2024-25 Roster Thread

Here we go again. Same format as last year. Hopefully with a little less action the first week. Not making any assumptions about who may be returning until they have either indicated that they are coming back or the portal closes on May 1st. I will edit this post daily if things are changing to keep the most recent info at the top. With that being said let's have a great off season and put together a roster that can win the A10!

With Zeb & Bam who would everyone want if you had to pick one....Jhamir Brickus or Jamarii Thomas?

Thomas. Been my number 1 pg target since he jumped in the portal. He lit it up last time he played at the Stu, let’s make that a regular thing

He brought the fire to VCU, would love that kind of energy

He knows how to win in the Siegel Center!

The issue then becomes.... what if after 1 year at a new school, where that same coach, that just recruited you there the year before.... he or she tells you "It's in your best interest to transfer".... because they got recruited over..... or the player just wasn't a good fit.

Prime example..... Roosevelt Wheeler.

What do you do then?

That's a fair question and one I don't have an answer for other than to say no system will be perfect. Since players are now getting paid, I'm a lot less sympathetic to some of these "hardships". So for your above example, I'd say use your one free transfer or sit for a year. There have to be some guard rails in place otherwise it's gonna just be the wild wild west which isn't good for the game, IMO.
