Lol! This reminds me of that viral tweet about Dell Curry.
Have never wanted to see a recruit face plant so bad in my life. Call me a hater. Or better yet letâs bets.

My goodness.
It is funny how your mind thinks back to minor things. Gmisnki did one of our games and watched the team practice. Raved about Bond during the broadcast, but I donât remember if he said anything about Traudt. He may have but I just remember he was super high on Bond.
I will be interested to see how Traudt develops. I am very much in the we screwed up camp, but to play devilâs advocate in favor of the Tony is infallible camp, I donât regret a single transfer out in Tonyâs entire tenure that I can recall off the top of my head. If Traudt is good he would be the first.*
*Morsell doesnât count for me. I think he is a very clear case of a guy needing a different system to thrive and Tony plainly remains on great terms with the family.

Send this to every recruit. The school you will eventually transfer too will appreciate your development while at UVA

Thatâs basically what we done. He spent a year at one of the best universities in the country. Worked out every day with the team improving his game. He had Mike Curtis working with him so heâs ready to play now. He spent a year here getting the best of everything for free. UVA got him ready to play and we got nothing for all that time and money

A nice change to the no-sit transfer rule would be: If (1) thereâs no coaching change or (2) you havenât earned a degree and you transfer, you pay back your scholarship money. If you canât pay it back, you sit out a year.

In that case, they just need to give you a little more NIL to cover that fine

At least the school that gets screwed gets something out of it. Perfect for mid-majors that develop these kids.
Guess you could add a third â family or personal medical emergency. Blue balls wouldnât count.

I think scholarships are already on a one-year basis; of course they get renewed in most situations when players stay, but the school can pull the scholarship after any given year. I donât think requiring repayment makes sense for that reason.

Why was my comment deleted? Stating a fact of what the pinned comment on Traudtâs IG post is is not an attack on dudeâs character. Itâs stating a fact, and now the subsequent replies donât make sense. @Spencer
Yes, this is the key question ⌠is there something about our system that takes bigs 3+ years to master it. We then have the quintessential impossible problem. Top recruits wonât wait to learn a system. CTB âdesiresâ that you redshirt / wait until you master the system. Something has to give. You need a system that bigs can play must sooner ⌠or you need to pay them Bacot money to stay here and wait (still tough to do). Imagine if we had a system where guards had to wait until their 1000 game to master the system. How many guards could we keep.
Something has to give. It seems to me we need an easier to master system for two reasons: 1) to give younger bigs a chance to play, and 2) to give a team that is increasingly being made up of transfers a chance to become proficient faster.
Or â we pony up and start handcuffing kids with ridiculous money. Something has to give.

Yeah I think day one for our big men in our system Really holds them back⌠The guys here who were taller than 6â9 in TBs 12 years really havenât worked outâŚMike Tobey? Kadin? Papi?.. Jack Salt, Huff and Mamadi were the only ones and it wasnât until their 4th yearâŚNOT Good.
I was busy for two days and then all of the transfers occur, which seems to happen every year for me. This is rough but frankly I am not too concerned. Without Traudt it will be rougher but if IMac keeps developing and he has and if he has even a couple supporting transfers and/or Taine, he is going to be DEADLY. The hope is that if Shedrick does leave completely, Blake Buchanan gets more playing time and gets someone to support him as well (yes I am FULLY hyped about Blake Buchanan and yes I am partially bias but seeing his interviews has me convinced he will fit well at UVA personally and his play is chefâs kiss for this program). Next year will be rougher though, I do not doubt it. However, I always reflect and look at how CTB is relatively young when it comes to experience compared to many great coaches. He is reaching the point in a few years, like with Jay Wright, where a few adjustments are going to lead to a lot of success. I have hope for this group, especially McKneely and Buchanan. At the end of the day, however, despite my hope for the future always being high during the offseason, it generally does not work out. I am keeping my hopes more restrained this time, this next season may be rough.

When you frame it with âDude reallyâŚâ itâs obvious youâre trying to be negative about it
