Welcome to VCU, Lazar Djokovic!

Don't agree with George that the A-10 needs to get back to 15 but another good listen in the newcomer roundup.

I'm not sure I agree with him either, and I think I heard a rumor (probably from here) that CoC isn't interested in moving up due to the cost of keeping up with a higher league. They WOULD be a great add, though.

It’s definitely a balancing act. There is some strength in numbers but that depends on how much of the load each team carries. I like CoC but I like them as a replacement more than just a straight add. Yes we are down UMASS but I have a couple others in mind that I would like to see go.
he reality is there are schools that can’t come close in NIL and Rev share and those schools will be a statistical burden on the conference. If CoChas the resources to compete as stated in the Podcast, it would be a no brainer to replace some a non spender with them
 
Wow! I did not realize Lazar had a 40 inch vertical. If accurate that's sick for a guy 6'11" and 235lbs. I knew he was an excellent athlete and loves to get out in transition. He should be very proficient down on the block. He shot 52% from the field last year. Although a good shot blocker sounds like he needs to focus on defense and polish up some inside moves to take that next step. Tremendous potential here. Also had a very good coach in Chris Mack. I think the anticipated fast pace is right up his alley.
 
I watch these early season videos for inter-squad scrimmages and I think, is our offense that good or is our defense that bad OR is our offense that bad or our defense that good? I spend the whole summer thinking about that..........

the interviewee in the Rewind episode has covered the CoC team for ages and he reports that their player budget is competitive "with the top half of the A10." FWIW

Yeah, I miss a lot of the game, had a meeting scheduled before this game was scheduled. Who knew we'd have a Monday night game to start the season. Anyway a few minutes after I got to turn it on, he was holding some guy off and asking for the ball down low, he got it was fouled and hit the foul shots. I loved seeing that.

Isn’t the opening of every college basketball season on a Monday night for the most part?
