Minneapolis is a cool city, great music vibe, pro sports, etc. But it is dam cold, though not sure RI connotes warm weather to anyone either.

Before you slam Lubbuck you should investigate their pool of coeds. In that case they likely have RI beat.

Posted: **Fri Apr 26, 2013 1:37 pm**

I wonder if Mike Powell and this kid know each other.

Posted: **Fri Apr 26, 2013 2:49 pm**

Minneapolis hasn't been the same without Mary Richards and Lou Grant.

what about Prince?

I believe that Bob Dylan and Kevin McHale are from that area too.

I thought the same thing about hare in that video

I'm not sure if you meant to link to that picture (which I think is a reference to a video game) or the next one....the next one is a pretty amazing clay carving of Stewie Griffin from Family Guy which clearly states he wants to come to Ri....we hope.

Posted: **Sun Apr 28, 2013 7:41 am**

Maybe Stewie can host the visit.

Posted: **Sun Apr 28, 2013 1:53 pm**

lookin at his tweets my guess is he will be going to TT. but you never know

That isn't a reference to a video game. It is a referemce to Texas Tech. That "guns up" thing is their thing, like "hook 'em horns" or "roll tide."

Foster also plans to visit San Jose State and Rhode Island next week.

Posted: **Fri May 03, 2013 1:01 pm**

Sounds like he's sold on Tubby ....

Posted: **Fri May 03, 2013 2:51 pm**

He hasn't cancelled his other visits, so let Dan have his shot at this kid. He could have signed an LOI when he was at TT but he didn't. I wouldn't say he's totally committed to them just yet.

Posted: **Fri May 03, 2013 3:17 pm**

True, Billyboy!
As they say in Dan Hurley's other favorite sport, "He's got a puncher's chance of winning this one!"

Posted: **Thu May 09, 2013 11:39 am**

Sounds of silence on Foster, and everyone else, too..
If he does come here, I hope the weather is better
than this.
Six days until LOI period ends.

Posted: **Thu May 09, 2013 11:40 am**

He's seen far worse weather in Chicago than he'll ever see here (unless we have a hurricane). I still think he's going with Tubby.

Posted: **Thu May 09, 2013 7:10 pm**

This has been a very quite signing period. I keep expecting something unexpected to happen (if that makes sense).

Posted: **Thu May 09, 2013 9:37 pm**

Per a Source: Go ask Alex Kline….

Posted: **Fri May 10, 2013 9:53 am**

Well Rod, it sure looks like Dan isn't going to sign anybody, just for the sake of signing anybody.

Since it's beginning to look like he's striking out on the specific guys he wants, maybe it's better to just wait and fill the open spots next season.

Maybe there will be a last minute surprise, or maybe not. Like has been said, maybe academics has been the fly in the ointment this recruiting period.

Posted: **Fri May 10, 2013 10:56 am**

How do you know he's not signing anyone?
Not much talk anywhere, but who knew about Oneykaba,
before he showed up on campus?
If he doesn't, it's no gret loss, as the 2014 class is a very good one,
and we'd have 3 scholarships instead of one.
I'd rather see that than bring in someone like Icky Er.

Posted: **Fri May 10, 2013 4:31 pm**

Per a Source: Get a clue! This EXACTLY what that nonsense was about "professionals and sources and crystal ball-gazers and their freakin' mothers-in-law!!!!"
NO ONE KNOWS UNTIL TYHE HEAD COACH, DAN HURLEY, AND THE PROSPECTIVE RECRUIT AND HIS PARENTS AND/OR GUARDIANS SEAL THE FRAPPIN' DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We'll all find out, soon enough….

Posted: **Sun May 12, 2013 10:24 pm**

Was he in for a visit this weekend??

Posted: **Mon May 13, 2013 10:23 am**

Daniel Poneman ‏@SwagAir 10 May
Just heard former Minnesota commit Alex Foster had a great visit to San Jose State last weekend #MountainWestConference

Posted: **Mon May 13, 2013 10:38 am**

LOI deadline is Wednesday.
Guess this isn't happening?

Posted: **Mon May 13, 2013 10:48 am**

I believe you don't have to sign a LOI to play for a school

Posted: **Mon May 13, 2013 11:03 am**

Then why all the national hysteria over Andrew Wiggins making his
choice before Wednesday?

Posted: **Mon May 13, 2013 11:19 am**

It's the last chance to sign a letter of intent, but a player who hasn't signed can still enroll in the summer.

Posted: **Tue May 14, 2013 1:13 pm**

Thinking about it, i assume that the May 15 deadline is so that there is a cutoff for the constant recruitment stuff; once the kid finishes high school, i think he much like a "free agent".

Didn't VCU sign the 4 star Melvin Johnson(St Benedicts) last year in July(although he did decommit from Miami; and didn't we enroll Ifeanyi in Seeptember last year.

I like the idea of Hurley keeping a scholly open for these kinds of unforeseen circumstances.

Posted: **Tue May 14, 2013 1:18 pm**

Well, it looks like two scholarships remain open,
plus one for next year.
If we can't land a stud, I'd rather save them for 2014.
Looks like this kid never visited, and likely won't.

Posted: **Tue May 14, 2013 2:00 pm**

I hope he does get to campus. Would love for Dan to get a shot at this kid. Would be a great add for us.

Posted: **Tue May 14, 2013 2:18 pm**

He's on campus NOW!

Posted: **Tue May 14, 2013 2:29 pm**

Awesome! Well, we got the visit. Now just sit back and wait, I suppose.

Posted: **Tue May 14, 2013 2:33 pm**

Getting the last visit can sometimes be a good thing.

Posted: **Tue May 14, 2013 2:34 pm**

Wish the sun would come out!

Posted: **Tue May 14, 2013 2:41 pm**

Am told by a very reliable source, that we have a legitimate shot at Foster.

Posted: **Tue May 14, 2013 3:07 pm**

Rod has excellent sources on these things. Listen to Rod!

Posted: **Tue May 14, 2013 3:21 pm**

If we land Foster, it would be the greatest recruiting cycle in URI history.
Might be, anyway!

I thought it was close to that anyway.

Posted: **Tue May 14, 2013 3:52 pm**

I said that to Kmac, today, and he's pooh poohing it.
Also saying we don't want Foster.
Must be why he's here, right?

Getting the last shot, is almost always what a good salesman wants. If Foster is here for the 48 hours that is permitted, it means that Hurley has the last shot, on the last day.

You cannot do any better than that!

Hurley is everything we think of him!

Posted: **Tue May 14, 2013 10:20 pm**

The one downside to the timing of this visit is that the team all went home just a few days ago.

Ugh! Forgive me, not local anymore, semester over?
