So happy to see fellow Long Islander, Jim Ferry dust him twice this season.

Isn't he about 90 years old?

LOL. Jimmy is a weathered 55. Hoping he has success at UMBC. Great spot for him. He had some fun teams at LIU Brooklyn before going to Duquesne. Duquesne is not an easy place to win.

[ramster]

So confused how RV gives Grasso/Bryant a pass on an extremely disappointing season. What a joke with that roster. He was outcoached in almost every single game. The American East has some good head coaches for a low major. This isn't the NEC. His arrogance and lack of any real plan other than out talent everyone backfired. Maybe he learns from this but I have a strong feeling he will continue with what he does. So happy to see fellow Long Islander, Jim Ferry dust him twice this season. Bryant does have the talent to wipe through the conference tournament but do they have the Coach? That should be RV's question!

Just can't emphasize enough how great of a coaching job John Becker has done at Vermont.
After losing 4 starters and most of their scoring, they still dominated the league this season (14-2)
This is now his 7th consecutive regular season title AEC.

Coach Becker is impressive. You are not going to out coach him! Herrion at UNH is a good basketball mind. Jim Ferrry has so much experience and just a great guy. Pat Duquette at UMass Lowell is real good. Chris Markwood and Levell Sanders look to be great hires at Maine and Binghamton. Levell Sanders is going to be great in my opinion. He has all the making of being a star. This is not the NEC in terms of Coaching.

Vermont was picked for 1st place. Becker met expectations.
UMASS-Lowell came in a close 2nd
Bryant finished further behind those 2 in 3rd but 6th in record. To finish 8-8 (17-12) was underwhelming.

Good point about Becker , wonder if we lost out on Arch would Becker have gotten our job ??

There hasn't really been any resolution yet in the sexual assault civil case involving one of his former stars, NBA player Anthony Lamb. A lawsuit about it was filed in December 2022. There's a full rundown of it here. I don't think URI - and a bunch of other schools - wanted any part of that.

Oh I forgot about that , if it was just coaching he sounds like he can get to a better conference

[ramster]

New Hampshire NET 274 beats Bryant.
Only 4 Turnovers for UNH
Bryant had 14 TOs.
Season over for Bryant.

Tough loss for Rhody Vault.

[ElmCityRhody]

So sorry to the player that left us

Oh well

Bahahahahaha

[reef]

Terrible season Brysnt based on all their expectations

[steveystuds06]

I watched Bryant more this year than others. I’ll admit it. I was wrong about Grasso. He can recruit but man his in game coaching is brutal. What a letdown…

[ElmCityRhody]

I never believed the hype

Bryant ?!?!

Pa-lease

Loser team and loser transfers

Good riddance - I said it then and I’ll say it again

Hope you enjoyed transferring to that loser program

[ElmCityRhody]

what ?!??

ECR right again

Hope You had fun playing for your 3rd ncaa team

guess you believed the hype

But alas … wrong wrong wrong

[Rhodymob05]

It is amazing how fast the Bulldogs sunk.

[ramster]

Definitely. And Bryant was treated with kid gloves by the media preseason with all their great incoming transfers.
No America East Coach of the Year for Grasso.
Glad Grasso didn't end up at URI

Grasso was never in consideration for the URI job.

Didn't say he was in consideration. But if you go back to the speculation thread on who the new coach might be there were some who would have been ok with Grasso.
The one game where we beat them at the Ryan and Malik Martin got mugged on a layup was all I needed to see of Grasso and his players.
That's why I'm glad he didn't end up here. Last guy i would ever want Coaching my favorite team and my suspicions have certainly been confirmed by his actions and team performance since Archie Miller was announced at URI.

Oh hell yeah I was agreeing with your point and emphasizing that no one at URI was going to touch him with a 10 foot pole. We're all in agreement.

[RhowdyRam02]

Gee, I wonder what he means by that last part...

[ramster]

I wish the URI Administration and/or Legal Department would make him remove Rhody from his moniker.

Not good. Who does he think he is?

[bigappleram]

Only Rhody could have an online presence that posts under the Rhody brand, takes pot shots at the school and promotes our biggest rival (PC). What a joke.

[PeterRamTime]

Tell me you're butthurt without telling me you're butthurt.

[Blue Man]

Unfortunately we don't really have one, so one dude with a hair across his ass can just go and do this.

This kid sucks though. Everything is a potshot at Archie. I want us to be good - not just for the obvious reasons - but to shut this joker the f up.

no doubt, RV is a dipshit. we all agree. however, where does the 'rhody' thing stop? Does URI actually have a TM on 'Rhody' ? I'm asking, I don't know.

URI going after MOB? see rhodyoysters.com

little rhody foods?

Rhody Transportation?

Rhody Disposal?

those are just the first handful of a quick google search.

I think the collective ire on this one for the 'rhody' moniker is misdirected.

Obviously not - but the basketball, the keaney blue coloring, and the fact that it's sports.

Plus, try to start a website using "rhody" - that douche bought them all. Shrewd businessman I guess, but a total D bag move for a purported "fan" of the program.

[LoveThoseRams]

So, did he ever get an interview with Cooley? He doesn’t bash Pee C..

Agreed. The only reason anyone connects him to URI hoops is because he has created some interesting content. Not knowing that, he sounds like a banker or silver stacker.

Friar Fans Rhody Fans

(Disagreeing with Rhody Vault)

I will always remember Ed as the guy that got hit in the head with a Newport Propane mini basketball at the PC/Rhody game in 2011.

[RhodyRams916]

It's funny. RhodyVault will do anything he can to stick it to URI, but will go on and on praising Bryant and PC. What's the point in even mentioning Adrian Myers here?

"Former @RhodyMBB recruit who initially committed to URI."

Ok, and? Not going to URI anymore. Fucking annoying.

[KevanBoyles]

When did Meyers commit? I guess I missed it.

[RhodyRams916]

In early August, but no reason for RhodyVault to mention it here. Isn't relevant for URI fans right now.

[jcru]

oh yeah, when I saw his picture I remembered him.

He was committed for about a cup of coffee, then decommitted.

I can't remember exactly - I think the discussion in that thread might have covered. My impression was that after committing, he was quickly sniffed around by more P6 schools, and opened his recruitment back up. I could definitely be mistaken, though! He was just a verbal commit, IIRC, not someone with a signed letter of intent.

Ah ok. Probably got that P6 offer soon after verbally committing to URI and dipped lol

[jcru]

yeah, he did the "just kidding" thing. I just got an offer from a couple of P5 schools, remember everything I said about loving the family at Rhody?

Scratch that. I'm out.

SG, I seem to remember the same.
He had only just verbally committed, and his recruitment was starting to heat up.
I think he was expecting some P5 offers and decided to open it up.

I know we shouldn’t look too much into offers, but kinda cool Dubsky chose URI over K-State considering how well they’re doing this season.

Yeah, baby. Dubsky da man.

Or, you know, soon to be... da man.

What did the tweet say?
I created a separate thread for Rhody Vault because all of his dumb, ill-advised attacks on URI and/or Archie Miller were being distributed across many different subject threads. Now they are all together.

I screen-shot his stuff for the very reason that he deletes the threads where he goes way off with stupid/mean, vengeful stuff then if he gets too much kickback he cowardly deletes it.

Hate that he used Rhody Vault with a Basketball. Should be against URI trademark or at least he should have the decency to change his brand since he does URI no favors.

I don't exactly recall - something about several recruits being on some all star type list - one of them a PC recruit being on the lists (1st/2nd/3rd teams) and "former URI commit Myers" being on one. I mean it's relevant info and I don't have a problem with it mentioned, but based on his history, it could also be seen as a dig.
