šŸ€ In-Season Recruiting 2023-24

STAB was my High School’s (Rock Hill) rival. Played them every year in Basketball and Football. Frank Quayle coached STAB’s football team all 4 years I played against them.

While I imagine every recruitment is unique in its way, so this one might be different, history suggests that Virginia doesn’t fare well in those that linger. In no way I am implying that the staff ā€œmove onā€ from this one. I am saying that my expectations of success diminish rapidly after the holidays. Also, I would be quite happy to be wrong. Again.

No one is saying you are wrong about the recruitment lingering meaning he won’t come to UVa. Just your timeline of what lingering means is off. He’s not going to commit before the New Year. Kids and staffs have other priorities this time of year. The beginning of live periods in the spring is when you should be looking for a decision if he’s coming to UVA

That took me back. Put up 30 on Miller in 1976 ( no 3 point line) in the same gym. Humble brag I know but when you’re 65 you’re just glad to remember itšŸ˜Ž

I think that’s true if we’re pushing for an extended period of time. That isn’t the case here. We’ll be pushing once the season ends.

I’d love to be wrong, but experience has implanted certain degree of skepticism in my thinking, and it is a bit reluctant to leave.

@HoozGotNext can Sanderson Jr reclass from 2026 to 2025?

edit: so scanning the Michigan 247 board, like 95% of their fans prefer Sanderson to stay over Juwan. Didn’t realize Sanderson was there for Beilein too. Also a few of them talked about wanting the Jr in 2026 lol. Not really positive vibes for Howard in Ann Arbor

Wonder if the Hoos could get a guy that could score like this?

0 rebounds. 5 assists but 6 turnovers. Yuck. ODU maybe.

(I bet Tony sees a lot of himself in Chance Mallory in a way)

But 5 steals and a block made up for the turnovers?
Tony and Hank G combined for 30/38 from the field… crazy

Number 23 Johnson, Ben would never let his son play for that ball hog!

Bo Kimble was hurt for that game.
The following year he scored more points in a season than all but 3 other guys and the most after 1970…still the most since 1970.
Pistol Pete did it 3 times and one of those seasons (1968) Elvin Hayes did it too.
The other one was Frank Selvy in 1954.
And Boā€s shooting splits??? He took the fewest shots by far of any of the 4.
He shot:
55% from 2
46% from 3
86% from FT line

But did he have the proverbial green light?
