Where Are They Now? Former Player Results and News

[Rhodysk]

Abdul fox is one of my favorite rams of all time.

Looks like the athletic department and maybe if coach miller heard of the complaints about not having Rhody’s past be on display.
Looks like they are finally going out of their way to bring whoever they can back and I’m sure all have had a chat with the coaches and team.
Good stuff RHODY!!!

[RIFan]

Maybe the services for Don was the reason many came to town.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Damont Collins is one of my all-time favorites. Maybe the toughest Ram I've ever seen.

[LoveThoseRams]

Any word on why Cyril is back in the US, and not playing abroad?

[Rhody_NYCT]

Any word on why Cyril is back in the US, and not playing abroad?

Not sure why he was home, but he said he was headed to Greece soon.

[reef]

Really great turnout by the ex Rhody hoop players , really good to see

[Billyboy78]

Damont Collins...Jeff Kalapos...Brian Woodward

I'm surprised they didn't announce Brian at the game, especially since his brother is one of our coaches.

[SGreenwell]

Since I bumped up Murphy's thread - Tyson Wheeler Jr.'s senior high school season starts tomorrow. It seems like he's at the same high school, which (I think) plays D-III in CT. He was named to the All-Division team last year, but he isn't on Verbal Commits or the New England Recruiting Report's rankings. Unless he's grown, he's in the 5'7" range, and likely more of a D-II or lower D-I school target. His Twitter account is here.

I'd love to hear from Brian
1. what led up to the Dohlman incident
2. what really happen (was it a punch)
3. what led to his suspension.

Louis Orr passed away from cancer. He paired with Roosevelt Bouie back in the day to form a formidable Syracuse team in the East.

Very sad news , he was an assistant @ Georgetown under his former teammate Ewing

[Billyboy78]

The UMass game is being referred to as the 'Hall of Fame' game with the 'Ring of Honor Induction'. Have I missed details of this? Like who is going up/in? I knew about the '88 and '98 teams being honored, but didn't know any other details.

The Toronto Raptors announced Thursday they have waived forward Justin Champagnie (Sham-Penny). Toronto’s roster now stands at 14, with two two-way players. Champagnie, 6-foot-6, 202 pounds, averaged 2.2 rebounds, 1.9 rebounds and 7.5 minutes in 39 career games with the Raptors. He scored in double figures twice, including a career-high 14 points Jan. 4, 2022 against San Antonio. Champagnie originally signed a two-way contract with Toronto in the summer of 2021.
Fred VanVleet was out for injury Thursday night helping Dowtin get some playing time.

ELEVATE. JEFF.

[Rhody15]

With Terrell's athleticism and build, I’m very surprised he wasn’t able to stay in the league.

[luke]

I agree , but sometimes it just comes down to being lucky enough to be the right fit for the team you end up with .

[McRam]

Terrell’s last summer league performance was not impressive. Cost him a lot suitors

[SGreenwell]

With Terrell's athleticism and build, I’m very surprised he wasn’t able to stay in the league.

Unfortunately, it's looking more like his shooting mark as a senior was an outlier, vs. sustained improvement. In his pro career, his highest 3-point percentage was 35.5 percent in 37 games in the Ukraine league, and he's more often hovered near 30 percent. I agree with you though that his defense and ability to attack the basket means he'll probably be a pro for a good, long time.

I'm yet to see a Dowtin mistake at the NBA level. He looks super human in G-league play, and looks like an absolute pro for the Raptors.

11:2 assists to turnovers.

He's only played 11 games, and the Raptors have 45 to go. As a two-way player, he can appear in 50 max until they have to re-structure his contract and actually sign him. So we should be rooting for Jeff to play in 40/45 remaining games, which would guarantee him an NBA contract.

Hopefully FVV takes a lot of rest time to heal up his back.

Also, if the Raptors could bring back the 00 jerseys so I could buy a Dowtin one that would be cool.

Not really sure why he doesn’t get more run there , he should not be a 2 way instead a backup Point guard getting 12-18 minutes a game

[Jdrums#3]

He does nothing but make winning plays. Play the man!

The Raptors control him as a “cheap” two way player. Until he uses up his two way NBA allotment for,games (currently 50)
they have no reason to offer him a more expensive NBA minimum contract. It will happen !

Mekhi Long went for 19 and 19 for Old Dominion yesterday. It looks like he found his landing spot. This is a case where the portal worked well. I don’t think he would have put up a stat line like that in the A10.

[KevanBoyles]

I liked Mekhi’s game. Old Dominion has a good coach and is in a good league. I’m surprised by the 19 rebounds, but who wouldn’t be. I’m not so sure his talent wouldn’t translate well to the A-10. The A-10 isn’t a top 10 conference anymore.

Actually I was a little disappointed when he left and thought he had potential as a freshman.
Currently averaging about 10 pts/ 8 rebs.

Let's also remember that 2 teams currently in the bottom half of the Sun Belt standings Texas State and Georgia State both beat us this season.

[bigappleram]

Agreed. Of course he could play here. He’s basically a Malik clone. And we see how impt Malik can be.

Actually BAR, not a bad comparison.
Although I think he has more upside (only a junior) and a little taller.
His shooting percentages are much better than Malik's: 45% FG (40%), 36% 3PT (30%) and a better FT shooter.

Good point. I had the older version of the A10 in my head, not the A10 of the past 2 1/2 years. The fact that Long could play in the current A10 may say more about the league than about him. I know league strength runs in cycles and the hiring of name coaches at several schools can help, but I wonder about the future of the league. In Lunardi’s bracketology the other day, he had VCU as the automatic qualifier (pre loss to the Bonnies) and a 12 seed. Not good to have your league champion as a 12 seed.

Gonna be even worse when they don't end up as league champ...

Honestly we’d be lucky to get that. Thanks to PC the conference has ONE Q1 win. One legit win out of 15 teams and 150ish total OOC games.

This is the worst A10 of our lifetimes.

[reef]

Yeah I’m thinking now a 16-2 conf record is the only way for a possible @ large now and only STL and VCU have a long shot @ that

Agreed. I was high on Long. He was one of those do the little things types of players that every good team needs.

Long, Martin, Toppin, Tate were all significant talent losses for the DC regime.

I’d go with Tyrese slightly over Toppin.

I’d go with Toppin not because he transferred, but because of where he transferred to.

A Toppin transfer to Kentucky and a potential Leggett transfer to a P6 school couldn’t be compared in the slightest.

Two completely different players and circumstances.

So a transfer out for a p5 is not the same? Not sure what you are saying.
