I think if we signed Berry they both would still be here.

You can think that all you want but you are wrong.
Not the case according to his coach.

R83, where are you getting this? Did his coach say something on line somewhere?

83 has very reliable sources. Trust him on this.

I'm sure he does, I'm not doubting that. I was just quoted if it was posted on social media or available to see somewhere.

Look in Abou’s personal thread 83 mentioned one of the reasons he left was his peers around him were telling him he wouldn’t get playing time here with the twins even though Abou was originally fine w the twins

What personal thread? It seems he deleted his tweet about committing here, I'm not sure if that's what you mean. He should be listening to this staff with regards to playing time, not his peers. I'm sure his peers think they're saying things that are in his best interests, but that might not be the case.

Directly from his coach that wasn’t public.

[Iggy1979]

Can’t blame him for decommiting

[Rhody83]

[eli#10]

NOT GOOD IF TRUE.

I think the twins will apply for a waiver - and have a shot to get it. This is why we do need to find a grad transfer Big as a backup plan, but it will be tough to get a good one that will want to be a backup plan.

I don’t expect the rule to be effective this summer because there will be 1000 kids in the portal the next day and with limited recruiting calendar it would be messy.

[DC_Rams]

We will be in trouble in that proves true

The twins have no shot at a waiver. Go read the Transfer Rules.

[CamsRams]

So Fatts comes back and Tyrese sits and doesn’t care cause he can “live his life”

[PeterRamTime]

Of course the NCAA will probably do that and piss people off as usual.

I agree. They aren’t getting waiver. What would be different about any transfers we have had in the past or any of the 300 or 400 players in the transfer portal? They have nothing to file a waiver about. Only shot is if rule goes into effect right away.

[Section104]

I’m not sure we’ll have a season at this point anyway - will be an interesting couple of months.

The have less of a case than other transfers. Others enrolled at URI in January. Others were forced off their team or out of their school.
I believe the Mitchells even took courses at Maryland this semester. They need to do thst because of NLOI contract requirement.

[RamStock]

You have to think he is trying to either take Mitchell and parlay into a head coaching job somewhere else or take over as head coach of Umass. I wouldn’t want to trust this guy on my staff as a head coach.

[JimSidd]

Quite a buzz created earlier today when Purdue’s Matt Haarms entered the portal: grad transfer. This was unexpected. He stated he’s heard from 25 schools already and expects to hear from more. Mostly P5 schools, including Kentucky, Louisville and Arizona. A few non P5 schools, but not Rhody. From a personal standpoint, I would like Rhody to make a play if for no other reason that he’s a dead ringer for the artist Morrissey.

[Rhodymob05]

Yea his transferring makes no sense.

I think they will apply and have a story to tell. Unlike GTown, I think Maryland plays ball because they don’t want their mom blowing them up on social media. Not saying they get a waiver, but plenty of players seem to get one each year that we think shouldn’t, so why not try.

[rhodyfan3000]

lol, she's such a cool mom.

I love when she blows people up on social media, haha

[rambone 78]

They stayed enrolled at Maryland 2nd semester. They weren't kicked out.

That to me gives them zero chance of getting a waiver.

[Rhodymob05]

At first, that reasoning sounds backwards "they didn't get kicked out of school, so we are sorry, they can't be eligible to play this semester".

[Rhody83]

Time for URI to focus on the 145 Grad Transfers and JUCO. A grad transfer balances out the classes a little with only two Seniors. At most Cox will take one more Fr.

[TruePoint]

Whoops nevermind. The tweet ended up loading for me.

[Rhody19/21]

Who else are recruiting other than Murray and Gage? Any other JUCOs out there of interest?

[URIRecruitingInfo]

Who else are recruiting other than Murray and Gage? Any other JUCOs out there of interest?

Grad Transfers: Evan Cole, Quan Jackson, Devin Gage
Sit-out Transfers: David DeJulius, Isaiah Wilkins

Haven't seen us mentioned with any available JUCOs.

[rambone 78]

I would assume there are others besides who's on that list.

When it comes to transfers the staff is verrrryyyy stealthy...…

Would not be surprised one bit if we get a commit out of the blue.

It always ends up that way it seems.

[reef]

I am confident that the transfers will be immediately eligible this year just a guess

[Ramulous]

Interesting to read that the school you are leaving has to give you a release to get immediate eligibility

[rhodyfan3000]

I wonder if URI will give Tyrese a release.

Oh, what am I saying? Of course we will. We are the good guys in this movie.

[Rhody15]

Sets a bad precedent if we don't. That would scare kids away from coming here.

[RamStock]

They are 100% will. You do something like that it does nothing but hurt the program.

[rhodyfan3000]

I was thinking more along the lines of, it would break tradition not to do so, but you both make solid points too.

And by the way, we are the good guy school, I wasn't being sarcastic about that. We turn the other cheek here.

[RamStock]

I wonder if URI will give Tyrese a release.

They will allow the release you can bet a 100% guarantee. You do something like that it does nothing but hurt the program.

It doesn't seem to be hurting Georgetown for their actions involving Walker, causing him to lose a semester of eligibility.

Wonder if Brandon Murray is aware of what they did?

[DC_Rams]

Dear God, please let this be true.

[steviep123]

Dear God, please let this be true.

DC, just curious are you for the rule in general or only because it will help for next season?

[DC_Rams]

Dear God, please let this be true.

Haha! Absolutely.

[DeanDome88]

This rule probably improves the bottom line for the NCAA. As long as they are changing rules do schools really need 13 scholarship players? I recall the NBA having 12 men rosters back in the day.

[rambone 78]

We in particular need a 13 man limit.

With all the comings and goings, when have we had a full roster?

We end up not filling the 13th spot....and then we lose more to eligibility issues.....

12...11....10....

[Rhody19/21]

Whose our last target?

[Rhody15]

Whose our last target?

Has to be a big guy.

[DC_Rams]

Grad Transfer.

[PeterRamTime]

Gotta be a big guy, but I'm thinking we have to wait for the transfer rule to pass. If it doesn't pass we want the best one possible for sure. If we get that guy now, what does that mean for the Twins, Harris, Toppin and Walker?

Personally I think we have enough right now. The Twins, Harris, Walker and then Toppin being able to play at the four. If we bring in a quality big I feel like one of those guys leaves, probably Walker, but would a real quality big want to just have Walkers minutes? Would he want to split time with the Twins, Harris trio?

Walker already transferred once, doubt he does again.

[DC_Rams]

I think we need to hold a ship.

We are okay for right now.

I think the rule will pass.

Handling over 1,000 transfers after next season will be crazy.
