Post on the Richmond message board:
"Looks like a good hire. Hardt can go back to his nap now, wake up next March and call Nathan."
At this point, I don't see what the big attraction would be to hire ND. Yes, he has done well on the coaching side - winning thanks to five great players recruited by Dave Paulsen and staff. But thus far, he has yet to hit a home run with a recruiting class. Until he ups his game on that side, I don't see a big reason why an A-10 team would be going crazy to hire him.
Agree. Needs to win a few years with his recruits. Plus it’s not like he turned around a program like Roussel. Not saying he hasn’t been a good coach, just has not earned the big jump for most schools that would consider him. That said, I’m guessing his name has been at least mentioned by some.

I would hope than Jeanine Radice or Brittany Pinkney get serious consideration for the position. Both understand and have helped build the current (winning) culture.

I could see Jeanine getting serious consideration, having been a D1 coach for 27 years, including at least 10 as the associate head coach at Delaware. She was also a great player at Fordham. Brittany has six years as a #3 assistant, so I don't see her as being ready for this level of job at this point.

Article on Roussell's move, from the Daily Item:
https://www.dailyitem.com/sports/roussell-heade d-t...
I knew how much his family liked the Lewisburg community, which I had hoped would persuade him to stay at Bucknell for a long time. But I see in this article that a big factor in his decision was that Molly (his wife) had lived for a number of years in Richmond prior to their marriage, so that area was attractive. Also a good place to raise kids - like Lewisburg.

I know Brittany is going to Richmond with Aaron. Big couple of months for her. She is getting married in May, and I am sure this move is received well with her husband who currently lives in the DC area.

Thanks for that info. It makes sense given that she played her college ball in Richmond and that Molly Roussell was on the VCU staff when she was a player.

Oh, now we have some expressed issues! Stupid Old Bison! If you’re not ahead of the curve you’re behind it. Richmond’s endowment is impressive vis-a-vis our own but maybe if we were a little more forward looking athletically—- donors would be more forward giving!
Has anybody seen the F4 special on Nova’s Championship in ‘85 where Jay Wright says “Rollie Massimino took a small Catholic school and made it a National institution in one yearâ€

Taylor O'Brien finished 3rd in the high jump yesterday at the Bison Outdoor Classic, jumping 5'5-1/4". Quite impressive on minimal training.

Yes, very impressive. A few items of note:
1. She finished 3rd in a field of 31 that included a lot of D1 programs.
2. Her mark yesterday places her 6th on the all-time Bucknell list.
3. As a junior in HS, she cleared 5-8 in States, which is better than any Bison ever.
