Just want it on the record that I knew from the jump. But also later convinced myself that this time was different just like everyone else
HGN said we had to beat Duke. Tough beat down for the good guys in recruiting. Letās just beat the motherfuckers on the court.
Screw Duke. Go Hoos!
The list growsā¦
Henry Coleman - never played ā Transfer
Trevor Keels - 1&Done
Caleb Foster - TBD
TJ Power - TBD
Kon Knueppel - TBD
Man, this choice and the way he handled it have skyrocketed the Con man close to the top of my most hated dookie list. He may be the first to accomplish that while still in high school.
If one of these 3 transferred to us after 1 year at Duke due to playing time, which would you be the most excited about?
Pass. Some stank just donāt wash off.
Between Mark Mitchell, TJ Power, Sean Stewart, Isaiah Evans, Cooper Flagg (letās be real), Iām surprised by the choice due to a crowded rosterā¦maybe some transfers and some pro jumps Iām not expecting (Mitchell) but just seems like a tough place to play right now with the backlog of talent in waiting.
On to the next one then!
Already hit you back (post directly above yours). We good.
Miserable, but good!
My bad. Totally missed it. Weāre indeed good.
Iām sure Scheyer told him he had his back or some shit like that. Somehow that works
TJ Powers is the closest to being redeemable on that list. Dude just got sucked in by the bright shiny object. Honestly think Duke offered him so we would not get him. TJ is not going to see a minute of meaningful playing time at Duke. But honestly Iām not sure he wouldnāt be lost on our bench as well. He seems like a guy who will transfer to UMass or Northeastern eventually.
No. You can pick any other shiny object or money bag you like and be redeemed. But not that one.
I imagine that, to Kneuppel, Virginiaās roster didnāt appear that much less crowded. Given Coach Bennettās tendency to keep true frosh on the bench until they have demonstrated a grasp of the defense, I donāt think he would have earned much early playing time. Kyle Guy and Ty Jerome certainly didnāt play much early, and I am not convinced that their competition for PT was as great as that Knueppel would encounter at UVa. I get it that his role, as a true frosh, wasnāt assured at Duke, but Iām donāt think it was a certainty at Virginia, either.
His pitch was even better than that:
āFifteen years ago I was a long wing, top 25 in my class. I chose Duke and that system took my talent to the Israeli professional league. Itās the NBA of the Middle East ā and it was awesome. Talented guys like us donāt need to be drafted by an NBA team or make a roster. Weāre Midwesterners, and I got your back, donchaknow?ā
I said closest to, not that he was in fact redeemable
Iām sure this has already been said but Iām 500 posts behind. Wish the best for the kid but I hope iMac locks the dude up and he barely scores against us. Like the number 1 pick in the 2022 draft, Paolo, who only scored in single digits twice in college and it was when Gardner was guarding himā¦
Guy got 19 mpg on a team that had 88 mpg returning from the previous season at the 1-3 spots ā pre-portal, pre-NIL.
We donāt know what weāll have returning at those spots next year.
