I thought this might be of interest in the broader scheme. 40% of D1 players transfer by their sophomore season. I'm not sure what our average is or the A10 as a whole. Just food for thought.

Wishing Dana the best! Great kid, good player. I see him going to a lower conference and starting. Not sure if that was ever in the cards for him here.

BleedBlue87

I still think we're in great shape for an at-large if we avoid losing to bad A10 teams and pickup wins against STL, Richmond, and VCU. I don't think beating Dayton is a requirement. There's so much parity this year that everyone is losing games and as a whole not many outside the top 25 have tremen...

Sucks but it happens. Can't fault him if he wants more minutes. If I could play ball, I would too.

BleedBlue87

Future looks bright with a Toppin/Long combo.

BleedBlue87

Fordham lays another egg. Attendance was at 1500 but looked a whole lot less on tv. A10 needs to cut ties unless Fordham commits to the program.

BleedBlue87

I'm not sure when this changes, but when I was at URI, the student section circled over to the section behind the opposing teams bench. I think that is an excellent section for a student section.

BleedBlue87

I still don't understand the NET system that well. When do those updated rankings come out?

BleedBlue87

It was about this time last year when some folks on Twitter were saying Fatts wasn't a D1 caliber player. O how they were wrong.

I would also buy a Fatts t-shirt if they are for sale.

Anyone who thinks UCONN/PC is a rivalry is way off. Its about as big a rivalry as URI/UMass. People call it a rivalry sometimes, but people dont get hyped about it. UConn's rival is Syracuse. End of story.

BleedBlue87

Read the PC board...some there [including RJ of course] give us credit..... and then some others, especially Douche Friar [Darth] give us none. On paper that PC team should be better than what they are. They have a core group of highly-rated recruits. Cooley can't put it together. That being said. ...

BleedBlue87

Woke up this morning with unbelievable pain in my throat and no voice from all the cheering after that beautiful URI game! I sat behind the hoop opposite the student section. Watching Fatts go to work was incredible. There is so much he can do that you can't put on a stat sheet. He sets up the disru...

BleedBlue87

WV would have been a Q1 win. How many Q1 wins will we have OOC? Right now, none. Alabama likely won't be one, and maybe not PC either if we win that game. It's not the record that's most important, although it's a factor. It's "Who have you beaten" which applies to everyone. Winning the r...

Hate losing close ones but it's a long season and we have no bad losses. Anyone saying this season is over needs to relax. I still don't get why JD doesn't control the ball and distribute. Fatts is good at the point too but JD doesn't seem like a natural scorer the same way fatts is. JD does seem t...

Great first half! Let's keep it going!! Put your foot on their throats!!

BleedBlue87

and ECR, I'm not sure I can take another year of your spamming the board every time they take a shot and miss. Could you limit that please?

BleedBlue87

I'll never understand why we take as many 3s as we do. VCU is generally terrible from the 3 but they attack, attack, attack. I feel like we should be doing the same. I'm no coach but doing the same thing over and over again and failing is the very definition of insanity.

BleedBlue87

Decent first game but what I really liked was Toppin. The potential is there. I want to see more of him. Maryland is going to be tough but I think we will fight and hang in there.

low 30's? I'd take that for us.....even a 5% increase means a couple more a game, and a few more wins.

Sheppard would help.

Yeah I believe it is between 32-35% and I would be delighted with it.

BleedBlue87

Need to get this 3 point % up. I can't take another season of below average 3s.

I hate this thread. F them both.

I was an Accounting major. It seemed pretty conservative. As did my professors. I guess I was insulated. I was a Poli Sci/PR double major who took some business classes for the PR. The Poli Sci department had a clear liberal lean but the business school was just the opposite. The marketing professo...

Matt, we will be hoping for a full and speedy recovery! Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you or your family.

Things are looking bleak for me. My QB out on IR, Antonio Brown being Antonio Brown, Melvin Gordon still having a contract dispute... not a pretty site.

Need ONE more!

BleedBlue87

Ok we are coming down to the wire. I have 10 people in. I opened up the league for two more. Get in before tonight's draft by clicking here:

BleedBlue87

Running, I did and went him an invite. We have 11 people who want to play. I could use one more to even it out

BleedBlue87

Do we have any wrestlin' fans here? Are you watching AEW? Happy to see another promotion take on the WWE goliath. This Cody Rhodes v Shawn Spears is going to be the show stealer I think.

BleedBlue87

Ok, fixed the draft time. Didn't notice all times to select are pacific.

Tea, I sent you a message with the link. Let me know if your in. I think you are in the last spot.

If there is any interest, I can bump the leave to 12 spots if two more want to join. Just let me know.

Ha, that's a cool idea!

And yes, I can change the draft to 8:30 as long as no one objects.

BleedBlue87

Ok, so I sent a fresh batch of invites out. If we don't fill up by tonight, I will post the league invite here in the forum and folks can have at it. If interest surpasses the 10 spots, I think I can add in a few more.

BleedBlue87

O man, if there is anything we can do please let us know! We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

BleedBlue87

Ok, created the league. Same rules as last years league. We won't do the keeper this year since it's a fresh league. For the sake of just trying to make this easy, I set the draft for this coming Monday night at 8 PM. If this time doesn't work for those playing, message me, and if there is a consens...

BleedBlue87

If folks are still interested, I can set up a new league. Just leave a message here that your in. We don't have a whole lot of time to get something together. The draft would have to be this weekend or early next week.

DDC is a joke. I do think PC pays comparable rent to peers but they certainly got the better end of the deal. It is much cheaper for them to rent then to build their own stadium. Taxpayers will never recoup on their investment for the DDC improvements. Those DDC improvements were made with PC as the...

I know this is a crazy thought but sometimes two parties just don't mesh or develop chemistry through no fault of either side.

Hey, Red, Mading is a freshman. Walker is a transfer.

Umm Robinson, Iverson? We've had pretty good luck with the transfers Red.

Wait...whaaat? Did Cox really do that? Absolutely, unequivocally not..... That would be so uncharacteristic of Cox. He’s a true gentleman. What's funny is he isn't the one who heard it. It was supposedly his buddy and he decided to run with it and tweet it out to get VCU fans riled up.

I exchanged some messages with Mat (VCU insider @MatSheltonEide on Twitter) prior to this announcement and he nailed the final four. He says it’s about 75% URI with SMU in the running if he wants to give a big “fuck you” and play ECU twice in conference play. If VCU had an open scholarship he feels...

BleedBlue87

This is completely unrelated to the rest of the convo, but pencil me in for VCU in 2019-2020. I never thought I would find myself in the company of more obnoxious fans then the ones that frequent the dump but VCU fans are on the top of my douchebag fanbase list.

Character and academics. From 247sports: Sheppard missed all of this past season due to off-the-court issues, but he was a promising talent thanks to his ball-handling skills and shooting ability from the point guard position. Sheppard averaged 9.2 points and 3.5 assists per game as a freshman in 2...

I'm on the Saturday train as well. I couldn't make the weekdays happen with work this year.

It would be great if this investigation cleans up college ball and makes it more equitable but I think I have a better chance of winning the lottery.
