'19 Anthony Harris (UNC ---> URI ---> St. Thomas JC)

[Rhody15]

Not to be an ass but am I the only one that doesn’t care if Harris never shows up. He hasn’t played a college basketball game in over a year, turning 23 this year, injury history, non-factor at UNC, clearly an academic liability and he’s not going to be here when we make our next tournament run.

I like my academic liabilities to at least be potential cornerstones pieces.

What’s Harris ceiling at this point, slightly better Biggie Minnis?

Yup, could not care less at this point if he comes or not.

Over and done with in my mind.

[ElmCityRhody]

i certainly care

has this played out the way we hoped ?

no.. not even close.. its a debacle

but i care if he shows up because all i care about is future games, not what has happened at this point

so, i wil continue to care and hope he dons the rhody jersey (preferably before 2030)...

[steviep123]

NFG- we're on page 17! 3 more to go!

[PeterRamTime]

No way he plays for us this year, but I still think he plays next year if he wants to play basketball. We are taking the time to get him in school and you would think we would have that figured out by next year.

I mean he doesn't have the body of work to play overseas. Feels like we are his only option. But if there are still question marks about his eligibility coming into next year we should...CUT BAIT.

[eli#10]

My prediction is he winds up at West Virginia.

[STC]

My Crystal Ball prediction has Harris landing with the Yulon Luxgen Dinos. But seriously, I bet he just goes pro at this point, wherever "pro" is.

Any reason in particular, Eli ?

Please keep in mind that the goal is 20 pages for this thread.

If Arch wants hime, and it doesn't happen, it'll be on Ant. So....we'll see...

If he is not coming here for whatever reason, Isn't the drama around Ant exactly what "Huugy Bear" does well with--kinda of his specialty-- Remember a player named Jonothan Holton???

Tre Mitchell

[Jdrums#3]

Good memory, McRam. I forgot about Holton even though I watched him play for WVU on TV several times. Ooph

History repeats angle. Hmm, compelling angle normally but this is not a normal thread. For the sake of the thread, I can’t agree - only because I don’t think Huggy and WVU have enough cache’, enough uhmph to get us to 20 pages.

You and others may disagree….I am hoping.

[eli#10]

West Virginia does not believe in academic ïssues".

Totally forgot about Tre averages 12 and 5 in 29 minutes

Reef,
I was just checking out results fit West Virginia - Auburn Saturday and WVU pulled the upset. Tre played 29 minutes had only 1 rebound and 4 points.
I noted this guy Erik Stevenson had 31 points to lead WVU, in 38 minutes he had 31 points and 6 rebounds. He hit 7-10 3-pointers.
Looked him up he is in his 5th year:
Wichita State
Wichita State
Washington
South Carolina
West Virginia
Never sat out a year - just 4 schools in 5 years with not sit out.

[Jdrums#3]

Interesting way to see the country.

Old nemesis Taylor Funk is still playing remember him ??

[Jdrums#3]

His 6th year of college ball including one RS season. He must be 24 ish in age. A pretty mature age physically compared to most 18-19 year old freshman players. Plus 5+ years of experience cbb to draw on.

Covid made it so you have men playing against boys at times in cbb. Crazy time.

Jalen Carey Oct 11, 1999. 23 years 3 months. Still has a year of eligibility

[eli#10]

Jared Bynum will be 24 in March.

[Jdrums#3]

Cooley likes the older ones.

[Rhodyram]

Locke and Croswell turn 24 this year also.
Jayson Tatum turns 25....

[hrstrat57]

When you think about it how ridiculous is it that 24 year olds are playing college basketball?

It’s just entertainment has nothing to do with school really. Minor league for worldwide pro hoops.

[Rhodymob05]

They all go to a prep school year now. So most are usually a year older than most college students. Then add in eligibility/injuries etc.

[ramster]

Another factor on "old" players is the Free Extra Covid Year. Many players took or will take advantage of the 5th year. I doubt the NCAA thought so many would end up playing the 5th year.

I hear Ant is waiting for a ruling on whether his Social Security check will be reduced by the amount of NIL money he receives.

I think we can close this thread.

Not yet 208 wanted 20 pages ??

Don't understand why there isn't more speculation about this dude. I mean, he's sposed to be really good, right? Maybe he isn't really?

Until we get new news, I don’t understand why we keep repeating ourselves.

Most of us were very excited, except for the few that argued with me that he wasn’t a loss this season. The more I watch Bassy, I think it’s hilarious that people think Ant being on this team from day one and having those minutes wouldn’t be better, but I’m not going down that road again…

I don’t care about this season anymore. We are what we are this season, and one guard that hasn’t played in a long time isn’t going to change much at this stage… At this point, I want him to play next year. Get the rust off during the off-season and start practicing with the team.

Hopefully with a better frontcourt and Weston and Bray taking another step forward I think Ant could be a Jalen Carey type player for us next season. As I said we need a veteran guard because we can’t rely on two freshman guards the first year.

Fast break to 20 pages before it gets shut down!

Crap! I think I am dribbling in the wrong direction.

This ^^↑ is exactly what we need....long, drawn out, well-reasoned discourse, presenting an opinion on whether people should offer opinions or ask questions about the topic at hand. Very well done.

[Jdrums#3]

Ooooph. My reasoning flew out the window of this thread weeks ago. I got nothin’. My only game plan to 20 pages is resorting to wise cracks. Bench me coach; I am letting the team down.

It’s February 6th and where is Anthony Harris today ??

[Rhodymob05]

It’s criminal that we don’t know anything here.

[rjv]

He is not coming ...close the thread!!!!!!!!!

Thinking we should setup a “fund me” page and hire a private investigator to answer your question.

This is how you get to 20

Yep. March on. More needless drivel on a recruiting thread specific to an individual player.
Already been told multiple times by the Head Coach that this is with the URI Admissions Department.
So it's really irrelevant where he physically is.

[NYGFan_Section208]

This is how you get to 20

Yep. March on.

I see what you did there..."March" on ....good one!

Hey Ant! We have a spot open. Come over and play some ball.

I am trying, NYG.

Good one. It'll be interesting to see what kind of legs the Bray thread has. Probably just a couple more pages? I do hope we get to see some video....even if someone just cartoons it for us....
