Because we acknowledge that we have a lot to work to do and that this season wasn’t perfect?

It’s kinda wild no one even brought much up today and then people were like “UVA fans are entitled and spoiled for being frustrated about the last few seasons”.

Wonder if Deshawn Harris-Smith is long for that roster? I assume adding Gillespie, Rice, and Miguel puts him on the bench…

They have to - next year Willard would be on the hot seat - not that they have the $$ to buy out his contract.

I hear you but also putting on the floor a unwatchable product especially in the Ncaa tournament who them themselves constructed in front of the nation the last five years. You can’t blame the fans totally for voicing what they see as a poor roster as for chemistry on the floor, no shooters . Also a stubbornness to change,believe it or not some of your vocal fans who get alot of heat for there opions are starting to be right about pace of play and roster makeup was going to hunt us . Also reaching for recruits that not Acc talent, our staff need less yes men and more hey what we doing in sone areas are not working coach…its hard to hear the truth from peoole who truly care then from people who see a fire starting but continue to tell you everything ok they just overreacting.

This is hilarious to me. Not really that they are just that teams aren’t paying them day after title game so they can all get to work haha

I think being frustrated is reasonable. I am frustrated as well.

Tweeting at Joshua Jefferson, a top 40 player in the portal at a spot that is a huge need for us and is staff’s top target, that he is a bum is just pretty fucking stupid lol. To the point where that recruit then subtweets about it is a really poor look. That’s no longer the constructive criticism that we (for the most part) engage on here. And given our other options if that somehow sets us back then that really hurt the program.

I also think we need to take a step back a little. Again frustration is valid (again Im very much in the frustrated camp) but a lot of the Twitter idiot takes Ive seen is far from the “truth”.

I think there is a middle ground. The national title doesn’t excuse the last 5 years. But also UVA Twitter fans are the literal scum of the earth LOL

Wait, people actually did that?

Are we sure that happened? If anything, they we’re criticizing our style rather than him as a player.

On the rivals article yeah one sec (just a few from past Joshua jefferson UVA tweets that he saw)

Making a huge assumption this is about UVA.

Can’t argue with that.

I’d also love a team of good players willing to wait their turn. I’m just not convinced we can get veteran transfers worth taking their minutes.

Transfer points aren’t taking our calls, Jefferson is off listening to other pitches, Maliq is going to Duke.

These have been our bandaids: Gardner, Franklin, BVP, Harris, Rohde, Minor

If we can get much better than ^, I’m in. Otherwise, I want a full rebuild with the kids.
