Front court losses: Dunn, Minor, Groves
Gains: Robinson, Cofie ….
and a $500k paid Post???
Who says no?
Edit - never mind - Post has already played games in 5 seasons.
He played all of 21 minutes as freshman year. I wonder if he could get a hardship waiver?
Need more info:
Is Cofie good enough to pass the line as a player to contribute as a true 1st year?
Off+: iMac
Def+: Dunn
Lol this Villanova fan
“If we are going to play faster Eric Dixion needs to move on. I am fine with that but that means more scoring to replace and more bumps and bruises.”
Dixon do I have a school for you. One of the rare examples where our slower pace actually helps us 
Only issue is that he’s a center really. So you try to get Cade Tyson/Ven Lubin with him?
Universal law of fandom is to complain about not playing fast enough. Does anyone complain about playing too fast? Are VMI fans like “hey, we are turning it over on 21% of our possessions, maybe we should chill out a little?”
Trick question - VMI doesn’t have fans. Just little rats that they force to cheer.
My dream recruit is anyone who can make a free throw.
McKneely: Invited back. But you gotta be confident at the end of games.
Gertrude: Invited back.
Buchanan: Sure. Needs 20 lbs. Not sure if he should be the day 1 starter (COUGH ERIC DIXON COUGH).
Robinson: Yeah
Bliss: Excited for sure.
Taine: Welcome back as a solid bench piece.
Rohde and Dante: we thank you for your services here at UVA. I am so sorry the mutual fit just wasn’t there but we wish you well on your future endeavors. Here’s $70k to GTFO
Best pg available or high ceiling pg with past relationship (Foster or Dilione?)
Tyrell Ward
Ven Lubin
Eric Dixon
Tucker Anderson as a redshirt.
London Jemison as a reclass redshirt or play right away.
It’s kinda weird that the NIL news @palmtreehoo has me more excited than anything from that choke job can bring me down to.
Anyone who can hit free throws
My faith is in a guy named Palm Tree Hoo. Oh no. No offense @palmtreehoo
We need Lisan Al-Ghaib
70k and no garden leave. Hahahahha. Hilarious
Odell Hodge might be joining Mike Jones ODU staff, hence the matt Hodge to ODU smoke.
I am grateful that the NIL knowledge is helping one of us!!
Two points:
I am hopeful that UVA can do a better job of roster construction & retention with increased NIL investment in the players. One of the big concerns post the National Championship is that our roster construction seems off relative to how Tony wants to play. We need more long athletic players that can defend as well as make shots.
At the reception in Florida, Tony made reference to needing a sports psychologist to deal with the free throw issues (this was right after the Wake game). Unfortunately, the FT shooting issue was front and center in the ACC tournament. Under tournament pressure, we seem to wilt in the biggest moments and do not make good decisions (exclusive of 2019). This may be a recency bias for me but the Kihei pass at the end of the Furman game (McKneely also missed the front-end of a 1X1 late) and not fouling before NC State got the last shot off felt awfully familiar. We seem to be overly willing to rely on our defense in these situations. Hopefully Tony will be introspective here and get the team better prepared for these late game situations.
John Calipari has been doing a commercial with his team’s sports psychologist who I believe has UVA connections Bob Rotella.
But Tony also needs to address why players are always more tight here than our opponents.
Because Tony is more tight than the opposing coach? Been a thing as far back as the first Michigan State game. Glad to hear the talk about the players needing a sports psychologists but really they are feeding off the energy Tony puts off. He needs a find a way to relax. Might need a sports psychologist himself or at the very least some breathing exercises
Which ties into the Dan Hurley convo, his energy is huge
I just wish Tony would give his players more freedom. You can tell how tight the players are and it cost us bigtime
Rotella was a professor at UVA back in the ‘80’s. He now works with all kinds of big names. Rory brought him in for last year’s Masters.
