'14 MA SG Jared Terrell (URI Commit)

There's just so much whining and speculation in this thread from people that know nothing about what really goes on in the recruiting process. Let the damn thing play out and the kid decide where he wants to go to school! I'm chuckling in my office at some of the responses here.

GBG, it's the blanket defense of the staus quo. Everything is beautiful!
Blue skies! Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!
Yeah, KB, we're all fucking idiots, who know shit, right?
Well, sorry to break your smugness, but I've seen more players come and go from URI that
you'll ever know.
Factors have changed since that weekend when EC and Hassan committed.
As for Terrell, that "close to home" thing was bullshit.
The giveaway was when Boswell said, "It wasn't a good fit" at OSU.
Meaning, JT couldn't be the star and was over recruited.
Anyone doubt he'll wind up at Pitt?

Not making any accusations here, certainly not against Pitt at this moment, it's the dirty stuff that goes on in the recruiting process that I hate. I still think to this day that OK. St. played dirty, and we can't compete with that. I want Jared to go where he wants to go. I've been told he really likes URI and wants to come here. If something changes, I'm suspicious once again.

This kid thinks he's too good for URI and the A-10.
His actions twice show that. Time to stop kissing his ass and those around him.
Watch him transfer from wherever he goes in another year.
On to the next one up.
Anyone who dismisses Bobby and Preston as not significant losses, is using the ostrich approach.

FWIW, I am not sure URI fans - or BC fans - should wring their hands over where things stand. I follow BC recruiting closely - especially FB - and I have seen this rodeo many times before! These are 18 year-old kids and the way they arrive at their decisions are, understandably, not the way adults usually do. I accept that as a given. If he were to go to BC...wonderful! If he doesn't, I hope he goes to you guys. (I really like the fans who post here - a great bunch of folks who are passionate about their school and gracious to visitors (unfortunately, a rare thing on these boards). In any event, BC basketball, as well as URI basketball, will survive and thrive irrespective of where JT ultimately decides to go.

URI BB has a lot going for it. Great coach, great facilities, a solid core of returning talent. If JT decides to go elsewhere, Hurley will just bring in another great talent.

Ditto for BC. I would, however, just like to respond to the poster above who described BC basketball as "sucking forever". That just isn't true. Certainly since the last coaching change; but if you look at the last 15 years, it has actually been very good:

Blue Man, it isn't just URI. I defy you to go find me a team from a non-major conference coming off multiple years of averaging single-digit wins that turned their program around instantaneously by recruiting only elite players and landing all of their recruiting targets. You can go do the research and get back to me, or you can take my word for it that it hasn't happened. The way you build a program is incrementally by adding solid pieces and finding undervalued players and implementing a system that works. Bitching and moaning and acting like a hysterical five year old because an elite player you are recruiting got an offer from a high major school is as pointless as it embarrassing.

You believe your expectations are higher for the program because you are more willing to act like an imbecile about it, but in the long term we want to get to the same place. Where we differ is our approach, and therefore our short term expectations. This isn't a movie - you don't succeed by wanting it really, really bad and taking no prisoners and kicking doors down. You succeed by having a sober approach and a workable plan and executing it. Rebuilding a program that was in the shape we were in two springs ago is a long game.

Deja vu. This is the exact same whining we got before Garrett signed. He won't sign with us. He only wants to play for a BCS school. He's just stringing us along. Hurley can't bring in any talent. Stop being nancies. He hasn't signed at Pitt or BC. Writing is on the wall? Bull, you have no clue, because no one does. There is no writing on the wall right now.

TP, a team did it over the past 2 years. We played them each year actually. Does Larry Brown ring a bell? SMU was NEVER a basketball school. Ever. In 2013, they recruited Kevin Frazier, an ESPN Top 100 SG, and 4 star recruit. In this upcoming recruiting class, he has the 5th ranked recruit IN THE NATION coming into SMU in Emmanuel Mudiay. Yeah, they should've made the tournament this past year as well (got robbed), but still made it to the finals of the NIT only to lose by 2 points to Pitino Jr. If that's not bringing in power recruits, I don't know what is? He got Mudiay to commit there over Kansas, Baylor, and Kentucky. That's a turnaround in 2 years TP, from a program that never had prominence in the basketball world. Brown took a pretty bare cupboard and turned it around. Now, I think he's a damn good coach, his track record speaks for itself, but talent does play a HUGE factor in why they became successful.

As for BC, I haven't knocked them, their campus or anything else.
If anything is suspect, it's their current roster. So what?
BAR is right. We have no standing to knock any other school's fanbase or program.

Oh, and TP, there was a school given tthe death penalty, a school with no winning basketball
tradition at all, whose coach was hired with four scholarship players remaining,
in a conference with perennial top 20 schools.
Check out with Scott Drew did with Baylor in shitty Waco, Texas, and tell me it
can't be done here.

Comparing Larry Brown and Dan Hurley is ludicrous.

If JT comes here, it'll be great. If not, oh well. We're still improving, just at a slower rate than we initially expected. I don't think we should cut losses because he's taking his time to decide. I also think we're still in the lead, based on our advantages to BC and Pitt.

comparing Larry Brown to Dan Hurley? we had and would have had more quick recruiting successes like that if Harrick stuck around, a national championship coach. but that is an anomaly.
not fair to even put DH and Larry Brown in the same sentence at this point. if you have an apples to apples comparison swing away, but that's not it. he's a HOF coach, with NBA and NCAA titles and 50 years in the business.

I'm not dumb guys, they aren't comparable. Responding to one point, that's all. It's been done.

Larry Brown is a HOF coach in 2 levels of basketball, Hurley will never get there. Scott Drew's transformation of Baylor is a much better comparison.

Also, Pitt's rivals.com insider just tweeted out that Terrell will likely stay closer to home, and not go to Pitt for what it's worth.

Baylor isn't in a major conference? And putting aside the fact that Larry Brown could have started a program from scratch and gotten a couple guys to play for him, he hasn't made the NCAA tournament and has missed on plenty of guys. So even as an exception that proves the rule, he hasn't exactly shown that is the way to go. I was thinking more about non-major conference programs that have started a run of prolonged and sustained success by targeting elite guys early in their rebuild. I will not accept SMU as an answer at this point.

Oh, sorry Drew had 7 scholarship players.
I don't give a damn if they play in the Big 12, they hadn't won a tournament game since 1950!
"The 2005 Bears were hindered by only having 7 scholarship players and recorded only one win in conference play. In spite of these challenges, head coach Scott Drew was able to put together a 2005 signing class ranked No. 7 nationally by HoopScoop.
The basketball program experienced a resurgence under coach Scott Drew with an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2008 for the first time in 20 years with a 9-7 conference record and the team's first national ranking in 39 years. The January 23, 2008 116-110 5OT win over Texas A&M at College Station officially became the longest game in Big 12 history. The 2008–09 team again was ranked early in the season but stumbled to a 5-11 conference finish before heating up in the Big 12 Tournament defeating both Kansas and Texas in route to the championship game versus Missouri, and lost by a score of 73-60. The 2008-2009 team won the program's first postseason victory since 1950 in its first round NIT victory over the Georgetown Hoyas in Waco."

Wow, TP. I'm done with this. Not that I need your acceptance to validate my point. If you don't look at Larry Brown's 2 years at SMU, and associate the words "successful rebuild" with it, I question your knowledge as a fan. I guess getting the 5th best recruit in the entire 2014 class to go to SMU over annual national title contenders doesn't count. Makes sense.

Remember, our first year with Hurley, the rag-tag bunch of players we had, absolutely smoked his team in the Ryan Center. I think back to that game, and how bad we were, to now. There's no comparison who the better program is at this point. Mainly because Brown is a legend and players would die to play for him, but nonetheless, he's made it work. You're delusional if you don't think what he's done counts as "success". Sure beats the hell out of anything we've done in the past 15 years.

Rod, BPR, you guys are both missing my point. You don't need to explain to me that Scott Drew has done a good job at Baylor or that Larry Brown can recruit. Those are neither things I'm disputing or relevant to URI. Baylor is a major conference team and has resources URI doesn't. SMU hired a hall of fame coach. I don't know that either of those are useful as models for URI. Mid-major type programs that have sustained success over a period of time (which is what I want, personally) have done it by building incrementally.

They were all teams that were becoming very good teams, and then all added a great player. Sly Williams was added to a team that was becoming very good with Jiggy Williamson and Stanley Wright. Kenny Green was added to a team that was becoming very good with Silk Owens and Tommy Garrett and John Evans. Lamar Odom was added to a team that was becoming very good with Antonio Reynolds-Dean, Tyson Wheeler and Cuttino Mobley. To me, this what this recruitment means, to possibly have a special moment with a special team in a couple of years. I believe we are on the verge of becoming a very good team with EC and Hassan. What do we need to do to get it to the next level? Get a Sly, a Green, an Odom. You could argue that getting a couple of those guys were unusual circumstances. Well, so is Terrell. Could Terrell be that guy? I think he could. That's why I think this is so huge. I will not say "Oh well". I want another special moment, another special team. Chances like these don't happen often, 3 teams in my 40 years or so as a fan. That's why I want this so badly. It is so close. We need this to happen!!!
