Here we go again. Same format as last year. Posting this now as a place holder for when the portal or coaching carousel starts to heat up. Not making any assumptions about who may be returning until they have either indicated that they are coming back or the portal closes. Given what could be coming I am going to do the same with recruits as well. So we start with 0 and build from there as players are confirmed. 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 again!

In terms of points per game, the Rams will lose an average of 61 from the five, extended eligibility "seniors."

It is possible VCU will start the 25-26 season with less than 10 points per game among the returnees.

That said, predict the Black 'n' Gold will be A10 preseason favorite.

Players and coaches may flee ... but the juicy budget isn't going anywhere.
 
I never thought i would say this but we are gonna need some transfer student/athletes.
 
It would be a shame to have to get an entirely new team next year.

Would be ecstatic if we can keep Jennings and Belle.

Hill would be awesome, but not holding my breathe.

Fermin would be cool as well. decent backup.

I don't see how Luke, Fats, or Carrere stick around.

If we could keep Jennings, Belle, Hill, Fermin as rotation pieces and get old quick in the portal.... could be near the top of the league next year again.
 
Has RO left yet? May be hope, Bu the way we played yesterday, we might want to start over J/K

Hope Fermin is on the roster next year…and gets about 3 minutes a game in mop up duty

Together, The Ferminator and the Luke out Mountain averaged 8.4 points and 6.4 rebounds, shot well over 50 percent and combined for a whopping 122 blocked shots.

Best tag team since the Road Warriors, Hawk 'n' Animal.

Fats might stay, could finally be his time. I’m a lot higher on him than most here though.
