He's closing in on double-digit P5 offers. Gonna be a tough one for us, but gotta take the shot.

I can't figure out why more programs haven't offered. When Dikembe Mutombo has a 6-11 son, YOU OFFER HIM – sight unseen, if need be. Right?
Ryan says Georgia Tech, Georgetown, Stanford and Clemson have been recruiting him hardest. No mention of us.

Could you email him and remind him of our interest? Thanks.
That is the answer to the question...."Name 4 schools that Richmond will finish ahead of in the final standings of 2021?
At least like seeing us making an effort for these type of kids - and they way to do it, is try to get in early with them. Are they more likely to end up at a P5 - probably so. But maybe you get a kid who appreciates you being there from day 1 and sees the potential of the program.
I feel like lately we would not even be mentioned with these kids - so at least being in the conversation, albeit pushed out now - shows we are trying to recruit these top 100 kids. Which is a positive.

add to that, they go P5, they get limited playing time, or plenty of time with some success but get recruited over and they begin to look to transfer -- they might recall the good felling they had for UR

Agreed - in this day and age of transfers, not to mention the NCAA is considering a 1 time waiver for all transfers so they don't have to sit out. Any kid in the top 100 in the Richmond area (or within 2 hours of it) should be recruited by the Spiders. Even if we know our chances are slim - the kid is in your backyard, build the relationship - you never know - he might pick the Spiders now or might pick them later if he decides to transfer.
If ever, the HBCU's have an opportunity to be relevant again in college basketball, it would be now.
Another L for Mooney. Local GA recruiting site actually had Schieffelin over him. But anyway, Mooney always has a reason for the L.
we, and everybody else not named Georgetown, never had a chance with Mutumbo. he played the game and let people recruit him for fun, but he's known Ewing his entire life. he literally calls Ewing "Uncle Pat". lol. he was never going anywhere else.
nothing to see here.
The question in my mind why even bother? Does the staff get credit for making an effort regardless of how highly unlikely it is? In my opinion you need to have some stretch goals, but not impossible ones.
