True point,
I agree with you when you say you don't get making a big deal out of Preston Murphy leaving. I understand you feeling this way. I will not call you dumb for it. This is a message board and all are entitled to their opinions.
I have mine as you know but I get called dumb for it. Pretty well blasted yesterday.
But I will stand for what I said yesterday regardless of how dumb you think I am.
This to me is not a "par for the course in college basketball and sports in general" event.
I admit that I live and breath URI sports in general and particularly basketball and football so I have my prejudices, but this to me is a crossroads decision, a major point in the pathway of the university of Rhode Island basketball program.
Great URI basketball player and leader on the court
And off the court
One of our own
Future D1 head coach in the making
Great recruiter
Well respected by players, students, administration and alumni
Established pipeline to michigan that will be greatly diminished with his departure
Recruited jordan hare - of course many here don't think near of much of him as I do but I will rue the day that Jordan leaves uri since I think he has great ability - I know call me dumb
Is involved with many strong players in the 2015 class
Recruited the A10 freshman of the year
Recruited a top notch point guard who could challenge for all A10 freshman team in 2015
On
And
On
So if I am making too big a deal out of losing a guy like Preston Murphy to Boston college then I apologize. But I will not change my opinion because you think it is dumb.
Hopefully URI administration is seeing it more my way than your way and we will get to keep him.
If not I sincerely hope many other the past two days are right and this is not a big deal--------
I think it is a big, big deal and always will.
Call me dumb, stupid, ignorant, whatever.......it is who I am.
