I’m sure there’s some truth to that, but if I was leaving my job because I didn’t like my boss I wouldn’t be referring to him as “family” and a “father figure” on the way out the door, a la Martin.

Re: Jermaine Harris
Not that I can remember, but on the flip side if someone was leaving a program because they hated the coach they wouldn’t be going out of their way to praise the guy publicly and call him a “father figure”. The player would most likely leave without saying anything at all. That’s still taking the high road.theblueram wrote: ↑4 years agoCan you site some recent examples of transfers that told their former coaches to go fuck themselves?

Just to confirm... We are illogical because we feel that the head coach of our program should be criticized for our collapse and transfers?

Re: Jermaine Harris
I would definitely agree with that NJ but the problem is Tyrese is one of many transfers. This is not a one off situation. I think they all love him personally but for whatever reason they don't want to play for Cox.NJRhodyFan wrote: ↑4 years agoNot that I can remember, but on the flip side if someone was leaving a program because they hated the coach they wouldn’t be going out of their way to praise the guy publicly and call him a “father figure”.

That’s a fair point. Cox is definitely the common denominator.

Re: Jermaine Harris
No inside info but I would think J. Harris is having 2nd thoughts.
Points made here and in other threads about player’s should be loyal to Cox after he was hired to retain them and backed them are well thought out.
I’m struggling to recall one occasion where Cox or anyone on the staff said anything negative publicly about Jermaine.
He’s really still in a good place IMHO. Starting over somewhere else would be extremely difficult.
I’m optimistic about likelihood he stays.
retain Jermaine bring in Berry and the twins and a strong perimeter shooter to come off the bench and we’re still in business.
Encouraging to see the few posters who regularly crushed Harris here mercilessly have held their tongues.
No question he’s struggled in Cox’s high post offense but I don’t believe he’s ever been healthy and I know he can play.
Stay and play JH!

Re: Jermaine Harris
We saw bursts of the player he could be this year - work hard this summer and he will be in a very good position for success.
He will eventually hit those threes - he is a good shooter from the perimeter just had some bad luck and then lost some confidence.

Re: Jermaine Harris
I get the feeling he was leaning toward leaving, but was talked out of it.
Cox I'm sure talked to him, and hopefully he's talked to Jacob and the 2 recruits, and Berry and others as well.
That is desperation...how sad it's come to this point.

Big men develop slowly in many cases. Harris is tall and strong. He needs more playing time than a measly 15 minutes per game. During post season one-on-one player reviews for sure this topic came up between Harris and Cox. If I'm Harris I need to know exactly where I stand because obviously there are loads of opportunities out there and when the immediate eligibility gets approved in April "Katy bar the door"

Re: Jermaine Harris
Harris is also such a good free throw shooter...I'd love to see him and Toppin take it to the rim more and generate contact and potential and 1s. Also, I've mentioned this before - I would like to see Harris use that hook shot more. If he can use it, he'll be nearly unstoppable.

Re: Jermaine Harris
He has made progress with his strength, lateral movement, and defensive positioning. Think of his movement this past year, compared to his freshman year. Big men develop slower as they develop strength.
.....If I remember correctly he had plantar fasciitis as a freshman. That doesn't just go away, it comes and goes. That why he may be most effective early in games. I had it, and it can limit jumping.
.....No question in my mind that he is key to the defense next year.

Re: Jermaine Harris
VCU fans are an odd bunch. They are pretty cocky. I don't necessarily have an issue with that as their team has generally backed it up with success on the court. Their school has managed its program very well, especially given the many coaching changes. VCU has invested heavily in its program and their fans sell out every game. There is much for them to be proud of. I have found however that a large part of their fan base is pretty thin-skinned. They do not take losing very well and they are very much perturbed by the fact that URI for some reason has owned them over the last five seasons. I believe this is the main reason many seem to hate URI.theblueram wrote: ↑4 years ago#1 VCU fans are idiots. If they think URI going through this is good for them having a top 3 A10 team crumble oh well. It is not good for the conference.
#2 Dayton fans are pretty classy and are questioning like us what the hell is going on.
As mentioned, the downfall of a program like URI is not good for them or the league. It further weakens the entire A-10 and makes it even more difficult to get an NCAA at large bid for all its members. It myself was not cheering for VCU's big decline this past season for a similar reason. It very much lessened the significance of Rhody's sweep of them. VCU fans should be wary these days. The A-10 is getting less bids now and their Rams have had very mediocre seasons in two of the last three seasons. The recent trends are not good for them or for URI.

We need to get/hire a big man coach to work with Harris and all our bigs next year.
It's critical for their development and our success. Then going
forward if the bigs we recruit see we actually invest in some
thing to help them develop and succeed they might even
come here. If it that means one of our existing assistants needs to
go then so be it.

Re: Jermaine Harris
I don’t believe we do. The thought was Coach Carroll was going to do that, but I don’t think it’s his role as special advisor. We had Reynolds Dean and he worked really well with Hass, Berry and Iverson, but we are doing our Big Men a disservice by not providing them this coaching. I hope they identify someone and get the appropriate funds to pay...that is key. This would be the single best coaching add we can make.McRam wrote: ↑4 years agoAgree, do you think we have that coach on the current staff?TheGhostOfDH wrote: ↑4 years agoHe needs a coach to help him improve his footwork...confidence will come, but we have no one coaching are big men...period.

Re: Jermaine Harris
I’m thinking a thirty something former player who had a cup of coffee in the nba or who played overseas , has aged out and still wants to stay around the game and start a second career. Some one who can put on his gear and show our guys. Take the ball and say... defend me... this is How you move your feet, this is how you body up, now you try. etc,etc etc. There has got to be guys like that available. Find someone and pay them!! It will pay big dividends!! Just f’ing Do it!
