I stayed an additional year, lived in Butterfield 72-73, then Frat. Circle.

Which Frat?? I was a kitchen boy at DZ.

NEWS: Michigan transfer Hunter Dickinson, the top player in the portal, has committed to Kansas, he tells @On3sports.

[bigappleram]

That happened yesterday and he made the corniest and cringiest announcement video ever about it.

How were the benefits at DZ?

May need to seek out a Fighting Camels t-shirt. Just because.

How does a camel fight? Does a camel have any predators after them?

They fight each other. Like cock fighting, they put two camels against each other in a "ring" of sorts.

A few years ago when they had a player leading the nation in scoring, the Eye on College Basketball podcast mentioned the school's mascot and then spent like 20 minutes discussing the sport of camel fighting. It was both interesting/informative and hilarious.

Rhody Kyle. Thks Great insight into camels. Now to U Tube to watch the fights. (Does Vegas have odds)

Just don't look up the videos where they slaughter them in public over in the middle east....(bet you can't resist)

Hot take

I think I like camels more than horses. They're just more chill and I appreciate that. Horses make me nervous.

I must've been a sultan in my past life

[Jdrums#3]

The Sultan of Swing ? The Sultan of Swat ?

That’s the extent of my sultan depth of knowledge.

ETA: Oops! Almost forgot the Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits. Good tune.

I grew up around horses (and cows). Horses are shifty/quick and can kick to a spot like a frog nabbing a fly....never trusted them. Cows are more chill, too. In either case, it's all about angles and distance

Stay away from a cow with a calf. They can be very quick in short bursts

So maybe we should become “The fighting Rams”. Is there someplace in the world that they have Ram fights?

Maybe that would give us more “tradition”

They do that naturally

We should have two live ram mascots ram each other pregame mid court before we run out of the tunnel

[Jersey77]

Oh well, Hudson following his previous coach Lanier to SMU.
Of the 4's available that we reached out to, he was one of my favorites, but a longshot.

People need to really think about how cool this could be....couple Rams ramming each other at center court with a massive explosion/light flaxh when they do...and big giant cartoon Rhody Rams rammin' each other on the big screen...

[Billyboy78]

Don't let PETA see this thread.

[damram]

Providence Journal cartoonist Frank Lanning had some awesome Ram drawings. I would like his Ram as our logo.

Whole conference will be with all the new coaches/freshman/transfers/returning talent.

Gonna be a bloodbath.

[Jersey77]

Here is a PG that we discussed earlier, I was hoping but knew he was a longshot.
He checks all the boxes and will be a great addition for the Gophers.

[jcru]

Oh, after we signed Kortright and Wright, back to back like that, there was no chance in hell of them signing another point guard.

No surprise here, just a matter of what other team was going to take him.

My guess is that Archie doesn't like undersized PGs. To each their own, he's going to make the meal, so let him pick his own groceries. Doesn't bode well for Tyson Wheeler's son.

I was hoping for him prior to us getting Luis and Always

[bigappleram]

As was I. And not sure Archie has something against undersized PGs as he was one himself. He's 5'11. We just didn't land him or didn't want him.

Didn't someone here say Tyson's kid isn't even close to a D1 prospect?

We're not a charity, can't be offering kids just because of family connections.

[jcru]

Oh, really? I guess I was confused after the Bassy signing. Carry on.

[jcru]

btw, 15...

"Doesn't bode well for Tyson Wheeler's son"

Does NOT mean:

"I want to sign Tyson Wheeler's son"

You have to bridge those two statements together, and I didn't make that bridge.

Come on, you insinuated Archie won't want him because he's small.

[jcru]

Now you are holding me to insinuations?? C'mon. I'm being sarcastic there.

Do you have any sense of humor whatsoever?

Johnnies going to be competitive this year, nice!

Pitino wanted to come here but the majority of this board wanted David Cox and his 6 star recruiting class. How did that work out Kyle and the others that wanted to ban me from the board for being so pro Pitino and anti Cox. I accepted that but for all of you that wanted no part of Pitino don't be so hypocritical and praise him for what he's now doing at St. John's and what he did at Iona. It could have been us. That being said, we have a first class coach who I believe can get it done. Unfortunately the playing field will never be level again, if in fact it ever was.

[OnTheMoneyRam]

URI has bumbled the ball a few times by not hiring Tyson Wheeler as an assistant coach. There has always been only upside for a move lkike this and no downside.

[theblueram]

So when are we hiring Preston Murphy?

[Billyboy78]

So when are we hiring Preston Murphy?

If we want to get back into the New England prep scene, he would be a welcome addition. And he's from Michigan. Austin is from Mass. What a difference that would make.

Let's be clear...I am not part of the "wanted no part of P:itino" crowd (can't believe I had to even say it )

Don’t see why we wouldn’t want to get back into the NE prep scene.

Ridiculous amount of talent.

[NYGFan_Section208]

who was the recruit that was here today?

ETA...are they still "recruits"? Or, are they all just free agents now?

That's Austin Carroll's region. Nothing to show for it.

Free agents, that get a full ride, and get NIL money, nice set up if ya can get it.

I say next year when Austin falls flat on his face again getting outworked for recruits in New England AGAIN

Fuck it even call up the Brewster Prep HC Jason Smith and see if he wants the assistant job he’d be a better asset at landing NE talent

I went back to my post about Pitino responding to you. Nowhere did I say anything about running you off the board.

Kudos on holding a grudge for this long, though (I even said that in my one post to you about Slick Rick). In the wise words of Don Draper, "I don't think about you at all."

Can we please stop this? No matter if everyone or no one here wanted Pitino, the President of the University at the time who had the decision was a solid no and a hard pass, so it wasn't going to happen.

Personally, I would have loved it for a couple of reasons - he would have kept the winning going (assuming he really was a legit candidate at the time and not some pipe dream) and second, the mental gymnastics friar fans would have had to have gone through to either root for their "nonrival" or root against their beloved former coach from 35 years ago would have been the highest of high comedy.

I also knew it was a nonstarter b/c the person in charge was dead against it.

[jcru]

After what "Muskrat Bramble" put this University through, I'm not surprised that a URI President was a road block to immediate basketball success.

[Ramfan22]

Definitely keeping my eye out for a few names. Players need to submit the paperwork by the 11th so you may still see some players officially enter after that too.

[RhodyKyle]

I know the rule is that a school has 48 hours to get the kid in the portal after being notified by the kid of their wish to transfer. Is the 11th the deadline to actually get into the portal or the deadline to notify the school of the intent to transfer?
