Happy to have him back, great veteran presence to have in the locker room and itās not at the cost of a scholly. Our green team is gonna be dangerous.

Yeah until the first time Bliss hits a freshman speed bump and Tony yanks him for Dante. Then come the pitchforks.

I just donāt see it honestly, we added Warley and Dai Dai for a reason. If Dante plays anything more than Chase Coleman minutes at the point then Iād be surprised.
Thereās a reason why he was politely pushed out in the first place.

This is so weird - I canāt imagine this is a good ācareerā move for him?
I assume there was a cost-benefit of a UVA degree vs middling options. Those same options, at worst, will probably be there next year with a degree in hand.

I think this is bad. Not just because heās my least favorite player in a while but because any minutes he gets instead of Bliss will annoy me, and Iām sure he wonāt get zero minutes.

Harris had ankle surgery after the season, probably didnāt help him on the transfer market. I donāt know what his options wereā¦randomly heard Albany was interested, so I guess thatās probably the level of schools that were interested. Itās messy academically for seniors transferring too. I suspect from his point of view coming back and finishing up his degree was just the clear way to go. I give him a lot of credit for doing in, most guys would let their ego get in the way.

Assuming NIL cover his tuition, getting a UVA degree and then maybe seeking some professional options overseas for a while before seeing what doors that UVA degree can open up might be one of the more sensible decisions made by a college basketball player in 2024 so far.

That and shooting 10.5% from 3 SMH, you might actually have to try to shoot that badly from 3. But regardless that is impressive of him.

If his true shooting ability is reflected by his second-year percentage at Georgetown (.275), then statisticians would estimate a 6% probability that Dante would make 2 out of 20 shots.
Dante has always been a positive force for the team. Him staying is like when we had/ have Chase Coleman.
I absolutely love that he is staying

If heās ok with playing as much as Chase Coleman, Iāll agree.

Hard to see him having much of a ācareerā as a basketball player. Heās an excellent student and will have a prestigious degree. Makes more sense than graduating from Albany just to get PT
