go Rhody!!
Totally agree. I'm anxious..
I agree with both of you in terms of it is extremely aggravating to see programs especially PC and Bryant landing players while we have so many holes. I would prefer to build a program for the long term for sure, but also agree that anyone thinking we going to be at the top of the A-10 with the players we have now playing significant roles is crazy. There is still time and Archie will land guys for sure, but wondering if he has his sites more on 2023 and next year more of a transition year. I guess we will seesteveystuds06 wrote: ↑2 years agoTotally agree. I'm anxious..
I do like that we are going after some excellent players for the 2023 class. Archie said he wants to build a consistent program, not a one-year fix.
I know many people on here think we will instantly become a tournament team, but I expect us to be mid to bottom A10 team next year while picking up some key recruits for the following season.
I'd rather land some freshman who could become an EC, Hass, JT, and then fill my roster with transfers with 1-2 years left.
We'll see!
Bryant other than Walker maybe, maybe not. Not sure about Timberlake. But UMass and Frank Martin has crushed it so far, yes I think several will be impact players in the A10. They have five transfers from P6 programs Louisville, UConn, South Carolina and BC. UMass lucked out tremendously that Martin was fired (stupidly in my opinion) and that Schmidt turned the job down. So much for players not wanting to play for him, he is getting players at a school where no one cares about the basketball team. I like the Miller hire, but I agree with Rhody15 when he says that Martin is a bigger name on the national stage than Miller is. Not saying he is a better coach, but it is closer than many on this board think it is.steviep123 wrote: ↑2 years ago I haven't been paying too close attention to who Bryant signed, but if those players (other than Walker) signed here instead, would you consider them A10 level players and make us a contender?

I know it's not easy to see other local schools fill their roster while ours our barren, but filling just for the sake of filling them isn't any better.
Agreed - Martin is certainly killing it at UMass and may be a shorter term success more than Miller and I'll take Miller longer term. I think they were both excellent hires. Like I said, I didn't pay too much attention to who signed with UMass. My larger point is I'd rather be signing the right players vs. just signing someone to fill out a roster.4Diffs wrote: ↑2 years agoBryant other than Walker maybe, maybe not.

Martin reminds me a little of Harrick. He has a slick willy feeling. He got two players to come with him from S Carolina who were probably worried about staying there. He also got at least one player with only a year of eligibility. Archie isn’t interested in any one year (eligibility) transfers.4Diffs wrote: ↑2 years agoBryant other than Walker maybe, maybe not.

I would think he'd want a couple of one year guys. If not, and he has a 13 man roster this upcoming season, that only leaves one spot open for '23s, as Malik would be the only non-returnee (assuming there are no players on this year's roster who transfer out).Rhody83 wrote: ↑2 years agoMartin reminds me a little of Harrick.

Timberlake, who transferred from Memphis, was a top 40 recruit out of high school that similar to Jalen Carey has not produced up to his billing as of yet. If he was transferring to URI people on the board would be going crazy with excitement, but since he went to Bryant his failures were pointed out. In terms of Cramer from Hofstra, he was on the all freshman team and Edert, who performed on the big stage at St Peter’s, but didn’t by any means dominate in the season are good gets for Bryant’s level. Both guys could play at URI as I see no one on this team other than Freeman that has done anything of note on URI. I’m not saying we want them or that was the route Archie is going, but Bryant has also gotten a few other players and have had a successful off season for them. Agree on not just filling the roster to have 13 players, but I think that it is more that I just am not as big a fan as some with the returning players.steviep123 wrote: ↑2 years ago I haven't been paying too close attention to who Bryant signed, but if those players (other than Walker) signed here instead, would you consider them A10 level players and make us a contender?

I’m not sure I am comparing ourselves against PC, although up until last year everyone pointed out how Cooley and PC couldn’t win a tournament game, but UMASS, Bryant and other A-10 teams we should certainly be able to compare ourselves with. I think as you mentioned that they will leave some scholarships open and that next year will be more of a transition year for URI and to lower our expectations. The good thing in college basketball, unlike football, is things can change quick getting a couple big players.
If Dawe's does commit, they will be extremely crowded at guard (they already are).
Or he realizes we are the best program for him and commits.
