Re: The Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel 2023-24
I like some of the film I've seen on this portal guy Dion Brown (UMBC). He's also from nearby W. Ma. Line him up for a visit.
"What also has been fun is watching Brown emerge as one of the top players in the America East. He leads the conference in field goals (189) and offensive rebounds (66) and ranks third in points per game (18.9), sixth in rebounds (7.1), 11th in 3-pointers (1.6), 12th in shooting percentage (.501 on 189 of 377). He also ranks seventh among all NCAA Division I players in field goals.
His 473 points this season leave the 6-foot-3, 185-pound shooting guard nine points shy of Jarius Lyles’ sophomore record set in 2015-16. Brown has already surpassed Lyles’ record of 170 field goals and his 177 rebounds are 11 short of Kennedy Okafor’s No. 6 all-time ranking among sophomores."BalSun

Yeah it didn’t make much sense when he couldn’t even play 10-12 minutes per night , something went on behind the scenes

I decided to do my part and make a higher monthly donation to Rhody Excellence. If every fan on here helps out, it really can make a difference, even if it's $10 a month.Jersey77 wrote: ↑3 months agoI think we will be able to compete with them Bone.rambone 78 wrote: ↑3 months ago We wont be able to compete with top P5 programs for recruits.

We have to win a few battles against our peers, the Daytons and VCU's of the world. Adam just made that point.
That's top of our league. Not the top of the sport.
The rest comes down to relationships and how that player feels they will fit in and get along with the team.
More important is the staff being able to first identify players that will make an impact.
But Ya, Fou isn't coming back. It's going to suck seeing him put up big numbers at another school in a year or two.

Always hard to know if it was the coach or if the player was not coachable. Fou’ s attempts to act like a point guard and dribble the length of the court only to turn it over has to be beyond frustrating to the coach . I think the last time Fou did it, might have given Archi plenty of reason to give up on the kid.section(105) wrote: ↑3 months agoYes, totally agree.

Also, I wondered how much effort Fou put in during his redshirt year to get stronger. To me, He looked similar to his redshirt year . Often wondered why he lost his balance so easily when he was in traffic.

I thought the defensive end of the court was the biggest weakness in his game. I am not sure how he was not coached up a bit more during his red shirt year and during the season.McRam wrote: ↑3 months agoAlways hard to know if it was the coach or if the player was not coachable.

Defense was everybody’s weakness this season. Nobody was coaches up enough apparently.
Foumena often times thought he was Durant attempting to go 1 on 4 coast to coast resulting in a terrible shot or turnover. Way too reckless on the break.
Also was a black hole any time the ball went to him in the post.
Definitely talented, but most likely drove Archie crazy multiple times a game.

I try not to read into IG story's from young players. I did take notice of this IG story repost he had of someone Luis clearly knows well.
https://www.instagram.com/stories/iamlu ... B5ZHZnNzNo
The wording "Life is a journey and every chapter is very interesting. NEXT UP!!!! PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL"
Wondering if this is a hint Luis wants to try and play overseas? He has been in college for four years and likely will graduate I would assume.

Isaiah Miranda is entering the portal again. Pretty sure he left the Oklahoma State program a while ago, only appeared in 3 games. Don’t know if Archie will show interest but I know Bryant will be involved.

He may be from Pawtucket but there are a lot of red flags surrounding him. He didn't work out at either NC State or OSU seeing very little action. Supposedly he and his family handlers have a much higher opinion of him than coaches. Given the issues Archie has had with his URI players, I would think he might have hesitations about going after someone with a reputation like Miranda.

I thought he left OK. State after just 3 games to pursue a professional career, according to the coach.
The coach did mention he obviously had some challenges, took time off for personal reasons.

Mitchell twins (granted that was Cox)

Talent usually trumps all, but I’m a little hesitant about these types of players now.

Totally agree, pro teams don’t ask for donations to pay their players…this is BS. Are we going to hold a bake sale next? Now that these kids will be paid, they are now pros…I’m not paying them. If I wanted to pay players, I’d buy a team (if I had the money…haha). Once again, we have this issue because of all the money in college sports, but they won’t share it and want us, the fans, to pay the athletes so they can keep all the money and not share with them?

At this point maybe Miranda just want to be close to home. I expect Providence, Bryant and Rhode Island will all kick the tires at least.
If he’s after big name image and likeness dollars we should be out. If he just wants to be close to home it’s worth pursuing IMO.
Agree the whole begging for bucks thing is weird and kinda creepy.

Coaches that were giving testimony this week said that players and families don’t care anymore about what your plans are for developing them and the family atmosphere etc…all they want to know is how much are you going to pay them.

Who runs the Ryan Center? And how much money have they given to the collective? Since they are making a profit off of URI Basketball, they should be shelling some dollars out for sure. Focus on that one for starters.

I do think there has been a serious change in culture. Abu occasionally talks about this on X. The money is one thing. But it's also the fact they nearly every kid was the "star" on their aau team. They've been praised their whole life and the idea of developing over the course of a 4 year period is such a foreign concept. So yes that sucks but it's the reality we deal with.

Listen, no one really wants to give up their own money. Bottom line is that this is how college basketball is going. If you bleed Keaney blue, you’ll support the collective. That does NOT mean every fan has to or should donate, everyone’s financial situation is different. I am only a very small donor and received a personal thank you from Stone. You just have to support it and not boycott the idea if you want a competitive basketball team. #gorhody https://rhodyexcellence.com/join/

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
This kind of mentality is the end of college sports. How can you compare grown men that have proven themselves and earned a JOB to lead a basketball team and program with all the responsibilities that come with that, to a kid who is playing a sport at a college (oh, on a full ride)? MOST successful coaches stay at a college for a long time. Some leave after a relatively short period of time because they have a better offer and opportunity. Hurley left after six years right? Coaches don’t jump around to 2-3-4 schools in 5 years. It’s a joke. But it’s more of a joke to compare the Coach to the collegiate player. I’m tired of this. Let the whole thing burn down until some sensible rules on are put in place.

Sure, some coaches stay at a college for a long time, as long as they get an extension and more money. And they don't jump around to 2-3-4 schools in 5 years because they have a contract that guarantees they'll get paid or get a hefty buyout. And I'm not saying all players should be getting millions per year like coaches do.Rhody_NYCT wrote: ↑3 months agoThis kind of mentality is the end of college sports.

Coaches have an incentive to stay. I'm sure more players would be happy to stay at the same school if given the same guarantees as a coach. Oh and what plays a major factor in how successful a coach is? I'm pretty sure its the players. Remember that saying its not the X's and the O's its the Jimmy's and the Joe's?
I don't think the current system is really the best way to handle all this, and I don't think it'll be the ultimate long term solution either. But I am just glad the players are finally getting a piece of the pie at least until a better system is in place. And I think a lot of these comments coming from coaches complaining about it are very disingenuous. It's the virtue signaling that bothers me.

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
The players deserve to make money, but it can't be a free for all. If there is no continuity then there will be a sport that eventually loses its popularity. And should all college athletes get paid? Or just football and basketball etc? There are so many things that need to be figured out here. And Since when is playing a D1 sport not a privilege? Especially on a high level. It's as if it's a punishment unless they are paid big bucks. This is insane. If they are all about making money and not interested in the college experience, go try and play in the g league or overseas. We need to figure out what exactly a college sport is. Is it semi-pro? Pro? Without college sports most of these guys would be without a basketball career. Like I said, a lot of these guys deserve something, but let's keep it in persecutive before the sport is ruined.adam914 wrote: ↑3 months agoSure, some coaches stay at a college for a long time, as long as they get an extension and more money.

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
It honestly sounds like we basically agree for the most part. Like I said, I'm not out here saying every player deserves millions. I do struggle with the transfer idea, just because I have yet to hear a compelling enough reason to convince me that a person shouldn't be allowed to transfer schools without a penalty if they want to. Whether that person is an athlete or not.Rhody_NYCT wrote: ↑3 months agoThe players deserve to make money, but it can't be a free for all.

There are so many things that need to be figured out here. And Since when is playing a D1 sport not a privilege? Especially on a high level. It's as if it's a punishment unless they are paid big bucks. This is insane. If they are all about making money and not interested in the college experience, go try and play in the g league or overseas. We need to figure out what exactly a college sport is. Is it semi-pro? Pro? Without college sports most of these guys would be without a basketball career. Like I said, a lot of these guys deserve something, but let's keep it in persecutive before the sport is ruined.adam914 wrote: ↑3 months agoSure, some coaches stay at a college for a long time, as long as they get an extension and more money.

I agree that there is a ton to figure out, its complicated, and the current system isn't the answer. I think ultimately it probably needs to be some kind of revenue sharing model or something. So the only athletes getting paid should be ones who are generating revenue for the schools, NCAA, sponsors, networks, etc. So yeah, for the large majority of athletes that's either going to be nothing or very little. I don't think I've ever seen an athlete say it's a punishment unless they are paid big bucks either. So I'm not sure where that's coming from. And if there was more of a legitimate minor league pathway in place, then maybe that would solve some of the issue as well, but right now there's not really.

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
Both college basketball and football have already lost their popularity to a lot of fans. College football had a good system with the 4 team playoff and the importance of the regular season, but now they are moving it to 14 teams. The only thing college basketball still has left is the first weekend of the tournament which is still the best weekend in sports. The rest of college basketball with the transfer portal, the NIL and the conference realignments have made both college basketball and football a lot less interesting and many people you talk with just don’t follow it like they used to.Rhody_NYCT wrote: ↑3 months agoThe players deserve to make money, but it can't be a free for all.

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
Yea you can’t compare a grown man who has a career making money supporting a family (in many cases) to a college student athlete who’s 18/19 years old making some extra scratch. Coaches or any employee should be obligated to stay at least 5-6 years, but it’s not comparable to the players.
