Opening Night Lineup - Just for fun

RichmondNative
I see the redshirts as a win for both sides. If the players are good with taking a year to develop their game at the college level then it is up to the coach to develop and keep them for future contributions. The player also gets to focus on the first year of college itself which has its own challenges especially depending on one’s high school education experience. Plus, as Section 9 pointed out, you get an extra year of NIL payments so to me you are gaining more than you are losing.

Playing a few garbage time minutes can’t be something that increases a player’s amount of buy-in or future success. It is the practice time you put in and whether you mesh with the coaching philosophy that is going to make you successful. A mid-major like UR is rarely going to land an impact freshman.

2024 Presidential Election

And suddenly it's OK to acknowledge Project 2025 was their agenda all along, even though Grover Trump and all his toadies said they know nothing about it.

Sometimes the best cure for Republicanism is four years of Republican rule, during which they **** up everything imaginable and get absolutely nothing done, ie Grover Trump's first administration. Also, how coincidental that Grover Cleveland was also a rapist, racist and misogynist.

Seems Dji's post grad year coach may be just a bit stronger than TB's

Congrats to Dji. No doubt McMahon is a better coach than Neptune.

Also, one can see that a 5th year player on a new team is much different than the usual first year player. Could see that last night with Dusan for the Spiders too.

I possibly have some history of overvaluing incoming players :D, but I still think both of these freshmen will be really good.
I think we're loaded at forward next year with them plus AP and Tanner. plus whichever of our 6'10" guys plays some at big forward.

the key will be if we properly replace the guard production of Hunt and White. Tyne and GW3 are a good start, but the 3 incoming freshmen next year are huge. if they're good early, our roster is built to be strong for a few years.

And, always a good chance at getting a real good guard in the portal. We have a lot of evidence of transfer guards doing great for us and should continue to be an attractive transfer spot.

For sure & I spit out my Coke reading that one. he obviously has some material from his BFF vt4700.

Sdad is a big brand blueblood guy. LSU isn't in basketball really, but their football & the SEC carry it a bit. But I cut him some slack bc it's been a tough fall. he needs LSU. Nothing to peacock about w the Cowboys and Yankees. We'll have to see on the Tarheels and his choice of the Lakers or Warriors whoever does better.

1-1-1 for me with possibly the worst pick anyone will make this season (Vermont.) UConn pushed after they didn't effectively dribble out the clock at the end, keeping me from being 2-1.

For the last 5 or so years, my friend and I have picked games against the spread, alternating picks for X dollars per game. Our twist is to base weight the value of the game based on point differential from the spread: 1X for 1-9 points from the spread, 2X for 10-19 points, 3X for 21-29 points, and 4X for 31+ points differential. The VT game would have been rough for you ...

redshirting also allows Robinson/McGlothin 2 years between them and Tanner, with no one in the class above them at their position.

McGlothin yes but not sure I really see Robinson and Tanner competing for minutes or position. I hate to use 3 vs. 4 in positionless basketball! Granted none of us has seen them play in live comp so hard to say.

2024 Richmond Spiders Football - Prologue - Campbell

Login to view embedded media
everything seems to be coming together for the Spiders in Championship November...just like the doctor ordered the UR offense and defense seem to be playing their best football at the most important time...

some say when you get this close to the goal every win gets tougher...I believe it...Campbell knows what's coming to Buies Creek Saturday...a team that badly needs a win to stay on CAA Championship course, a team that has won seven in a row to climb into the FCS National Top 10...the game should be the Humps Super Bowl!

but like some of their immediate predecessors and others in the CAA era this team has now entered the "mission zone" they are on a mission to achieve their Championship and Playoff goals...they are full of focus, confidence and momentum...I don't think a stumble versus the Camels is in the cards...

enjoy the Prologue and the Brick House football zen compliments of the new game sound track that debuted last week on the PA system!

Go Spiders!

I love all of our players, and think very highly of them, but I think very very very few would have the same success at a power school. Tyler and Khwan are two recent examples of that, and I loved Tyler here as much as any player. They both started at the next level and saw their numbers drop dramatically. And, Dji probably won't start, and time will tell on his minutes. If Dji could shoot the 3, with his athleticism and other skills, I think he could play a lot at a power school. Without the 3, at his size and not being a PG, I don't see him making much of an impact. As I have said, time will tell.
