Well, well, well...Nick Sherod coming back for another year to give it a go.

 

[paulxu]

That's good news! Sure wish Francis had stayed around also.

 

[AlienAiden]

Uh Oh! The Spiders and the Bonnies are loaded with experience. Who will have a greater senior heavy team?

 

[PYBonnie05]

Richmond.

 

[Bona84]

Yes. The Spiders are definitely the pre-season favorites.

 

[paulxu]

Indeed. We are co-co-co pre-season champs.

Following the Duquesne roster method:

The 2021-22 Spiders are expected to be one of the most experienced and cohesive teams in Division I. Richmond is slated to return 15 of its 16 players from 2020-21, including four 1,000-point scorers who chose to stay at Richmond for their extra year of eligibility from COVID-19: Nathan Cayo, Jacob Gilyard, Grant Golden, and Nick Sherod.

Not exactly, it said returning 15 of 16 seniors not replacing 15 of 16 underclassmen...

Spiders will visit Wofford here in Sparkle City this year.
Saves me some gas $, but creates some angst in the rooting department.
Will be nice to see them play in person though, and hoping for a good season with the returning seniors.

Bucknell @Richmond on Dec. 22. Also the following season. Spiders @Bison in the 23-24 season.

 

[SFspidur]

Bucknell is nothing to write home about these days, unfortunately.

Schedule is shaping up decently though. Maryland and either Louisville or Mississippi St. in the Bahamas, NC State in Charlotte. Spiders will also face Utah State on 11/12 at Navy in a doubleheader with Navy/Va Tech.

Hosting decent programs with ODU, Toledo, and Georgia State, plus a "rivalry" matchup with W&M. Traveling to UNI and Wofford so far. Couple more games still TBA.

 

[Bona84]

Wooh hooh! A trip to the metropolis of Lewisburg!

 

[paulxu]

Any road trip is a good trip. When they come here, I'll take them to our 3rd Base...Ike's.
We believe in bacon.

JR missed that game...
Jon Rothstein on Twitter: "Richmond's 21-22 non-conference schedule: At Drake At Northern Iowa NC State (Charlotte) Utah State (Veterans Classic) Maryland (Bahamas) Mississippi State/Louisville (Bahamas) Spiders will be one of the oldest teams in college basketball next season." / Twitter

Hmmm...wonder if the game got pulled?

Is it bad that no social media or recruiting services noticed this?

Although it did get quietly added to the scholarship tree here.

I see the Spiders will host Bucknell this year. The Bison will be terrible this year. You'll have a solid chance to even up the all-time series.

Except the game is on 12/22…

That is the date when the players may holiday plans…during the game.
