    Baseball Question

    All of that would absolutely help, but it doesn't change the underlying issues. Duke and Vandy are in the ACC and SEC. We are not. Not an equal comparison. Davidson is really the best peer institution for comparison purposes, and they're good every so often. That's our lot I believe.

    Baseball Question

    I think the combination of switching to the A10 and not funding the program with the maximum number of scholarships together make it very difficult to win consistently. The NCAA allows 11.7 scholarships for baseball and we offer less than that (I'm pretty sure of this). The minimum scholarship...

    Media Discussion of Spider Hoops

    You’ve done your part to embarrass the school. Good riddance.

    Hopefully we can all celebrate this news!

    Pending ABC approval, we will start selling beer at the Robins Center during men's basketball games this season. Never thought I'd see that happen!

    How do we improve the forum?

    That makes sense except every single subject gets hijacked. The answer is pretty simple - put 23 and 97 on ignore and read the other stuff. You get what you want and the number of posts you need to go through to find anything useful gets reduced by about 75%. Win/win.

    How do we improve the forum?

    just put 23 and 97 on ignore. You get rid of 95% of the constant negative yammering and also about 75% of all posts total. It is efficient and doesn't make you want to claw your eyes out. And you might learn something useful from other posters who don't have an agenda.

    New renovations at the RC

    Bernie's is still there, the crowds and pennants are still there, and General Spidey is still there. Not much has changed!

    Unhinged UR Professor

    This guy is looking to indoctrinate, not teach. He has an agenda and he is going to be vocal and aggressive towards anyone he thinks runs afoul of it. I'm sure he chose to be an "academic" because it represents a safe place to complain and be offended every day without repercussions. As I...

    Unhinged UR Professor

    It's not often you get a chance to read an example of everything that is wrong with higher education in one essay but this guy made it happen! How about this.....I don't care what you think about anything except whatever SUBJECT you are supposed to be teaching my child. Parent's are not...

    Marcus Jenkins

    He plays hoops. You can tell he's a good player but he has these great big hands and feet that he hasn't quite grown into yet. You can tell that when it all comes together there is going to be a leap forward production wise. He's worth keeping an eye on for sure.

    Marcus Jenkins

    Hahaha - that was an aggressive post! Good call, I'm on the wrong side of things there. Totally agree on Curtis. He would be under strong consideration at the 2 guard. He was a great player. He has a son that goes to Steward here in Richmond, will be in 10th grade. I see him around from...

    Marcus Jenkins

    97 - I see you and 23 are back to hijacking posts. Why haven't you guys ruined the all time starting 5 yet? Can't figure out a way to blame it on Mooney or haven't heard of any of these guys being mentioned that played before Y2K?

    My all-time Richmond wish list

    I haven't posted on here in a long time because you guys basically make we want to claw my eyes out but I like this conversation. I've seen a little over 40 years of Spider basketball.....Johnny Newman is the best player we've ever had hands down. John Schweitz is the most pure shooter we've...

    Buckingham dismissed from UR Basketball

    No reason to even consider this. If playing in the RC meant so much to Buck he would have made better decisions. Wish him well and move on with the players that are committed to Richmond.

    Robbie Beran - 2019 Offer

    I watched him play several times last season. He's long with a very good feel for the game. He can handle the ball and has a terrific looking jumper. Del Harris, Collegiate's coach, used to be on the Richmond staff and has had several other stints in the college ranks. He is a very good...

    Transfer Thread

    I would say it is time for an adult to get involved with Buck and explain the situation he is in now and for the rest of his life. Maybe Beckwith, Newman, Kenny Atkinson, someone who has been through some life experiences that could show him the value of Richmond - not the basketball team - for...

    Spring Ball 2018

    Does anyone know of any staff changes or additions that may occur after the spring game? I heard we may have a coach returning.

    OT...prayers

    That is really great news and it makes me happy to read that. I’ve been trying to avoid the message board because it completely sucks but some things are different and actually important. I’m glad we as a group can still see that. I hope things continue to go well with her!

    Transfer Thread

    At this point in time this board is officially a net negative to our basketball program. I sincerely hope any kid interested in playing basketball at Richmond does not come on here to check things out. The incessant negativity has driven many of the neutral posters away so it has become a...

    Curious

    Dude, can you ever just engage in a conversation without working the agenda? I shared a conversation with a guy that seemed, naive and mistaken by a commoner like me, to be relevant to how this thread started. The sentiment shared by those 2 coaches matches a number of other discussions I've...
