[reef]

JD can help them in the playoffs !!

[Jdrums#3]

I agree, Reef.

Wake up and smell the coffee, Toronto. The man belongs in the league.

[ace]

[reef]

“League this man!”

Yeah! He deserves it. Played well this year.

[Billyboy78]

[bigappleram]

Yep....Former staff member Jerrell Coleman is starting up a Rhody TBT team...gonna be awesome. I assume Hass, Jared, Jarvis, EC and others. Delroy still playing. Would love them to grab Billy Baron who is tearing it up in Europe.

[adam914]

Can't wait, this is going to be fantastic!

[jcru]

I hate to admit it, but I barely remember Long. Did he leave the same year as Tyrese, Toppin, and Dana Tate?

Yes. 3 years ago

[steveystuds06]

Jersey and I liked Long's game, but since he didn’t drop 20 and 10 as a freshman, some people here said he wasn’t good. Another perfect example on why you can’t give up on guys playing in their first year. Players develop and players get better.

[jcru]

I remember him more and more since making that statement. I remember being on the fence about him, I was impressed with him at times, he had some good games as a freshman off the bench. Back in those days (3 years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth), I don't think it was so much people saying to get rid of him, as much as people were saying recruit over him.

If it happened today, then yes, you might have heard people harping about letting him go into the portal. I do believe he was significantly better than many of the people on our current roster, in terms of talent, ability, polish, etc, however.

Agree likes him as well. Plus athlete and size for his position. A better version of Malik IMO.

Xavier Munford has also been a regular in TBT. Hopefully they bring him in as well. Need some height for our guard depth.

Hassan Martin
Jared Terrell
Jarvis Garrett
EC Matthews
Xavier Munford
Kuran Iverson

Cyril?
Fatts?
Billy Baron?

Delroy still playing. Ulmer still playing. Will Daniels still playing. I'm sure Jimmy could still hoist a couple if needed. IDK the roster size though, and I would assume Rell is going to grab the guys he was with during the Hurley years - so that list above is pretty accurate I would guess.

Fuck it, throw Lamar on there too.

Isn't Cuttino still playing in the Big 3? No idea what the rules are for participation, or if the times sync up... But a team featuring Odom and Mobley would certainly grab some attention. Not sure how successful they'd be at this age but...

I’m not familiar with TBT , what exactly is it a league ??

Oh yeah I do recall that now , hopefully can watch the ex URI guys on TV

[Rhodysk]

Look who’s at the final four

[reef]

Hard to make out but is that CFL and Jimmy B ??

[Rhodysk]

Yes

[ramster]

Funny how CFL name stuck

For life

[reef]

Didn’t Rod come up with that name ??

[ramster]

I think he did

It's a Classic!

[reef]

It really is , I’m around here long enough to actually asked what CFL stood for lol

[ATPTourFan]

CFL never missed a Final Four back when he was coaching here.

Remember that shot of him sitting baseline when Kansas(?) hit the buzzer beater shot to win?

It's when the national coaches conference is every year. Archie should be there I imagine.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

And it's where ADs go to fish for new coaches. It's where Texas recruited Tom Penders.

[CaptainRon]

Didn’t Rod come up with that name ??

Yea he did. Miss the cranky old guy.

[jcru]

He wasn't cranky. Jim Baron was given a new 10 year contract extension a few years into his stead here. The first time he went to the NIT or whatever.

The reality at that moment was, this guy "is going to be here for the REST OF MY LIFE".

Hence, Coach for Life. Not Baron's life.

You devote your entire adult existence to URI Basketball and get sent to purgatory for all of your effort.

If I recall it was whatever year Va Tech came sniffing around - gave him that super deal, then Va Tech hired Seth Greenberg instead.

[jcru]

Yep, the Hokies. It was more like rumored interest. After the fact, I remember thinking, did VTech really want Baron, or did they just do him a solid by making URI panic and adjust his contract and that was the real goal the entire time?

I will respectfully disagree. We argued about lots of things. CFL was not one. On further review, I’m cranky too!

Cranky? On a Friday? With less than 4 hours til Beer 1?

[reef]

Hmmm I’m going to guess he goes undrafted

[Jdrums#3]

Hmmm I’m going to guess he goes undrafted

Probably, Reef. Although, he could go later in the 2nd, I think - depending on how strong this draft is ( I have no idea how strong it is at this time ).

Other than that, maybe he gets a two way contract with an NBA team. I think he could be a solid defender on the NBA level as he has the length and athleticism for that role, I think. However, on the offensive end, I don’t think that part of his game is NBA caliber yet. Maybe his offensive game can get to NBA level if he really works at it.

[steviep123]

I can certainly see testing the waters, but why not keep your eligibility as a back up? There's really no downside.

There was some talk of Toppin joining St John's and Pitino

He is ready to move on from Kentucky.
He will play G-League if he doesn't catch on with an NBA Team
Very, very doubtful he goes in the 2nd round.
But he will likely get invited to nba summer league play
