Their roster looks way weaker than ours

I was thinking the exact same thing. Round 2 game will be very difficult. Blue Collar U is the defending champions and are a very good team.

Now if this team just gets Jordan Hare back and it can go places! Sorry wrong thread. Wrong decade. My mistake.

Only thing that would make me hate them more is if they added Matt Glass.

Surprised they haven't gotten Hassan. It would be nice if they could add one more really good big man.

We also added Kenny Kadji (Miami FL) and Kelvin Amayo (Iona, LMU, Marshall)
Guess they needed a couple extra dudes. Of course you want it to be all Rhody Rams, but eh oh well.

Just got an invite today to create a bracket for the TBT tournament. Glad to see Rhody Way listed as taking on UMass Commonwealth in the first round.
Rhody with a team in the TBT. Can't believe it is really happening!

https://t.co/CjntLe0Zqt the go fund me raising money for the TBT.
I just gave $50. I give to the Rhode to Excellence too. I feel like we these alumni at least a night at a hotel for all they did for the program. Lot of great memories!

I agree with the sentiment - but I'd like to see them get a little more proactive with their fundraising.
I.e. - this is a big money tournament with a payday at the end. It's not like donating to the university. It wouldn't be the worst idea to promise a payback or investment opportunity should they win the million. I think they'd have a lot more success raising money if they said "if you give $100, we'll give you $150 if we win."
Something like that. Agreed that they're our guys and gave us a ton of memories though.

It’s a marketing vehicle for the program and cool AF. Anyone who can support should at any amount. They have 8 donations.

Kuran posted on Instagram last week and he seems to have a major knee injury.
Doubt he suits up.

How about if they commit to giving twice what they receive up to half what they win in prize money to URI Basketball.Blue Man wrote: ↑10 months ago I agree with the sentiment - but I'd like to see them get a little more proactive with their fundraising.

Stop the BS. These kids aren't winning. And even if they do, let them keep the money. Just make a donation and feel good about it.
Re: Phantom #Gorhody TBT team
Posted: Tue Jul 18, 2023 2:23 pm
I mean - they could. They’ve got talent.
I don’t disagree about donating - but they’re pros overseas, if $35k is their expectation (seems high), but if you really want to get buy in breaking out $35k from the mil if you win isn’t a huge hit.

Those guys helped Hurley get to where he us today. Just signed a humongous contract. Have Hurley or Miller given anything yet? Shouldn't they?
I'd rather support the current team than move some of that money to former players.

- no one ever finds out about it

Talk abt turning something potentially positive for the program into something a bit embarrassing. Wonder if it is in fact a $ issue or something else
Re: Phantom #Gorhody TBT team

Dead serious question. Most of the players on the team have v good deals overseas, how is like 5k enough to sink them playing in this tournament? That doesn’t really make sense
Re: Phantom #Gorhody TBT team
Posted: Fri Jul 21, 2023 7:56 am
My question is how real was this ever? Were the players actually committed? Why did we not articulate that they needed money to get in? Why did we start seeing random non Rhody guys show up on the roster?
Will we get our money back?
Questions for Jarrelle/Owen for sure.
