Comforting to know: Amodio is apparently backing off any intended pursuit of our guy: There is a lot of promises being made,lots of money being talked about,maybe the lawyers on both sides We've waited 40 years ...what's a couple hours or even a day.... THis may be the last chance to get something right while being in the A10. If that means dotting i's and crossing t's, thats fine. Just get it done! And like some mentioned above, open up the ticket office for season ticket sales. Top VCU coaching candidates per one writer (spoiler alert does not include the King). Let's bring the King to his Court to meet his Dukes! Top VCU coaching candidates per one writer (spoiler alert does not include the King). Let's bring the King to his Court to meet his Dukes! Did you mean to say that the article does include King Rice? Cause he's the 4th name listed Is Rice the one who played for Binghamton High School? yes, and then UNC Tar Heels. Gary Parrish says VCU is in "advanced talks" with Mike Rhoades of Rice. Fortunate for us, as VCU continues to go back to Shaka assistants and keep the "HAVOC" brand intact. Last edited by Brian (3/21/2017 12:09 pm) VCU lost and hired a coach in like 18 hours. Insane! Don't worry, be happy. Cant care any less about VCU if we get our new King! Last edited by townsonkid (3/21/2017 12:44 pm) I feel like I'm going mentally insane. I refresh Twitter every chance I get and check this board more often than I like to admit. I just want the news to break that Rice is signed, sealed, and delivered. For all we know, everything could be done and they just aren't going to tell the public until Friday or something. VCU will not hire King Rice, they have too many former assistants that have become good head coaches. Side note on Will Wade, at his first two head coaching spots, none of his recruits contributed to his success, he won with previous coaches players. Thus, to throw money at him like LSU did is insane, he may not be able to recruit. If King Rice is stalling, time to move to next candidate, Henderson, Becker Crean, M Rice or who ever it may be. Get a hungry, excitable coach that is chomping at the bit to tackle this building project. Top VCU coaching candidates per one writer (spoiler alert does not include the King).

There were small issues with the buyout at Monmouth, but is looks to be a done deal now. I pray that they aren't going to wait until Friday. I can barely wait another day. I think that the word comes soon as everybody is in their car coming home from work.Oh the suspense I think that the word comes soon as everybody is in their car coming home from work.Oh the suspense What? You think it will be announced this evening?? Is that anything more than a guess? Last edited by Duques102 (3/21/2017 1:40 pm) From my understanding, everything is signed and completed.

At this point I'll take any positive news, iffy source or not. The fact that nothing has been announced kinda makes me feel the same as when I'm watching Ferry coach with a 10+ point lead in the second half. Just praying it doesn't slip away. Here's hoping this is the first proof that that feeling is gone for good Jeff Goodman Last edited by CLK (3/21/2017 2:21 pm) Jeff Goodman Interesting. I thought they wanted the guy from Florida Gulf Coast.

UMass has hired Winthrop coach Pat Kelsey, sources told ESPN. Heck of a move by athletic director Ryan Bamford.
