I was sharing somewhere else that I got in a game with him at the AFC once and he’d come out from time to time.

He didn’t dominate that group as you’d expect. If only Sean and JR had a front-court to play with them…

I’m gonna limit myself to players from when I lived in Charlottesville and could go to most home games, and further limit myself to players whose names I most enjoyed yelling when something great happened; 3-way tie: Jamal!!! Mel!!! Olden!!!

Rock Mitchell. He was one of the camp counselors summer of 92 when I went to Jeff Jones camp. Fond memories of the students in UHall chanting his name at the end of a game before he came in a got a bucket in garbage time. The godfather of the Grant Kersey/Thomas Rogers lineage.

Somewhat more seriously, Ty Jerome slight edge over Harold Deane.

Great shout out to Rock though!

I was always a big fan of Maurice Watkins. He was also one of the smartest dudes I’ve ever met.

As a former member of the Assemblage of Cain, if we’re picking players because of staches, gotta go with Jason.

Was next door neighbors with TJ Bannister and JR Reynolds my first year, but Singletary was my favorite during my time there.

TB era is Brogdon for me.

There was a small window in HS where i was loving Todd Billett and his last minute heroics, felt like he had like 3-4 game winners and saved Gillen’s job one year

Huge Jason Cain fan here, but in terms of staches you’re basically choosing the stache of an extra from the pilot episode of breaking bad over the stache of internationally renowned magnum PI, so I gotta say you’re riding the wrong mustache on this one.

The walk-on talk made me think of Josh Hare. Scrappy dude. Got minutes on the same team that Harbour did.

Hare was actually a D-1 caliber player. (No shade at Harbour)

Wasn’t Calvin Baker originally a walk-on here — after having been a scholly player at W&M?

He’s my favorite pg in UVA history.

Ralph. Three-time national player of the year. So much fun to watch him dominate.
