Where is Bobby Gonzalez when you need him…

Can you imagine that guy on the trail with a couple of mil in his back pocket?

Bliss/Trent Perry as London/Devon Hall 2.0 would be amazing. You know what to do, Andy Enfield

You fuckers need to stop getting my hopes up about Trent Perry again. I swear to god I’ll relapse so quickly if he decommits.

It’s amazing how this stuff works. Someone just said his name. Then suddenly 8 people think we’re getting him. We’re not getting him. I don’t even know who he is but it’s not happening. We’re getting some guy named jimbob or cooter or something. Invest your emotional capital in that. Big gainz ahead.

If Perry canceled his visit after Bliss committed originally, why would he be interested given that Bliss is still here and even has a year on him of familiarity in the program?

Or for those of us over 40, not to be confused with that nut in the house on the hill.

Shrug he slides up two notches on the call sheet with Beeks and Harris heading out. All I got…

Rohde and Dante were here at the time. Dante probably gone (no UVA stuff in his bio) and Rohde did not pan out. Plus Bliss maybe not being ready, pitching multiple ball handlers, and our pay is now average I guess.

I know Dante is a likely transfer out but fwiw, he hasn’t had anything UVA related on his IG bio in a long time (maybe ever)

For elite players or even good role players, the portal is a way to maximize financial and playing opportunities. Has it become a more acceptable way for teams to push players out as well? I know scholarships were always one year deals, but it feels more rampant now. Do the numbers support that?

Not just bio, no pictures from his time at UVA.

It’s a little hard to operationalize. The NCAA used to release reports that tried to categorize transfers by destination, but that was pre-portal. They do share data on total number of transfers and what division transfers end up in, but that’s probably not fine grained enough to answer your question.

Thanks for this. I will sift through it later. The NCAA probably isn’t keen to demonstrate how colleges are benefiting at the expense of student athletes regardless, but maybe with the right filters it shows up.

It’s so beautiful. that quick release. And you say he sucks shooting off the dribble? Well do I have a coach with an offensive philosophy that could use you

That guy’s got ā€œKadin Softā€ written all over his face.

LMAO when I first started following I literally thought ā€œhe kinda looks like Kadinā€. He’s a jumbo win you pair with DUDES in the front court and DAWGS at the 1-2 spots.

Being brutally honest if we used one of potentially two transfer schollies on Anderson I’d be incredibly disappointed lol. Maybe if we had like four spots available you add him as a stretch 4 who can come off the bench, but this dude needs a TON of development in order to play against ACC frontcourts.

Oh yeah he’s a redshirt kid in my mind.

That’s why you cut the fat and blow up the roster with Bliss McKneely Gertrude Robinson Buchanan as the only returners.
