Are you shocked? With the money flying around it is only beginning.some damn sleazy doings in D1 ball
Difference is he was a top 40 recruit, whereas AP u couldn't even find any tape on from Greece. Bet this guy is an impact player fir VCU.
Interesting. He is super efficient offensively, but not a great defensive rebounder for his size (offensive rebounding is good, but not as relevant for a Mooney team unfortunately). Not a passer either. Would be a backup to Walz and Beagle I assume, but the 2nd year of eligibility makes this interesting.Perhaps a little premature for his own thread so keeping this here for now, but big man fans should be happy to see us Zooming with Riley Allenspach. Getting some pretty big-time interest from others. Looks like he was supposed to visit Northwestern as well but they appear to have cooled and the visit was canceled.
We had expressed interest in him coming out of high school but never offered. He committed to Western Kentucky but backed out when Rick Stansbury got booted, and he ended up at Samford for the past two years.
Hasn't put up huge overall stats there, but very solid for his minutes played (13 mpg).

Thinking more like 1 year at VCU but will transfer up.Top 40 recruit who couldn't get on the court for a so-so UConn team. Meh. He'll transfer to ETSU next year.
Maybe can be the tall guard we are looking for.A 6’11” 55% three point shooter could be interesting…
GW3 was Gatorade player of the year in Ohio, I believe. Sometimes kids don't live up to the hype. UConn was not some juggernaught this year and had injuries at the guard position and yet this dude couldn't get anything but garbage minutes. Who knows, based on our experiences though, I'm not buying my NCAA tickets next year if a VCU fan.Difference is he was a top 40 recruit, whereas AP u couldn't even find any tape on from Greece.

no sign of us ... but a Luke Hunger update:I'd at least look into the available bigs including a couple of old targets I wanted and would like a 2nd look at ... Matt Reed and Luke Hunger.
I was going to comment that Gkiller would be all in on VCU. I hate to already jinx some of your bets next season, but will have to tail your fade of the SpiderNation boards back the Rams bets. So someone will have to win.I’m buying them. Going opposite of what this board thinks re: vcu could have funded our NIL and rev share.
I believe he and TJ briefly overlapped playing for Hapoel Eilat. The dude is going to be a 24-year-old sophomore next season.
Well done! We're in a long list of programs that have indeed been in touch with Chaikin. No idea how recently though.Also worth noting that he Also follows Lafayette transfer Alex Chaikin on both X and Instagram, this could mean nothing at all but to me looks like they are two top targets, we’ll see what we get from the portal.

yeah, but still amazing for a kid with one D1 offer out of HS and a bunch of D2s to have that list a year later.There are some ballers to be found in the Patriot League!
