Hopefully, she is too busy re-recruiting all our incoming kids and current roster to be bothered with a simple PR matter. The people who need to hear from her now are the kids, not the likes of us. Once she secures that, she will have plenty of time to win us over!

I would submit that this is 100% the philosophy for many. Outside of maybe the Top 20 recruits in the country, Don't bother much with freshman recruiting because your NIL dollars aren't producing right away. A Top tier program doesn't want to pay a freshman a big bag for a development year...

This is sort of my point - - the best player on a bad team will "produce" if we define production as simply scoring. Even really bad teams will score 60-70 points a game and someone is going to get them. It doesn't actually tell you too much about them and even less about how they will do at...

So here is the problem with the current state of college basketball - A guy like Tyne is transferring to a school on this list for one more year of college basketball. Whether he was asked to move on, had his NIL reduced/eliminated and/or wants more (uh no!), or just wants more playing time...

So, I don't know what else what else our money could buy, so I won't pan this entirely but I will say that I am not nearly as excited as the board seems to be. I saw Bucknell in person a few times and on the TV/tape a few more. So first off, they were terrible - clearly worse than us I would...

This is where a new coach can make or break there whole tenure in the first 30 days on the job! Job 1 for Kresge is to keep the already signed recruits. This is less important if you are taking over a program with a major rebuild and the recruits may not be what you really need to turn things...

That our 2nd team defense dominated our starting offense is neither good nor surprising. Only TD of the game was a 57 yard "scamper" (read: busted play) by the back-up (presumably) QB. Also not good. Bottom line is unless we have a real OC from outside the Huesman tree who is fully empowered...

I’d see Harper first crack at the 2 and Kaiser at the 3. We'd be a very different looking team with these three. But not sure the Coach would know what to with them. That group certainly shouldn't be running the Mooney 1990's offense but do we really think he'll change it?

Kennedy would be a good get. He can score but does some other stuff too! Not great defensively, but also don't think he is as bad as some of last years portal group!

Tough spot for the new coach this year with a very late start on the portal and a roster in need of some infusion. Lots of players already know what they are doing and most others are deep in the process. Not to mention that a new coach just has less to sell about Richmond and the program in a...

I think this is probably true but think that's probably direction we were going to head anyway. Not a ton of offense returning and Wright, Newell (in portal I know) are next up in returning minutes and are defensive players. Plus our only big that might get minutes (Campbell) is going to be...

Already has taken too long!

I am a fan of Griffith at Columbia. She would be an excellent choice. Good success at an academic school and does with a lot of the same type recruits as we would get.

Think this one may have been coming anyway. Her minutes were waning as year went on and especially as Wright began to emerge. She was important to have with her defense on a team that had Maggie and Rachel for offense, but next year, we will need to find much more offense from that spot.

3 days should be the working timeline IMHO. Recruits and roster both need to hear from the new coast that fast before they will "check out" in the meantime.
