    The Official Beat the Utah Utes in Salt Lake City in the NIT Quarterfinals Thread

    Very, very disappointing outcome. Did not look at all ready to play. That said, Utah is a better team plain and simple.

    Update - VT now has had 6 players enter the portal. Of course there are several others that have used up their eligibility as well.

    I agree. When you see a program with their conference affiliation and plentiful resources struggling to retain players it scares the h out of you. Stability has gone the way of the unicorn.

    Recruiting Transfer Portal

    VT will now have to replace it's entire starting line-up next year. Four players have entered the portal in the last 24-hours. There may be more to come. Around a 1000 entries now. Not at all a fan of VT but it supports what we were discussing earlier. You better be peddle to the meddle on the...

    In the mid 70's I went down to the gym at MCV to play pick-up. I tried it at Franklin Strret and it just did not work. I fit in better with the Pre-Med and Dental guys.

    Players 2023-24 Roster Thread

    I think everyone that follows collegiate sports knows that recruiting is the life blood of any successful program. With the advent of free-agency(portal and NIL) it is now 24/7/365. You literally don't know what your roster will look like week to week. Recruiting is a perpetual necessity now.

    Just another variable in the equation coaches will have to deal with. Coaches will have to try to ascertain if a prospect in the portal is there to legitimately move on or is he there to bid up his NIL but remain where he is. You certainly don't want to spend a lot of time and resources on...

    Recruiting Transfer Portal

    My understanding is that the Transfer Portal will be used somewhat differently this year. Previously most kids that entered the portal transferred. Apparently this year a lot of players will enter the portal for the sole purpose of leveraging their current school for more NIL. Bid the price up...

    League A10 Basketball: news and discourse around the league

    Lived on Long Island for the first 14-years of my life. Still have family there. I remember the days of going to Manhattan and Brooklyn even late at night and feeling safe. That's gone now. Pretty lawless up there. A real shame as NYC is a fantastic place to visit.

    My understanding with respect to the revised rules is that everything is game as long as you don't violate state laws.

    T They need to find a way to win on the road especially against middling teams. They really need a win tommorow.

    As expected the women got blown-out by Villinova giving up 75 points. Although they had a good regular season they can never win anything meaningful.

    It appears another 44 players have entered the portal by lunch-time today. A mass exodus is on the way. I happened to notice 6'10"Demetrius Lilley from Penn State entered today.

    Recruiting Transfer Portal

    I totally agree. Many of these agents are "Street Agents" like AAU Coaches, friends, family members etc. and are often exploiting the kids. It' more prevalent than we think. This is now literally a total unregulated environment and many kids will be losers in the end-game.

    Recruiting Transfer Portal

    There is another dynamic to keep in mind during this year's portal phase. Many players are/will enter the portal simply to leverage a better NIL deal from their current school. This will be fairly common this year. Players agents are negotiating as we speak with both the players team of record...

    Allette is an extremely talented player and was ODU's best recruit over the past 10-years. That said, he was dismissed for a reason. We would need to ascertain exactly what that reason(s) was. He was the top Canadian prep player to enter the US last year. Based on what I've heard he will be...

    Recruiting Transfer Portal

    Buckle-up. The window to enter the transfer portal has been reduced from 60-days to 45-days. The deadline will be May 1st to enter the portal. Another significant change is that the NCAA has stated they will discontinue investigating NIL groups pretty much leaving things wide open as long as it...
