URI 2023 Transfers - Who Will Stay and Who Will Go?

[bigappleram]

Hey, he knows the game, just ask him.

[theblueram]

Because I’ll most likely be wrong about Cooley leaving for Georgetown? Sorry yea, guess I fell for his coach speak about PC. Sue me. Guess that means I know nothing about basketball!

Well, you know less than you thought you did.

Every single person on this board has been wrong about something and will continue to be wrong going forward.

Some people here know and understand the game better than others, and it’s very obvious who those people are when reading posts.

So you being a db to people who don't know the game is ok? Like a freshmen or sophomore student, who likes college hoops, would feel welcome here with you shitting on every take you disagree with? This is a fan board. For people to post their thoughts, rants and love for URI basketball. Get off your high horse and quit shitting on posters you don't agree with.

1 thing I did find is his brothers name is All Wright.
Amazing stuff.

Sister's name Just-ine?

[SmartyBarrett]

[RhodyRams916]

I would absolutely take Noah Fernandes.

[bigappleram]

That would be so odd. But I’d take him in a heartbeat.

[theblueram]

The weird thing is whoever we get to come next year, we will probably have a completely different team the year after.

[reef]

I would take Noah too but would he take us ??

[Jdrums#3]

A Hatfield join the McCoy’s ? Or, are we the Hatfields and they are the McCoy’s and it’s the other way around ?

[NYGFan_Section208]

Yes

[Rhody15]

That would be so odd. But I’d take him in a heartbeat.

Here’s our point guard.

He’s the type of grad transfer that I would 100% take.

A known commodity against the same/better competition.

Give me him over the low major grad transfers that just had blah stats this season.

[DeanDome88]

I would absolutely take Noah Fernandes.

I'd definitely take him and hope he stays healthy. A point guard who can score but also is looking to get everyone else involved would be perfect.

Or any?!?!

[jcru]

I think if you want Noah, you're going to have to sign one or two of the other ones on that list first.

He's transferring from UMass, what would be the point of going to a team who's roster is decimated?

Get some momentum, and legitimate 2 and 3 talents, and he might bite.

[jcru]

Maybe that first domino falls this weekend.

Well yeah… I was just talking best possible outcome

New Battle Highlight reel for 2022-23, entering transfer portal:

[STC]

Just saw this posted, can’t find anything else confirming this report.

[KevanBoyles]

Wow. Didn’t see that coming. I’d like to know the back story.

[steveystuds06]

Bassy is perfect for a low major.

[adam914]

Thanks for representing Rhody well and always playing hard out there Bassy. Hope he gets a chance to go somewhere and get solid playing time to finish up his career.

[steveystuds06]

Long shot..

[Iggy1979]

Wow. Didn’t see that coming. I’d like to know the back story.

Odd there's no mention on his Twitter

[Dino611]

If anyone was asking for another source

Blue Man probably throwing a party tonight but I also can’t agree more respected the kid a shit Ton playing for his home school with great respect

[section(105)]

Bassy is perfect for a low major.

Yes, exactly, agree with those that did not see that coming. Best for ya.

[bigappleram]

Bassy to Bryant
Grasso to PC

Everyone wins

[RhodyRams916]

BLUEMAN!!!!!!! YOUR BOY IS OUT

[Billyboy78]

Looks like a mass exit again. Bassy's dream was to play here. If he leaves, I don't expect many to stay.

[KevanBoyles]

Think Archie is asking them directly or indirectly to leave?

[Rhodymob05]

Always worked hard. I wish him luck.

[adam914]

Think Archie is asking them directly or indirectly to leave?

In Bassy’s case, I would imagine Archie was just honest with him about his playing time moving forward if recruiting goes as expected this offseason.

[section(105)]

Think Archie is asking them directly or indirectly to leave?

……..only their hair dresser know for sure…….

[rjv]

The coach

[Rhody74]

Think Archie is asking them directly or indirectly to leave?

I can’t imagine Archie pushing them out without having confidence good players are coming.

[Backroads]

So all players who entered the portal so far have been Cox recruits

[RhodyRams916]

Think Archie is asking them directly or indirectly to leave?

The coach 100%. Archie probably told him that his PT would be cut if they got someone in the portal.

[bigappleram]

No one should be shocked; roster upheaval esp in Portal era is a part of any rebuild.

[Billyboy78]

I don't mind a lot of players leaving right now (I hate the whole idea, but it is what it is), but Archie has to get it right this off-season. He needs to bring in not only better talent, but guys who are going to stay and be the nucleus going forward. 8 or 9 new players every year isn't going to work.

[RAM67]

I liked Thomas. I liked his work ethic, his speed, and his court vision. He admittedly needed work on his shooting but was a very good passer. That being said, I don't think he was asked to leave, but it was a personal realization that Archie was out hunting for guards probably pushing him further down the bench.

[rhodysurf]

[RhodyRams916]

2!?!??! WHAT?!

[NYGFan_Section208]

Looks like a mass exit again. Bassy's dream was to play here. If he leaves, I don't expect many to stay.

And the problem with that would be......?

Agree, probably not 'asked' to leave, but told something like, "I'm hoping, and pretty sure I'm going to be able to, land at least two players at your spot that are better than you".... y'know, in a nice way.

[Backroads]

Well excluding Bray but that’s a different situation

[NYGFan_Section208]

2!?!??! WHAT?!

I know...seems like a lot, right?

[SmartyBarrett]

So all players who entered the portal so far have been Cox recruits

If Carey doesn't return as expected, the entire roster will Archie's guys exclusively.

[steveystuds06]

2!?!??! WHAT?!

Dino and I were texting last week and we both heard that Archie was going to absolutely blow up the team. I didn't think it would be everyone but two.. But I mean our team was awful! We shall see
