Jordan Hare ‘Likely’ to Re-join Rhody Program; Hurley Adds Cox to Staff
Jordan Hare, a 6-foot-10 sophomore, is “likely” to re-join the Rhode Island program for next season, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told SNY.tv.
Hare is listed on the Rams’ roster for 2014-15.
The news was previously reported by the Providence Journal.
The Saginaw, Mich., native played his freshman season for head coach Dan Hurley, but missed his sophomore year due to personal reasons.
Rivals.com ranked Hare as its 30th best power forward and the 120th-best player in the country in the class of 2012.
His return bodes well for the Rams, who also return frontcourt players Gilvydas Biruta, Hassan Martin and Ifeanyi Onyekaba and adds junior college transfer Earl Watson.
The addition of Hare also means Rhode Island is no longer recruiting 6-8 Oak Hill forward Rokas Gustys, who is expected to announce Monday or Tuesday for Hofstra, UAB and Tulane.
HURLEY ADDS COX TO STAFF
Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley has added former Rutgers associate head coach David Cox to his staff, sources told SNY.tv.
Cox has strong ties to the Washington/Maryland/Virginia area and ostensibly replaces Preston Murphy, who left Rhody for Boston College.
Rutgers parted ways with Cox following a 12-21 season under first-year head coach Eddie Jordan.Follow Adam Zagoria on TwitterAnd like ZAGS on Facebook
