Oh I am renewing no matter what. The Rhody Rams are my team.

No doubt, was planning on doing it at some point this week. Finally catching my breath after getting back from Pittsburgh yesterday!

Just imagine what tonight would be like on the old Projo boards! Or don’t! Too scary.

What a dick

Now it’s on the New York Football Giants message board and a guy at the Esquire Tavern in San Antonio (I’m here for work) just saw my Rhody hat and said, I hope Hurley doesn’t go to UConn. Hahaha. We can’t escape it.

Dan said that family was real here and not just talk. I take him at his word and believe him. He now has concrete points to negotiate with. I.don't feel impending doom

.......so so many unknowns........What I know is that I will continue to cheer for and follow the laundry......as I have for many years......Go Rhody.....

A school can release a player from his LOI, but can't put conditions on the release. It's all or nothing, and the school always releases the player because if you don't, it's used against you in recruiting.

This is just untrue

You can put restrictions on transfers, but not LOI releases.

Just sent Thorr an email. I hope I'm not too late.

Well, I’m not sure that’s true, but that Connecticut source from earlier was trippin.

Can you give me examples of recruits being released AND going (It's not a transfer) to the school that his coach left for? I can't think of any.
I can think of plenty where they go to another school (usually a school that was in their final 3) but not where they followed the coach.

The New York Football Giants have a message board? Ummm....why?

Hurley took this job and made it one of the most desirable in the conference. We’re one of the big dogs now in the A10. As long as they make another good hire, there’s no reason that the program can’t maintain its growth.

I didn’t expect excellence 10 years ago. I do now. For that, I thank DH.

Dan Hurley is still our coach right now. Period. If at some point in the near or distant future he is no longer. URI has again become a plum job and there will be many qualified candidates to chose from. I like coach Cox but many qualified candidates will be looked at by the powers that be before a dicision is made. Right now I hope Mr Hurley will be our coach when Mr Cox gets his first head coaching job somewhere else.

GO RHODY!

Haha, how dare you!

A lot of “what do we do with our 2nd pick?” talk.

Needless to say I’ve spent a lot more time here in the past few years...

I didn't condemn you. But if DH does leave, Cox may or may not be a candidate for coach. No need to pom pom wave on the next potential coach when nothing has happened. Just said you were being a dick to Brady, that's all.

For anyone from UConn saying that Hurley to UConn was a done deal, I'd use a quote from Andy Griffith: "Don't count your peaches until they're all fuzzed up good."

I sent Dan and Thorr an email. Tied in Ram Family to Dan.
Asked Thorr to let the alumni and fans know what we can do to help keep Dan.
I let them both know the # of fans that have told me they are getting season tickets and/or making a donation in the last two days.
I told them that I made my largest donation this morning to support where I can.
Offered to volunteer to help fundraising (to Thorr).

Hopefully if they see the outpouring it will help a little.

Besides Ace I trust this guy too

Brady has it right. URI's problem is that good coaches are going to leave and bad coaches have been allowed to stay too long. There will be an impressive number of applicants for any URI opening.

Respect.

Absolutely right, nothing has happened yet and Dan is still our coach at this time. If something does happen, unfortunately, and he does go, my initial thought would be that I would be very happy with David Cox. Many will differ on that point if it does unfortunately come to that that's a discussion for later. But to compare David Cox to Jerry D in any way at all, even mention in the same sentence is foolish. Cox has a great deal of experience as a coach, a very intelligent and engaging guy who has been here a few years , knows the school, program and culture. Jerry D was none of that or close. No experience at all at any level and Lamar Odom was a once in a lifetime talent for a school like URI . That decision was obviously awful and devastating to the program, but I think Coach Cox deserves better than that comparison or analogy to keep a recruits or recruits by hiring a coach. His resume and work we have seen deserves better.

Help us out here Rod if you can.

It’s tough going thru this every year.

I hope Hurley leverages all his demand and keeps getting what he wants at URI.

In the past he has asked for program building wants and not necessar his own wallet.

I hope this is the case again this time and is a win-win for RHODY

collegehoopsjunky almost went full Pat Riley at the gas station in that thread. Cant believe such message board gold was locked.

“Listen, I could give a crap about who’s got an opening anywhere. I haven’t thought about it for a second. I could care less about any other school in the country looking for a coach,” he said. “My heart and my mind is with this program and these players.”

And Koch is another voice of reason

Kyle Young for Ohio State just this past summer

I say that is Bill Koch showing up after all the shots have been fired and stating the obvious.

Okay so all the local guys (except for Crapano .... typo intentional) are saying Hurley is waiting for URI’s best counter offer. Let’s hope Thorr and Dooley get it done again.

Well I hope they give a raise this time. He deserves it and should be accomplished. Also, the marketing department needs to get their head out of their ass and start soliciting donations for the program.

I don’t know if this is a sarcastic or pompous response to my post , but I’ll answer the question.

Uh, Moore was an assistant at UCONN for multiple years, as you know.

Lmao if you think Hurley will be the coach of this team next year that's fine. You're a fool, but that's fine. My source is standing firm on what has been said all season. I'll even make a one sided bet. If I am wrong I'll humbly come on here and apologize and never post again. I'm sure when I'm right, you won't even apologize.

If he goes to uconn we will have to wonder if Moore was in his ear about it. I doubt Moore minds commuting to Storrs from his home in tolland (5 minutes away) instead of the hour commute to Kingston. Uconn fans think there have been ‘back channels’ on this deal for months. Would not have been hard for Moore to be uconn a inside guy on what makes Hurley tick and what he wants for his programs. Could be a conspiracy theory or could be truth. I dont know. Moore left uconn on good terms to take the Quinnipiac job and he’s one of Calhoun’s guys. I doubt he would have hung up the phone when uconn insiders called him this year to ask about Hurley knowing there would be a job for him 5 minutes from home at greater pay.
