Or Wheeler?

Does the portal "close" on May 1? Do all players need to have signed by then? How does this work? If so there will be a mad rush at the end. Kind of like the NFL draft...there are actually more players than spots for them.

Very nervous

yes...what a mess....

The Ukraine parliament just passed a law saying every male between the age of 18 and 60 needs to register for the draft previously I think the limit was age 27 or something like that? Within Ukraine, they basically arrest young men and send them to the front. I have not heard of them arresting...

I wonder if he is after a higher tier program than VCU.

Best of luck to him.

Hopefully some good players have interest in us.

Time for the staff to work the portal Feel great about the program’s direction. Might be one step back for every two forward but VCU is on the right path under Odom.

They really picked up the rebounding in the second half. That helped tremendously. Billups...what is up there...good to see him score and make a meaningful contribution.

Definitely need some frontcourt scoring. I wonder how much the coaches know already as to who really will be moving around and where they truly have interest. Hopefully Odom has at least few in mind already.

They have to stop blowing the big leads...ugh....but good to show the toughness to finish well.

You can blame Rhoades for that. Which is part of why he was canned. Unable to win a tournament game and asking for a lot more money. Nope. Hopefully the new guy gets us there soon.

Yes, the front court really hurt us. We really need at least one of Jackson or Shulga to return! If Odom can convince Jackson to stay AND can find at least one portal player like Brandon Jennings...a 6'8" or bigger guy who can consistently get 8-10 points and 6-8 boards that will go a long...

Well Guardthearc it certainly is about personnel as you point out! I just don’t think we had the best set of horses this year. Odom needs to hit the portal, hard, fast, and most importantly, wisely. So I’m still not clear on Jackson and Shulga… are they returning next year?

So true. Those who recognize the “new game” fastest will be the winners. Hit the portal hard this year! It’s basically free agency

Yes it can work out! I am sure he knows this.

I still feel positive about the overall direction of the program. Much better than under Michael Rhoades. Mike could get players but really could not get them to produce when it mattered most. No NCAA tourney wins in what 6 or 7 years despite some very good players. This problem this year...

And you did well!

Love hearing the history of the game!
