Re: '24 VA PG Ben Hammond (URI LOI ---> ??? )
Does the LOI serve any purpose anymore? What’s the point? It is a one way deal. The player can stay but still negotiate for a better deal elsewhere. From a practical standpoint, the school has to guarantee the scholarship and a spot on the roster. Doesn’t that make it a good deal for the player and...

Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23
Here's the question - are we still paying KJ if his contract ends in June? Does GT reimburse? Is there any sort of breach of contract rules that is simply part of the business of going to another job? I'm not saying we should sue or anything, just whenever all these assistants leave for other posit...

Re: A-10 Awards
Let’s not under estimate the importance of a rim protector as part of a quality defensive team. Fuchs is simply not a rim protector by either his jumping ability or his anticipation.
This could easily be the reason he was not honored and we should consider this limitation of Fuchs for our future.
