I should try to save chatter for the chatter thread, but yeah, I agree. We have mostly unknowns on this team, so that’s certainly possible. The known is:
Reece will start
The unknowns start with:
But at what position?
And end with:
literally everything else
Tip it off, already! (or Tony, at the very least, can you please selectively leak some stuff?)
Other ACC teams send 3. 50-50 split between 2 and 3, from what I could see.
Also, on the scrimmage, others have pointed out that Dauster got some nuggets for his UConn podcast last year. Some speculated they came from our staff, but I’m not sure. Tbh, I’d still guess it’s from the UConn side. Show dropped on Wed. last week. Hopefully he gets something this year, too.
It’s very impressive there hasn’t been a peep on one UVA players performance.
I am gonna fix that. If we did indeed score in the 70s our leading scorers were Reece, Rohde and Groves. We hit 12 3s. Offense was surprisingly ahead of defensive. There you have it.
Gonna be tough for Gertrude to exceed expectations. Pretty sure we’ll be able to pencil him in for 0.0 mpg/ppg/apg/rpg etc once the redshirt is announced.
And I was the one hyping him before the blue white scrimmage (and also talking about my loathing of the Groves addition even though I understood it in the context of our roster).
Just did not come away impressed with him/seems like it lines up with HGN talking about him struggling with the packline and @Cuts_from_The_Corner hearing he was used sparingly. Also to @SaberMetrics observation from the scrimmage that there was no effort to work in Minor with Reece or the rest of the starters
I don’t ever remember hearing much in the way of details about these secret scrimmages. Except a couple times when the box scores got passed around. That reminds me…if anybody would care to share the box score with me, that would be lovely.
Okay. So, Dauster’s pod just dropped, which mentions the “not-so-secret scrimmage” between UVA and UConn. But, his take was, “The scores don’t matter; coaches are just trying to figure shit out by testing lineups and trying different things. I am not going to get into specifics because it’s really not helpful and we should just look at the big picture.” Sounds to me like he doesn’t really know anything because he went on to say the takeaways from the scrimmage are baked into the cake of what he shared about a practice he attended.
Nothing we haven’t figured out on our own. Sounds like it is pretty secret to me.
I mean honestly, is this what accounts for reporting these days? "Hey thanks for subscribing guys, remember what I said last month? Yeah just repeat that to yourselves and make up your own stats ”.
