I don't see it as being in limbo, more like just a growing process.
I look at our talented young players, understand the difficulty of finding immediate success with a new roster, and actually feel good about our future.

I'm thinking from now until the start of next season is limbo. I don't believe we'll see a massive change in direction (towards more consistent success) this year. Good grief, I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

I also don't necessarily think there will be a massive change in direction this season, but Archie and staff will continue to teach and work with the players which will hopefully carry into the off-season and 24-25.
If we see some real positive growth prior to the end of the season, that will be a plus.

Got nothing against Bassy. Good luck to him. He’s dropped down to a level that enables him to start. Miller would have him buried deep on the bench and likely told him so.

I turned on my TV the other night to see Leggett brick a wide open layup against Duke. I’m likin Kortwright better too right now.

Cox is gone I think we have a guy now who knows what he’s doing.

And people wonder why I post the way I post sometimes.

It’s because of dumbass posts like this.

“Oh I saw Leggett miss a layup against a blue blood, I’d definitely rather have Kortright who may be the most unathletic point guard we’ve had here.”

Just an incredibly wrong take.

Yep wrong take…

It’s also an ancient history take in basketball terms.

I’d probably trade this whole crew for Leggett after the multiple debacles subsequent to this post.

I remember incredibly that a poster said Leggett was a Division 2 player in March and the next season Leggett was our best player and just missed making all conference.

Correct, Leggett was absolutely trash his sophomore year.

Worked his ass off in the summer into the fall and improved tremendously.

Ace made it sound like many coaches were reaching out to Hurley in the immediate aftermath of Cox getting fired to hear from him what he thought about our job and he had nothing but good things to say to the coaches reaching out to him. Could Archie have been one of those coaches that reached out to Hurley to get more info? It wouldn't surprise me

I would think that he did for sure , DH has nothing but love for Rhody and who knows maybe he coaches again here in his late 60s early 70s to finish it all up

I was never more fired up when Hurley was hired since Harrick. Although I was pretty fired up when we hired Miller. He needs to get his ass in gear.

Same with me I was so pumped up with DH and same with Arch but I’m a little down on Arch right now

sevegny7 wrote: ↑3 months ago While looking at some games to potentially sports bet I came across a name I forgot about.

Ex recruit for URI Elijah Wood.


He has resurfaced to play very limited minutes for St Peter's. Last few games seems like his playing is increasing a little but he is not used much for them.

He is listed as a junior. Did not play last year but was on st peters roster (most likely had to sit out after double transfer rule) and played at EIU in 2022.

What a shame how far he has fallen.

Completely wild to me he’s actually in the league.

Pretty sure everyone here (me included) laughed at the transfer, said he was going to Kentucky off his last name, and he was crazy to think he’d get to the league.

Granted the Knicks are decimated by injuries, but props to him for working and getting significant time in a game.

Then there were others that were such big fans when he was here, they actually made a "Toppin Time" sign to bring to games (that still sits here at the desk, leaning against the printer). Awesome to see him getting it done.

Everyone failed to dance that season.

We were an 8/9 seed till we lost a few late in the year.

So you're saying, if there was a NCAAT, we would have had to won the A10 Tournament, correct?

Of course we don't know for sure.
If we would beat Richmond in the semis and a close loss to Dayton in the finals maybe an at-large.

No. In 98, we had on the team Cat, Tyson and Odom(although he couldn't play). All three spent time in the NBA.

98. He was eligible for 99 and made the game winning three against Temple in the A10 Tournament.

That’s what I meant, but you never really see or hear of him in 98. I know he was ineligible.

If you were on campus when Harrick landed him, you heard about Odom. Number 1 recruit. Think he was Number 4 when he got here. Campus was going crazy back then.
