Perhaps the most damning thing when reflecting on another VCU loss and the past couple of seasons. I miss reading the game threads, whether win or loss, where we had real opinions on game strategy, coaching decisions, particular plays etc. to talk about. We've become so numb by the general...

I've noticed the same thing with JRob and passing. There are also certain guys who almost exclusively cut vs. go for the dribble hand off. Mooney says the offense is all about reading the defense, but it sure looks like the team is making up their minds in advance.

Look at Josh Scherz, the SLU coach, engaging with fans after their game last night. This is the type of program engagement and culture building that we are severely lacking under Mooney. I'm not saying Mooney needs to take jello shots with fans after the game but man, he does the bare minimum to...

I'd be curious if alot of Davidson fans are thinking the same, I agree.

Now if I saw this before my other message, I may have just agreed and saved myself 10 minutes :)

I think size will be the limiting factor for him. I'd imagine he will get some looks from teams, especially if he lands on the A10 all freshman team, but P4 teams may think he is too slight to pickup. Certainly, he is at the top of the priority list for the offseason.

I think there's alot of maybe's in there... I agree that the portal isn't cheap but I've not seen evidence of another mid major program having success going on all on HS recruiting and foregoing the transfer portal. I will also add the caveat that I'm not a fan of the infinite transfers and...

Totally agree there but that's Moon defense - put your players in compromising positions.

Agree and the worst part is, he's implied in recent press conferences that he wants to revert to that cycle, instead of leaning in to the transfer portal era...

Agree with everything, especially how stupid the midrange jumpers are. Lopez, Tanner and Walz love some fadeaway mid range jumpers... Only thing I was disagree with is Walz being good on both ends. He was good offensively, loved the aggression. He got worked defensively, particularly when...

Not sure this is a fair description. He came in for 1 single defensive possession in the first half, he defended a driver the the hoop and forced a miss, then Djokovic got an offensive rebound, he forced him to also miss the putback and then VCU got another offensive rebound where AA committed a...

I agree with this. I also think we can make him the highest paid player on the team next season and give him all the minutes he can handle and there is a good chance he stays. I would imagine his size was the most limiting factor in his recruitment. Pair that with the fact that Richmond has been...

Agree with everything that has been said above and just wanted to add a couple more observations: 1. AP seemed to be in the doghouse until almost the end of the first half. He didn't take his warmup off until it was clear that Beagle and Walz were ailing. For as much as people rag on his...

Exactly! And that overhead pass Beagle throws to the cutter is not a realistic in game pass. That thing has fast break dunk written all over it

The subbing 2 minutes into the game makes no sense to me. The game has had probably 5 possessions total, and the guys are just starting to get a feel for the game. It takes multiple possessions on both sides of the ball to even figure out how the opponent is going to play you that game etc.
