He is a multi-transfer from Alabama and West Virginia, played only limited minutes.
In 21-22 as a freshman was 1st Team Juco All-American (15 pts/12 rebs, 3rd in nation blocks).

He is from Bronx NY, look for Duane to reach out.
Nice catch, Jersey.

He fits my preferred profile: P6 level; he may have something to prove; practiced every day against P6 level talent; probably not costly from an NIL standpoint; exposed to a winning culture/bigtime environment.

Good value, potentially, that could slide into our rotation and help Fuchs and provide him with good competition in practice.

I hope we reach out, too.
Yes, he is a player that is within our reach, and could provide solid depth in the paint.

I would also look at soph. (C) Fredrick King (6'10) from Creighton.
He was a freshman of the week BE (16 pts/10.5 rebs), in 22-23.

I did not want Luis to leave, but to be fair I didn’t want Bassy to leave last year either. I do think Bassy is a better fit for uptempo and a better true PG, but Luis was a tough kid and good player.
Are we really going to be uptempo? Remember, with Fuchs and Green we are not at all fast!
This is a good point. Even if Archie wants to go faster and thinks he got a point guard that can successfully go faster it doesn't necessarily mean the rest of his current roster can play the way he wants. Expect to see a lot of poor shot selection from House and Thomas pushing the pace and trying to finish 1 on 3 at the basket while the rest of our team tries to get up the floor.

Can't wait!

Might be some deals at the deadline. Players being too patient or trying to reach, only so many spots on each team. I think last COVID year so realistically too many people in the portal. When the music gets close to stopping they might be scrambling for a seat.

It's not just that we know he's unplayable at this level, it's the fact that we've got a program that needs to improve and we're going back to an already failed option
Did you actually watch a single game of his all year?

If not, watch the Albany Vermont game and explain how he will suck here surrounded by House, Cam, Green, Lawrence and Fuchs?
Why the fuck would I watch Albany basketball games? They went 5-11, second to last, in a bad conference, I've got better shit to do with my time. And I don't care what he did against Vermont in the Future Bankers of America basketball conference playing against guys whose biggest basketball accomplishments after college will be being their accounting firm's best player in the Saturday morning pickup league and winning the 8 and under CYO championship as a coach.

I already saw what he did here for two years, I don't need to watch games from the 21st ranked conference in college basketball to get a read on his game. Great, he looked better offensively playing against stiffs because he had all the time and space in the world to do what he wanted. Also, he was still a fucking horrific defender by the numbers considering the stiffs he was playing against. I was happy for him, he matched his talent with the competition level and did well offensively. But he's going to get chewed up at this level, just like he already did, and we're going to waste a year expecting the results to magically be different this time around.

If people truly believe in House, Cam, Green, Lawrence, and Fuchs they should be pissed that Archie's ruining that core, and the last seasons from at least House and Green, by bringing in a known failure at this level to play the most important position on the floor. If Sebastian Thomas! Part Deux is the best we can do at starting point guard as a program in year 3 of the Archie Miller era we are really and truly porked. This is like if we brought Matthew Butler back after one season at UT-Martin. We should be past this as a program by now
PRT also has said he watched David Green play at Louisiana Tech 😂🤣

Bingo. You need someone to grab the rebounds to start the break. We can only assume that Archie will bring in at least 1, hopefully 2 bigs that can be successful in that role.

Deadline is May 1st to enter the Portal this year.
There is no deadline for committing to a school so players will be added to rosters continually.

The prime candidates signings in the upcoming days up to May 1st could result in more players entering last minute as current roster players may see their starting spot in jeopardy or see their playing time opportunity reduced. Coaches will be watching this carefully in the coming days.

I believe the May 1 deadline does not apply to graduate “students”. This could be a real cluster f***. Eg. Jaden House surprisingly enters portal in June. The pickings are very slim at that point.

I agree. I was just using it as an example of the lack of thought with the current system. Of course if there is thought, it is even scarier.

I think he's just trying to troll at this point. His comments are reaching Rhody72 levels. At least 72 was funny. Anyone who watches sports knows that college players typically improve and develop once they become juniors or seniors. You'd have to be a complete idiot not to understand that. The funniest part is Matthew Butler is an example of a player who improved as he got older. He had a great senior year and played well against a few high majors. We see teams get upset in March literally every single season, yet there are still people here who assume every non-high-major player and team sucks. We are going to get eaten alive by a player on PC who played at Chicago St. But people like Rhodyram will just assume he sucks because he came from that program.

Just remember that this dude thinks Bassy hasn't improved in any way, won't make any impact in the A10, is slower than Luis, and will put up the same numbers as his sophomore year. We'll see what happens.

Yes, we had players trade down from high majors, but as Blue Man posted none had the same impact at that level that Lawrence did.

I know we're all bummed about Hammond. I want to show that it's not a URI thing but a part of a larger problem that even blue bloods have to deal with.

Might be some deals at the deadline. Players being too patient or trying to reach, only so many spots on each team. I think last COVID year so realistically too many people in the portal. When the music gets close to stopping they might be scrambling for a seat.
Deadline is May 1st to enter the Portal this year.
There is no deadline for committing to a school so players will be added to rosters continually.

The prime candidates signings in the upcoming days up to May 1st could result in more players entering last minute as current roster players may see their starting spot in jeopardy or see their playing time opportunity reduced. Coaches will be watching this carefully in the coming days.
A deadline to committ would make this better

I agree…..but that kid was probably over recruited in the portal. In a sense Ben was too, but not until after he opted out. I think he was on track to be our starting PG almost right away.

Ben can’t get recruited over when he’s no longer committed to the team…

Did you actually watch a single game of his all year?

If not, watch the Albany Vermont game and explain how he will suck here surrounded by House, Cam, Green, Lawrence and Fuchs?
Why the fuck would I watch Albany basketball games? They went 5-11, second to last, in a bad conference, I've got better shit to do with my time. And I don't care what he did against Vermont in the Future Bankers of America basketball conference playing against guys whose biggest basketball accomplishments after college will be being their accounting firm's best player in the Saturday morning pickup league and winning the 8 and under CYO championship as a coach.

I already saw what he did here for two years, I don't need to watch games from the 21st ranked conference in college basketball to get a read on his game. Great, he looked better offensively playing against stiffs because he had all the time and space in the world to do what he wanted. Also, he was still a fucking horrific defender by the numbers considering the stiffs he was playing against. I was happy for him, he matched his talent with the competition level and did well offensively. But he's going to get chewed up at this level, just like he already did, and we're going to waste a year expecting the results to magically be different this time around.

If people truly believe in House, Cam, Green, Lawrence, and Fuchs they should be pissed that Archie's ruining that core, and the last seasons from at least House and Green, by bringing in a known failure at this level to play the most important position on the floor. If Sebastian Thomas! Part Deux is the best we can do at starting point guard as a program in year 3 of the Archie Miller era we are really and truly porked. This is like if we brought Matthew Butler back after one season at UT-Martin. We should be past this as a program by now
Hahahhaa what a pathetic response

Yep! Players can't get better!
Still far less pathetic than watching an Albany basketball game. Get more hobbies

Yeah, keep thinking playing against stiffs means he got better. But hey, you watched a highlight clip on YouTube, you must know what you're talking about

Incorrect

I did not watch a single highlight clip on YouTube

As I stated I watched the entire game on ESPN+

I watched the Vermont vs Albany playoff game on ESPN+ and underdog Albany gave Vermont a good scare.

I also watched all 14 A10 games in the Barclay Center in person and where USI had the lowest representation of any of the 15 A10 Teams.
I’m not a watcher at all of YouTube highlights where a player is never shown missing a shot and defense is ignored.

As for “playing against stiffs”, plenty of P5, NBE and high mid majors continue to rape the low-mid majors and mid-majors of their top players. It’s as big or bigger a source of talent as recruiting freshmen. Look no further than PC under Cooley and English.

NIL for individuals with no limits, NIL pot of gold from which to Pay Players with no limits, no sit out penalty, no penalty for breaking Freshmen Letter of Intent.
It’s the perfect world for players to maximize their income.
Player Income levels will grow more and more as the Portal becomes more sophisticated. Will head towards auctioning off players to the highest bidder and even then bid stealers can swoop in right up to the playing of the first game in November. Sky is the limit for player pay and to thing the media money going to the schools has not even been touched yet as schools want to protect that money 💰 but that money will get eligible for players before long. Too much there to ignore.

The super conference level will be created for football and it will drag basketball with it just as several here have predicted for some time.

Which makes me feel better that to this point we've kept 3 starters/probably our best 3, 2 freshmen who could easily go to a higher level program, and we've improved at 2 positions of need (true PG and consistent secondary producer).

Maybe things aren't as bad as some of the posters want to make the rest of us believe.

Me thinks the sooner the super conference gets going the better it will be for URI. I think it will then provide a more clear understanding of the new environment we would be within. Including conference realignment etc. this assumes URI would not be in the super conference.
