I agree. Zeb is perhaps a realist and knows already: improve 3 pt J and finishing at the rim. His NBA stock would rise significantly. He already has things that can’t be coached: size, speed and athleticism. Go Zeb!

I could see a wealthy alumni who happens to love a non-revenue generating sport dropping money into their school to make it nationally relevant quickly. I suspect if someone loved men’s golf or tennis and had $200k a year for say 5 years to toss at NIL that they could really buy some top talent...

If Brickus becomes a Ram, how many years eligibility?

We must improve our OOC schedule and play good programs on the road and stop with all the excuses. Last year’s transition and rebuild earned a scheduling mulligan. This year no way.

I need my mommy, and a 4/5 star recruit. 😂

lol, you’re probably right. Regardless, once the dust settles on portal and NIL, we’ll be ok. VCU will evolve, survive, and regain our swag.

Most all D1 bb programs must be feeling anxious. So many changes with little oversight and no historical baseline data. It’s going to take time to sort this out for everyone, including P6’s. Change doesn’t bother me as much as the scope, pace and impact major without any real oversight...

Isn’t having more talent than minutes the objective? The portal provides kids lots of opportunity to align their talent, desire for PT, and now financial interests, with where they’ll play. Coaches also come/go for more enhanced opportunity to raise their NIL and the next pay step. It’s...

How would unionization work in a right-to-play state, i.e., kids that want to play but not in a union? Perhaps we outsource our Rams to Mexico and pay them less? 🤪

Last year we had to lean on Max too much, almost impacting his performance early season with little depth. What a wonderful “problem” it would be to have a Max/Brickus rotation!

His injury was huge as it not only required mental/physical recovery it also significantly impacted his interaction with team. Not being able to play in games is ever good, but it’s compounded without daily practicing with teammates, Wish Bairstow the best and happy he was a Ram, if only for a...

Zeb can move the ball up court under control like few others. Recent fans may be reminded of J. Lewis kind of speed. Older fans (like me) might think of Gerald Henderson. Both also very athletic. But neither have Zeb’s size. Can’t wait for an off-season jump in his 3 percentage. Great VCU...

lol, I ended my post with “Spring dreamin”. This is an offseason bb thread; posters this portal time of year are adolescents making out their list for Santa. We realize it’s all for fun, even when others like to tell the kids Santa’s not real😂

Wouldn’t it be unreal if Ace came back snd Max stays, with Zeb and Fats off the bench. Talk about a versatile backcourt. Spring dreaming🤪
