Good for Khwan, as he bounces around from school to school looking for the best deal, he has chosen another school where he won’t be burdened by academic requirements and can just worry about playing. Now that he is just 300 miles from home, the family can practically ride their bikes to watch him play. Watch the ACC employ the Hack-A-Khwan defense next year. They will also be slacking off of Fore to dare him to shoot the 3.
No both chose to leave the team for their own personal aggrandizement. Both placed themselves above the team.
Your speculation is more worthy than someone else's? Pure BS.
Agree, this type of complete stupidity to Mooney's complete lack of change is the only reason I have 1 percent of doubt this is not a Mooney minion. But probably is anyway.
You consistently repeat this illogical and baseless theory. Where do you come up with this stuff? I've asked before - did Mooney tell you this? Mooney has always been loyal to returning starters, and that includes some far less talented than KF. Put me in the camp that KF would have gotten similar minutes as last season.
Perhaps it's the attitude with which your opinion is delivered.
I actually don’t disagree with your position on Khwan. I think folks are reacting negatively to your style which tends to come across as if others are idiots for thinking a 2-3 year starter wasn’t likely to see a lot of minutes. You may be correct but history and our roster composition hardly make it a slam dunk.
You are creating your own theories to justify what you think Mooney "should or would have done if KF returned". For the most part, and for anyone who has watched Mooney over the years, he is extremely repetitive, patterned, and loyal in his approaches. Are there aberrations along the way - yes but minimal. KF was one of best defensive players & showed sparks of offensive aggressiveness. He's also a floor leader.
Briefly wanted to weigh in on this line of thinking. In conversations with people who know a lot more basketball than I, the loss of Khwan is a significant one. My personal opinion is that he was/is a very good player who would have been a significant contributor this year had he stayed. But he chose to move closer to home for his final year with his UR degree in hand. To me, this is perfectly understandable and I have already wished him nothing but the best both on this board and in person. Having said that, I do believe there is a possibility that the Spiders will be improved this coming season. The "Big Three" are back and will be even better than last year. The grad transfer from Yale is proven to be a player and this class of recruits appears to be a good one. The two guards in this class are both 6'4" and already are quite strong and skilled, and both are well schooled in the type of basketball Richmond plays. Sal, the 6'8" forward from New York was highly recruited and may be one of our best. Moreover, Tomas looks like he is developing into a contributor and Nathan was already a contributor last year. So I can identify with the line of thinking that we won only 12 games last year and change was definitely needed, and even without Khwan, the Spiders may be much improved.
