Yeah but same thing with Jordan Hare. I don't remember all this bellyaching when Dan told him to GTFO before the first game of year 2.

Sponge Holton was stealing laptops and was a general garbage human being.

And again, with money all things are possible. https://rhodyexcellence.com/join/. You can find big guys who aren't uncoachable and aren't scumbags (Hare/Holton being scumbags, I don't think Fou is a scumbag, just uncoachable, to be clear).

As best I remember Holton toed the line atWestVirginia and is doing well in Europe. Sometimes they simply grow up!

My SSO for URI was locked because I didn't do a required training, and I have 35 papers and 35 Mid-terms to correct.
I am having a minor procedure on Friday which disallows any alcohol for 5 days prior to anesthesia.
Almost everyone on our team has entered the portal
KJ was spotted having dinner with Pitino, and is the talk of the Georgetown board as their next assistant coach.

What else can go wrong?

If we loose both Hammond and Farrell, Rhody Rehab is preparing and gearing up for all service delivery sites.

That’s one reason why we value SteveyStuds. He watches high school games and provides excellent observations.

Kenny coached at Paul VI and for Team Takeover, Ben's teams. He was coming here because of Kenny.

Hammond has already removed the pic of himself in a Rhody uniform on twitter, although it's still there in IG. Does that mean anything? Who knows? And pretty soon for me, it's going to be, who cares?

Was the Rhody uniform taken down in the last two days?

Who the fuck will want to come here?

If KJ does leave hopefully he convinces Hammond and Farrell to stay.

At least for a year anyway.

Let's face it, this program has become a train wreck on top of a dumpster fire

Would money even fix this? Getting an entirely new team for next season could happen.

Can't wait. NOT.
Why would KJ tell his recruits “I know I’m leaving to a better program but you guys should definitely stay at this middling A10 school.”

That’s not happening.
There aren’t many programs worse than ours right now but Georgetown is probably 1 of them. Plus they have Epps and Brumbaugh taking minutes at the 1 unless they both leave that doesn’t feel like a fit for Hammond.

Brumbaugh transferring.

Thanks Ramster,

Ya the biggest reason I was excited for Farrell was his ability to defend and he works his ass off out there. His effort on every play is something this team seriously lacked. But I don’t think he’d be a loss if he didn’t come. Archie should be able to find better defenders in the portal… Hammond is the player I’d be upset about. Based on all the guards we are connected with it seems like that’s going to happen..

I’m gonna give Archie the time to build a roster this year but if we suck again next year I’m out, Year 3 should bring some stability but we may be losing recruits and an assistant. This has been a disaster so far… Let’s see what happens.

I think we should establish a 10 step program for Rhody Rehab patients.

1st step - stay off twitter
2nd step - stay off Instagram
3rd step - make alcohol as your higher power?

Please feel free to add some steps

Fast forward a month or two I know I’ll still get pumped for the new team. I was heartbroken when Ish left but at the same time I’m hopeful we can still find new gems no matter what hammond of farrel decide. This too shall pass. As difficult as it is to stay positive in times like this we must. The way I see it. We’re either going to better or worse next year and either it result in a change. The NCAA will eventually have to adjust nil and portal rules aswell.

So in the scheme of things (at the moment) it seems we've traded Kortright and Hammond for Bassy and Lawrence. I'm not sure I like that trade, but can talk myself into it.

For next year (and that's all you can count on), I think it's a slam dunk upgrade. The team got better. Then again, the team got better last off-season, too, but you could still hear the sucking sound from the Ry all the way to Cranston, and maybe beyond

I’d resigned myself to thinking Hammond wasn’t coming about 6 -8 weeks ago. Never appeared at a URI game including local to DC road games at GW and GMU. Hammond Played very well at Isle of Palms Ft Myers prestigious December Tournament, Paul VI got ranked Top 5, then Top 2, then Paul VI got ranked #1, then Hammond played well in the 8 team National Championship. His stock just kept going higher with little of no URI mention. He had to have a bunch of teams knocking on his door. Then Kenny Johnson rumors swirl a month ago and finally Georgetown is announced. It was just a matter of time. My guess is Hammond was already leaving, Johnson news just facilitated the storyline.

At any rate I think Thomas is more a replacement for Kortright in the sense Hammond was already gone. Now Kortright leaves as to be expected.

Lawrence is more a replacement for Montgomery who early last season was talked of filling Leggett’s shoes in his vacated slot which didn’t pan out as expected. Eventually Weston took over Montgomery’s slot so Lawrence essentially fills the Montgomery/Weston slot.

Thomas and Lawrence replace Kortright and Montgomery/Weston

House remains a starter at guard
Fuchs and Green remain down low

But………..still plenty of time to upgrade that line up further and plenty of openings and playing time available on the roster to attract potential all A10 conference level transfers.

Patience

I personally like what Miller is doing

How do we know that House and Green are coming back? There is no need for them to enter the portal if they plan on trying to make money overseas.
