Sheesh...Robins Hall also had a flood a couple of weeks ago after a toilet malfunction, and now Lora Robins Court was evacuated yesterday due to a gas leak. Eventful semester in residential life so far!

Robins Hall residents flushed away in the second residence hall flood at UR in less than a week
Fourteen first-year students fled their rooms around 1:30 a.m. after a maintenance fix on a broken toilet went wrong, resulting in a propulsion of water similar to the one seen in Gray Court last Friday.

One of the longest standing programs in college sports is coming to an end.
The NCAA Division I Council approved the elimination of the National Letter of Intent program on Wednesday, ending a 60-year reign over collegiate athletics as the binding agreement between student athletes and member schools.
NLI (not to be confused with Name, Image, and Likeness/NIL) served as the formal agreement between a prospective student-athlete to attend a school for one full academic year. It had very little wiggle room until last year, when the Collegiate Commissioner's Association approved changes to the program's policy that allowed athletes to withdraw for their signed NLI for any reason and without penalty.
This change helped pave the way for the new portal landscape we see throughout college athletics, but most notably in football and basketball.
But without a binding agreement between a prospective student-athlete and a school, what's next for the NCAA?
According to a report from the Division I Council's September conference, the NLI program's core benefits and rules will transition into NCAA legislation and institutional athletic aid agreements.
While this may seem unclear, there is a prevailing sentiment amongst college coaches that this verbiage sets the stage for contracts between the school and athlete as revenue-sharing becomes the new norm in Division I.

X Factors

I know, with the losses and roster turnover - we have a ton of X factors. However - I feel like we have decent amount of "knowns". Am expecting between Walz' steady improvement year to year, and Beagle's solid numbers last two years the "5" position is in really goo shape. Hunt, feel good about him. Tyne - at minimum will be a solid contributor on D and expecting improvement on offensive side. If healthy we know what Roche can do. B.Artis when healthy is proven commodity IMO. Even GW3 - I think he is going to be a good contributor shooting the ball, and hopefully other areas. Dusan is a proven commodity on offensive side.
My X factors as to whether the 7 to 8 spot or lower predictions come through, or we compete at the very top of the A10 again are like this:
Robinson / Soulis - Group these guys together because I feel like both are really high potential guys, that bring something unique to the lineup.
Soulis. As we know, was very high on Soulis last year, but he was not healthy. Slow start this pre-season due to health again, but no need to rush. I think when healthy, he brings a really intriguing blend of size (looks huge in team picture), athleticism, and skill (based on his HS tape). Would love to see him be 100% healthy and be so good that he gets big minutes - but if he can be a 5-10 minute contributor at some point, think he brings some unique attributes into the game - also think he could be an impactful shot blocker possibly.
Jaylen - Strong, super athletic. With the losses of Bigs, Dji, and Harris - we lose a lot of athleticism, toughness, rebounding and D. Jaylen looks like a guy that may be able to fill that role from day 1. Based on HS tape, he looks like a Kevin Smith, D Garrett, Burton type of athlete, and that can translate immediately on boards, defense, if not right away on O.
Glou - Probably the guy on the roster hardest to wrap my head around. Hardly any tape from him in Greece. Not much PT at Uconn so hard to say there. Have to assume if they recruited him he was a top 100 type talent. If that guy can show up and has the skillset at the 3 - think it makes us really really solid.
Tanner - If not Glou, could really use Tanner to be a 3 and D guy. Good reports out of camp it seems. I want to see toughness in that Harris/Bigs mode in addition to shot making. Just need one guy to step up and be a + contributor on the wing.
Graham - crowded back court, but if Roche is not healthy - could see Graham stepping into a zone buster role at times. Looked a step slow last season, but reports seem to indicate he has found his D1 sea legs. Great NEPSAC season as senior. 4 for two guy
