ROFL.
Lol dont know how Georgetown fans feels about this.
I remember last name there wasnāt as much mutual interest. He looked solid against us as a freshman when he was at Illinois.
I imagine 30% from 3 on two seasons wont be exciting for a lot of UVA fans lol but heās a baller though.
edit: it might be a troll

No thanks, avg like 4 ppg
Javon McCollum to GTā¦solid get. Real nice backcourt for them now
Acaden Lewisā dad
Sorry @DFresh11 but Im also putting in the @Hooandtrue crystal ball for Acaden to Georgetown. Heās boys with all the Georgetown commits + Kenny Johnson being hired soon + just where UVA is vibes wise (a lot of work to do to overcome that LOL and so far coaching/roster decisions not reflecting that but still a lot of time left/not worrying about it yet)
(to be fair, UVA twitter is the worst sometimes LOL)

Now that the Mack thing is over Iāll be straight with my opinion. I was semi rooting for it just because it would have been a ārecruiting winā on paper that would have satisfied many fans and made the next few weeks easier for me.
Otherwise, I was completely against bringing him in. if he were a grad transfer, Iād be all for it. But I think itās probably 50/50 he would be better than Bliss next year, and the odds tilt to Bliss in the years after. Heās just a gamble. If he didnāt pan out, youāre stuck with him for the next 3 clears clogging up the roster.
Also the tattoo really was a deal breaker for me. Old fashioned I guess but I donāt want a player with a plainly visible tat of a former hated rival. Just no freaking way. I canāt believe so many Hoo fans were okay with that.

Yeah we shouldnāt consider ourself favored in any recruiting battle at this point. Vibes are horrific around this program

Yeah and for me (not sour grapes, I voted for Trent Perry in the poll I posted in VIP thread) the fit was really weird LOL. Like if we completely changed the offense I could see it working really well. But I have that @BillyHoyle fear ingrained that 1) we arenāt going to change too drastically offensively and 2) we are going to play one of the forwards we get at center.
And because of that I liked Perry cause heās really good at the things Tony has defaulted too in the past. (also why Im hoping we flip the script and go back in on Maliq since I still have concerns of Buchanan/Robinson being ready).
That being said Malik was someone staff tried really hard to get on grounds so it sucks they couldnāt pull it off even if he was Georgetown bound anyways.
Onto the next one

Fact that we were willing to āplay the NIL gameā more with Mack is a good sign. Thatās my main takeaway from his whole 5 day recruitment.

I could not be happier heās not coming. He saved the staff from themselves. Also Iāve enjoyed the meltdown rollercoaster between shots at the masters. The masters and uva recruiting sucking ass, two traditions unlike any other that just so happen to overlap on the calendar.

I think a big reason most are so on-edge about PG recruiting is the unknown of Bliss.
Hasnāt been a lot of info this year on his progress, but if heās capable of giving us what Mack would have with a higher future ceiling, that would make things much less critical.

I mean to some extent on Bliss, sure, but Iām mainly concerned about PG because the presumed starter went 2/20 from three last year.

Maybe Iām being extremely naive, but I have to believe TB can see thatās not our best option, even if we add no one else.
