Melvin and Jordan were ESPN100 commits in 2012 too

Yep. Tevin Mack and Kenny Williams. Larrier, Gilmore and Tillman in 2014 too. 2014 VCU had 3 ESPN100 recruits and Larrier was a top 50 recruit. Shaka was rolling back then.

UR Thread on Billups This thread on the UR made for some fun evening reading!

I mean Coach Grant didn’t pan out at Alabama but he led Dayton to a regular season that is undeniably better than any in VCU history the season before last. They were very like to be a 1 seed that year if a tournament had been played. At the very least he has Dayton near if not at the very top...

Also the former JUCO of one former VCU commit and eventual Wichita State starter named Carl Hall.

heck yeah, Reddic goes for the 2 hand flush and the ball hits back iron and flies straight up and Shannon catches it right behind him and follows with the thunder jam! That was SICK!!!

Here’s my list based off of limited fandom and watching YouTube tape almost exclusively supplied by @Mistachill (you’re the real MVP!). I’m almost certainly missing guys, so you folks who’ve been around for the 70s and 80s fill me in on who I’m missing! 1. Kendrick Warren 2. Willie Taylor 3...

Definitely agree with those that say if you’re a NBA level talent it’s generally better to get in front of NBA level skill coaches, strength & conditioning trainers, nutritionists etc. There are limitations to the instruction you can get in college versus in the NBA or the G-league. In the end...

LOL can’t even imagine how a homecoming would look 😂😂😂

Truly a universal general reaction to having someone you hate to lose move on for what they view as an upgrade. We’re not alone in that. Probably amplified a bit losing your coach to a hated rival. Would have been like Shaka Smart getting hired away by ODU for us. 🤮

Joe Paterno and Rick Pitino’s love child. Try to keep up! 😉

LOL the A-10 looks like geniuses for the conference tournament move-up now. Plus it robbed Richmond of a home game with us and opportunities to play themselves into the field. They would have just lost them anyway the way they ended the season, but still an ancillary benefit.

Granted, we’ll get plenty of National exposure in the NCAAs, especially if we make a run, but having a 2 hour uninterrupted ad on CBS all over the country is good pub for VCU. We’ll get ad spots for the University during commercials and no doubt both St. Bonaventure and VCU will be getting...

If anything all these bubble teams losing and other teams having COVID positives that are jeopardizing their eligibility for the NCAAs only cements our place in the field I would think.

I’m guessing it’s the CBS nationally televised game going into Selection Sunday that is too hard to pass up for the A-10. That’s a big time slot for the league.

I believe you still get the payout for a win in the first four. We got 6 credits for our Final Four run which would have included the win over USC in Dayton. so in a way it’s the most lucrative thing for VCU. Especially since we bag 75% of the credit’s value in the A-10 revenue sharing model.
