Huesman is a loser.

Running up the middle with 3rd and goal from the 7 does not show they have a lot of confidence in the qb

I like Wickersham but come on. What's his average yard per reception (not including YACs)? Swing pass to the left, swing pass to the right. Dinks and passes under 5 yards. I guess he did have a good percentage... like a 7ft center who only dunks.

You don't win many close games with a highly predictable offense. Coleman has a much more diverse game, and IMHO he gives us better opportunities to win. I only hope that Huesman doesn't wait until the last 4 games to play Coleman because playing him early forces our opponents to have to prepare for BOTH quarterbacks.

Agree. KW is basically another running back playing qb

Zero offense in the first quarter.
Wickersham uninspiring...

No tv I can find. Listening to it. Maybe not the worst thing to not be watching our offense.

Could it be that Wickersham is starting because he had the highest passing completion rate in FCS Football last year?

So, you don’t want to go to a better school because you hope the coach is better?
WOW, that makes perfect sense to me. Star players on our awful coached team still
seem to get opportunities to the pros. How can that be?

Word salad much? OK, Money is 1-1 against Odom, 7-24 against his predecessors.

You win.

What is Mooney's record against those coaches during his tenure at UR?

yeah, they have all been better than Mooney hence why they came, kicked his ass, and moved on to greener pastures and paydays.

and assuming a kid takes visits, I'd bet that night spent with the guys is a big factor.

Iran has sent short-range ballistic missiles to Russia, a move that will give Moscow another potent military tool to use in the war against Ukraine and follows stern Western warnings not to provide those arms to Moscow, according to U.S. and European officials.

Another 2025 on board - that makes 16(!) commitments from that class, according to Perfect Game (15 listed + Brenner Green above). 9 pitchers, 7 position players.

Well, I think it comes down to fit. Fit with the school, fit with the coaches, fit with the other players. Barksdale is from Newport News so perhaps he wants to play closer to home. So, yeah on paper, of course Miami looks like a superior option but obviously not for Barksdale specific wants and desire.

don't know how UR and VCU compare in NIL $.
location could have been a factor in VCU vs Butler or Miami for a Newport News kid.
when it comes to VCU vs UR ... yes, VCU's been better. but we've been a vey good team the last 5 years. the 2 schools are just very different. some people will prefer one, some the other. it almost feels weird to me when we're in direct competition for a kid.

Well, the women's version of the Gulf Coast Showcase has a full field in place, with a few solid names.

And I have no idea if this applies to Barksdale or any other of their current players, but it's also true that it's easier to get into VCU than Richmond academically

Kneepad, 80's has confirmed loosening of academic standards. I do believe this to be proven out, not that I am aware of any individual player's academic situation - however I have not heard of this issue cropping up recently - which we did hear a few times with specific players earlier in Moon's regime. It does seem in this NIL/Portal era that academics are very rarely ever cited in any school or league - its basically $$$$ now.

As SF will tell you, I was probably irrationally exuberant on Soulis last season. I still think he can be a wild card this season. He lost a year last season - but I do still see him as a high ceiling guy. To Sman's point - if we were to go with two bigs - I believe Soulis is best suited as a more athletic 4 - that could get out to shooters on the perimeter and potentially be a match up problem on the offensive end. Problem for him is that it would seem Dusan is more proven, and maybe even Glou slides into the stretch 4 for some minutes, though I hope he has enough ball skills to be more of a wing.

Embarrassing to keep this thread alive, about a player we had no chance with and who went to our rival.
