Big time upgrade from Tyson

Cunningham is also following a 6'7 200lb wing from FSU

Would be a junior next season. Hardly played at all in two years at FSU, but looks like he can really shoot it nonetheless.

We'll then have two Houses

I would be more fine with him than I would Traore. Played a touch more and can legit shoot it.

Yeah im just basing that off Cunningham having followed him.

Pretty good offer list though.

Both Avila and his coach had everyone returning and could have made it a special season while making the tourney. He then could have parlayed his success into a much better job than St. Louis. Both will probably end up with a very mediocre season at best next year instead of making the tourney

Schertz just got a 1.5mm raise and will take his whole team with him and likely compete at the top of the league for a bid just like he would have done in the Valley. It was a no brainer move. Who would turn that raise down? No one.

He’ll get Robbie Avila, and maybe 1-2 other starters. But I don’t expect everyone to follow, guys like Ryan Conwell are going to get a ton of interest.

Conwell has a visit with NC State
Kent and Larry visiting Texas,

Kind of expected that, SLU might get Swope but I’m pretty sure at least 3 of those guys go P5.

Hasn’t gotten an On3 prediction to go to Dayton, the percent thing doesn’t mean anything. If he decides to go there though that would be a huge pickup for the flyers.

Yes, I did also, but if Schertz can still bring in Avila and Swope not bad.
Plus returning Gibby, Hargrove, and Hughes, they can be competitive.
Biggest upgrade is Schertz over Ford.

St Louis is going to get better a lot quicker than URI.

Avila (if he goes which I assume he will) and Jimerson gonna be one hell of a one-two punch.

Is this the coming week where someone had posted there would be “news” ?

You would think we would hear something this week regarding visits, commitments, and our assistant coach.

Just one request from me in the meantime: get us another NCAAT run, Archie, however you have to do it. Let’s go!

I was at Dave’s Market earlier today. One neighbor said to me “Archie will get us to the promised land.”

Completely agreed. #trust

Really?? Talk about blind homer optimism. I see nothing, and I mean nothing, to back this up. How someone can say that after watching the team for the last two years is beyond me. But hope springs eternal and I hope this happens.

Indiana State star Robbie Avila, one of the breakout stars of the 2023-24 college basketball season, has entered the NCAA transfer portal.
Avila's portal entry is marked by a red exclamation point, which means not to reach out to him, a sign that he's already made up his mind on his destination.

Both Avila and his coach had everyone returning and could have made it a special season while making the tourney. He then could have parlayed his success into a much better job than St. Louis. Both will probably end up with a very mediocre season at best next year instead of making the tourney

I am totally with BAR here. The guy had one great season and no P5 came calling. You expect them to have a better season next season? Everyone returning? No chance that would have happened in todays environment. If not now when do you make this move? And sorry this reads alot like the A10 sucks and why would he take a job in the lowly A10. There are many worse jobs in the P5 then the St. Louis job. This goes back to the over the top negativity towards the A10 that many have on this board. Now whether he is a good coach or not, I have no idea. We will find out.

Don’t know if they’re hinting at a commitment or not.

I've decided, after much consideration, I'm entering the Fan Portal. Any College team can reach out to me and provide NIL offers. Free tickets, free beer and concessions would put them at the top of my fan list. Willing to make official visits as well. Please have a lot of swag available for me. (c/s)

Is this a secret?

To me, stealth recruiting tells me they are not confident in their position. They are fearful of competition and losing publicity. I can understand it under certain circumstances, but not as a practice. But Archie sure doesn’t seem to like high expectations…he was laying the groundwork with “we’ll be good when we are good” which could mean the next coach.

Regarding visits, more importantly…

My question is, do we still arrange all those chocolates on the hotel bed like when DC was here ?

It said:

GO RHODY

#AttitudeIsEverything // #GoRhody


Either we’re not getting a commitment. Or the coaching staff caught onto them posting that after a bunch of Rhody fans saw it and told them to take it down.


Edit: URI managers account posted it

Good thing The Masters is holding my interest today (it looks like an exciting finish is possible) otherwise, the lack of Rhody portal commitments, news, rumors and buzz would be getting me really frustrated.

Some rumors about a new assistant, too.

A string of good news around the program would be nice after last season, although Stone taking over the collective was very good news.

You missed it, didn't you? Someone want to enlighten our friend on my post?

It may just be me, but I hate it when we congratulate another team on their pick up…who gives a . I hope every other team stinks, especially our neighbors to the north…all of them. I know I would be much more willing to praise others if I felt we were holding our own.

a high school buddy of mine that used to caddy on the tour, sent me a text on Tuesday saying "Put Aberg in the mix @Augusta." I had never heard of the dude...but he turned out to be fun to watch

I have no problem with the other A10 teams (except for UMass) upping their game and getting impact players.
I want our conference to be strong and always be a multi-bid league.

We just need Archie to keep pace, no more excuses.

Yes, I am much more magnanimous when we are doing well. I am not when they are getting better and we are not. I suspect that is human nature.

DeLoach (6'9"/229) did have success in the A10 at VCU, as a soph he averaged 10 pts/ 7 rebs.
