Ooopphhh.....

I mean what’s the formula for these rankings? Does anyone hear know? I doubt it.

Analytics have gone too far.

Like I’m sorry but Donovan Clingan was not the second best player in America this season.

I like analytics, but Miyakawa's stuff is pretty questionable. Even that list of Rhody players from last year... is that how you'd rank them?

Yeah and Keegan being the second best transfer, he’s great but not that great

It truly makes no sense to me

His rankings have to be heavily based on offensive efficiency and rebounding, hence why guys like Records and that UConn backup big are so highly ranked. Probably team success, too, since both their squads put up guady win-loss records.

Sorry, my point was just that it’s crazy that there are 3,068 transfers, not that this guy is good or bad.

That 3068 number can't be accurate. That would be 8.45 transfers per division 1 program

Shit, you're right. I didn't realize he had paywalled his transfer rankings, and that rating is Pride's position in the ENTIRE player pool of D-I basketball players. I'll update the top post to reflect that.

This makes me wonder a lot of things hah

Yeah, not a good look if we lose a recruiting battle to Loyola...

I hope Archie has someone better that we will get. Otherwise

A college football Twitter page tweeting out basketball news lmao nexxxtttt please

Have seen this account around on twitter. They don’t have any inside sources.

I heard they were a sleeper for Pride last week but it still would be very surprising. I think he ends up at Xavier. Hope I’m wrong

Bottom line is it won’t be URI. Getting sick of PC either keeping a good player, bringing a player in for a visit or getting a player added to their roster. I’m not sure why PC fans care about Cooley at this point with their off season making them a top 25 team again. May have a better X’s and O’s Coach also

URI is without question still in the mix for Pride. I think he’ll either come to us or Xavier.

i think losing Cooley is a massive loss. KIm English hasn’t proven a thing… They should have a good year next season but let’s see what happens once English has to build a team without the momentum of Cooley like Cox had too once we lost Dans players. I was high on English before this season but I thought he underachieved this season and I was not very impressed in a lot of the games I watched.

We’ll see…

Anyways, Pride is still a real possibility. Get it done Archie!

Here is you “Archie Miller has had nothing but bad luck, injuries, Ant Harris, Carey isn’t healthy, etc. I’ll send you a box of tissues. Go grab a drink and relax. I could care less about what you like.

URI is without question still in the mix for Pride. I think he’ll either come to us or Xavier.

Come on Stevey, there is no place here for dealing in reality. These guys need to conjure up whatever fantasy it takes to remain as miserable as possible at all times!!!

Considering you have no insider knowledge on any recruiting I’ll go by the reports and the teams that are competing for him. We should just change the board to everyone has the same opinion and every move made by Archie and URI is a great one. If we are bad there are circumstances and bad luck. It is still very early in the process and I’m hoping that we get the shooters and PG they need to turn the program around. Everyone has their own way of viewing it. I would love to eat my words on Pride for sure and other talent if it means we win

Pride has already visited. He’s still in contact with the staff and plans to do an official visit. But ya, according to you, he’s 100% not coming…Maybe something changes, as these kids change their minds all the time but we are still in the mix right now

You’re just being incredibly negative yet again because that’s your thing… We all know last year sucked. We all know the first class was weak for the most part. We all know Archie has a lot to prove with this next class and season. I still have faith in Archie, and I won’t find the negative in every move he makes as you do. I like our first two recruits and the players we are connected with. Until we see how this roster shakes out, im going to have some hope in our experienced and successful head coach, who’s only in his second freaking season…

The twitter report says "strong mutual interest" Well, if you are having an official visit, that alone would suggest "strong mutual interest". It's still a pretty vague comment.

I doubt he makes a decision before he makes his last three official visits. I really doubt this twitter report is anything more than guess work. And URI will still have a good chance, they'll be able to make a good impression and a closing argument before he decides.

Happy Easter everyone, what's left of it anyway.

Definitely lol, paid for Twitter anyway (loser) and tweeted out False info before about Garway staying at PC

Another player to monitor as well for Xavier

Xavier has had in house visits with him

Pride will not decide until after all his visits..

steveystuds06 wrote: ↑1 year ago Pride will not decide until after all his visits..

Something else to add. He will be visiting URI last, and his family is coming. I think that's a great sign. Let's hope Xavier doesn't blow him away and Archie closes the deal.

When is his URI visit? I have to tell you, I am really getting anxious about this one. I think he would be a very good pick up for us. Really need this one!!

Now the real question is

Will the girlfriend be coming?

Roll out the Keaney Blue carpet with a side of Cupid!

Ironic that the Miller brothers are going against each other for this recruit......

He had a zoom with them tonight. Official visit soon.

steveystuds06 wrote: ↑1 year ago Pride will not decide until after all his visits..

As a player...if possible...why would you not tour, er I mean have "visits" across the country? I mean, you're young, you're probably getting pref airline treatment so you don't realize how it sucks for people that have to air it, but hey....why not?

Idk, GFan, but that's how I'd do it. Can't blame him. Along the way, he could always come across an unexpected deal. Although, I'm guessing in Pride's case, he pretty much knows what deals are going to be pitched prior to the visit.

I wouldn't even care if I knew....freekn just get out there and tour it around for a bit...

Also some of these kids didn’t get that kind of treatment or attention as high school recruits. Xavier didn’t care about Pride as a high school senior. Now they do. I would soak it all up too in his shoes.

Based on the timing of the recent commitment, I do not like our chances with Pride. I hope I'm wrong.

I don't think there is a cause and effect there. Pride would easily be the starter if signed.

Montgomery is a player that is still developing, showing good progress. His writeup stated "he got minutes at guard" basically suggesting he may have been playing out of position to get minutes, on a team top heavy with frontcourt players. Some here suggested, think Malik Martin, except taller and a better shooter.

Pride is a finished known product, one year rental.

We had a Zoom meeting with him yesterday and a very similar player commits the next day.

Well, let's put it this way...

Someone stated "Leggett, please come back" That position/minutes, is still available. If we get Pride, the door is closed on Leggett. Not that I thought he was coming back, to be honest.

It's pretty much one or the other. THOSE two players, Pride and Leggett, cannot coexist on this team. Pride and Montgomery and House, can coexist.

Conversely, if we lose Pride to Loyola, maybe there is a glimmer that Leggett comes back.
