About this listen
Episode 28 of Spiders Sound Off brings a packed show featuring an in-depth conversation with Jim Merritt, Associate Athletics Director for Basketball Development. Tom and Porter dig into Richmond’s brand-new Men’s and Women’s Basketball Student-Athlete Development Funds, how revenue sharing will work, and what this all means for recruiting, retention, and the long-term health of Spider basketball. Jim breaks down donor benefits, the shift away from the old collective structure, and how alumni events around road games are becoming big engagement wins.
Then the guys preview a massive weekend:– The women at Liberty, a rebounding machine with size, shooting, and a turnover problem the Spiders MUST exploit.– A deep dive on Southern Illinois for the men: tough interior play, low three-point usage, and two giant Aligbe brothers waiting in the paint.
