Not really an issue if he has the academic stats to support it. Pretty high bar at UR though. And if you get one, your first obligation is obviously to your grades, not basketball.
That's the key, Sman. Looks like a 4 year guy who should get better and better. We aren't playing 11-13 guys this year, so no big deal at all if he doesn't get time this year.decommitted with the coaching change (not unusual) and clearly blew up with a 23/4/4 NEPSAC A championship game (6 3's) and a 42 point semi game (11 3's). grew late.
NEPSAC is great ball. AAA are the monster teams, but going 29-2 in A and being named Class A POY is nothing to sneeze at.
Graham added a bunch of PL level offers recently. clearly a big time shooter and has a handle. dunks easily ... which doesn't prove lateral athleticism ... but supposedly a good defender. I like the signing even if I didn't see another guard as a position of need. we need shooting. and this is a 4 year guy. welcome to Richmond, Jack!
tons of talent in NEPSAC.

You called him Kovien, which in your cute little way, takes a cheap shot at not one, but now two, Spiders. I'm sure with all your great basketball talent, you were much better than both of them, right? Find some class at some point.
I guess this could be seen as a positive sign in terms of filling the other scholarship openings. Maybe Jack gets an upgrade if there is an open spot. I still feel like going the development route plays more to Mooney’s strengths as compared to looking for 1 year contributors. In general, it looked like the portal list was getting to the “roster filling” point versus getting possible difference makers. Why waste a scholarship on a one year marginal contributor instead of a possible 4 year player?
Arizin didn't have any offers.
Better to fill a scholarship with a one-year marginal contributor than a four-year marginal contributor. Then you get to try again the next year without having to "force" a guy out.
If Graham is a walk on, this means we still have two, possibly three scholarships left for next season?
A relevant question, except for the fact that he made his Kovien post less than 30 minutes later, making his 1st comment exactly what it was, another typical EL post, showing exactly the type of person he is.
I am not indignant, i have been a Spider inside and out since 1975 when I enrolled at UR and when a manager of the basketball team when I graduated in 1978. By the way, I was in school with JOC.
Would you rather someone who knows you comment on whether or not you are a horrible person? I'll stand-by.
I am going to go out on a limb and say that you have had a productive day. Take the rest of the day and have a cold one!
Please clear all questions with VT in the future to make sure they are board appropriate 🤣
If you are referring to me, no I don't know you but simply talking about what you said. Oh , you are the only one that can criticize (if I am wrong please correct me).
No, my next post will criticize you for being you on here. You may be the nicest guy around off the board, and if so, that makes your actions on here that much worse because you know better, and just choose to be a.......well, you choose to not be very nice.
Calling someone Kovien part 26 less than 30 minutes after asking the so called legitimate question is maybe appropriate for this board considering what usually gets posted on here, but it sure is a terrible, disrespectful, and disgusting thing to say.
Disagree. First, you can’t say what type of contributor the high school player will be. Could be marginal, but the staff is supposed to find players with potential. Just looking at the championship video, it seems like this player shows he can shoot and has at least some athleticism, both which the Spiders obviously need. The dregs of the portal are players that have been in college programs for 4 years (due to Covid rule) and have very little output. Giving a scholarship to one of these guys is the equivalent of buying a lottery ticket - yes someone wins but it probably isn’t you. Plus with the new transfer rules I think it is so much simpler for a player to leave on his own accord. I doubt there is any “force” required.
