I sure did go to the OTB a few times when it first opened. One of my friends had to file for bankruptcy from going to that place. He made lots of drunk bets.

just make them all pinky promise not to tell each other who got all the NIL
There is a Lidl there now in the same place. Not sure if they used the same building or ripped it down.
So that’s why the cashier looks at me funny when I try to place a parlay…
Hard to say. Don’t really know which other teams were interested/offered him. Not the best stats to start the season with DePaul, which concerns me a bit. More promising though towards the end of the season though. Also don’t like the amount of turnovers. We haven’t had the best track record of players doing well here who transferred down from P5. So I can’t really say a rating definitively. Looks like Tyne will be PG and he will play the 2. Neither Thomas nor Tyne strike me as main guy kind of player we need in that position like Gilly or King were. I want to be optimistic, but I’ll have reserved optimism for now until I see how he does in a game.
Reminds me of hell week, particularly when getting whacked by a paddle. “ This brings brotherhood and moral fiber”.
VCU basketball transfer updates: ISU's Daughtry enters portal, hopes for homecoming
VCU hoops transfer updates: Locals Daughtry, Parker Jr., Cosby Jr. in portal. Odom's staff, including Theus, follow him to UVa. Jennings, Bamgboye visit Charlottesville. Reid visits VCU.
"I was definitely looking to go closer to home. I wouldn't mind going to VCU," he said. "I actually did have hope for getting the VCU call."
Doesn’t look good for us.
Not a ton of reasons to consider UR over VCU if your desire is to challenge for the conference and go to the ncaa tournament.
But we have good trees.

No Quite the indictment that they have a guy who has been a head coach for hardly any time - but the VCU brand is a draw compared to Mooneyball.VCU basketball transfer updates: ISU's Daughtry enters portal, hopes for homecoming

How do you like that, the Dean of A10 Coaches already getting punked by the new kid on the block 10 months before they even play a game
Historical odds favor VCU punking CM twice next year unless next year falls into the 25 pct of time he wins vs VCU. Really doesn’t matter who coach and players are at VCU. 20 years says something.

Right, but part of that is the Mooney brand of lack thereof. That is kind of the point - through multiple coaching changes they have continued to maintain a top program - whereas we seem to say: Who are we going to get to replicate our .550 coach if we get rid of him?
Of course this guy would want to go to VCU.
Any local RVA kid is gonna have enough knowledge to know that VCU wants to win and UR has Mooney. So, yeah, not surprising these guys wanna come back to Richmond aren't looking at us.
If someone we like wants to come here, we should make a spot for him. Sorry to whoever gets the boot, but that’s life in the NIL era.
I guess we will find out soon if anymore visits. Guard pickups look interesting but if no forwards next year going to look at lot like this year.
can't imagine a 3rd guard transfer. I'm betting the offer isn't there anymore after landing 2 guards.
I still want to add a lights out shooting guard to start with Johnston. If we have 2 more spots like fan1 mentioned we might, we can then use the final one for some size/defense.
I want those last 2 spots (if we have them) to be some athletic 3 and D forwards. I think the backcourt room isn't the best, but it is solid. We've got to pick up some A10-level wings now.
I hear u, but I think we need one more lights out shooter. Good guards who can shoot make everyone else better. Guards who can't shoot leads to teams packing it in on D and making it hard on everyone out there. It's a guards game.
I agree with that, but I think Johnston can light it up. I have hope that Thomas can improve his jumper and I think we need some tough glue guys. Jumpers aren't always going to fall, but defense and dudes that can get to the rim consistently and hustle travels. Right now, there are a lot of question marks with the redshirts and freshmen coming in. I have seen Argabright Richardson play multiple times in person, and I like what I have seen, but we have to see how much the freshmen will contribute.
