Working to get over the day’s news by distraction, so yes I started a redundant thread. We’ll use this one for updates on KNOWN targets, not every pie in the sky guy the enters the portal. Only doing guards as the info on bigs has been really limited.
In no particular order:
Nigel Pack KSU - will be one of, if not the top guard in the portal. Seems to have several UVA connections, but long long line of suitors and seemingly set on playing pg puts my expectations pretty low. We DO play two pgs and HGN says the interest is mutual so I’ll hold onto the dream until told otherwise
Aidrian Delph App St - Interesting. Not yet in the portal and has declared for the draft. HGN has teased him several times and JWilly follows him. Pure bucket getter. At 6’3 would keep our lineup small but would imd make us better. Nothing on any 247 boards about him I could find. My top choice at the moment. Also candidate for the possible mystery visitor
Sean McNeil WVU - good shooter with solid handle, would fill imd need and be a great bridge for McNeely. Limited info out there since his announcement which I’d think is a good UVA sign. Seems like a good fit for what each is looking for. Recruited previously. My leader in the clubhouse for who we end up with
Dontaie Allen UK - highly ranked recruit that came in with rep as a shooter. Big guard. Didn’t show that early in the year when given opportunity and had issues on D. Not much PT as year went on, still high ceiling. HGN tells us we have some relationships with him. Info on him hard to come by since entering portal as well. Candidate #2 for mystery visitor
Will Richards Belmont - another big guard that had a solid freshman year. One of my early favorites but after early contact report nothing on us listed. Has visit set with UF. Ship probably already sailed
We know there is more contact that hasn’t been reported and we haven’t been connected to anyone new in the past few days, so hopefully more comes out soon or more movement with those listed above.
Will use this thread for updates (247 sites, social media, etc) on the guys listed above and any new guards we are linked with in the coming days
