But it made a great impressionHow geriatric must you look if he offered to help you to the car like the grocery boy at the Piggly Wiggly?!
(No. I did not take him up on his offer. NO ONE touches my 5th and Federal!)
Cider Jim wrote:And RD's last name is misspelled multiple times.Pretty much. He took over after Dunton's first stint as HC. He was legendary Assistant Coach who could recruit, but he was a horrible HC. He signed a highly recruited 6'9 PF named Chip Richmond, who got here and couldn't stand him so he dropped out of school before the fall semester even started. If anyone else knows the actual story on why Richmond left, I'd like to hear it. That was the hearsay I was told moons ago. Hankinson was let go when LU liked to leave termination letters on the coach's desk without contacting them. I think they did the same to Karcher.
Is Hanky sort of the basketball version of Ken Karcher?

He and Antonio Burks, the highly rated point guard we also signed that year, did not qualify academically. Hanky knew when he signed them that it was unlikely either would ever play for us, but because of them we had the 25th rated recruiting class in the country that year. Burks went on to get his academic act together in JUCO before transferring to Memphis and ultimately playing 5 years in the NBA. Richmond, as far as I know, never played college basketball.Cider Jim wrote:And RD's last name is misspelled multiple times.Pretty much. He took over after Dunton's first stint as HC.

We were shocked he was “only” making $400k. But back to RMK, he deserves to be on pay level par with Buzz at the very least. I think VCU is overpaying but that’s a pretty good number to aim at. My only question rises from something I used to know a lot more about and that’s Title IX in relation to pay scales. Crazy I know but there were issusss in the past about how much LU could pay one or the other. I’m not sure if there have been any changes or interpretations of that but RMK deserves every dime and a lifetime contract
