I’ve been asking for this for a couple of years now. Maybe have a new section called “Players” and move the threads on individual recruits there after they commit.

I'm pretty sure you meant to say, re: the Harris thread, "remain pinned", but what it looks like you wrote is "locked"....which would be sheer lunacy.

Re: 19 MA PG Noah Fernandes
It's almost like he didn't want local players, he only wanted ones from DMV, which makes Sabastian Thomas coming here under him really weird. Like, that's the one local player you wanted?

Re: 19 MA PG Noah Fernandes (Wichita State - Transfer to UMass)
Interesting.
I wonder if there’s some connection or, if it is NIL or, desire to play in a better conf and have more of a chance of dancing next March ? A combination, perhaps ?
Thanks for the intel, Smarty.

I mean, the majority of where transfers go are for NIL and tournament chances, in addition to playing time.

Plymouth, Mass area. Just beyond New Bedford somewhere.
Why? Do you think that would help us keep him local? As people stated, he's closer to Kingston than Amherst

I would guess he wants an NIL deal, play in a bigger/better conference, chance at the tournament, a major role on the team.Jdrums#3 wrote: ↑1 year agoYes, now, do you care to address the questions for this specific player for sake of conversation ?

A few things I've heard... NIL is a big factor, and Ole Miss is offering a competitive NIL package. Don't know details, but it's Ole Miss, so.Jdrums#3 wrote: ↑1 year agoSince Smarty is hearing Ole Miss, hopefully, he will jump back in here to let us know if he is hearing why as I am curious.
Also, I figured he would stay local because he and his girlfriend just had a baby. She's a UMass student as well. But she's graduating and is willing to go with him wherever. So if you think he's anchored to this region, it sounds like that's not the case.

Re: 19 MA PG Noah Fernandes (Wichita State - Transfer to UMass)
If Ole Miss offers them a condo for the three of them, a couple of stipends, a monthly income, a lump sum for appearances...
I don't want to speak for URI, but I'm not certain they can compete with that, and I don't want to be the one to ask them to.
Money is one thing, but all of that, if he can get it, more power to him. Probably time for Rhody to look elsewhere. I mean, UMass is in the same boat, they must have seen this coming.

Awfully quiet on Noah. At least we know we're interested. There is a connection as Noah and Bilau came in together as freshmen at Wichita State. This is the latest stealth. I know, long shot, but we can hope.

We have been mentioned with a ton of kids and brought in two of those kids.
“Stealth” was last year when we got a lot of kids nobody was recruiting.

I was saying in Noah's case, I was hoping for stealth. Not hearing of any visits or anything lately. So, a commitment out of nowhere to URI would be stealth. Although I seriously don't think that's what's going to happen.

Perhaps using their NIL budget to help a talented PG who has a family, with baby makes 3, is a more wholesome sort of thing for a Catholic College to project than a rogue player reporting to his sugar momma with a gun in hand, finding her in bed with her new lover, and getting arrested.

Re: '19 PG Noah Fernandes (Wichita State ---> UMass ---> ???)
I am a big fan of Noah. The only question is if he can avoid injuries. The A-10 has lost a lot of talent to the portal although a significant amount has also transferred into the league.

Re: '19 PG Noah Fernandes (Wichita State ---> UMass ---> Rutgers)
Seems like an odd choice, since I doubt Rutgers is giving out big bags of money for men's basketball, and the team has had seven years of being kind-of-OK with Pikiell now.

Not a good sign considering we were a one bid league last season. Hopefully, signings take an upturn to make up for the losses but, still need to be better than just treading water to improve as a conference.
That said, I am getting closer and closer to not having much faith in the conference but I am not there yet. However, I will be there with another year or two of this (portal results) and what we saw last season on the court against out of conference competition.
We just need to concentrate on our own program and improving beyond other A10 members as a team and program. All else is out of Rhody’s control as to how the conference fares. Basically, Rhody needs to transcend the conference if the conference doesn’t turn things around.
