Thatās a dawg - lefty too. Heard the blue bloods are sniffing around, so not sure even if we are in on him this early that the UKs, Arkansas, etc. and their $$$ will not swoop in and grab him. Now Iām depressed - we will never egt another recruit. I need WFS to cheer me up.

If you turn the volume all the way up you can hear his parents scream āshoot it every time Colton!ā āsteal it from your own teammate Colton, heās not passing it back!ā and āColton, you didnāt look for the camera after you inbounded it to yourself, drove the length of the court, launched that 30 footer and pushed that opponent thatās 3x your sizeā¦how will we ever make you a star if you donāt work for it too?ā

So, are you hoping we can redshirt him for 8 years?
Lol. On a more serious note

I hate these kinds of videos. All it does is eventually create mental health problems for the kids who probably wonāt live up to the hype created for them at 10 years old once puberty hits lol. I can assure you at least half of the eventual 5 stars in this kidās class havent even started playing basketball yet.

Ive read in two recruit interviews (Bobi Klintman and I want to say Tyrel Ward but could be wrong on the second one) who have said their dads didnāt even let them shoot 3s as kids because they would develop bad habits and weird shooting motions that would be hard to undo. Of course there are kids shooting at that age who turned out more than fine, but an interesting philosophy nonetheless.

Even Steph had to rework his shot as a teenager to undo his launch form from little

Absolutely 100 percent agree. Let kids be kids, and just let them have fun playing games.
As for the mechanics, Iām a baseball guy, but even I can see that heās going to have to fix that shot as he gets bigger and stronger. Some kids will be able to do it, others wonāt. But still more will decide the like something else better. And thatās totally fine.

Since itās the dead period and thereās no actual recruiting news I donāt feel guilty posting this (someone who maybe still on our radar/maybe Tony watches him one more time when he goes to an underarmour event to watch Blake Buchanan).
Best on Defense
6-5 PG Silas Demary, Jr., Combine Academy
Silas Demary, Jr. is a winner; in this NIL age, you can go ahead and print the t-shirts. Even in an all-star type setting, Demary, Jr. takes defense seriously. If an opposing player scored two in a row, he would demand to switch on to them. Demary, Jr. has a physical frame with great anticipation and a want-to. That is what makes him a winner; what bleeds through his various teams is Demary, Jr.ās willingness to do the tough guy stuff.
Demary, Jr. also went three for four from beyond the arc in this game and finished with 18 points. He handled the ball, touched the paint, and made plays. Demary, Jr. has lost five games total over the last two high school seasons and two travel ball seasons on the UAA circuit. He has won a state championship and a UAA championship in those two calendar years.
Recruitment: Plans to set visits with VCU, St. Johnās, Loyola-Chicago, and Providence.

I know we joke about Wisconsin and North Carolina having a heavier presence on our roster than Virginia kids, but can we talk about how Talented Wisconsin basketball is?
I was looking for Jordan Poole clips on instagram (cause I think heās the best pro comparison to Freddie Dilione) and noticed that Poole has 800k followers but only follows like around 300 people, one of whom is Reece. I
was like whatās the connection there and soon I realized the Golden State Warriors start 2 players from Wisconsin (Poole and Kevon Looney). How the hell did Wisconsin become a basketball state?

Whatever it is, Im okay if like 10 out of the 13 players on our team are from Wisconsin or North Carolina.
Save one spot for a Northeast kid, one spot for a west coast kid, and one spot for a native african immigrant bouncy 6ā9 Mamadi bigs who plays at one of the Boarding schools here in Virginia who we can claim as a āVirginia Nativeā to tickle the part of the fan base looking for a hometown hero.

Oh yeah most segregated city in the country right? Brogdon hated it there and wanted out apparently (part of why the āMilwaukee slipped up not keeping Brogdonā takes I see donāt make sense. Also wanted to be pg which Milwaukee couldnāt promise).
