Early Signing Day,December 4, 2024-December 6, 2024
- Thread starter 32counter
- Start date
I believe FCS programs will see more 1 to 3 year players. We need to plan on back filling with HS stars and transfers.
Wonder if they are looking at Stony Brook? Only drawback would be Cosh leaving next year to lead a bigger program.
Our schedule in the CAA in the last two years has been exposed in the playoffs. The year with Cosh and his VMI guys was a special anomaly.
We have had to put up with the dumbass run QB offense since RH has been here. So no, it was not a good decision to extend RH’s K.

A Patriot League rule will prevent us from enrolling any future graduate transfers of which the Ivy League will have a plethora in the transfer portal this cycle.
Yes, this is also in the bylaws. We need URFan1 to get with his source and check on this like the redshirt rule. I doubt the grad transfers got negotiated but we'll see. Also, the Pat League's pretty strict Academic Index could cause us some issues. Our AD did not attend the UR press conference announcing our move. Due to general lack of media attention around UR athletics not much comes out of those things, but it's basically the 1 chance to get any formal answers.
Always appreciate your insights on this board. Sounds like there is a culture/personality issue going on if these transfers are not simply NIL related. I'm not the biggest Huesman fan but it's wild that a program can have such a successful run the last few seasons amidst what now seems like some kind of internal issue(s).
Few thoughts in no particular order:
-I don't pretend to have any inside information about the transfers and their motivation..
-A huge incentive to going deep in the FCS playoffs is because the players continue playing longer and can't/don't enter the portal until they are done playing. I remember a few years ago, W&M made the Quarterfinals and then lost very few players. I think it is because they were 'stuck playing'. It sucks we aren't talking about the Idaho game this weekend for many reasons, this one included.
-Kids these days are obsessed with being recruited.
-Wasn't DeGennaro one of our Captains? His tweet is rather unfortunate.
-This just feels like the way it is with FCS football anymore. If you choose to support an FCS football program, you have to expect it.
-Be surprised when top players stay ... not when they leave. This is the new world. Kyle Lauletta would never stay here 5 years in today's landscape.
-I don't know how the coaches do it anymore. Re-recruiting their entire roster every single year. Must be totally exhausting for the pay.
-I support Richmond football but I'm not giving a nickel to any NIL funds. Sets the precedent that top players will leave for a nickel and a penny. No point. Sorry guys. Go chase those pennies. Hope it works out in the run.

Always appreciate your insight and knowledge. I must admit a bit of surprise, this just seems strange to pop up all of a sudden with guys coming back for fifth and sixth years to play for the program and each other, which i heard some say in interviews they did.
I do admit I did expect some loses due to the PL move since guys would want to play at a higher level of competition and have more shots at going to the post season than a one bid conference will provide.
Only two dropped from recruits list so far, so guess we see how tomorrow goes.

Something to the effect of "they tried to politic him all season and he was able to overcome it and had an amazing year, hope he finds someplace where he'll really be valued."
First off , cannot deny that the football has had 3 solid seasons in a row despite losing
each year some key players like Turner,Mustapha, Funderburk, Josiah Williams, etc…Life
goes on in this piss on the FCS climate. I did not like hearing Huesman refer to himself in
the W&M press conference as “ not a players coach”. Maybe his personality drives good players
away. The other concern is a winning team but where is the fan base. Our attendance gets worst and
worst each year. How can UR re-energize our fan base?

The fact we will lose a number of players to FBS programs is a testament to our recruiting, player evaluation and development. If these players were not any good, they wouldn't be moving up.
Stars departing is a fact of life throughout FCS and the FBS G6 conferences. It is not exclusive to Richmond.

In other words... they tried to "manage" him all season... This must have referenced Coleman. The inference would be that Coleman did not like what he had to do, so he left.
In other words, Huesman wanted to make Coleman into a running QB in a run first offense.
Is this the correct interpretation?
and another
Add Trae Tomlinson.
I am not on X but the post just showed up in a thread on AGS. Maybe one of you that is on X can can go to his page and post it.
When I try to copy it, it comes as a post and not opened.

If that’s the case, then not a good position for us to be in. I guess Hardt and Russ were good with that.
No doubt Dave knows how to coach quarterbacks. Surely an offensive minded coach.
Can't comment with detail as the information came by way of a player's parent and although I wasn't asked to keep quiet I'm choosing to. What comes to mind is something my Dad used to say, "one rotten apple can spoil the barrel. " There's been evidence of that if you look closely.
I thought your answer was being sarcastic. Sometimes I can't tell. Thanks for clarifying.
Next time I return for Homecoming I'll just skip the football game and continue to hang out with my friends. I have no desire to go cheer for a bunch of players who are going to leave the minute the season is over.
Football Unveils 2025 Signing Class Presented by Owen & Owens - University of Richmond Athletics
Richmond, Va. – University of Richmond head football coach Russ Huesman announced the Spiders' 2025 signing class on Wednesday, marking the beginning of the ...
The article says we signed five on offense and 11 on defense, then lists only nine guys as signees. Seems about par for the course with our PR department. How many of the 16 will graduate with UR degrees? I'm going with four.

Rutgers Football added a new name to its 2025 recruiting class today on National Signing Day as Hun School linebacker John Insinga has announced that he will sign with the Scarlet Knights
Little bit of an under the radar type of prospect, Insinga hails from Greenwich, Connecticut and was committed to the University of Richmond before flipping to Rutgers on Wednesday morning.
