Re: The Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel 2023-24
We have so many holes on the roster that we basically need anyone with a pulse than can play. Like right now, we have one player (Ish) that is a clear starter for 2023-24, assured of playing 30+ MPG. Everyone else is a question mark for one reason or another. Yeah, we need guys with all-A10 potential, but you can't assume you're going to recruit 4 of them in one off-season. Having some decent players, even if they're only going to be here for a year and provide average production, is probably needed at this point just from a program stability standpoint. Much like Hurley's first year, I think Miller's first year featured a lot of guys getting a ton of minutes because of a lack of any alternative options on the roster.

Archie needs to put his stamp on this program and up our game.

Re: The Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel 2023-24
I am fine with more lower ceiling, higher floor recruits this year. It would be best if those guys had a few years left of eligibility so we can surround them the year after with the super high ceiling guys.Jersey77 wrote: ↑1 year agoI don't know SG, I am expecting players with more than just a pulse and average or so-so production.SGreenwell wrote: ↑1 year ago We have so many holes on the roster that we basically need anyone with a pulse than can play.

Re: The Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel 2023-24
With the misses with Freeman and Harris this year not being 3 year type contributors, next year is another potentially year zero of a rebuild. I do hope Ish stays and I'd be happy if Carey opted for a fifth year to help bridge the gap. I really don't want anyone to transfer, though there are a couple of players that probably could be replaced by a better athlete.

Cannot give Archie another pass next season. It’ll be year 2.

We must see much improvement and feel optimistic about the program going forward.
The difficult thing about finding major impact grad-transfers is that they want to go to a program where they can immediately compete for conference championships and post-season play.
I don't see that happening for us next season.

He took a chance, odds ended up against him, but we would be having a very different conversation if Harris/Freeman/Bilau all played out how it could have. I give Archie a small pass.

To those quoting me - please reread my post:
"With the misses with Freeman and Harris this year not being 3 year type contributors, next year is another potentially year zero of a rebuild. I do hope Ish stays and I'd be happy if Carey opted for a fifth year to help bridge the gap. I really don't want anyone to transfer, though there are a couple of players that probably could be replaced by a better athlete."
At no point did I ever write giving Miller a pass. You are inferring something I did not imply.

Harris had some red flags, but Archie felt he was worth the risk, don't really blame him for taking the chance.Rhodymob05 wrote: ↑1 year ago He took a chance, odds ended up against him, but we would be having a very different conversation if Harris/Freeman/Bilau all played out how it could have.

At the time no real issues with Bray and everyone felt he was a steal, shit happens.
Also, injuries happen, just unfortunate with Bilau.
But now we have 23-24 to be concerned with and we need to expect much more from this staff and our team.

"next year is another potentially year zero of a rebuild," makes it sound like you're giving him a pass for this year. That's how I felt reading it anyway, almost like this year didn't count

So what does that mean? Are you advocating for him to be fired if we struggle to win 10 games next year?

Re: The Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel 2023-24
There are certainly a lot of question marks on this team for next season , but there are a few guys who could be answers that are on the roster now .
First of all , Foumena could be a major contributor next season if fully healthy and combined with a healthy Bilau . Weston was beginning to show promise . Stewart was also showing some promise . If this group of returning players are able to improve significantly which wouldn't be unheard of
then with the additions of Dubsky , Estevez and a third high level recruit , this team could be night and day better than this year's team . We will have
to see how it all plays out , but there may be light at the end of the tunnel sooner than we think .

You want Archie to sell these impact transfers on coming to URI? For what? We certainly aren’t giving them NIL money. We aren’t exactly close to winning the A10. There’s limited selling points folks, wake up to reality.
Your best bet is getting solid players, putting together a respectable season next year, and using that as a recruiting carrot to dangle for 2024-2025

Barring multiple early season ending injuries, no way should this team struggle to win 10 games. A .500 record should be the goal.

Re: The Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel 2023-24
Dambrot was able to attract transfers to Duquesne a season after they won 1 game. Neptune/Urgo were able to get Quisenberry and then Khalid Moore, both impact transfers, to Fordham of all places. It happens everywhere. Coaches have relationships and great coaches are salesmen that can convince a kid they can help them achieve their goals. I have to imagine Archie is trying to package some kids together and make it easier to see the potential improvement if they commit. For Archie, Kenny, Duane and Austin this is go time.KingstonLane wrote: ↑1 year agoThis is what I don’t think people understand.

It sure feels unlikely that they won't be able to pull some damn talent here. Archie, Kenny and Duane have done nothing but coach countless players better than anyone on our current roster.

These are types guys we are absolutely after and guys we can definitely land. But if you scroll up in this thread apparently we’re too good for these guys?

Re: The Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel 2023-24
People keep pointing to Foumena as a possible impact player next season, and yea anything is possible, but I suspect these same people will defend him if he is underwhelming with he sat out a year and bigs take time to develop…so which is it? He’s going to be a significant contributor or are we going to hear basically the same excuse(s) we had for half our team playing poorly this year? Unless Archie brings in some day 1 ready bigs, a lot is riding on him at least being decent right out the gate.

I would take Justin Wright, also NCCU did pretty good in the MEAC.
"NC Central G Justin Wright has entered the transfer portal. 16.1 PPG/5.1 RPG/41% 3pt. Two years eligibility."

Re: The Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel 2023-24
I think I have to agree with 15 here, and that hardly ever happens. Arch has a pass this year based on what he had to work with and player injuries. However, after having a year to make assessments of the players and ability to recruit new players, I would not give e him a pass for next season either.
I have heard from players family members that they may not have been impressed with his in game coaching, that he only scolded but did not coach the players up. I cannot confirm that with my own eyes/ears, but 2 different family members relayed similar concern.

It's a good question..."Cannot give Archie another pass next season. It’ll be year 2." What does that mean? And if URI is 13-17 next year, then what? What's your reaction? Something should be done about Archie?Rhody15 wrote: ↑1 year agoYea man, totally want him to get fired after 2 years. You got it.
Barring multiple early season ending injuries, no way should this team struggle to win 10 games. A .500 record should be the goal.
I realize everyone wants to wave the "Magic Portal and Impact Freshman Wand" around the program so URI can instantly be an upper tier program. But please, just give the guy 4 years and then pass judgement. Let the man do his work.

No pass from me. Freeman was not a good year 1 choice. Needed to set a foundational tone for the program before bringing in a wildcard.Rhodymob05 wrote: ↑1 year ago He took a chance, odds ended up against him, but we would be having a very different conversation if Harris/Freeman/Bilau all played out how it could have. I give Archie a small pass.

If we’re 13-17 or something like that I’d assume we’ve gotten better players, our current players have developed, and on an upward trajectory.PlayMikeMotenMore wrote: ↑1 year agoIt's a good question..."Cannot give Archie another pass next season.

Re: The Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel 2023-24
I think he just means that he would probably receive some criticism if it is another terrible season like this one with no growth. Archie didn’t receive any criticism and he got one of those what could you do it wasn’t his fault with he walked into. I think the portal and whoever he brings in is the key. Archie will be here at least 4 years no later happens next season.Bos8 wrote: ↑1 year agoSo then again, I ask... what is the significance of you saying you wont give him a pass? What does that even mean?

What happened to all the players who entered the portal last season and didn’t find a new home? Did most go back to the original school? I’m hoping that this will die down some if only about 50% of the players actually find new home’s consistently for a few years and enough have a negative outcome.

Re: The Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel 2023-24
Ant Harris was a massive fail. Any other opinion is absurd. It’s a generational fail in URI hoops history IMHO.
I’m sure Miller is aware and is working hard on the trail to erase the debacle that was 22/23.
Next season I’m expecting a 180 turnaround. A10 is cupcake city at the moment.

Re: The Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel 2023-24
Without players transferring than you are fine with status quo or maybe 12 to 13 wins. There is not good young talent on this roster. They won’t be able to shoot again next year. Anyone really want Samb back?steviep123 wrote: ↑1 year ago With the misses with Freeman and Harris this year not being 3 year type contributors, next year is another potentially year zero of a rebuild. I do hope Ish stays and I'd be happy if Carey opted for a fifth year to help bridge the gap. I really don't want anyone to transfer, though there are a couple of players that probably could be replaced by a better athlete.

We currently have space for 1 additional player if everyone returns.
