Mitchell blocks 8 shots, URI wins defensive battle with BC
Ishmael El-Amin scored 12 points, Makhel Mitchell blocked a career-high eight shots and Rhode Island beat Boston College 57-49NOVEMBER 18, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tres Berry - Debut on hold Berry (ankle) did not take the court in Tuesday's 57-49 victory over Boston College.
Impact Berry has now missed three consecutive contests since tweaking his ankle in exhibition play, though it was a good sign he was dressed prior to Tuesday's tipoff. It's possible the freshman hasn't cracked the rotation with Rhode Island only using nine players in the close non-conference matchup. His next chance to take the court will be Saturday against Tulsa, though he should still be considered questionable until further notice.

Jalen Carey - Scores eight in return Carey (foot) posted eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 0-0 loss to Boston College.
Impact Carey missed a Nov. 12 contest due to a foot injury but was present in warmups Wednesday and ultimately took the court as one of the first reserves off the bench. He should continue in this capacity for the 3-0 Rams.

Tres Berry - Dressed pregame Berry (ankle) is in uniform during pregame warmups, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Berry has yet to play this season due to an ankle injury, but it looks like that will end Wednesday against Boston College. Berry was able to practice on Monday as well and should mix into the backcourt rotation.

Jalen Carey - In uniform for warmups Carey (foot) is in uniform during pregame warmups, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Carey was expected to play in this contest after missing this team's last game against Bryant with a foot issue. Carey should mix into the backcourt rotation Wednesday against Boston College.
NOVEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Abdou Samb - Will take a redshirt Samb will redshirt this season, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Rhode Island had a decent amount of frontcourt depth, so they could afford to save a year of eligibility for the freshman. Samb will hope to crack the rotation in 2022-23.

Tres Berry - Dressed for practice Berry (ankle) dressed for practice on Monday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact It's unclear exactly how much work Berry was able to get in. He did not appear in any of the first two games this season and is questionable for Wednesday's game against Boston College.
NOVEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Carey - Should be available Wednesday Carey (foot) is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against Boston College, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Carey was able to practice on Monday as he hopes to return to action against Boston College. Carey should provide an impact off the bench if he suits up.

Tres Berry - Set to sit again Berry (ankle) remains out of uniform for Friday's game versus Bryant, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Berry will miss out on the first two games of the regular season, at a minimum, because of the issue. It's unclear how large his role in the rotation will be even when healthy, but his next chance to showcase his skills will arrive Wednesday versus Boston College.

Jalen Carey - Spotted in walking boot Carey is in a walking boot pregame and won't suit up against Bryant, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Carey made a decent impact off the bench in the season opener, racking up six points and four boards over 15 minutes. Unfortunately, his services won't be available for at least one game and likely more with his foot in a boot.

El-Amin carries Rhode Island past Boston University 71-62
Ishmael Leggett had 18 points and Ishmael El-Amin posted 13 points as Rhode Island got past Boston University 71-62 in a season openerNOVEMBER 10, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tres Berry - Doesn't play Tuesday Berry (ankle) did not appear in Tuesday's 71-62 win over Boston.
Impact Berry didn't appear in the Rams' scrimmage last Thursday due to precautionary reasons after tweaking his ankle earlier in the week. It's unclear if the 6-4 freshman didn't play because of his injury or merely just due to a coach's decision. He'll look to make his collegiate debut Friday against Bryant.

Sebastian Thomas - Will not redshirt Thomas will not redshirt his freshman season and will have a role on the Rams' rotation, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Thomas impressed in the tune up scoring 13 points in 26 minutes while collecting six boards and two assists against JWU on Thursday. Coach David Cox confirmed Thomas will be a part of the team's rotation, but it's unclear how much playing time he'll receive against more quality opposition.

Tres Berry - Held out as precaution Berry (ankle) was held out of the Rams scrimmage Thursday against JWU as a precaution, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Berry tweaked his ankle and rather than risk further injury, Rhode Island coach David Cox held him out of Thursday's scrimmage. The team has been cautious with any player remotely injured, so it's probably likely the freshman will be available in some capacity for the season opener against Boston University on Tuesday.

Makhel Mitchell - Starts in secret scrimmage Mitchell (groin) had 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes in a secret scrimmage Sunday against St. John's, Jeff Goodman of WatchStadium.com r...
Impact Mitchell missed a mid-October team scrimmage due to what was described as a groin injury, but it didn't stop him from participating full-go just a few weeks later. Mitchell and Rhode Island have one more tune-up game on the schedule -- Nov. 4 against Johnson and Wales -- before opening up the season Nov. 9 against Boston University.

URI men eager for a fresh start after last season's rough finish Among the changes is Jeremy Sheppard's emerging role as a leader and point guard

Makhel Mitchell - Dealing with groin injury Mitchell did not take part in Saturday's team scrimmage due to a groin injury, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact The reason for Mitchell's absence wasn't initially disclosed, but it was apparently due to "precautionary" reasons as he tends to a groin injury. Coach David Cox believes he'll be a full participant in practice this week, which suggests he should be available for the start of the season. The sophomore center served as the primary big man for the Rams last year, starting 23 of 25 games and posting averages of 9.6 points and 5.6 rebounds. His next official chance to take the court will be a Nov. 4 exhibition matchup against Johnson & Wales, and the team officially opens up its season Nov. 9 against Boston University.

Allen Betrand - Potential redshirt candidate Betrand (knee) appears likely to redshirt for the 2021-22 season, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact While the report notes that Betrand is roughly a month ahead of schedule in recovering from March knee surgery, it seems as if preserving a year of eligibility is an option that's very much on the table. Betrand appeared in 18 games (nine starts) for URI last season after transferring from Towson, posting modest averages of 4.7 points and 1.5 rebounds. He was once thought to be a key rotation piece heading into 2021-22, but it seems those plans may be on hold.
OCTOBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Makhel Mitchell - Siting out practice Saturday Mitchell isn't participating in the live portion of practice for an undisclosed reason, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Mitchell was a key component of the starting five for the Rams last year, racking up 9.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per contest last season. Assuming it doesn't wind up being something serious, he should be part of the starting five again when the 2021-22 season opens.
