You think Neptune is a decent coach?
Let’s see. His first year he had 3 starters back from a Final Four team. Cam Whitmore an all world one and done freshman. Missed the tournament.
Year 2 they got TJ Bamba, Tyler Burton, Hakim Hart in the portal. On top of Dixon, Moore, Longino, Armstrong, Hausen. Missed the tournament.
Year 3 he’s got the nations leading scorer Dixon, a likely NBA player in Poplar, a 5th year Longino and a 5th year Brickus. Oldest starting lineup in the nation. All seniors. Missed the tournament.
You think he was a good coach? I assure you he was not. This is why he lost his job - it happened in Year 2. There was no way on Gods green earth that roster should’ve missed the dance. The reverberations of that cost him Andrew Carr and Max Shulga in the portal. Instead he ended up with Boakye and Kris Parker after VCU stole Shulga back at the end of portal season. Losing Shulga cost him his job. If he doesn’t fail in Year 2 he ends up with at least Carr and probably Shulga too. And would’ve gotten an extension. Instead he got fired bc he failed in Year 2 when he had a roster that was too good to fail.
