'19 G Khalif Battle (Butler ---> Temple ---> Arkansas)

[Matunuck]

He is visiting URI this weekend. This would be a great start to next years team

[RhodyRams916]

How does it usually work? Is it rare for players to commit during the visit?

That's a great question - I've seen it happen, but I don't know how common it is.

Gotcha. I guess we'll see then!

[NYGFan_Section208]

Isn't there usually some kind of "had an awesome visit with ____! #uncommitted " tweet first?

[RhodyRams916]

Yeah, some players will do that.

Wow that was quick , let’s freaking go !!

[SandorClegane]

Gotta figure out how to bring the swag back..

[Billyboy78]

Did he show up?

[RhodyRams916]

Did he show up?

We will know at the end of the day today I guess.

[LoveThoseRams]

I am not betting on it...no indication on social media...he posted yesterday in NJ.

[Billyboy78]

Wasn't Vault the first one to post that he was visiting?

[Dino611]

Me, Stevey & smartybarret all heard news before vault posted anything about him also let’s be patient and not be concerned that there wasn’t anything on social media for four of our commitments last year (Lou, Rory, Foumena & Weston) didn’t post any pics about being at rhody during their visits until they actually committed, everyone be patient and to be totally honest I don’t think we’re getting him

Yeah I can't see him choosing us over all those P5 teams.

The battle for Battle, the saga continues...

[STC]

I’m not saying Battle is the guy but Archie must start winning some recruiting battles over P5 schools.

Didn't RhodyVault say we had some sort of connection with him? That could help.

I’d assume there’s other connections as well at other schools.

Will most likely get a bigger NIL deal elsewhere too.

Why not? Hurley won many recruiting battles against P5 schools. Isn't that why we hired Archie Miller? Have some faith. I still do.

Ok fine, I'll have some faith lol. Just after seeing that long list of good programs, idk.

[McRam]

Where is the list of P5 schools?

Of course getting your name linked with good programs is half the battle.

[Rhodyram]

Are there any players left to take him around campus???

[Backroads]

Did someone say Archie was at the Xavier game? Was he even here this weekend?

[Mattrams94]

Battle is on campus today

Tell him Bon Vue will give him an NIL deal, free drinks and he’ll never have to wait in line.

It's great to have a student here. Keep us posted if you hear anything on Battle or if you hear anything about or see any other recruits.

This Matt guy mentioned Dre Davis from seton hall a couple weeks ago. Is he even in the transfer portal?

[adam914]

Hurley almost always used to close a guy if they made it on campus for a visit. Let's hope Archie can do the same!

[LoveThoseRams]

Could be the first piece in the rebuilding...
A bit concerned about his temperament though, hope it was exaggerated in the reports.

No, and neither is Sanders yet.

Damn. I'm glad Archie and staff are casting a wide net though.

We got a student on the board. Eyes, the ground, baby!

This day get's better and better.

Rhody Fan wishlist for 3.20.2023:

1. Battle commits
2. Lady Rams get the 2nd post season win in history
3. Cooley announces his move to Georgetown
4. Ish says, ah, f@ck it, I'm staying at Rhody

not asking for much here.

I like the optimism jcru, but all of that in one day?!

[PeterRamTime]

Fingers crossed so bad I broke'em!

[RhodyRams916]

Is it fair to say if Battle doesn't commit on campus we probably aren't getting him? I just think once he sees the fancy facilities at P5 schools URI will have no chance.

I don't think I would look at it that way in Battle's case. Obviously you want to get a commitment when the player visits if you can, but Battle has been playing college hoops for 4 years already, he knows whats out there and what other schools can offer. It's different than when you have a high school kid just learning about all this stuff for the first time in my opinion.

good point.

[RhowdyRam02]

Unless something has changed recently my understanding is a player can't commit while they're on campus

Our chances certainly dwindle

Most portal players want get it over with quickly because they know how tedious being recruited can be after having gone through that before.

However some like to drag it out and like the attention.

Regardless we have to make a great impression today if we want a chance!

I didn’t say you did. Sanders coming here has been a rumor for months.

I’m told Battle wants to go to a high major. He wouldn’t commit here unless we actually landed some good players first…

Interesting

Well seems like this will be a drawn out thing if we do have a chance to get him

He's the first visit right?
