Guarantee? Hope not. I already stated we were in big trouble if we lose one of the main 3. All my optimism will be gone if that happens.

I like your reasoning. Hell, if we lose two more we could go undefeated next year,
Looks like Sal will be starting this year. Send that young man some McDonalds gift cards!!
G- Jacob and Nick. Best backcourt in the A-10.
F- Sal, Nate. and Grant ( maybe the best big man in the A-10.
Not a bad starting five at all. Much better size than last year. Will need some 3s from Nate or Sal and need JJ and a couple of the redshirts to give us good bench minutes.
Just does seem fishy the way we saw where Buck was thinking of transferring and now he gets kicked to the curb. I mean in the business world a loyal employee might be given a ..... either you resign or get fired. IMO appears would have been an easy out for UR to just give Buck his release.
If you're going to make it look dirty, let's see all the laundry involved. Yes I know, UR will tell us they don't want to hurt the kid's image. It's already tainted worse now, so they could have done the kid right.
I don't care if CM knew absolutely nothing about Buck. He's the guy in responsible for the program and he must go for sure by the end of next year, if not earlier depending on if the Spiders duplicate last year's horrific start.

On an unrelated note... this all sucks...
To be fair, Universities are under legal restrictions when it comes to divulging certain information. If Buck wants to tell us he can, but the university will most likely not be able to.

Yes, figured that could be the case but I ask you N19, could they have just released Buck?
Also N19, do you think CM should still be coach after next season?
Buckingham got into some trouble last summer. He was in classes forced by the athletic department. Then apparently failed a drug test, causing the 1 game suspension (Mason). Failed his second one sometime throughout the second half of season forcing the athletic departments hand. It really is shameful and an unfortunate situation.
There’s no positive way to spin this previous season and current offseason - time to question the sanity of those who may try
Drinking helps.
Personally, I’m not convinced of the whole asking for his release leading to a dismissal. I’m more inclined to believe there was rumblings of a dismissal/knew he was going to fail a test and he asked for a release, or there was never really a ask for release and the rumblings we heard we’re in actuality related to a dismissal. I also doubt we will ever know the true events unfortunately.
But if the facts are him asking for his release and then he did something to warrant a dismissal, yes, I agree I would much rather the school to have released him.
As for CM being coach after next season, as I’ve stated before, I’m not comfortable demanding someone be fired. However, I am not happy whatsoever with the current state of the program and the projected direction we are currently on. Yet, I still hope positive news is coming this off season and we bounce back next year (though admittedly I’m not holding my breath).
Still not understanding your point. Wouldn't one calendar year end next April 18, while next academic year would actually end next May?

Ms. Mooney, I know you're trying to keep the gravy train flowing, but I think you should keep looking for new opportunities.

Why can't we let Buckingham go into rehab, sit out for a year and then come back? Addiction is a debilitating disease. Forgiveness and mentorship for Buckingham would help him through this very difficult time.
You need to calm down with these accusations.
He’s 34% career at UR from 3. Not terrible. Not great. I’d take it over an unknown.
You must be smoking something.

What evidence do you have that he's addicted? A 20-year-old kid caught smoking weed on two occasions is hardly diagnostic. Do you think everyone who drinks beer or liquor is an alcoholic?

Not if you do edibles or use a vape. Studies actually show that prayer causes more cancer than weed. I swear.
Vapes are terrible for you because they contain propeline glycol.
Right now all I care about is that Richmond is bad for you because it contains Mooney
That's a very true statement. Welcome to the club. I've been a part of it since 2014.Right now all I care about is that Richmond is bad for you because it contains Mooney
Don't you worry PA, the ship is still taking on water. The only way to get it back on surface is throw the captain overboard.
Oh I'm not actually a part of the club. Just pandering really. And I can never pass up making a joke
UVA has Tony Bennett as Coach. Big difference
Whatever the reason for Buck's leaving wish him all the best. Will miss his determination and heart. Will miss his very fine family particularly his grandmother.
