Lol what? You currently have a pair of twins who are two of the highest graded bigs to ever come to URItheblueram wrote: ↑2 years ago So when do we get a recruit who moves the needle on the national level? Seems like we have Baron recruiting here. This is getting depressing.

Richmond got their first '22 commit, Michael Waltz (C) from Pa. Also had offers from La Salle, St. Joe's, and Penn State.

But stars don't matter say some on this board. 11 4* recruits. We are in a world of hurt right now. Cox has not landed 1 Top 100 recruit since he took over.

Re: General Recruiting Discussion/Comments
The 2018 and 2019 recruiting cycles all left. 2020 has Leggett and a bunch of projects. The current cycle is off to a very underwhelming start.
With Hurley, you could project forward a few years and see the vision. With Cox, I project forward to the Summer of 2023 and see a bottomed out roster.

While i agree Cox's career as a HC has been off to a rocky start, BUT you cannot compare us to UConn at this point. UConn without Hurley has name recognition to pull recruits then you add in the Hurley name and being back in the BE and they will have 4star plus recruits every single year!
This is just not a fair comparison. Hurley here got a top top 100 in Harris who greatly underperformed due to various reasons including injury.

Re: General Recruiting Discussion/Comments
And how many years ago was that? Took what 4 years for him to land another top 100 player and if i remember correctly Cox was the lead in landing Harris. It wasnt like Hurley was landing stud recruits year in and year out here. We all want to land highly ranked players but that is just such a rarity for a non P5+BE program minus Gonzaga.theblueram wrote: ↑2 years agoHurley got us EC Matthews when this program was in the toilet after Baron.

EC was coming no matter what it seemed. Murphy deluxe.
JT was hurleys real recruiting victory and then Hassan turning out to be a top player across the country. Then he looked in the mirror and knew it’s hard to do it again. So he went where it is routine.
Seems to be doing well. Bouknight’s success will do wonders and is obviously doing wonders for their recruiting.
Cox has done ok his first few years. Hopefully he gets better on the court. Covid didn’t help. He has been a force in the transfer game and that is good.

EC Mathews - Top 100 HS
Kuran Iverson - Top 50 HS, transfer from Memphis
Stanford Robinson - Top 50 HS, transfer from Indiana
Hassan Martin - Top 125 player potential in the eyes of Dan Hurley who had seen Martin play in HS many, many times. Martin was an extremely hard worker with solid potential. Hurley’s dad knew Martin very well too.
Cyril Langevine - Top 125 player potential in the eyes of Dan Hurley who had seen Cyril play in HS a lot. Langevine was an extremely hard worker with excellent upside potential. Hurley’s dad knew Langevine very well too.
Martin and Langevine proved the potential Hurley saw in them as they had outstanding A10 careers and have continued on playing well in Europe.
Hurley recruited well but in addition he retained his players. They learned his system, became intense defensive players (or they didn't see the floor)
I think a difference in Hurley teams and the past 3 years has been defensive intensity.
Watch a bit of the URI Oregon game. The defense from both teams is suffocating.

I didn't think CL was a top 125 player. I thought he was ranked like 200-300. Hassan not quite a 150. Maybe I am wrong.

Re: General Recruiting Discussion/Comments
KingstonLane, I don't think Ramster was referring to the HS ranking of Martin or Cyril (he didn't indicate HS), just how they finished their college career. Transfer Stan Robinson national HS (ESPN) was #99, Iverson was #36, also not mentioned was Terrell at #79.ramster wrote: ↑2 years agoStanford Robinson was ranked #56 by Rivals.com (16th-best shooting guard) and #59 by Scout.com (14th-best shooting guard).KingstonLane wrote: ↑2 years agoRamster - you’re certainly allowed to have your opinion and prefer Hurley, but please don’t lie.

I am sure these rankings may vary among the different sites.
In contrast based on our current top rated transfer's rankings, which doesn't necessarily translate into success at the next level.
Carey- HS (#38), Makhi HS (#70), Makhel HS (#127)
Let's see how our younger under the radar player's perform.
I still don't have any concerns with Cox's ability to recruit at this time.
Hurley moved on and URI was a stepping stone for him, of course we all would of preferred him staying.
Cox doesn't have the experience, resume, or pedigree as Hurley so this really isn't a fair comparison.

Re: General Recruiting Discussion/Comments
Hassan Martin was No. 124 nationally per Rivals https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/ ... rtin-29581
He was No. 160 nationally on the 247Sports composite rankings https://247sports.com/player/hassan-martin-20885/
That was with a knee injury and limited grassroots action prior to his senior year. Likely would have been a top-100 player. Jim Carr was the lead -- his best get at URI ahead of Cyril Langevine, who was about to take an unofficial to Pittsburgh before being pressed personally mid-week by Carr and Dan Hurley.

Hindsight is 20/20. Can’t sit here and pretend coaches can ever for sure say what will happen. I think the whole point of recruiting is finding your guys who you think are under ranked.

Re: General Recruiting Discussion/Comments
My point being...it's fine to have developmental players, and I would call Cyril one of those, because he was very raw when he got here. But those guys should supplement the studs. You can't build a team around a bunch of developmental guys. You'd have to hit on around 3 out of 4 of them to be successful, and that's not likely.Jersey77 wrote: ↑2 years agoDon't forget Stan Robinson and Iverson (for 16-17)Billyboy78 wrote: ↑2 years ago And while Cyril was a big part of those championship teams, the real keys were Jared, EC and Hass......the higher ranked players.

The twins can be good building blocks for us. They were both highly rated and are still relatively young in their careers.
Ish might be one of those under rated gems that can be a major impact player for us. He had a national ranking of #389 (247 sports composite)

Re: General Recruiting Discussion/Comments
Not sure what the consensus of this board feels about our last scholarship opening.
Many of our top '22 prospects have moved on.
The transfer portal has been picked through and at this point doubtful any impact players would be available to us.
I still wouldn't mind a grad transfer (preferably a big) that can provide some emergency minutes and depth in the paint, without tying up a "22 scholarship.
Another option would be saving the scholarship for a possible mid-year transfer.
My favorite scenario would be getting a commitment from a high scoring stretch wing/forward namely Nate Brafford (reclassify to '21), and have him redshirt like Thomas.

Re: General Recruiting Discussion/Comments
I assume that we just "bank" the scholarship at this point. The scenario you outline with Brafford would be nice, but seems like an incredible longshot. The same thing would go for a player that would get significant minutes at this point. It's hard to find a complete list, but fiddling with the "transfer" and "eligible now" sliders on this site, there aren't many players that excite me. You mostly have end of the bench guys from slightly better or equivalent programs to URI.Jersey77 wrote: ↑2 years ago Not sure what the consensus of this board feels about our last scholarship opening.

I like Brafford too. He needs a year with some serious work in the weight room before he plays any college basketball. A redshirt year would be good. But, we don't know if Brafford wants to go an entire year without playing any competitive basketball, other than practice.

I feel UConn is in good hands with Hurley.
As I said in an earlier post, he is killing it on the recruiting trail and all the BE schools are taking notice.
I expect them to be a perennial power in the BE.

Good for VCU. A perfect example of an A10 program that doesn't make excuses and gets the job done! We can do that! Think Big!!!

Maybe it's just me, but I have lost so much interest in this program. Their are no recruits. I remember the JT thread. When we were all so invested. Now? The powers that be better get this team back on good standing.

If there are coaching issues here, I'm sure other programs will be quick to mention that to prospective recruits.
Just makes it tougher than it already is.
