Gipe gets around

Nice JOC piece interviewing Gipe about the emphasis on international recruiting and how it's only going to grow with international guys able to make decent money with NIL here now. (I know there have been some limitations on international guys and NIL due to visa issues, but there are always workarounds.)

Gipe was in Istanbul earlier this month for the FIBA U17 World Cup to do some recruiting. I know one of our 2025 targets, Tyler Kropp, was playing well there. Not sure who else we're looking at.

Introducing the 2024-2025 Transfer Portal Tracker!

For the last two offseasons, I've been tracking our transfer portal recruitment activity by posting screenshots of a spreadsheet to the transfer portal thread. To allow this to become more of a living document and give you all access when ever you'd like, I've made it into a Google Sheet so everyone has easy access to view at their leisure. Below is the link that you can bookmark or save for easy access:

Richmond Basketball 2024-2025 Transfer Portal Tracker

These are all players who we've contacted according to various accounts on Twitter/X or other sources. To keep info organized, I'll continue to post information I find about contacts/visits etc. in the 2024 Transfer Portal Season thread as we already have quite a bit of info posted there.

If you have any suggestions on stats/data you'd like to see added, formatting, or anything else that would be helpful, please post below and I'd be happy to incorporate. I'll try to keep this updated as much as possible, but definitely let me know if I'm missing something you find. Hope everyone enjoys this!

NCAA tournament expansion talk

NCAA is looking at 72-team and 76-team options right now, possibly for as soon as 2025–26. Looks like adding at least one more First Four site to get things down to the 64-team bracket.

Positive trend

We join this community to discuss our Spiders. Personally I see a positive trend for our MBB team over the past 5 years, much as VT, 80s and others have regularly posted. I enjoy the positive thoughts of VT, 80s and others as they have been posting about our Spiders. I would encourage all who desire to post a negative thought to examine their thoughts in light of our progress over the last 5 seasons. Perhaps if we all temper any negative thoughts by evaluating our recent progress we will all feel better about our team.

Stepped away from the team in early February this year for personal reasons, with Killings saying he "wasn't feeling right about playing."
