The Hurleys reshaping URI Rams

Rhode Island coach Danny Hurley and assistant Bobby Hurley are doing everything they can to make sure the Rams are even more competitive this season. That’s why the two Hurleys were in Virginia on Wednesday checking out Virginia Episcopal School 6-8 forward Ifeanyi Onyekaba.

On Thursday, Onyekaba was on campus trying to be admitted to school. If he can be admitted then the Nigerian native would likely have to go through a waiver to play this season. Still, getting Onyekaba to come to URI in mid-September is an example how aggressive the Hurleys are becoming in reshaping the Rams. A number of programs were hoping to land Onyekaba for the fall of 2013, not immediately for 2012.

Rhode Island picked up a tremendous point guard prospect Saturday when E.C. Matthews pledged to the Rams.

The 6-foot-4, 180-pound Matthews out of Romulus (Mich.) High also had offers from Minnesota, Iowa, Marquettte, Providence, Missouri, UConn, Xavier and Dayton, his coach, Nate Oates, told SNY.tv.

“I was real comfortable with the coaching staff and the Hurley Brothers,” Matthews told SNY.tv. “What stood out the most was that they wanted me as a point guard only. They’re telling me that they see something in me as a point guard only, and academic-wise it stood out for me, too
