Re: Coastal Carolina transfer Josh Uduje to announce tomorrow

Could be off here, but doesn’t VU now have only 2 openings? I’d likely pass on Uduje. Not the most efficient option. Went 1-12 against Mizzou early last season (did go 5-6 at the FT line, but honestly think Stack could do better; also think the last 2 spots should go to bigs). We have 3 openings no...

Re: Is there a time limit...

We added Ansong very late last summer or early fall. It was actually right when the team went overseas. Unfortunately we might have to wait out the summer until we know our complete roster.

Re: Ze’Rik Onyema

His Twitter profile indicates he’s from Nigeria. I don’t think the state of texas will be a deciding factor. I don’t like to look at previous stats all that much. Stackhouse is a proven developer.

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal

Honestly, there is no difference in these athletes and everyone else in their generation. They want a job where they can work from home, start at $75 an hour, play with the cat and watch some tv during work hours. If someone pushes back, they quit and sit at home collecting their unemployment until...

Take a look at the Colorado football program. More than 40 players have entered the portal since Deion Sanders took over a few months ago.

Re: I Absolutely Hate the Transfer Portal and the NIL

I predicted when NIL money was first allowed that VU had to get busy with it or get leveled in the SEC. At the time, I was worrying more about it's impact on football than basketball, which we now know is not the case. It all seems to boil down to one fact: additional upfront cash is more valuable ...

Re: Vandy in the mix for Campbell transfer Anthony Dell'Orso

Huh? I don't know what you are talking about, but I was concerned about how many point guards we had on the roster, two of whom were in the 6' range. PG's can only play at PG or at a taller position - there is nowhere down to go. Wings OTOH can play at the 2 guard spot or can play at (and reasonabl...

Re: Vandy in the mix for Campbell transfer Anthony Dell'Orso

I find it funny a year ago we were getting annoyed with all the 6’2-6’4 guards. We’re basically adding the same positions but with a few extra inches in height. Huh?

Re: Vandy in the mix for Campbell transfer Anthony Dell'Orso

I will point out that 6’6” is arguably the perfect basketball height… think of the Chicago Bulls teams that started 4 6’6” guys and a center for multiple championships (Rodman, Harper, Jordan, Pippen, plus whoever)… I’m being a little tongue-in-cheek, but it really is the size that conceivably give...

Re: QMB in the transfer portal

I know nothing about engineering but I googled Penn state engineer and it’s ranked very high. Their petroleum engineering program area is rated as one of the very best. Doesn’t QMB want to do something with renewable energy? I believe I have read that.
