I think Briante is absolutely the next one. He made a huge impact while at VCU. He was HAVOC. Who else? Melvin Johnson? Maybe? THAT is a stretch.

I don't think Odom is looking at Okafor as anything other than a developmental player. Maybe he figures if the guy can get healthy for a full year then he'd be a good depth piece with potential to be more. My point is that we don't see the guy in practice and we don't know what Odom thinks of him.

Me too.

Okafor held at least one D1 scholarship offer, from Hampton, when he decided to come to VCU. There's also the rumor that Harvard wanted him, but only if he did a prep year. I recognize neither Hampton nor Harvard are going to get anyone excited around here, but my point is that the guy isn't a...

I would *think* that if Okafor had his scholly pulled, he might consider leaving VCU. He would then enter the portal. That hasn't happened. Until we hear otherwise, we should probably assume he's going to be under scholarship. None of us know what he's looked like in practice ... at least...

CRAAAAAAAP.

You'll all recall that the A10 and Mountain West agreed to do a "challenge" series. IIR we were set to play UNLV, but I could be off on that. The agreement was killed by COVID and not revived. All mid-majors struggle to schedule quality opponents. This sort of things seems like a complete no...

Athletes sometimes illogically come up with things to motivate themselves. If you ever watched "Last Dance," Michael Jordan talked about how he sometimes bent over backwards to convince himself to take something personally. Yeah ... Clark did it to himself, but he blamed VCU for tossing him...

I haven't been following him since he left. Did his outside shot develop at all, or will he just be a 5 playing the 4 position?

Question that comes to my mind: Does Loy-Chi play Deloach as a 4 or 5?

Interesting. Presumably he's either he's trying to lure Brickus to VCU, or knows Brickus is already coming and is excited.

Interesting.

Right. I forgot about that. What I meant was that there wasn't much to get excited about while I was actually attending VCU, which was from 1990-94.

Agreed. Sonny was coach while I was at VCU. Not much to get excited about except for the NIT bid in 1993.

Could be.

Holy crud ... I just realized VCU has only had ONE coach who stayed more than six seasons, and it was good old Sonny Smith. I suspect some of you knew that already, but I didn't.

We'd actually have four 5th year COVID guys if you count Bamisile. I'm not very good at math (as I always say, I'm a communications major ... we don't count things) but if Max doesn't come back, then everything starts to make a lot of sense. You have Brickus as the primary PG, although others...

Bummer about your guy getting in trouble. We all want the scoop, but it's not worth it to jeopardize your career. I hope your info about the rest of the team staying intact is correct. What percentage of certainty would you give it?

I have no clue why Hurley would change jobs right now unless they tripled his pay. He's won back to back national championships. When you do that, you can recruit at the highest level there is. If the rumors of UConn jumping to another conference play out, his salary will rise simply because...

I think we ARE among the top five mid-majors in all of college basketball right now. We may have a down year here or there, but these days a down year means we're in the NIT and not the NCAA Tourney. There aren't many true mid-majors (I don't count Gonzaga as a mid-major) that can say that...
