and it will be viewed as major improvement over this past season! Extend Mooney!
I think the no guys leaving issue is has a few facets. You hit one - most of our guys have had their value diminished under Mooney this last season. Bad stats, and losing games is not an attractive look. Also, the culture of comfort - if you are not getting a bag somewhere else - at least you have a pretty stress free basketball environment at Richmond. And thirdly, guessing Moon is just not into "forcing" guys out. So every day that passes seems like we may have our roster set.
Nah no way. Re: getting picked 14th. It's the A10. not that some other mediocre to bad poll spot is anything to celebrate.
Tyne can defend at the point, but he's not a point guard offensively. I know we run a lot through our big men, but a point has to create a little. Tyne doesn't create. He's really a short 2 guard ... despite the shooting percentage.
Johnston is our offensive scoring PG. if Tyne shoots better next year, play him at the 2 offensively. Otherwise he's the backup point ... despite the loyalty.

depends on whose spot we'd be replacing.
I think it's a different plan if Graham portals vs if Beagle portals.
Gonna repeat myself. The Mooney loyalty factor prevails and is consistent. Without naming past players out of respect for them, we’ve seen this play out. Tyne will start and will get lots of minutes. Not saying he is in the class of several of our outstanding small guards thru the years, but he did have a good run to close out the year. Also, all the other possibilities right now such as redshirts, transfers, and freshmen are unproven as Spiders, and we really don’t know how they perform in Mooneyball. Projection and reality don’t always align.
I get what u are saying. Hopefully, we can land another shooter and a big if both Soulis and Beagle are gone.
Clean house. Get all new players and then just pray since Mooney is going nowhere.
I don’t know the makeup of the portal, but getting 2 bigs or even 1 might be easier said than done. Or if bigs are available then what skill level are they?
Not at all easy. We typically roster two center types and often a third with at least one of these being developmental. With soulis gone we are in rough shape after next year.
