Maybe this is a technicality, but the Judge’s decision on the joint motion wasn’t made until 12/18.

-Has anyone else noticed that the yesterday the WV judge on the TRO barring the NCAA from keeping athletes with multiple transfers from competing has been extended through the conclusion of the spring sports seasons. Joe is in for the rest of the season!

Still it's a bit surprising... Utah State for example had a complete rebuild, got markedly less impressive transfers and recruits (247 gives their class a composite ranking of 126 vs. 78 for VCU). and he still picked them 122. Oh well, the games are all that matter.

... and #1 in the A10 still hasn't been named.

Looking through the list more generally, one thing I noticed was how very many teams are going through a total, or almost total rebuild this year. Although VCU does have a new coach, we are hardly alone in having an essentially new team. Of course, since the majority of teams are near or...

I agree - but Howard is 139 and Samford is 138. Even Utah State is 122, and they return 0 players from last year.

Have you all noticed that VCU has not yet be mentioned in the College Sports Madness preseason ranking. They start at 144 and are down to 63 (WVU). It's just an outside rating scheme, but they either think we're going to be decent this year (most likely), or terrible!

You guys also left on Michael Doles and Troy Godwin. Both were great players

The overhaul of the team roster with the hire of Odom is hardly surprising, and may have even been at least indirectly invoked. McLaughlin may have hired Odom in light of NIL and the recognition that VCU simply can't cope to compete with P6 schools for players with NIL money. We need a new...

I was just looking at the Utah State team roster for this year, and it's pretty clear why he might be interested in leaving this year. Virtually all of the players who saw any playing time were seniors. For whatever it's worth, he also had a lot of international players on the roster, a couple...

I know it doesn't matter for post season consideration, but our RPI is currently 37th. If I'm not mistaken that compares favorably with some of the better VCU teams 5 or 10 years ago (when RPI mattered).

The NIL /Transfer rule adjustments work against A10 type teams in a frustrating way. These teams will have more churn that the P5 teams, meaning that it will typically take 10-15 games for the new teams to meld. By the middle of the season, these teams can be competitive with P5 teams, but...

You guys omit Tako Fall. That NCAA game with Central Florida was an absolute nightmare. Tako hasn't had a stellar professional career, but he was a problem for us. I remember MSS holding his hands up just to keep the UCF guards from lobbing the ball into him, and MSS's reach hardly exceeded...

Not to change the subject, but top 144 basketball previews came in with a preseason ranking of #50 for VCU, 3rd in A10.

I think you guys may be overstating the salary possibilities for a 2nd round pick in the 35-40 range. They tend to get about $450 K. Even a late first round pick gets four times as much. Staying a VCU is unquestionably a risk for Hyland, but he can't ignore the upside from the additional...

How about Michael Doles and Willie Taylor?

Did anybody notice that six of the names on the team roster page are printed with a darker background than the rest (Saunders, Rodriguez, Skeen, Theus, Santil and Gwynn). Does it mean anything?
