I went to URI, so I always follow their basketball team. Every year they are in position to make the NCAA tournament, and then they blow it. It seems they might not even get a shot this year with some very bad news coming from the URI campus...
"Junior Orion Outerbridge will miss the first semester to focus on academics," reported the Providence Journal. "The 6-9 forward is eligible to practice and can rejoin the Rams on the court following the completion of final exams in December."
He is by far their best player, and it could be a really rough year until they get him back. Basically, I think they are going to suck, but at least there is hope for the future...
URI got a verbal agreement for PG Domonique Bull. "Bull is well-known around the New England hoop circles. He's owned an advanced body for years and has been a key part of several powerhouse BABC teams since he joined that program as a 14 year old," reported the Providence Journal. Bull is built to suit his surname. ESPN Recruiting calls him a "physically imposing guard, built like a bulldog," with a real nose for taking the ball inside on dribble-penetration.
On top of that URI got freshmen Levan Shengelia and 7-foot-3 Blake Vedder, so it sounds like they could have a very good team after this season. Then again, I have fallen for this before.
