I can never laugh at that pic because one of my senior HS picks looks basically the exact same minus the fanny pack

I’m not going mock anyone wearing a mock turtleneck in high school. I was wearing a leisure suit in my senior photo. (Maybe I should post this in the Old Farts thread?)

I’ll take a look to see if I have it here at the house if I do I’ll post. I know there’s a few at Mama Dragon’s place may have to get her to send them when she gets back.
I’ll post what I got in the Old Farts Thread

What current UVa player hoops do we have to look forward to until next November? Taine doing anything FIBA related? Anyone playing in Kenner (or too early to know) ? Anything else?

Awesome. Is he on that, or you just guessing?

Fair enough, hope he at least gets an invite to the camp (whenever it is). 6 months is a long time!
Get everyone to CVille in June and play some old school pick up with Ty and Dre etc. Kyle has a camp down there too. Hopefully Devon London etc all be back

They announced the U19 women’s camp a couple of days ago, and they play in July as well, so the men’s camp announcement must be coming soon.

Yup, saw that when I googled, too. The nice thing about recruiting so many international guys for a while is we got a nice mid-summer check-in (with FIBA, etc.).
I guess I’ll have to be satisfied with NBA playoffs, and then my favorite NBA product – the summer league, for a couple months. Plus some janky AAU streams.

We’ll also get the snazzy edit instagram “summer work” videos soon which we can spend a few weeks analyzing

Good start, but I’d go further and ban secondary defenders from drawing charges. I want the rules to incentivize contesting shots rather than falling over.

I respectively disagree with all this charge taking slander. haha The way the game is going with all the ball screen/iso play the last thing I want is to give players more reason to barrel into the paint. Hard enough to defend already.

Fair enough. I think it would have to come with some pretty aggressive enforcement of offensive player push offs, I still want to reward the primary defender for beating their guy to the spot. To put it another way, I want a similar number of charges, but I want them to happen in a different way that’s a little safer and looks more like good defense.
Tackling moving screens would be another knob they could twist to find a good offense-defense balance.
