We've never targeted P6 guys moving down, for some reason. I'm sure PQ would say it's because none could get in here.
It was only a few posts ago that SF posted the tweet showing our interest in the BC guard. You even responded with "big guard". And, then, you post this???We've never targeted P6 guys moving down, for some reason. I'm sure PQ would say it's because none could get in here.
that's why he would need a waiverThink he would have to sit out a year since he's already transferred twice!
Ok Mr. Literal. Swiping right on one dude clearly demonstrates a long and storied pattern of actively and seriously pursuing P6 players every year. My mistake.It was only a few posts ago that SF posted the tweet showing our interest in the BC guard. You even responded with "big guard". And, then, you post this???
he does dip, but his release is plenty high. he's shooting it over guys who aren't always far off of him. he's clearly athletic enough. very bouncy and pretty long.Just watched his highlights from this year. Not sure what his A10 level skill is. His 3 point jumper loads from down at his waist and takes time to release. Looks a bit like a tweener to me. I’m obviously no expert and all but again SFBK is quite low level D-1. I feel like with Roche, Bigelow and Quinn you could see the skill set - at least 1 skill for each - that would translate anywhere but I’m not quite seeing it here.
I'm not sure how much recruits know about this but it certainly doesn't help at all when the highest echelons of university leadership cannot express a commitment and desire to win and win big. It is beyond frustrating that not only do we not have this desire but we can't even fake it anymore.I wonder what impact the comments on lowering expectations for the program and transition years have in recruiting. Let's be honest, if I'm an ACC player looking to transfer down to be a major contributor on a winning team, why would you consider transferring to a school that doesn't value winning?
Billups says he has taken one visit to George Mason this past Friday. He added he’s also received interest from Davidson, Richmond, JMU, Murray State, and VCU.
It isn't just one dude and you know that. Look at MD's list. BC, Cal, UNC, and 2 from Butler. And, that is just what is officially out there. We have likely contacted lots of others who don't share everything on Twitter. It's just laughable that you make comments like this, which are not only so easily proven wrong, but ones that often include a jab at Mooney, Hardt, or, like this latest one, PQ, getting on them for either doing or not doing what you wrongly posted about them.Ok Mr. Literal. Swiping right on one dude clearly demonstrates a long and storied pattern of actively and seriously pursuing P6 players every year. My mistake.
I agree with your assessment of our current situation. If we as so called fans continue to shoot our program in the foot, then the program will not strive. I have repeatedly pointed to this alarming trend, I understand wanting the best for our program, it is time that we stop stumping on a dead horse. If you want our program to be successful, its time to stop denigrating our program.I wonder what impact the comments on lowering expectations for the program and transition years have in recruiting. Let's be honest, if I'm an ACC player looking to transfer down to be a major contributor on a winning team, why would you consider transferring to a school that doesn't value winning? Add to it the underwhelming results of the past nearly 20 years, I'm really not suprised we dont do well with P6 players in the portal.
Come on down Joe Bamisile! He’s already been a 16 PPG and 5 RPG guy in the A10. Also averaged a steal and block per game. If his waiver is approved and he wants to come to UR this seems like a no brainer. Could be a better transfer than Blake Francis, just my two centsBut we need a guard that can do a lot and be an A10 level starter day 1, and we do need someone that can play defense and is athletic.

he looked like a man among boys at the Merrimack level. all at the rim.
Years is a double edged sword if the guy doesn’t pan out. I know nothing about Carney, this is just a general statement.all these guys look like depth behind our existing talent.
was more excited last year.
at least Carney has years.
yes yesIf we don't have a guard that can score off the dribble and shoot 3's from the portal by end of next week, this will be a big time failure for Mooney. He is working his way back into my dog house after this last season. This past season was the perfect opportunity to build off the NCAA season, and I like who we got in the portal. But either they weren't who we thought they were, OR Moon did not figure out how to blend them in and get the best out of them. Based on his slow adaptation, maybe this season we will be better. But we need a guard that can do a lot and be an A10 level starter day 1, and we do need someone that can play defense and is athletic. Hoping we have both by end of next week or we may be on a very slippery slope.
Gilly in that recent interview said he got some NIL money last year at Richmond. I still don't think it's big money unless you're P5 monster or have a Ruiz, but it can be enough to sway some kids.P6 talent - Good P6 players are getting good NIL money I believe. I know sman has shot this down, but there is more solid evidence.

I was in favor of the NIL concept in that an athlete should be able to earn money. but I didn't foresee it as a recruiting thing. hard enough being a mid major and competing. I want the Spiders to get great players, but I personally am not willing to pay money to make it happen.
If so, next season does not look promising.Mooney did well last year I thought, but have the feeling he is not going to fare as well this year. Sounds like we had guys on campus according to sdad. I would be glad to be proven wrong, but my guess is we are going into next season just adding depth guys, no guard that can carry us or athletic interior players
18 seasons. Any coach in any sport is supposed to build a program.Nelson wouldn't have played 30+ minutes so often, and would have been benched much earlier than he was. But, it was pretty obvious he was all we had there.

How did we end up here?

In the one game he played against us two seasons ago he had 29 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 turnover.
