I’m thrilled to see Khwan having a great experience in his last year of eligibility. Hope he has a big run in the tournament.
Khwan Fore Update

Of course you do. Treads relative to Grant or Gilyard winning the A10 player of the week or Grant potentially having the most point as a sophomore in Spider history or Gilyard potentially setting the NCAA steal record accumulate few positive comments, but Khwan transferring and averaging about 3 points a game on 35% should gets 481 comments and counting. We got great fans on this board!
I do not think the players support all the negative posts and view the posters as heroes. I do however think the players have a very strong desire to win, understand that the fan base does too, and are smart enough to understand that not winning will make the fan base frustrated (in the same way Gilyard takes about his frustrations with the way the team was accepting losing earlier this year).
Also, your “consequences for transferring” are petty and help to continue the mind set that the players are the only ones getting something out of their scholarships, and therefore should just be happy to have it.
Furthermore, to bash a guy who graduated and then left as a graduate student is just “ “ (please fill in the blank). I had hoped he would stay, and I think this thread celebrating him is a little much, but I’d rather be on the side of celebrating a fellow alumn than calling him a traitor and saying he’s not welcome back on campus.
Apparently players transferring is worse than coaches not winning. Weird.
Maybe. If this board is a bellwether for the fan base at large (a leap for certain) then your assumption is wrong.
You know what would have made this thread a lot shorter? Us winning and making the NCAAs. Or at least finishing higher than 10th in our own crappy league.
I wish no ill will on Khwan. He gave his time, got a degree from the University of Richmond, and wanted to pursue his dream elsewhere. His degree means he'll always be a Spider.
But out of the hundreds of guys that transfer, can you even give a few more examples other than our board?
No because there aren’t that many teams who have missed 8 straight ncaas and still retained their coach.
Yep. Among multi-bid leagues, there are two: us and Penn State. In fairness to Chambers, he was hired to repair a disaster. Mooney was coming off a Sweet 16.
They havent won enough! Personal accomplishments dont mean squat if you dont put wins up. Same w every fanbase in the world. Jerseys are rarely retired anywhere if the player wasnt a part of a winning team. Records can be set but the win/lose record and championships are the only thing anyone will remember. Sorry Grant and Gilyard.
I would hate for their careers to be surrounded with the comments “if only they had a coach,” or “a shame they couldn’t keep recruits together,” or....
Again, look at the careers of Jarod, Eric, carlos, and Daryl. They are looked at positively because they made it to the ncaa and won. Had Dooley never been fired (not rehired), the rhetoric changes.

KF only got 13 minutes today with with no points on 0-2 shooting with Cards beating ND. Perry played better and got his time along with KIng getting more minutes. If team can't score enough, Mack has to prioritize O over D especially with ND not being a team that isn't going to light up the scoreboard.
I agree. I watched that game and KF was totally ineffective in his 13 minutes.
It is interesting you say that, because I believe the players we recruit are very intelligent young men. If they're reading this board, they'd notice that any time someone asks you for an example of the "many vicious personal attacks on players" or "number of posters who want to hurt the program" you bring up, you can never provide one. That's because you fake more "attacks" than Jussie Smollett. I think they see right through you.
Given that most of his former teammates are still publicly supporting him on SM (and vice versa), they probably don't view him has a traitor. Since he'll still be playing meaningful basketball in two weeks, he's probably OK with the negative consequences.
I hear the poster of the 500th post on Fore will receive a Louisville jersey. Go for it, Guys!
KF gives us someone to root for in the NCAA tournament. Wish it could be our Spiders, but who knows when that'll be. My guess - 3 years.
When should we start the De’Monte Buckingham 2019-2020 season thread?
I can't wait for the Buck thread next year. Buck is gonna tear it up out in Bakersfield.
Also, we will have a thread on whichever player(s) are transferring this year. Because you know that is happening.
The differences between DMBs situation and Khwan's is that DMB was asked to leave. Khwan got a degree and left on his own accord. One got something for his hard work and gave 4 years of his time to the program, while DMB let his teammates, school and himself down in the short time he was here. To me they aren't the same situation.
I'd transfer from Richmond to Louisville for a seat that good. Even if it meant that one VT guy on here smack-talking me every day
Khawn hasn't scored in the last 4 four games in 17 minutes per contest but still extremely proud of what he has accomplished this year. Played for a program that has been historic over the years though tarnished of late by that thing called Pitino. Mack's team played the #11 hardest overall schedule this year along with #32 ranked OOC schedule. Kudos KF.
Mack and the Ville did even better than I expected this year. I know 4700 predicted them to not make the tourney this year. Way off with all if his seemingly insider info this year. Hope Fore gets a chance to win a couple games in the dance.
Louisville 75 ND 53
Good news for Khawn tonight. Cards advanced as expected with ease but doubt they get by NC tomorrow. KF finally got back in the box with 2 points on 1-6 FGA in 20 minutes. Took 2 shots right from the get but neither fell and appeared he was the player ND was least concerned with.

Of course not K, but it's the closest thing to feeling like I'm rooting for a Spider on a winning team.
LOL! True and easily could have had the goose egg tonight too. Mooney's team surely didn't need that lousy production coming back this year.
