Not all of them. Relvao and Grayer can't be added until classes start tomorrow because they didn't sign LOIs.

 

[Vurbel]

Funny, four years ago I was convinced #4 would be hanging from the rafters because our highest ranked recruit was in town. Was I wrong and then some on that one.

Very smart of those two. NEVER sign a LOI. Tell the school you will be there. Period.

Relvao signed a LOI with Valparaiso, so he could not sign another one with Mason.

I'm certain these two will both be suited up for the Patriots this year. No doubt. Sure thing. Slam dunk....

 

[p8triotfan4life]

I believe there were almost 700 transfers from DI schools last year. The days of redshirting are almost over

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

I frequently treated the Ring of Champions at the Richmond Coliseum as my own personal urinal. Whew! That feels better to get that out.

[liem.le.3388]

So anyone have any inside info as to why Relvao isn't on the site roster?

Wow, Jalen is up to 245 lbs. Looks like Marko and Shevon also gained 10 or so pounds. Strength training must be a focus this offseason.

Amazing what happens when you have a coach who's smart enough to play to his players' strengths instead of repeatedly jamming a square peg into a round hole.

Paulsen obviously recognizes that Jalen needs the bulk because he's at his best right around the basket, not dribbling the ball at the top of the key.

I'm guessing it means DP wants to run a slower tempo on both sides as well.

Everything I've read suggests he runs a deliberate offense predicated on taking care of the ball (imagine that) and a conservative defense that favors cutting down on penetration and contesting shots over forcing turnovers.

Personally, both of those are music to my ears.

I like up tempo offense when you have good enough talent to knock down wide-open shots in transition, but teams at our level are almost always going to be better playing at a more moderate pace, pounding the ball into the paint and staying compact on defense to avoid getting blown by for layups over and over again.

 

[A.-Siegfried]

I'm waiting to see who might redshirt...someone is going to redshirt...I can sense it....

 

[gmutom]

This is exactly why I loved the Hewitt hire and remained a loyal disciple up until last year. I honestly thought he was going to bring in a bunch of stud athletes and run on offense and pressure full court on defense. We never saw either. As much as I hate watching slowed-paced games, I'll take that any day over chaos and a lack of fundamentals. If it worked for Coach L, here's hoping it also works for Coach Dave.
