Is basically Niagara Falls, I think
Today Im going to find out if my local sports bar will take one of the tvs playing Houston Baylor and switch it to the central arkansas game so I can watch Tucker Anderson. (my back up is the Cuse game, heading over. Wish me luck)
Carry on soldier

LMFAO the commentators on Tucker Anderson āI know you want to keep him at Central Arkansas butYou gotta feel the portal watchers and power 5 programs are all over this kid.ā
(watching on my phone. chickened out)
edit: also just realized the game is only on espn+ so chickening out would have saved myself from embarrassment anyways (they use cox cable not internet streams).
Also man central arkansas is so atrocious, itās actually even more impressive heās standing out in that environment. Would be a 45% from 3 guy here at UVA with the scheme for him
Tell me if Iām correct or not on NCAA rules as of today, Feb. 24, 2024:
NIL was supposed to be something like a local restaurant wanting a UVa basketball player to do a series of TV commercials, and in return, they would pay him/her for being in the ad and telling everyone how they eat there every week and they should also.
NIL wasnāt supposed to be a ācollective,ā where alums put a large amount of money together, and give it to a UVa basketball player so that heāll come back the next season instead of trying the NBA or overseas. NIL isnāt even involved in that, because at the time, you couldnāt just give a player a lot of money to stay in school and say, "Well, falls under the category of NIL,ā because it doesnāt, right?
Now, the NCAA suddenly loses a huge decision in court, and I think some colleges are confused as to whether it means you can just approach any college basketball player, even if heās not on the portal, and say, āHereās $500,000 if youāll transfer to Slippery Rock and stay for three years.ā Although thatās against NCAA rules, the court is saying that the NCAA is powerless to enforce it , which means that the rule(s) may exist, but theyāre a joke? ![]()
If thatās the case, then Tony Bennettās 5 pillars are as much up-to-date as playing basketball using peach baskets, and heās never going to agree to what the courts just said that NCAA schools HAVE to agree to, and I assume this is his last year
as a college coach. Remember he once said that heād like to try coaching in the NBA some day?!
Itās kind of tragic, but the law is the law! I think Jim Boeheim was trying to ease the transition by Tony and for UVa fans, by telling us that the good old days are gone.
Remember back before the season when Jim Boeheim said that the Virginia Cavaliers menās basketball teamās talent āisnāt anywhere near where itās been,ā and that āNIL is a problem ,ā for Tony Bennett.
Virginia Techās defense sure was a nightmare for us, and they barely seemed to notice UVaās defense.
Yaxel vs Sion James on ESPN2.
Either Tulaneās home court atmosphere is horrid or thereās something off with the arena mics.
Yaxel is good though.
Sooo I see multiple NBA draft accounts talking about Yaxel⦠completely forgot about the possibility that he is just balling out and could just go straight pro⦠maybe there is another JUCO all american 6-9 40% 3pt shooter who also averages a double double with rebounds out there.
(why the hell would he transfer here where in our pace and usage he would average 4pt and 2 rebounds
)
Hah that and his team plays zone
DONT JOKE LIKE THAT lol (they played some zone but Yaxel locks up one on one)
still firmly on the āwe need 2 wing forward portal additionsā train. Need a bucket getter and a 3pt specialist.
Gimme one of Yaxel, Jaemyn Brakefield, or Maliq Brown (and bank on Buchanan being the bucket getter with Maliq) and one of Cade Tyson, TJ Power, or Tucker Anderson.
Pls not Terrance Williams. It would be solid IF Buchanan takes the next step and Cofie/Robinson are also ready to contribute
(2 minute mark Tucker Anderson gets an elevator screen)
From last yearās inseason tranfer portal wishlist⦠if only I knew
(also man he really chose wrong. It wasnāt a fit on both sides Rohde coming here)
Why didnāt he just commit here when he had the chance instead of following the glitz and allure of Duke? The real question is if he had come to Charlottesville, would he still be here?
Others have already mentioned this kid but Trilly just dropped that he heard most of the GW roster is gonna be portaling.
Beat cancer too. 6-8 freshman from Oakton VA hitting 40% from 3. Throw him in the TJ Power/Tucker Anderson/Cade Tyson group of young floor spacing stretch 4s who can play the 3 some.
If we only add one forward, probably doesnāt make sense (maybe Cade but thats it). But if we add two, one of them has to be one of the four above (and we should probably add 2, since none of Cofie Buchanan or Robinson are 3pt specialists and we also dont have a solid high ceiling jumbo wing shooter which this addition would also fill)
You lost me at Revolutionaries. Hahaha. What a wack name
