I am trying so hard to manifest him as a Brogdon-type in '25.

He is such a Jay Wright Villanova combo guard lmao. Gonna be a very good college player.

Caught tony smiling and remarking after Jordan Smith on PVI bullied his way to the rim. 6’3 guard 2026. Like top 40 kid already. Dawg in every sense. Very intense player

lol nah. two groups. Ones we want who go to Duke. Ones we don’t want.

I like how most everyone has left and gone home… except for Tony and Williford behind the basket probably questioning their life decisions.

My summary of the games (personal opinion on fit)

Adrien Stevens :chart_with_upwards_trend:

Acaden Lewis :chart_with_downwards_trend:

Derek Dixon :chart_with_upwards_trend:

(also @Hooandtrue dream recruit Sadiq White :chart_with_downwards_trend: good stats but not really that impressive or skilled. And not as ā€œdawgā€ as I would like. Nowhere near Jemison for wing 1 spot. Selfishly want a 2nd wing but think we can still do better here too with culture fit and also ceiling/potential)

The real question @HoozGotNext is when is KJ Cochran getting his offer? Kid’s been balling out for like 3 months straight now.

2025 is pure torture for @Hooandtrue. No room for his buffet of recruits. 2026 is the reload year…start prepping!

Jemison to 2024

Sharma redshirted to 2025

One of Jackson Keith or Adrien Stevens

KJ Cochran redshirted to 2026
Big man and/or second wing yet to be named redshirted to 2026

boom

Probably as well as Groves or Hauser. Definitely not recruiting him because of his defensive prowess lol.

Adrien Stevens social media activity is literally only UVA and Marquette. Seems promising if we push/close to home factor.

Ball handling scorers

Chance Mallory: Probably
Jalen Reese: Probably not
Acaden Lewis: meh needs to show more consistency with his shot

Big guards:

Jackson Keith: maybe
Adrien Stevens: maybe to probably if we push
Derek Dixon: idk. Overlaps with Sharma and usually not the profile of a kid who cares about UVA but his sister goes to UVA and staff spent the entire weekend watching him.

Wings
London Jemison: yes unless UConn offers before we close
Bryston Tiller: not happening
Jalen Indiana kid: not happening
Niko still dont know his last name: not happening probably UCLA or Michigan State
Cam Ward: Maryland Villanova and FSU suck. So maybe?
Nik Khamenia: Maybe. We usually get the west coast kids we want. Do we want is the question.

Centers
Las Vegas bald dude: super religious but not happening.

Kids on the radar

Pg KJ Cochran: will kill it at Penn State
That Brewster wing tony went to go watch a few days ago: not happening
That wisconsin center Will Garlock: probably won’t get offered and ends up either at VT or some random B1G school
Akuentok the sudanese center on Sharma’s team: Handlers involved? but also tbd if we offer.
The other kids on our radar: exist but idc enough during the regular season to look into them all that much
Sadiq White: more like a top 75 kid than a top 25 kid. If he truly is bought into development like he said that could be cool but there’s just something missing that makes me hesitant. Also not happening

His handle looked a bit ā€œloose… like Reece would be licking his chops to get switched on him at the perimeter…to either poke it out or laugh at him as he quickly passed it around the horn so as to not get it stolen… which means we like him to run around screens and shoot…

It would be so funny if after the years of tiny backcourt complaints, we rolled out a Bliss/Stevens/Getrude backcourt. Guards under 6’4ā€ need not apply

I predict we get a commitment from none of the players in your report.
