Re: 2/11 | George Mason | 2:00PM (ESPN+)
If this is the team he is trotting back out next season there will be a whole lot of losing again. The league stinks, but the ceiling on this type of talent is .500. It would be one thing if the whole team was young and showed promise while developing. This is the not the case with this team. Archie needs to admit his mistakes on the talent on this roster and make drastic changesJersey77 wrote: ↑1 year ago Again, I am not going to get worked up over these losses or our record.
Not totally surprised this season.
If this is how we look next year, I will be very concerned.
But again, I don't see a huge roster turnover after the season as some here have posted.
At least, that isn't the impression I get from Archie or his strategy in building the roster.

He also liked the tweet about him telling off Archie that was posted earlier. Good times.

Ok, I see he is a 6'4" 3* PG. Not too bad of a signing. Let's hope he takes over.Jersey77 wrote: ↑1 year agoBlueram I know you would like 13 players all 4* and everyone happy in their role.
I don't think that's happening.
Remember Archie did recruit Cam who is a PG has size, can shoot, and facilitate.

Freeman honestly might be my least favorite URI player ever (non-criminal category) after today. Like just put your name in the portal now. Don't just like tweets talking about transferring, be about it. It would suck to lose someone with his talent, but it's clearly not working the way either side hoped

Re: 2/11 | George Mason | 2:00PM (ESPN+)
Ok, so this team needs:
A real PG
A big wing AKA a 3
A 4
And a 5.
Find that we should be in the top 3rd of the A10 next year.

I assumed the shit Freeman got from the GW camp after transferring here was based on him transferring to a school in the same conference, now I wonder if there was more to it

Did Weston sprain his ankle near the end of the game? If he did Hutchinson might get a little run.

I don’t care honestly. He can keep his shitty attitude on the bench. Also I hate his hero ball style of play. It only works when he’s actually making his shots.

Re: 2/11 | George Mason | 2:00PM (ESPN+)
I am now thinking this team will go winless on the road this season. Had thought they might get lucky somewhere along the way but they are running out of games. I think they will be underdogs in both their remaining games at Fordham and Loyola. Will very much be a longshot in the Bronx and don't expect a win there. Will be slight dog in Chicago but don't think this team is capable of even beating them.

As best I can tell Freeman felt disrespected when he was put back in the game with 35 seconds left down 8 after being taken out with 7:21 to go.
He tweeted about how there's a difference between teaching and disrespect and he liked a few tweets from a GM fan at the game. Those include one that said don't be surprised if Brayon Freeman transfers again and one mentioned that Freeman gave Archie an earful when he was put back in and barely took part in the play

Obviously if there is a disconnect between Bray and Archie and there is a mutual agreement for him to move on, that may change Archie's thought process on how he uses the portal.
Again, losing doesn't always bode well in building the team's confidence and player moral.
That will be big job for Archie this off-season to make sure the players here buy in and are totally committed.

Last played on Tues. With that time, Archie will have the TEAM ready to defense Odoro.
They will dbl Odoro once he puts.the ball on the floor.
2. He will,commit turnovers.
3. Our team is still playing very hard in spite of their record. Is a George Mason playing well considering their last two games?
4. Sam and T will foul early and often on Odoro and put him at free throw line. No uncontested layups for Mason.
Am I crazy to think this is easy money to bet on Rhody (especially if Bailey is out) or am I overdosing on Prevegan?

It is quite odd the quick hook he has for Freeman.
The tweet saying there’s a difference between teaching and disrespecting actually makes sense.
Other players seem to get away with a lot more than he does.

Raise your hand if you expected Rhody to be where we are. Not much left for me to say. If the starting five to open next season has more than two players currently on the roster, I will be surprised.

It also seems like Rhody Vault was right in his “I’m not in the trust Archie at all costs” opinion.
I mean we haven’t won a road game at all this season.
Absolutely pathetic on all fronts.

Weston and Alex both gave good minutes today.
I for one don’t want to blow it all up, nor do I think Archie will want to, but PG, the wing and a big need to be figured out if we have a chance at seeing major improvement next season.
Bray situation is it’s own animal. I do agree with 15 that his leash seems shorter than others. But I also can see how difficult he is to coach - he had numerous defensive lapses that led to layups including not boxing out the shooter on a foul shot. Not sure I’ve ever seen a foul shooter get his own rebound and dunk. That was a first. Kids do stupid things on social media so not reading into it anymore than a frustrated team that’s sick of losing.

Another thing.
If Archie can’t coach a kid he recruited and wanted, what’s to say he would’ve been able to coach the twins he inherited?

Re: 2/11 | George Mason | 2:00PM (ESPN+)
It's a difficult thing coaching at the beginning of a rebuild. You're not necessarily coaching to maximize results year one, you're trying to build something.
I mean I'd love it if Archie pulled guys like Thomas and Martin when they jack up another three pointer, but at the same time it's not like Brayon got pulled after one bad shot. He wasn't particularly good today and we don't know what other issues were going on.
Everyone, players and fans, know by now that Archie is going to pull people over bad defense and attitude and isn't going to pull guys over poor shot selection. One guy just can't seem to get with the program
