[Mattrams94]

[PeterRamTime]

Insider Matt!

[adam914]

Love it!!

[Billyboy78]

Is he tall or short?

[CamsRams]

So this would be 3rd visit after Battle & Minor?

[RhodyRams916]

Is he tall or short?

I'd assume he's probably taller than 5'10"

Since I realize we've picked up quite a few new posters in the ensuing years, you can read the original "Pat Riley" post here.

Thanks Matt , good to have someone watching on campus

[ramster]

Thanks Matt for putting this General Visits/Transfer Recruiting thread in the Recruiting section.

I always thought it was a play off the Patriots meme from the time someone thought they saw Richard Sherman at Logan?

[bigappleram]

Love this Matt. Awesome to have a mole on campus.

[reef]

So we’re you able to find out who it was ??

[theblueram]

I'm guessing it wasn't Dezi Jones

[Mattrams94]

the player who took a visit oday was temple sophmore Nick Jourdain. 6 foot 8 averages 6 points per game and 5 rpg

[STC]

Matt meeting with Archie on Monday….

[giovanni]

Thanks Matt. Maybe /hopefully there is also a connection with Battle. Temple was a solid team

Does that move a needle?

[Jersey77]

Him alone without a Battle package deal doesn't excite me.
He is okay but not the type of impact player I hope, very modest production in 3 years.
He is from Jersey was a 3* and national recruiting ranking was 277, had no P6 offers out of HS.

My opinion, not really.

I'm really not familiar with him. But let's face it he would be an upgrade to our current roster. And I m just assuming if Battle was on campus recently, there may be a connection. Just a giess

Is this is how we get Battle, then I’ll take both.

Are we looking for starters, or off the bench help? I'm confused.

[steveystuds06]

We must remember that every player we bring in isn't going to average 20 and 10. I think he would be a nice piece to add to our rotation. Now if he's the best player we add, that's not good enough... He's had some big games against good competition. Very athletic and a solid shot blocker... He will throw down some monster dunks. I have no idea if he's a top target of ours, but he's better and more experienced than most of our bigs now. We shall see.

He would be very "Meh" for you Blueram and probably most here.
I would hope Archie and the staff can do better.

The A10 could be a better fit for him too, you never know

[theblueram]

So when are these high powered assistants and Archie going to get us involved with players that will take us to the NCAAT? A 6'8" player who averages 6 pts a game? Cmon man. That's not even funny.

As a rotation piece maybe Stevey, most of his games were just okay.
But if we only add 1 or 2 bigs, I would like more, especially one with only 2 years left at most.
Similar to Alex but he doesn't have his length.

When we have the NIL money lol

You think we’re gonna get those 4 * stars who get us little articles on ESPN and cbs, time to wake up and accept reality, we need to have a somewhat decent season maybe we’ll get better transfers but players will be looking at our track record and don’t wanna be part of rebuild if they have one year left of eligibility.

Hell this guy is probably better than everyone in our frontcourt (maybe not Bilau), but still played in a better conference than ours and was alright I’ll take him, is he my dream transfer that I want our team to get no, but will he be an improvement, yes

Also has two years of eligibility so would be nice

[Dino611]

Also love how blue ram is complaining that he’s not very good and not going to move us forward with his very average 6.5 pts/game and 5 boards/game, yet Kuran Iverson only averaged 4 pts/game and 2 boards/ game when he was at Memphis and IN THE SAME CONFERENCE that this kid plays and was a very key piece for us getting to the tournament

Cry me a River blue ram

URI has upped the ante on this staff. They are being paid more than any other staff in our history. We hired a proven coach and he hired a proven assistant team. I would hope if he has roadblocks($$), he let's people know. If it's NIL, then I hope Archie let's us know that is the reason. We can't help him fix something we don't know about.

Did I say he was not very good? NO I didn't. Just asked if we are recruiting starters or off the bench players.

Our frontcourt was embarrassing last year. Truly embarrassing. So this kid doesn't seem like a horrible idea to me as a rotation piece. Yes, we need to land a better big than this to be our starter. I only watched Temple a few times this year, and I remember he impressed me when he played Memphis, but I think that was one of his better games.

[Iggy1979]

If he was 15 and 8 at Temple he wouldn't be visiting. After the year URI had this is what we can expect.

Hell anyone would be a starter with the horendous frontcourt we had this year I think everyone on this board can agree

[Dino611]

1000% agree especially when it comes to big men

Maybe I misjudged the Miller hire then.

I would prefer Jordan Minor who also visited, plus a few others that were mentioned on our list.
I think our staff is capable of it.

I would believe he is our top big target wouldn’t shock me if Archie is recruiting for both starting frontcourt spots, I view this guy as a 4 where Minor as a 5

We hired a proven basketball coach and recruiter, but not a magician.

Give the man some time. You, me, this whole board are itching for success but patience is a virtue

Couldn’t agree more but blue ram gotta get off the funny juice, he expects a top 25 freshman class each year and all our transfers to average double doubles, people gotta accept reality but it’s better than the jokes of recruits we were getting a couple years ago w Cox

If anyone doesn’t realize this is sarcasm

Wdym by that? We're not a really attractive team to play for right now.

I agree with blueram , one bad season shouldn’t make us expect low profile transfers…With this coach. He’s here to get 15/8 guys.

Didn't Tom Hanks say in some movie, "there's no virtues in message boards""?
