Re: URI 2023 Transfers - Who Will Stay and Who Will Go?
We had free agency last year too. Did not just start this year. Better late than never. 14 place, 264 NET and decreasing actual attendance might have something to do with changes being seen.jcru wrote: ↑1 year agoYeah, that was yesterday.

You picked us to go 23-8 with a Ryan Center attendance record this season, and said we had a shot to win the A10 tourney the second half of the season all the way up to the loss against La Salle.ramster wrote: ↑1 year agoA year ago Miller said he would not go the way of 1 Year Players.

If adding Charles Pride makes URI a AQ capable team then add him today by all means. Just do it.
Bring back Jalen Carey too who was your man-crush Rhody
15. I heard a rumor he might be back. Pair Carey and Pride on the wings. Go with the experience and older players if that provides the best chance for the A10 AQ.
The downside is It's tough on the guy who loses his starting spot to Pride - whoever that is but it's reality. Plus the 35 mpg that go to Pride and not to Wright, Estevez, Kortright or Weston or others.
I just don't think we are as close as some think we are to moving from 14th place and 260 NET to a AQ contender next season. I'll trust Archie if that's his direction. Whatever gets the NCAA Bid to Kingston as soon as possible. I'll happily be proven wrong.
So you thought we were close to an AQ this year.
By all accounts we are "better" than last year, so you should be thinking we'll go 29-2 this season and contend for an at large?

I think you have to go with the flow and take what opportunity gives you when it comes to recruiting. If not, you get left behind.
I don't know what the talk of the Keaney Blue message board was last year, but I can tell you this year, if Archie didn't get the kind of players he's been getting, he either would not be able to field a team, OR the team would be worse than last year. Priority numero uno is to always increase the talent level on the team. "Recruiting is the lifeblood of college basketball". Not sticking to some rigid, dogma plan from last year.

Seems to me schools should now get rid of buy outs and multi year contracts for coaches so they have the same freedom of movement the players have…if it’s all supposed to be fair.

I don't think it is supposed to be fair, because if it was supposed to be fair, the school itself would be paying the players a salary, like they do the coaches. Then, yes, apples to apples.
Until then, whoever the school pays a salary directly to, they can have a say in how to retain them legally and mitigate their losses.

No contest any more - it's over. No prediction this year.
My contest strategy has been:
Look back every year and I go either with the best record submitted or the worst record submitted. I believe the year I won was with the worst record but it might have been best - but it was one extreme or the other.
I submit in the last minute before entries close
I was between going with the best record or the worst record last season.
I Basically flip a coin but also look closely at what others predict at the extreme ends.
I leaned towards the worst but my heart said I don't want to be secretly hoping for a bad record in Obadiah's very last KB Prediction contest. I also had heard so much positive about the new players and the new Head Coach that I leaned towards the best record vs the worst record.
So I went with the best record possible to win at the last minute - but a record just above the highest submitted at that last moment T in time.
Note the high points per game and high attendance too - both go with predicting the best record.
In years I go with worst record I go with low points per game and low attendance.
Prediction contests are over now. Probably best since people read stuff into the predictions and overreact.
Here you go R15 where I won picking the worst record in 2013-14
I go with the highest Record or the lowest Record. Just trying to win the contest. So my 23-8 prediction is to win the contest . Could just as easily have been the opposite direction and I would have won the contest this year. But alas, I didn't.

My depth of knowledge on NIL is borderline zero. So, those much more up to speed, do we know the NIL money, agreements with players coming in is how much each? Or is there no public knowledge of the use of these funds?

There has generally been no public knowledge, but that'll change in the next couple of years, because some of them are considered non-profits. And, if you're a non-profit, you have to file tax returns that can be reviewed by the general public.

Coaches are free to negotiate whatever contracts they want, so if those are things they want they should be asking for them. Nobody is stopping them.

There hasn't been one "stealth" signing this off season.

Re: URI 2023 Transfers - Who Will Stay and Who Will Go?
I am a yes to Carey for next year. Need some continuity year to year. He is a guy who has been in the system a year, probably knows what the staff wants to do and can help transition the new players in. Also won’t demand 35 mins a game so it leaves room for new players to develop.
Plus, I do think he has a role on a good team (if we can get there quickly next year), excellent athlete and defender.

Don't see Carey wanting to be a role player at this point in his career. Never seemed to be the real leader type that fits this scenario. If he has desire to be a pro he is going to want major minutes and be the focal point of the offense. If that happens we will not be very good again for sure. He's not consistent enough in any aspect of his game. Time for a clean break from Cox players. Please no Carey.

I don’t think he will play 15 mins, but there is a difference between a 25 min/game player and a 35 min/game player on the development of “younger” players. Plus I fully expect 50% of the guys we brought in this year to not work out and play significant minutes, just the way it is.
My issue was not Jalen last year (or Martin or Bassy or Ish) it was that all those guys were on the court at the same time. Major offensive deficiencies in those lineups.

Re: URI 2023 Transfers - Who Will Stay and Who Will Go?
From ProJo article today on adding Wright......
URI still has two scholarships remaining and could use them on junior college forward Buru Naivalurua, Bryant wing Charles Pride, Boston College forward DeMarr Langford or other targets. The Rams lost guard Ishmael Leggett to Pittsburgh through the transfer portal and seem unlikely to bring back Louis Hutchinson, Abdou Samb, Alex Tchikou or Sebastian Thomas after they each opted to enter. Graduate guard Jalen Carey has declared for the NBA Draft and entered the transfer portal — Miller and Carey both said in early March they could be open to what would be a surprise reunion in 2023-24.

Yes , but that was before he made his announcement . However , after rereading his post , he really didn't make it definitive that he was leaving , so
I guess it is still possible he could return . If he decided to return I would be happy . I believe he made improvements each season and that could continue . He could be a valuable player who plays hard , can get his own shots and is very athletic .

He isn’t coming back. Why would he want to come back and why would URI want him back? There is no chance that Archie is thinking let me keep a spot open for Carey. As soon as he has a chance to sign someone else he will. If he did come back that would do nothing to help the team. It would be wasted minutes that could be used on someone who could develop and get the team to the intimate goal. No Carey.

I am okay either way on this, but just think Carey and the staff have already moved on in different directions.
I also don't feel he would have a guaranteed starting position if he does, everyone but Ish is easily replaceable from last season's line-up.

Re: URI 2023 Transfers - Who Will Stay and Who Will Go?
My take is that it wasn't that Carey was good, it was just that the rest of the team, other than Ish, was offensively challenged. I say a big no to Carey. Time to purge last year!NYGFan_Section208 wrote: ↑1 year agoYet, he was still one of the most talented players on the team...hopefully, he decides to come back

I'm in the "hope he moves on to the next phase of his career" group.
Why hinder the development of the two freshman? As of now we have 5 guards and 2 SFs to rotate through 3 spots.
We have four front court players and one of them hurt with an unknown recovery time table.
I'd rather see two bigs signed even if one of them is a red shirt developmental type.

He'll also be 24 years old by the start of next season. If he doesn't get a solid NIL deal he'll probably turn pro... I think he'll have a nice career overseas.

Re: URI 2023 Transfers - Who Will Stay and Who Will Go?
This is exactly why you bring back Carey who is athletic enough to play a small 4 if needed. We are looking at the 12/13 spot on our roster. I don’t see a stud player coming to fill that spot. It is either a project player or a guy who will be gone next year. Give me the guy who played in the system last year, is a freak athlete, who has improved every year. You guys are crazy to not want him back.rhodyblue12 wrote: ↑1 year ago I'm in the "hope he moves on to the next phase of his career" group.

Crazy to not want back a 24 year old combo guard who is prone to turnovers and shoots threes at an abysmal rate? Um ok.
I doubt he comes back, wouldn’t spend a dime of NIL budget on him and wish him nothing but the best in his pursuit of pro ball overseas.

I like Carey and wish him luck, but a part of me dies when the stakes are high, the game is close and I see him dribbling the ball.

Re: URI 2023 Transfers - Who Will Stay and Who Will Go?
Lol. Yeah let’s bring Carey back to play a small 4. That should get us to the next step in moving closer to the tourney. A 6-3 power forward that can’t step out and shoot and is turnover prone. Let it go. The last few seasons were a disaster. Time to get new players in.rhodylaw wrote: ↑1 year agoThis is exactly why you bring back Carey who is athletic enough to play a small 4 if needed.

Re: URI 2023 Transfers - Who Will Stay and Who Will Go?
I'd rather have Carey back than a developmental big. We had 3 above average defenders on last years team and Ish and Malik are now gone. These young guards we have would really have a chance to improve in practice going up against a plus defender rather than an average or weak defender. In addition we need Jalen's defense in the actual games. Jalen's 3P% will go up if he is instructed to take only the wide open looks instead of some of the more difficult step back three's he was attempting last season. Some of our best ball movement last season were with the Thomas/Carey lineups. I think we have added enough shooting to keep Carey around and for it to be a positive.rhodyblue12 wrote: ↑1 year ago I'm in the "hope he moves on to the next phase of his career" group.

Jalen Carey should probably start his overseas basketball career right away because he has a limited window to make money playing basketball.

Re: URI 2023 Transfers - Who Will Stay and Who Will Go?
Just watched Florida Atlantic go to the final four with small, athletic 4 guard/wing lineups. Far more likely we do that than get a few traditional bigs who are good enough to get us to the tourney.RamStock wrote: ↑1 year agoLol. Yeah let’s bring Carey back to play a small 4.

We have a lot of new players in, nothing wrong with keeping 1 who played his role for the most part and would fit in nicely with the new players.

Re: URI 2023 Transfers - Who Will Stay and Who Will Go?
Carey looked mediocre shotting the three at the beginning of the season horrendous at the end. He's shoots free throws more than well and has a decent mid range any decent staff should be able to get his three back to mediocre in the off season. Carey also was assigned the other teams best scorer quite often on D. In my CYO opinion I'd bring him back.
