The way we struggled to shoot last year makes me think McCorkle will play and play significant minutes if he can defend.
I’m confident Hauser will fill the shooting void too
I was a stattmann defender since day one but those minutes and usage came out of necessity rather than preference. He has a lot to improve on to crack through with the talent we will have but he does have experience in our system working in his favor for the time being. I swear to god if we see any hesitation on open 3s…
I agree, Big Ben, but when we won the Natty we had lots of shooters. We can’t have too many guys who can knock down the trifecta. (Dick Vitale voice.)
I’m sure that Hauser is going to be a big force but the more good shooters we got the harder we are to defend. And then Kehei goes off!!
Excellent post!
Three-Man-Weave preview of UVA’s upcoming season for those interested:
As best I can tell the basketball roster at VirginiaSports.com has been recently updated with new heights and weights, and pics of the new guys.
Of note, Jabri is a sturdy 6-7 and 214 pounds, Murphy is listed at 6-9, and both Hauser and McKoy are down about seven pounds from last year. Beekman and McCorkle both listed at 6-3.
Kadin still seems a bit light at being under 220 as Jabri is 4 inches shorter and at 214. Carson is a good size at 184 lbs already and Reece at 174 isnt bad either.
I’m thinking that Carson isn’t going to Redshirt…atleast I hope not!
I thought Carson looked pretty solid in the softball photos. If he can defend, he’s got big upside. Strong hair game too. ![]()
The biggest surprise to me was Austin Katstra – 6’6" 245. That’s Larry Johnson or Corliss Williamson height/weight. That’s got to be a misprint, right???
Heard that Reece is really impressing early on. Sounds like his court presence is real and really knows how to play. Does need to get stronger and add some weight of course but he will…
Pretty good article if you ignore the authors minutes projections. Says Shedrick is developing nicely and may fuck around and be an All American.
What have they been feeding Katstra? Beefy.
Woldetensae has the best hair in their official UVA website picture.
gotta give credit where credit due
Stattmann missed six of the 30 games, with most of the misses coming earlier in the season. In retrospect, I think this set him back more than we realized. He still started 10 games, which is something few predicted, IIRC.
left me hangin?
Realized a bit of personal info was in that ha. But I follow some Louisiana beat writers and they raved about Reece for exactly those reasons. Just has that innate feel and control you love to see in a point guard.
Duke be tryin…thank god for the hoos fans in the comments
@DFresh11 any other early nuggets from practice that you are hearing?
