If he teaches pre-K or Kindergarten, his name would be Mr. Mister

Where is Joseph Heller when we need him?

Ha! Such a good book - if he transferred in would they put him in charge of a school or would he take over as the Dean and Markel Families Menās Head Basketball Coach?

I get excited about him every year but I continue to really like Kenyon Giles (formerly at Radford, now at UNCG). Maybe he could be a Mallory replacement if he doesnāt end up at UVa.

Miami kid. sadly $EC bound if not Miami. 1.5 steals = wing defender too
Darren Harris will probably be looking to come back to the DMV and would be a target for whomever our coach is next season (and if Sanchez rebounds and does well to keep the job, Harris would be a solid McKneely successor next to Bliss and Gertrude at the 1-2-3 long term).

So just looking geographically, some former top 150 DMV freshmen that may be available in the portal
-Darren Harris (Duke)
-Isaiah Abraham (UConn)
-Malcolm Thomas (Villanova)
-Bryson Tucker (Indiana)
-Tyrell Ward (LSU) (not a freshman but taking a āmental healthā year and redshirting/looking to come back to the DMV)
Others may be more in tuned with the mid Major stars from the DMV looking to jump to Power 5 this off-season.
One I am also keeping an eye on is Solo Ball, a Virginia kid and point guard for UConn who may or may not be available if Hurley jumps to the NBA

Are there rumors about Hurley making the jump? I sort of assumed that turning down the Lakers meant he was content at the collegiate level, but maybe that was more about the Lakers.

Would go about like Saban in the NFL. But would probably be over with quicker.

Think the only barrier the last time was a chance at a three peat. No idea though
Hurley would make for a terrible NBA coach. NBA refs would have no patience for his antics and they donāt have qualms about throwing out coaches, unlike NCAA refs. Heās a decent enough Xās and Oās tactician. No idea how heād handle the personalities of grown men instead of college guys, but Iāll give him the benefit of the doubt that heād figure it out. The temper and the demonstrations at refs would really hamper him though.

Younger brother of Torrin Dorin of NC State fame. A little one dimensional at the moment but solid athlete and 3pt shooter

OKā¦
Was just at an Elon game - 15 minutes from my houseā¦ he looked good - physical frameā¦ but definitely relies on their Hilliardās to penetrate and get him opportunities on close outs.

People on the discord were joking about this one āGet this kid a life raft out of South Orangeā but he is a VA kid
DeShawn Harris Smith (Terps) another VA kid will be in the portal but it probably makes sense for him to go down to George Mason or American. Would rather try to keep Elijah Gertrude even with his double surgery.

Heās been injured right? Had draft buzz coming into this season but hasnāt done much, granted Tennessee hasnāt really needed him.
Iād 100% take him here.
Played 4 games and then got hurt.
Wonder if Bishop Boswell is another guy who will pop in the portal post-season.
