Yes indeed. It takes just a moment to set someone as a foe.

Just click on the Profile button seen on any of their posts. Then click the Add Foe button just under their avatar or online/offline status (top-left section of profile). That's it.

That said, my patience is running thin with Sean.

I don't know if this is a precedent you would want to set plus (unless you can ban IP addresses) he would just make a new name and become even worse. I just think we all need to try to not engage him and he will eventually get bored and go away.

so much for fortune transferring closer to home...

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 10 years ago

Odd sense of geography.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 10 years ago

Kind of like Clemens going closer to home (Toronto).

Iggy1979 · Unread post by **Iggy1979** » 10 years ago

This had nothing to do with geography (obviously). This was the case of a kid who didn't want to play for Cooley.

Gerard Coleman might end up at Northeastern. That would be a good spot for him.

You know what they say. The third time is a charm. Just ask Billy Baron.

He wants to be able to play and score, so he had to go down a level. URI said thanks but no thanks. Other mid-majors probably did, too.

It's interesting how some of these fifth year transfer guys approach their last year. Some move to be the focus of the offense and get big numbers, others want to just win, even if they end up with a more minor role. Neither approach is wrong, it's just what they're looking for out of the experience.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 10 years ago

I think for a guy like Coleman who was so highly touted coming out
of high school, and has been kind of a disappointment, this may
be his only chance to star somewhere.

And if Coleman was interested in winning, he would've stayed at Gonzaga. As Rod says, he wants to have a big year.

Looks like some people never learn from their mistakes.
Kaza Keene dragged his decision making out so long with
CFL and Canisius, that they brought in a PG from Poland instead.
I don't know who advises this kid, but...........

Iggy1979 · Unread post by **Iggy1979** » 9 years ago

So Gerard Coleman to Northeastern has never been officially announced. Any chance, now the Powell situation has been resolved, that he ends up at URI. We know there's interest from his end. Any interest from Hurley's end?

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Or anyone else that's a post grad player?

I believe Coleman is not eligible from what I heard grades may be an issue.

Something becomes public and then they change their decision? Huh, how unusual...

The relevant part:

SportsNet New York reported earlier Thursday that Brown had been denied his release from USM despite already graduating from the school. On Thursday evening, USM released a statement saying that the athletic department had changed its stance.

"Upon returning to the office tonight, after two full days away, I had the opportunity to fully review Aaron Brown's written request for a release," USM athletic director Bill McGillis said in a statement. "I was able to contact and visit with Aaron personally to discuss his request and to understand his family circumstances. I was also able to visit with coach (Doc) Sadler to gain his perspective."

Brown would be perfect for URI. He's the guy of the fifth year
players, I wanted to see here.

I always had a soft spot for BC because my first memory of watching a football game was Flutie's hail mary and they were always New England's college football team, but between taking away Preston Murphy and Jim Foster and being in on every recruit we're in on they're really starting to piss me off. Might have to start cheering for BU in the Bean Pot!

Micheal_Phelps_22 · Unread post by **Micheal_Phelps_22** » 9 years ago

Says he shot 39% from 3 point range last year. Yes please. He had a pretty good game against us last year if I remember correctly. Scored around 15 points.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Well, Hurley coached this kid at St. Benedict's.
The edge BC may have is playing time.
Nice player, for sure.

Gunboat · Unread post by **Gunboat** » 9 years ago

Found this quote from when he transferred from Temple:

"Brown said he hasn't decided on a destination. If he had his wish, Brown said, he would like play for his former high school coach, Dan Hurley, the new head man at Rhode Island.

However, that is unlikely because he would have to sit out the next two seasons since he would be transferring within the Atlantic Ten Conference. Temple won't become a Big East Conference member until the 2013-14 season."

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Very interesting!

Micheal_Phelps_22 · Unread post by **Micheal_Phelps_22** » 9 years ago

Well the opportunity to do just that is now available if he still wants it. Here's to hoping that he does!

Ramulous · Unread post by **Ramulous** » 9 years ago

What connection to BC ?

eli#10 · Unread post by **eli#10** » 9 years ago

I get it--he is a 5th year player with plenty of experience and decent stats but whose minutes will he be taking. I guess he would be an upgrade over JR but would he be willing to come off the bench as a 5th year player?

Get all the guys on the boat. Sort out the minutes later.

BFC · Unread post by **BFC** » 9 years ago

Completely unrelated to Aaron Brown, but 4 years ago, URI was in the final 4 for a 4-star player from Georgia named Dai-Jon Parker. He chose Vanderbilt. It was announced today he's transferring to a D-II school.

Was not cleared academically to transfer to an Ncaa team is what I heard.

Hallice Cooke will miss the next 6 to 8 months of practice time in the year he's sitting out. He's having surgery on both hips to deal with some lingering issues (cartilage tears).

URI (and Preston at BC) will pass because he's an academic risk.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

They decided not to recruit him and cancelled his visit
two years ago.
I don't see why they'd go back on their thinking, which at the
time, was, he's a bad fit.
Guy's out of shape, a problem child. Memphis coach Josh Pastner did say he was
a good student there, so who knows?

Iggy1979 · Unread post by **Iggy1979** » 9 years ago

And now he's having academic problems at Tenn. Maybe he'll go juco.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

He was supposed to go juco when he left Memphis,
and got a waiver to play for TN.
Kid's just a problem. Was in prep school and it continued
in college.

ramster · Unread post by **ramster** » 9 years ago

I watched the Tennessee Games in Orlando when they beat Santa Clara and then lost to Kansas and Marquette.
Against Kansas he shot an airball from the Free Throw Line (I know maybe he would fit in here

) and after he air balled the FT the crowd got on him with the old Air Ball chant. It was interesting because he smiled and kind of played to the crowd in a gentle sort of way. He seems talented but does not play hard or tough all of the time.
Maybe some Coaches could get more out of him but I think the Tennessee HC (formerly of Southern Miss) does not care for nonsense and less than 100% effort all the time. Big guy, tall and solid, and has talent inside but I think I'll pass.
