UofR having a very bad week. First, Qwan Fore, their scoring guard, announced last week, that he would take his fifth year of eligibility as a Grad Transfer at some other school, closer to his Alabama home.


Than, today, Richmond announced that Soph Guard Demonte Buckingham, has been removed from the basketball team for breaking "Athletic Dept. rules".
Buckingham scored about 12 points a game and was a solid defender for the Spiders.

With Trey Porter transferring from ODU a few weeks ago, it hasn't been a good offseason for them either. Several of our CAA member institutions have been hit with the transfer bug. I won't make any negative comments about any of the other programs since we just went through this ourselves last season. Just another reminder of how fortunate we were with the players we had that stayed last year and how well they played together. Another thanks to everyone who helped sponsor the offseason trip and for the hard work and dedication put in by the staff and each of the players. Now, just hoping for at least one solid inside player 6' 8" or above to help out Nathan inside next season. Not greedy though, it has been a fantastic recruiting effort by the Tribe this offseason. Eagerly awaiting the release of the nonconference schedule to include a pre-season or holiday tournament. I think UVA ends up being a November game.

I am also encouraged that UNCW has upgraded its nonconference schedule. Hopefully a few other CAA schools with follow as well. Now, for a brief focus on the spring football game......
