    Matt Becht - Southern NH Transfer - Visit ~4/13

    Continue to think the a jump from d-2 to an A-10 team is a pretty big leap. I think Becht may have felt that too. He can go to Merrimack and probably get big minutes, whereas here, he is more likely in a Roche like situation. Not surprising he went with the better fit.

    Yep, rooted for Burton at Nova will root for Dji at LSU. 4 year guys who got there degree from UR, they gave us all we can ask for a college player to give.

    2024 Transfer Portal Season

    Well shoot, if you had read the press clipping on this guy, it was like VCU had already made it to the Sweet 16 next year and the poof, he's gone. That sure is sad. I'm sure whomever they sign next will be the next great piece too though, so don't despair.

    2024 Transfer Portal Season

    Youngstown State was not on my bingo card for Jaynel. Kind of random but good luck to him there.

    Thank You Spider Nation

    Dji was one of my favorite players and part of that was because his dad was such a valued contributor to this forum. Wishing him the best of luck at LSU. I will certainly be following his progress and LSU more closely next year and hope he does big things for them in the SEC.

    I'm sure a school like LSU has a healthy NIL and as much as Dad said it wasn't about the money, a bigger payout is always a consideration, no matter the circumstance.

    Dusan Neskovic - Dartmouth Transfer - Commit

    It was always wing players from the initial post. We have had guards come in and start right away (I gave Gilly as an example). Kevin Anderson, Kendall Anthony are others. I will give you Buck/ Sherod as example. I'm not sure I would classify them as wings, but Buck did play all over the...

    Dusan Neskovic - Dartmouth Transfer - Commit

    If we have to pull guys from the 1980's as example of notable freshman wing players, I think we have enough data to say that we shouldn't count on freshman to make a notable impact this coming year.

    Dusan Neskovic - Dartmouth Transfer - Commit

    No offense, but I am not counting on freshman to step into a starter's role. When was the last time a freshman came in, started, and performed at a high enough level to justify them starting. It was probably Gilly, who is the NBA right now. I don't know when the last freshman wing player...

    2024–25 schedule

    True, I don't want to play William and Mary either. Slightly different reason. William and Mary sucks as well but they see this as a rivalry game due to football and past CAA history with them. So, they get up for it, making it a bigger trap game for us. Until William and Mary takes their...

    2024–25 schedule

    VMI's NET was 358 last year. There were only 362 teams in the NET ranking. They were 1-28 against D-1 opposition. As an A-10 team fighting for one of the few at large, I don't think we can really afford to play school this bad. Yeah, I know we will play a few Quad 4's but can we try not to...

    Dji entering the portal

    That is a very good question. I don't know. Just when I think of LSU and recent history, I think of Will Wade and the current women's coach, neither of which I associate with class, integrity, or doing things the right way. Brian Kelly is a weirdo too and just kind of reeks of used car...

    Dusan Neskovic - Dartmouth Transfer - Commit

    Great pick-up. Really like our front court now with Neskovic, Beagle, and Walz. Way to reload with great talent up front. Probably our biggest need now is a 3. Another shooting guard would be great as well.

    2024–25 schedule

    I can see starting off with an in-state cupcake like VMI but why are we buying a quad 4 game in the heart of the OOC season this early.

    What in my statement was not true? I didn't say they suck at basketball but that it is not a basketball school. LSU is a football school, heck I think the women's team is probably more popular.

    Moondog had a lot of misses early on last year as well. Not worried yet, but....

    LSU would not be my pick of schools for Dji, just saying. Not a basketball school, shady recent past, lots of premier top level conference schools above you.

    2024 Transfer Portal Season

    VCU losing out on Brickus and then having Lawal committing to Tech on the same day is quite the 24 hours. Hey, at least they got a reserve forward in his 7th year though.

    Noyes hits the portal

    For the record, I was not a huge fan of that class. With the exception of Nelson, it was a class where everyone else we were pretty much the best offer they had. That is always a red flag to me.

    Matt Becht - Southern NH Transfer - Visit ~4/13

    I would argue we haven't found a role for Roche yet. If Roche isn't bombing 3's he is a liability and there were very few games last year where he was. Not sure adding another guy with a similar skill set when we haven't figured out how to use Roche's yet (or possibly Roche's just doesn't...
