Interesting that the 1st 4 questions are academic related:
•What academic support do you have in place?
•How often does the coaching staff meet to discuss each player’s academic profile and standings?
•What is the coach to player ratio for academic and personal accountability for the player?
•What’s the teams graduation rate?
I hope she knows the academic support people got rings just like the players and coaches. They are part of the TEAM.
Hurley has said he always loves when the parents are involved. He's great with parents on the home visits.
I was confident with Harris; very confident with Adams.

Someone needs to let her know that the entire team jumped to their feet to applaud when the 2 bball team academic advisers were announced when the A10 championship rings were being awarded at Appreciation Night a couple of weeks ago. The love for the advisers was very noticeable by all in attendance.

I have a feeling that Dan and others covered the great relationship the players and coaching staff have with the academic staff.
Adams was on campus = we got him.
Coffee is for closers and we have closers!
Those crystal ball predictions are bogus. Some guy just selected Brendan to pick Cincy. He just added his pick today based off a pick that was given back in February.
Maybe Jermaine can meet up with Brendan this weekend and give him the winning Rhody hat. Jk
Hopefully, Jermaine has joined Dana and Tyrese on the recruiting trail by messaging Brendan to join them.

Yes
Still confident we land Brendan on Sunday?
Very

seeing how involved his parents are, I don't see him doing a big announcement like Harris, I expect a post on twitter with national media guys also tweeting about it
I want Adams (assuming Hurley still does). BUT if he doesn't pick us i won't feel like it's much of a hit.
We already have a terrific on paper class for 18. Adams would take our last scholly.
I was debating this with some friends/family and my father tried to argue he would prefer we not get Adams. The idea being it keeps open a scholly we may find ourselves wishing we had. So many good 5th year seniors, more regular transfer then ever, not to mention JT like situations...
Personally, i think staff is well aware of the advantages of keeping open that last scholly. If Adams signs with us its means they feel he is a guy they want badly as they would pull the offer otherwise.

He's our #1 recruit at the guard position. He's being recruited by schools at a much higher level than his brother. That's all I need to know.
I can't figure out what the discussion above me is all about but if you're questioning whether you/we want this guy, the answer is hell yes. All-league potential player, can play along side the other guards already on the roster and in this class, and could be as good or better than all of them. Would be a huge pickup for URI, and if the last month or so played out a little differently people here would be absolutely giddy about possibility of getting this guy this morning.
Come on home, Brendan.
