Chris Pollard introductory presser about to start. Should be streaming on ACCNX and virginiasports.com.
Part of me kinda hates how low key our administration has made this.
Just started on YouTube.
There’s a group of players in attendance. Didn’t get a long enough look to see who all it was.
Pollard just mentioned he had a conversation with Bryson Moore and his parents yesterday. Said he thought he was gonna get him to Duke out of HS.
Would be nice to get him out of the portal and back in the fold.
Presser just ended. Hard to be mad at anything Pollard said, very well spoken and passionate person. Also had the politician thumb point down pat lol.
It’s easy to see why he’s been such an effective recruiter, just seems to have the right message and approach to what he wants out of his players. Also mentioned that he thought yesterday was “The best day we’ve had so far” in terms of roster/portal building, so hopefully some more good news soon.
Felt like he was willing to go more than 30 minutes overall. Wish they didn’t enforce the hard cut off at 3:30. Seemed like Madia, Teel, and a few others were willing to keep the questions coming.
Yeah they easily could have went another 10-15 minutes if they wanted to.
Buchanan, Moore, Kampschror, Osinski, and Hanson were the holdovers I noticed in the room.
I didn’t recognize Luke because he got a haircut, but here’s a quick interview from Greg Madia:

Seems like he’s locked in to staying here.
He saw no time under Oak. Gotta believe he’s headed somewhere not named Starkville.
He was injured.
Self inflicted non baseball injury too.
Self inflicted might be a little unfair. Pickup hoops injury to be exact.
We had a self-inflicted hoops one, and he’s the only scholarship player who stayed!

Peep the shorts in this video! Went to look him up and saw this!
Where are all the Duke guys?
I know he’s going to the draft but Henry Ford seems to like every post about Pollard. He doesn’t seem like someone that’s headed to Tennessee if his stock falls.
Not in the know, but might it be because that is for “still available” guys and we’ve already grabbed up a bunch of the Duke guys? Not sure if any of them were highly rated enough to have made that list otherwise, of course.
I’m sure AJ Garcia would be up there
