I like their coach, Mike Jones, who was an assistance during VCU's Final Four run in 2011. He's a class act and will always very respected in my books. He not only makes good basketball players, but he makes great all around young men. Character is his #1 concern along with academics just like his fellow former assistance and current VCU head coach, Will Wade. Radford as an University though? I won't comment because like you HR6, I really don't have much use for the school, having gone there for a semester. That's just my opinion with no shade being thrown at anyone. Holland will be in great hands with Coach Jones and should play right away.
Holland may have been able to choose a better school but at least he is not going to Liberty.
Lol I love it!! You're correct, Radford has an outstanding education program and business program (though VCU's is better
lol ) but I guess it's just the haterade I'm sipping on cause Raddy is the best party destination lol..Glad our basketball team spanked y'all this year lol on a real note, I think RU should have gotten a bid to the NIT. Beat Georgetown, Penn State, UNCW, Asheville (twice) and gave my VCU Rams a good scare. All love here!Per Groucho Marx, I can not respect a school that would accept me as a student...which they did way back in the 80's
. Thank goodness the Thundering Herd was just as bad!JMU had a nice squad this year. I wish them and VCU would play each other.
But when you have a growing black student population and constantly preaching "diversity" and then goes as far as making a black man your school president, then why bring in something that totally undermines all of that in the eyes of students? Trump can go where he wants, hell go to Dublin or one of the surrounding areas, but that wasn't a good look for Radford. One of the reasons I left Radford was because of the lack of diversity and the racial tension between the black and white students. It's REAL.... I'm sure I'll get reported on this board for being off topic but *shrugs*...
I just read this and let me say that I attended a Trump Rally when he came to Richmond International Raceway last semester. I agree with you 200% on institutions needing to hear diverse opinions and you won't find another 22 year old black man who understands and agrees with the above statements in which you made more than I do. With me knowing probably around 35% of the student body at RU (including 90% of the black student body), my reactions to this was based a lot on them and also myself for reasons that are not appropriate for this "sports" board.
I missed the memo.. Nobody dissed any school. Congrats to Holland. I think everyone on this thread is very happy for him.
Is that exactly what I said about their athletic department? I recall praising their basketball coach and talking about the overall university (not the athletic department) because I went there 4 semester's ago, I know more people there than I know at my current school, and I keep up the current events happening at the institution.. Nothing of what I said is dissing the school, just stuff that I know for sure, with no speculation. Have a good day and I hope Holland does well for himself.
VCU, JMU, University of Henrico, Tech, UVA and Liberty are all GREAT schools also. Radford is too if you're not in the wrong crowds but honestly that's anywhere Raddy has the best education program in VA and nursing. I'd prefer VCU's med school over WhoVA's tho
and our baseball team beat the Cavs both times this year! 6 straight trips to the NCAA basketball tournament also lol...Go Rams!!Lol!!! VCU didn't offer him. VCU has a top 30 recruiting class this year/ top 12 class when Shaka was here. VCU goes for players that fits their system. Defensive minded, polished athletes..This kid needs a lot of work as I said in previous threads. I wish him nothing but the best but let's be reasonable.
What's wrong with my alma mater - James Madison University? I'm not made at you - HR6! LOL!
I was speaking on your quote in which you stated he would be happier at RU than VCU. A chance to go to the NBA, NCAA's every year, national exposure and spotlight year in and year out, and arguably one of the biggest college basketball fan bases (80+ consecutive sellout also) .. Let's be reasonable. If VCU would have offered him I bet you all of my scholarship money that he would have committed that moment. UVA, Tech, and VCU has walk-ons every year that could very well play mid-major ball but they pass that up to get the national exposure.
