Be careful. Arguing against stats to stat people is more or less like talking about politics and/or religion.
It really gets out of hand on baseball message boards.

Its fun to argue stats with people that know what they are talking about though. Baseball is the ultimate stat driven game because its 1v1. Everything is much more stat friendly now, if you read message boards around 2006 and the anti stats people talking about how OBP and SLG were meaningless..........it was fun!
I used to love explaining to people how meaningless batting average is.

RE: Michael Hueitt Jr. to transfer from ODU
We are only blocking VCU now, lol
I wonder if this has anything to do with the UR players that are leaving/rumored to have interest here...

Could the NCAA have quietly told ODU that their blacklist was too broad? Because 27 teams does seem like an awful lot. What was it, CUSA and every school in Virginia?

I don't know where the 27 number came from. CUSA schools, W&M, Richmond, JMU, and VCU was the original list I believe.

Im surprised its not at least all CUSA schools plus VCU. That would make sense.

That'd be 17, so maybe a typo on the tweeter's part?

RE: Michael Hueitt Jr. to transfer from ODU
Glad to see they hate VCU so much. Would be nicer if they would just do something else about it like winning more often against them.
Basketball wise, he'd fit in well at Marshall and W & M. Just park him in one of the corners and hit him with the pass for the open 3 point shot if his man leaves him to double.

RE: Michael Hueitt Jr. to transfer from ODU
I don’t think transfers should be prohibited from any schools. He is a kid - shouldn’t limit his options/opportunities. Let him play for feces if he wants to.

I disagree. He is free to transfer to any school he wants to study at. He just cant play ball at the blocked schools. There has to be some consequence to signing with a school, receiving all of the benefits and privileges that come with that and then bailing on them. If that means blocking a few schools I don't have an issue with it. If they really need to play for a blocked school they can always sit out two years and do it instead of one.
If a player goes to an inter conference rival or team that will be played the next season, that players inside knowledge of the plays, player tendencies, strengths weaknesses, coaches tendencies etc would be an unfair advantage.

RE: Michael Hueitt Jr. to transfer from ODU
Somehow, I can't see VCU wanting an offensive stalwart who couldn't play at ODU because he wouldn't/couldn't play defense good enough to get playing time -- probably a waste of a block.

I was thinking about posting this same idea. If he ain’t good enough to sniff the floor for us I doubt he plays at VCU.

RE: Michael Hueitt Jr. to transfer from ODU
Hueitt would have likely played for us next year. And we also aren't talking about last years version of him, by the time he transfers, it may be the 2019/2020 version of him.

RE: Michael Hueitt Jr. to transfer from ODU
Given how the season went, he should have played for us THIS year.
(20-20 hindsight, I know. But I'm a fan. I'm allowed to do that.)

Hueitt was recruited by VCU out of high school. They would love to have him.

I appreciate your point of view. However, I’m sure he was told he is looking at only a handful of minutes next year at best (given our roster and his position). So what athletic benefits is he receiving from us next year? I think if he has the talent to play more minutes for another team, then more power to him. Let him have the opportunity and not control him like a commodity.

He actually seems like a great fit for them.

I’m sure he’ll be a stud wherever he ends up because he’ll have a real coach.
