Ford Gone

Really nice young man from a great family. Wish him the very best.
Man, I really hate this one. He was such a pleasure to speak with and felt he had a big upside. All the best to him.
Well, I said we were going to need Verbinskis or Ford to be contributors.
Fan1, I am trying my hardest to keep a good attitude, but have less than 0% confidence they bring in a contributor at this point.
This is really unbelievable, the recruiting acumen of this staff has got to be one of the worst in the USA.

I understood the same, fan1. Funny that the same people who complained about Phoenix when he was here are the same ones complaining that he is gone. SMH
Incredible that the same ones that were touting his prowess in the gym and in D Hall just shake it off like SOP.
I didn't complain about him. Shake your head all you want Ulla. I just posted his highlights and said he looked much better than Grace, and with the redshirt year and instruction and work with our coaches, and everyone saying how big and chippy he was, looked like a guy who could contribute this year. And Mooney just said no more attrition and lose two more. To a community college, really? Oh well, another day in the ever slippery slope of the Mooney administration. What is next, Gilyard to SE Missouri State?
The sought after transfer plays this winter or sits and plays for the next coach in 19-20? Prefer the latter.
Yes Fan1, it definitely would help if we land a sought after transfer. Especially if he is a grad transfer or otherwise immediately eligible. I want to see the list of those seeking him before I agree to him being sought after.
I have started following San Diego State some. I noticed after losing some key contributors this year and had a key decommit recently. I didn't really check for a week and a half, and boom they have signed three key contributors. Yes, it is a nice place to recruit to, but it is in a comparable conference. Each one of these talents they recruited had a story and the staff was persistent in staying in touch beating out programs like Creighton and Gonzaga for their services. We beat out the Siena's. SMDH. Shake shake shaka shake.

Yes, if we were talking about the odds of who would announce next, would not have guessed Ford, and especially to community college. Interesting the timing. Seems usually there is collaboration and Richmond announces transfer first?
Well this stinks. Maybe by “huge” they meant it would be a “huge disappointment” for us Spider fans with a bunch of our players leaving
Didn't they all?
Makes me wonder how much of a disconnect there is between the players and the coach. Unless we land a one-and-done freshman or a grad student who is a significant contributor we will be hard-pressed to improve on last year's record.
05 - not following this? Looks like a CC, which is different than a JUCO. Or is this really a juco league they play in? I don't understand the inability to find a suitor comment either??
Just a straight up transfer going JUCO to not have to sit 2 straight years?
Too bad, we need some size and he had it. And a cool name too.
I heard Lindenwood hosted MGCCC in a buy game last year and that's all I needed to know.
Hmmm, OK. I just know guys that went and played at Virginia Western CC, or the CC's near me in CT are really just anyone who show's up, like a club team. JUCO is like Hagerstown, or the league in TX that is full of D1 talent (if not academic students). But maybe it is just a name.
Yes, if he was getting the Mooney cold shoulder already, probably wanted to get on the court as opposed to redshirting, then playing 20 minutes next year, then transferring to D1 - so effectively playing 20 minutes in over 1100 days.
And some were wondering about the "double redshirt" Mooney got the triple redshirt no handshake, screw you like Paul game plan going on. So to recap: Solly, PF, Fore, Buck, Ford all left with time remaining.
It seems like we are losing players left and right. 17 players on our roster last year. We have 10 players returning from that roster. I don't remember a preseason where so much turnover happens.
Our Basketball Program is a disaster. Another bust recruit. Such a shame.
We had 5 scholarship players leave this program - with eligibility remaining - who were on the roster at the beginning of this past season: Solly, Friendshuh, Buck, Fore, and Ford.
Man, with all the players leaving, they could field a new team. Wouldn't that be something? Imagine if they all joined the same team and we played against them. I bet Mooney supporters would say Mooney wins either way!

Can someone have Trust the Process t-shirts made for Mooney’s creative approach to roster management?
All this negative talk about losing a guy who has never played and who many of you were criticizing Mooney for even recruiting him? He wasn't going to be in our top 7 rotation and maybe not in our rotation at all, right? Is this really that big a deal?
Cooking apron would be more appropriate than tee.
I don’t think this is that big a deal, no. I do think the continuing concern is that we don’t seem to be able to recruit/retain quality forwards at a time when we really need more depth in the frontcourt.
Now that is funny, I hope Mooney didn't bet Rhoades any players over the cook off.
It proves our head coach can’t recruit.....again.....like we needed further proof.
But, how as a coach can you always know? I would think if the guys that left would have known they were leaving when Mooney said this than they would have announced it then. It only hurts them to wait because other teams might have already filled some spots. So, if they did not know, how could Mooney possibly know?
