Ya, that's Ways. The kid is athletic. My favorite part was Fuchs with a nice post move and finish. How many times did our big men miss wide-open layups last year? It was brutal..KevanBoyles wrote: ↑10 months agoIs it Ways that can jump and touch the top bar on the pole??? How high is that???

Awesome...bigappleram wrote: ↑10 months ago Was able to catch practice last week…team is athletic, strong looking and what immediately jumps out is more experienced. Guys like Kortright, Montgomery, Green, House have played a lot of games. They look like men out there. From that standpoint will be night and day from last season.
Green really impressed me and I’d guess if eligible he is the opening night 4 man. A 3 and D type guy who is rugged and strong. Nice looking stroke from 3, should excel in pick and pop situations. Will get boards on both sides of floor.
I would guess Montgomery is our most complete player by seasons end. House is a bull in a China shop type. He’s going to take some ill advised shots amongst the trees but he is going to get his points. He’s built like an FBS running back and kinda plays like that.
Wright and Estevez also impressed in different ways. Always is a facilitator and looks to make others better, good passer and looks more for others especially in transition. He’s a bit skinny and will take some time but he looked pretty good.
Interior will be the big question mark. Fuchs, Foumena and Brown are where we don’t have tons of experience. I don’t have a guess how that rotation shakes out.
If I had to guess Dubsky is either a RS candidate or won’t be here next year. He seemed pretty far behind the rest of rotation. But it’s only 1 practice so who the hell knows.

Two words… mental health.ramster wrote: ↑10 months agoWhy would Green get a Waiver? What is he using for justification? I thought they were not allowed anymore. If they start granting Waivers for no reason then the whole thing will unravel again just like before.Jersey77 wrote: ↑10 months agoProbably not because he didn't enroll until after the season.
I think the only probable A10 player to get a slam dunk waiver is (PF) Woody Newton who transferred to GM from Oklahoma State. He is returning close to home to be near his family since the recent death of his father.
The others may have a more difficult time but holding out hope for Green.

Not sure why every kid isn’t using this. There is no counter the NCAA can come back with. People are threatening physical harm, discussing emotional stress, etc. it’s become a hotbed topic. Almost common place. This is the angle I would play if I’m trying to get a waiver.

I love this. Guys should debase themselves and make light of life threatening mental health crises while potentially diverting care and resources from people actually in crisis in order to game the transfer system. As a result, the college athletics transfer system should be skeptical of such situations and default to denying relief for people claiming to be in crisis to prevent against the obvious travesty and injustice that is just letting a kid play basketball where they want.Rhody72 wrote: ↑10 months agoGo to the college infirmary and ask to see a psychiatrist because you may kill yourself if you stay there any longer because you hate the school, the athletic program and the coaches.

I'll talk Rhody Hoops 24/7.
He only said the quiet part out loud - people are abusing the system all the time. Does everyone really NEED an emotional support dog (or pony)? Most people just WANT that and use the system in place to bend rules around no animals allowed. Just an example btw - see tons of other is see examples of this all over the place. Rules mean very little anymore when you can make an excuse to not follow them.TruePoint wrote: ↑10 months agoI love this.

Fantastic. As diseased of a brain as you will find on the whole internet. Truly sick person.
How self righteous and condescending can you be in one post, quite a bit obviously. Let me guess, you are an attorney correct? Your observation is not my observation or many others. To just call people paranoid because they think the mental illness card is being abused is absurd. You remind me of the people that think they are open minded yet will shut down anybody from speaking that dare does not agree with them. Some open mindedness there for sure. Abuse in this area is rampant and I know this first hand. It is used commonly by anybody who does something stupid, like dude it is not my fault I have mental health issues if I am not doing my job, not showing up for work, being a pain in the ass when I do, or going on an alcohol and drug binge. Personal responsibility has gone the way of the dinosaur in America in 2023. Fact. And don't judge me bros goes in lock step with this. Before we would hold each other accountable but don't judge me bros is the new mantra. How about ADHD and the abuse there when it comes to taking the SAT. Documented evidence that many people claiming (and getting approval from doctors which is not very hard to do) ADHD to take advantage of untimed tests were gaming the system.TruePoint wrote: ↑10 months ago Are you sure “most people” that avail themselves of services and accommodations are abusing the rules?

It seems obvious to me that most of these types of accommodations and services exist because society recognized a need for them, meaning that there was a population out there that would benefit from them.
In my observation, most of the abuse of these systems is perpetrated by paranoid people who mistakenly assume that others are abusing them and don’t want to be “disadvantaged”, like how almost all voting crimes are committed by people who mistakenly believe that others are cheating. I really don’t think the risk of abuse is as high as you seem to assume, in fact I think the prevalence of actual abuse is almost certainly sub-marginal. I do wonder about the minds of people who assume that type of abuse is more prevalent than it actually is, though. Paranoid is a word that’s definitely in the mix, but that is probably only scratching the surface of the psychological stuff that is going on there.

This in no way makes light of mental illness. It is a major issue in America, even more so now with all of the Social Media out there. But both can be true, that there are many people that have genuine mental illness that need help and there are others that use it as an excuse or for a benefit when no mental illness exists.
Wait a second, you're asking for actual data and facts to back up something a person posted on this board??? Cmon, that's not fair.

I'm still all in on Weston. Looking/hoping for a big leap from him this season.

I hope so. He has so much freaking talent. I always wondered why Archie didn't play him more last year, but from the rumblings I hear at practice, he doesn't have that killer instinct that the team is looking for. Zek does, and he will likely be our starting wing. You can only push a player so far. Eventually, they need to want it. If Green doesn't get the waiver, I think Weston will have more minutes. If he does Green will start at the 4, and Weston will come off the bench. I was higher on Weston than any other player last year, so trust me Adam I'm gonna be heartbroken if he doesn't pan out. He's looked too good in certain moments!adam914 wrote: ↑10 months agoI'm still all in on Weston. Looking/hoping for a big leap from him this season.

Going to cut him some slack last season, first time he’s played in college and was coming off of injuries. Definitely showed some flashes, hope he has a breakout year this season and is a key part of the team.Jersey77 wrote: ↑10 months agoYeah, agree with all of you on Weston.steveystuds06 wrote: ↑10 months agoI hope so.

Maybe not being the leading scorer last season because coming back from his injury issues, but felt he had the most natural ability, talent, and upside of any player on our team.
I certainly hope he can put it all together, guess we will have to wait and see.

He's looked too good in certain moments!

Supposedly transferred to be closer to his mother who has a medical condition. Obviously we don't know everything here, but it looks like the NCAA is going to be tough with these second transfers
The article points out though that the emphasis is on personal reasons for transferring, not family issues. It's callous and dumb (like everything else the NCAA does), but with the coaching change Green was forced out. His reason is personal.RhowdyRam02 wrote: ↑9 months agoMore backstory on the two big NCAA transfer waiver denials:jcru wrote: ↑10 months agoThe NCAA isn't the sharpest, they may have denied him simply because the school he moved to was in the same state.RhowdyRam02 wrote: ↑10 months ago
I'm not optimistic Green will get the waiver after this:

I think we need to assume at this point that Green will not be playing for us this year
You're showing your brilliance. Can you show me where I said any of that?steveystuds06 wrote: ↑10 months agoYes, come on, everyone...This isn't a place where people come to unwind and relax to talk Rhody hoops. You obviously should be expecting detailed PowerPoint presentations in every post, complete with intricate data breakdowns and KPIs.

Cmon, that's not fair. People should be allowed to post broad, sweeping statements and if called out on it, just tell you "I don't need no stinkin' data. I've got my anecdotes."TruePoint wrote: ↑10 months ago So would you agree that “most people” with a service dog have no legitimate need for one? And if you agree, can you show me any support for that idea that goes beyond observational or anecdotal or “a hunch”? What about suicide crisis and prevention resources? Is there evidence that “most people” that utilize this type of resource are in fact college athletes who have used up all their “free” transfers and are looking to pull one over on the NCAA by pretending to be in crisis, since that was the original claim that I took exception to?
