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

[Billyboy78]

[Jersey77]

That would be a good landing spot for him.

[rhodyram22]

Oh wow, would be a GREAT opportunity for him.

[Billyboy78]

PC fans would love it. A URI player becoming a star playing for Cooley!

Sucks that he's leaving, but I can't wait to watch him play against PC again, just in the BE this time.

[Bos8]

Ish tweeted “false” about him visiting Georgetown…

[NYGFan_Section208]

Weston would be in the portal if the attitude claim was true.

what? y'mean, someone might be out there just a-ragging on the vault? Pour quoi???

[Billyboy78]

Ish tweeted “false” about him visiting Georgetown…

And that tweet has been deleted now.

[NYGFan_Section208]

Ish tweeted “false” about him visiting Georgetown…

he's probably coming back here

[steviep123]

It seems rv deleted his tweet. No reason to.

[ramster]

What did the tweet say from rhody vault

[NYGFan_Section208]

What did the tweet say from rhody vault

"Snag this quick, I'll be deleting it soon"?

[steviep123]

I don’t remember exactly but something about he heard reports that ish might be looking at Georgetown.

Now he just tweeted



To be fair I don’t recall if it was a quote of another tweet or not.

[reef]

Oh wow RV screwed up again !! Why am I not surprised??

[ramster]

I don’t remember exactly but something about he heard reports that ish might be looking at Georgetown.

Now he just tweeted



To be fair I don’t recall if it was a quote of another tweet or not.

So Rhody Vault reported Leggett was looking at Georgetown, then he later deleted his tweet and then he blamed the reason for deleting the inaccurate tweet stating Leggett was the source of the report he was looking at Georgetown?

What am I missing here?

[rhodyrudder]

What am I missing here?

At least he didn’t say it was Archie’s fault?

[rhodyblue12]

I think he is saying his source that the original tweet was false was Ish.

[SGreenwell]

What am I missing here?

Not quite. Series of events seems to be: 1) A pair of Georgetown-related Twitter accounts say that Leggett was visiting that day. 2) RV repeats that. 3) Leggett gets on Twitter and says that he's not visiting Georgetown that day. 4) RV pulls his tweet, citing Leggett as the source for the initial tweet being untrue. So, still RV's "fault" for just aggregating / RT information without trying to verify it at all, but he wasn't "blaming" Leggett for it.

[RIFan]

Agreed, seems like he was saying Ish was the source of the info saying he wasn’t visiting.

Another Hoya fan tweeted out that Ish was visiting Georgetown (tweet has been deleted can’t find it) I believe Vault retweeted or quoted it and then ish commented on it a couple hours later saying it was false

[ace]

Apparently this was what started all that, a picture-

[rjv]

I'm not concern who leaves and where they go... I'm interested in who is coming to URI.
We can talk about woulda shoulda but it is all yesterday's news. I'm tired of the past, I want to know the future.
Stop living in yesterday!

[NYGFan_Section208]

Ish will not find a better situation for himself than here. Mark it down.

[luke]

Completely agree.

[McRam]

Ish will not find a better situation for himself than here. Mark it down.

why do u say that? Pitt had a good year last year. Before that 7 or 8 years ago was their last one. Has Coach Capel accomplished much with his chances?Have a very high profile 4 star shooting guard coming in. Playing a guard at the 3 in the ACC is not the norm as it is in the A 10. His minutes will probably go down and I’m guessing his close in baskets will also go down with the big bodies in the ACC.

He might think the grass is greener there, but…….is it really?

Talk about over-reaction.
The kid schedules a visit to Pitt, and now some here make judgement calls on what is best for his future.

Let's see, he is the top player on a team that finished 14th in a weak A10.
After 3 lousy seasons, can't blame him for checking out other options.

But of course, would love to see him return.

[rhodyblue12]

Pitt is willing to spend to win. From the Sporting News on the UofM deals:

This is the world of NIL-funded recruiting — one the Hurricanes have deftly navigated en route to another deep NCAA Tournament run. It's a controversial topic in the sport, with recently retired Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim accusing the Hurricanes, among other teams, of buying their players.

"Pittsburgh bought a team. OK, fine. My [big donor] talks about it, but he doesn't give anyone any money. Nothing," Boeheim said in February. "Not one guy. Our guys make like $20,000. Wake Forest bought a team. Miami bought a team."

Ish is probably there because they pay. Word travels fast

Boeheim is a moron. Wake forest isn’t buying their team, Pitt really isn’t either

Totally. But, if he finds a BETTER situation for him than here...I'll be stunned.
He's pretty much a lock for minutes and points here like he would be no place else.

For clarification...going to a P5 team and averaging 7-10 minutes a game is not a better situation than this, imo...

You shouldn't underestimate Ish; he will get much more minutes than you think.

Aside from his ability to score (and many teams keyed on him), he is an excellent defender, shoots FTs at 85%, and is a good rebounder. Plus an extremely hard worker with great character.
All of these above coach's love.

In addition, he might want to go to a team that can participate in the post-season and who knows what NIL $ come into play.
Or he may just want a change of scenery.

He won't get more minutes, or anywhere near as meaningful minutes, where he can rack up some points...more so than in Kingston. Where is he going to play, that's more high profile (admittedly, not a high bar) AND where he can come close to the stats he put up last year (much higher bar)? Unless Arch conveyed otherwise, I'd think he'll be back just because of that. Where does he go where he can score 16/game? Does he want to go somewhere cool and score 8, or 10? He stays.

Well yeah but racking up big stats on a not so good team may not be what drives him the most.
I agree if he trades up to a bigger and better program with a larger stage, his minutes and #'s probably won't be the same as here.
But to have a chance to be a solid part at a higher level may be more important to him.
Like I said before the portal even opened, Archie's toughest job this off-season would be to try and keep Ish.

[CamsRams]

[Jersey77]

Big Week!
Hopefully that means they expect some additional positive news very soon.
Or at the least have some exciting things in the works.

[theblueram]

Get us the players Kenny!!!!!

[rhodyram22]

The fact that he's posting this feels like we're close to getting someone big... Hopefully Pride

[Billyboy78]

Gotta love seeing that!

[LoveThoseRams]

RV just reported that Pride had a Zoom with Pee Cee tonight and is taking an unofficial visit this weekend…

Kenny been doing great , I forget what is his penalty again for when he can’t recruit??

I just don't think he's going to want to average less than the 16 he did this year, if he can at all help it. Would want to stay in the mid teens at least. Where is he going to go do that, at a place more high profile than here? (And hopefully, based on upgrades, it's a challenge for him to get that here)

1. He took Andrew slaters news and made it his own lol, at least credit someone mr. Insecure

2. PCs backcourt has way too many players I don’t honestly know why he would go there even, they technically will run out of scholarships if the Breed situation gets dropped and Ike commits this weekend lmfao

[adam914]

Really starting to love Kenny! He's doing work this offseason.

[Billyboy78]

I got to talk to him a little last year. It's easy to see why players and recruits love him.

[Billyboy78]

I'm still hoping it's Isaiah Coleman and Brandon Gardner. That would qualify as BIG!!!

Well if that is what he really wants, not sure why he would enter the portal and try to trade up.
I think he is well aware of the situation and welcomes the challenge of tougher competition.

We will see, hope he ends up staying, but very doubtful.

[LoveThoseRams]

Ish posted quite the hotel suite on Insta this morning. Pitt really rolling it out for him.

[ramster]

Bynum and Leggett backcourt?
