Richmond is expected to start two fifth-year seniors and two sixth-year seniors along with a burgeoning prospect in Tyler Burton.
Spiders should be the Atlantic 10's top challenger to St. Bonaventure.
As I've said before, grow up and get a job. Who do they think they are, John Belushi?

Not going to lie, this looks like a Paulsen schedule that we squeezed a game at Georgia into. First disappointment of the English era for me given his earlier comments about scheduling. Understand it’s hard to put this together on short notice, so it’s not gonna bother me too much in year 1 because I’m going in with 0 expectations but if it looks like this again in year 2 some tiny alarm bells are going to start to ring.

Before everyone freaks out about the schedule (assuming what was listed is accurate), remember there are contracts in place that predate KE and that last season didnt allow for some of those contracts to be fulfilled. As tblack33 said, if the 2022-2023 schedule is more of the same, lets get concerned then.
And we need to play well this coming season so we'll have opponents wanting us on their '22-'23 schedule. We've not done anything for a decade to have teams want us on their schedule.

The home schedule sucks, but overall pretty solid.
Will make plans for that Friday night at JMU game. That should be hype.

I had the same original thoughts but like @Five Two said, some of these contracts predate Kim, and Mason has to show value to get some decent teams on the schedule.
That said, if this is the "floor" of Kim's scheduling coming off a pandemic and coaching change, I'm fine with it. They'll need to get a home and home to replace 1-2 of the buy games especially to protect against JMU and ODU if those programs aren't that good. I want Mason to play them obviously, but they can't be RPI/SOS suckers either if the end goal is to have an OOC of good quality.

Not the most exciting home schedule obviously, but if i'm looking for silver linings, it's the type of schedule that should allow KE to successfully implement a new mentality and style of play with a relatively new starting line up without getting our butts thoroughly kicked in the process. Having to learn while simultaneously being thrown into the deep end of the talent pool might create additional challenges. So... baby steps....

Didn't they say this last year too and they collapsed at the end. U of R will find some way to under perform yet again.
Golden has to be 50 by now
Not a bad schedule at all. Several P5 games, a few cupcakes to get the team used to winning and we get to have another hilarious JMU thread!
It's WAY too early and I have done no research on anyone yet but I'll venture to guess 10-3 OOC. With all the Portal transfers I could be spot on or way the hell off.
