Definitely will be interesting. A lot of what I read in this thread is people questioning whether the affiliation they feel with VCU as their alma mater will continue to carry over to the basketball program.

Well, crap.

Perhaps. Charlotte has been a banking and financial center for many decades. HQ for Bank of America, Truist Financial, Lending Tree. And has been a financial center since my grandfather was a banker in Cabarrus County, before American Airlines was founded. Not defending Richmond politicians...

Yep, I agree. Will be interesting to see if the current slight downward trend in youth tackle football continues, or if it was just a pandemic dip.

I've long thought the minor league baseball model makes the most sense. Paid, professional development leagues, along side a college system that gives kids interested in a college degree the opportunity to pursue one. That system exists only because it pre-dates the introduction of any kind of...

An AD today, particularly at Enormous State University, runs a multi-sport conglomerate. Kinda like the Fenway Sports Group. The teams they have - Red Sox, Penguins, Liverpool FC - all have their own GMs. I just feel like this kind of arms race is inevitable when there's so much money...

There comes a point where the differences in resources are marginal at best, but the differences in expectations become crushingly large. I think Drew is smart.

That would be a really strong core group to build around.

Really happy for this news!

I'm happy - Zeb gives us a solid player in the backcourt.

Still running things like they did when all the pay was under the table, I guess?

Where's AA's weasel?

Honestly, I never really I looked at the geometry of Max's feet.

I want the A10 to elevate its competitive profile. I have confidence we will continue to compete and win. Good for SLU. Go Rams!

Last day to enter the transfer portal is May 1st? I'm glad Max is getting the NBA feedback. Every college player with a glimmer of a chance to play in the Association should do that. I also hope that if he doesn't go pro, he comes back to VCU for his covid year.

I really wish it had worked out for Rose at VCU. Wish him all the best.

Not trying to low key it - yes, Shaka put that great staff together. We saw in the last few years what can happen when the head coach doesn't (or won't) recognize and take action when there is a gap in his full staff's capabilities and strengths. It's as important as having a group of players...

I agree with this. Having seen all three as head coaches at VCU, their strengths were complementary to each other. Don't forget Jamion Christian and Mike Morrell, either. Both have had measure of success as D1 head coaches.

I understand- there's no doubt that winning the ACC Tournament is absolutely earning their place in the dance. I just worry a bit that their success in the NCAA tourney lends credence to the idea that any P5 school, regardless of conference record, is still "better" than a mid-major with an...

On the one hand, I love watching the Dukes of the world go down to defeat. On the other, I hate seeing an example of why a P5 with a losing conference record should be invited to the dance instead of a mid-major. Since I have both a niece and nephew who are NC State alums, I'll go with rooting...
