Re: Jamarques Lawrence Podcast Interview with Rival
Probably not packline lol
But that's what he's going to have to learn.
Hopefully he's got the talent and desire to learn it
We had too many last year that failed on both counts.

Re: Jamarques Lawrence Podcast Interview with Rival
Archie is a great coach: Archie has coached and developed some incredible guards in his career.
Opportunity for a significant role: Joining URI presents the chance to play a substantial role and emerge as one of the standout guards in the conference. We also play in one of the best nonhigh major conferences where plenty of guards have gone on to have a successful professional career.
Increased NIL opportunities: With more NIL and opportunities available this year compared to Archie's first two seasons, players like Lawerence can benefit financially.
Potential to turn the program around: Despite recent challenges, URI has the potential to become one of the best programs in the conference. By joining the team now, he could play a pivotal role in the team's resurgence, leaving a lasting legacy as one of the key players who helped turn things around.
Beautiful campus: Our campus is incredible. The Ryan Center is awesome, especially if we win some games. His family is also very close.
These are just some examples, but I see plenty of positives on why he may want to come here.
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

My bad. But there have been a few other people questioning why he's coming, and It didnt' seem like they were joking. We finally landed a good recruit, and we still have the negative people being negative. I don't get it!Billyboy78 wrote: ↑5 months agoI know.

A few more…….
- Much closer to home than Nebraska - but not too close.
- Easy access to Kingston on Amtrak from NYC. Train from NYC to Plainfield NJ Train Station. Easy to go home and easy for family and friends to ride train or drive to Kingston to watch him play
- Games vs Fordham, LaSalle, St Joseph’s easy to get to for family and friends
- New practice facility with 24/7 access to use whenever you like
- Very safe campus and surrounding area
- Easy access to Boston, Providence, NY via train from Kingston - easy, frequent buses from Memorial Union to Kingston station
- Chance to be big fish in a small pond as compared to Big 10
- Team eager to improve and move up
- Some good pieces to build on in David Fuchs, David Green, Cam Estevez…….good players who did not transfer and like it at URI
- Wide number of Majors and Graduate School. Good size University as it is not too big and not too small

Thanks Scott, just watched.
Great stuff, and really looking forward to seeing him in Rhody Blue.
Ironic that I just returned this week from Lincoln, Ne.
I do like our probable current starting backcourt of: Bassy, Lawrence, and House, plus Cam maybe getting starter minutes.

Yes. There is a huge difference playing in the Big 10 versus A10 and he had some great games against teams like Illinois especially the last 9 games of the season when he didn’t have to run the offense.

I think there is a belief JLAW is going to be the guy we build the team around. But this is coming from the Rivals beat writer.

Re: Jamarques Lawrence Podcast Interview with Rival
Very good interview, Scott.
I really liked his comment on Lawrence bringing a Big10 mindset of toughness to Rhody and the A10.
Excellent addition by Archie and staff and I am really looking forward to watching him here this coming season.

Re: Jamarques Lawrence Podcast Interview with Rival
His last 7 games he shot 66% from 3. He is so damn confident. He just hit some bad luck because of the Iowa betting scandal took out their star point guard and they forced him to play the 1 most of the season. He could play the 3 also when we want to go small.

Re: Jamarques Lawrence Podcast Interview with Rival
I think we will be going with a 3-guard line-up most of the season.
He will probably play the 2 and I think House would end up at the "3".

Well in 17-18, Hurley went with a 4-guard starting line-up, that didn't work out so bad.Billyboy78 wrote: ↑4 months agoThat's going to be a really small team with 3 guards, Green at the 4 and Fuchs at the 5.
We are already very thin upfront with no other current options.
Right now, who would start over Bassy, House, and Lawrence?
Possibly Cam at times if he really steps up.

Sorry Ahron Ulis was a star transfer from Iowa and couldn’t play for Nebraska all season because of the gambling scandal. So they didn’t have a point guard last season.

Ulis who transferred from Iowa was originally penciled in as the expected starter at PG.
Unfortunately, he was suspended last season for being involved in a betting scandal at Iowa.

Re: Jamarques Lawrence Podcast Interview with Rival
I agree, 78. Small lineup. And, a lot of playing below the rim because Green and Fuchs aren’t leapers.Billyboy78 wrote: ↑4 months agoThat's going to be a really small team with 3 guards, Green at the 4 and Fuchs at the 5.
Unless something changes pretty soon - I mean we sign at least one more solid big to the rotation, that is what we are looking at. It’s our best lineup without another good big.
Hope we can land at least one more playable big to give us more rim protection, rebounding.

Even though he can play the point at times, I think he would prefer playing off the ball at the 2.NYGFan_Section208 wrote: ↑4 months agogot it, thanks!

Currently the Huskers have depth at guard which would cut into his minutes,
I think playing time and moving back East played a role.

I agree, Jersey. Lawrence is better at the 2.
Watching the clips Scott played in the interview, I was impressed with his passing. That skill should help our O significantly.

I saw him play several times at the Pinnacle Bank Arena and was really impressed with his speed and basketball IQ.
Having him and Bassy in the backcourt, we can really play up-tempo.

He has the speed and attitude not the size. On his highlight reel watch him get skinny on a screen and intercept a pass for an easy 2.

Reef, if we don’t sign a solid big soon then, we might have to put Lawrence on the rack to see if we can stretch him out to 6-8” ish, at least.
