Has to be Mack?
I’m curious about Tulsa being in there for a DMV guy.
Frank Haith is coaching there I believe (last I checked). I have no idea if he recruited DMV at all when at Mizzou.
What does he mean by “I’m done”? That doesn’t sound like something a Tony Bennett player would say.
It’s a response to the WV Governor delaying the start of the HS sports seasons to March I believe.
Yeah, it’s just a figure of speech.
I have never seen Taylor play in person. Have you?
One of those quotes from anonymous coaches articles. Mostly predictable complaints about not seeing recruits and the transfer rule change, but some interesting points as well.
One ACC assistant told 247Sports, “Why would you ever recruit a project big man again? By the time that kid gets good, and all of the hard work is going to pay off, he will have already left your program. I just don’t see the value in it anymore with no redshirting and players being able to transfer without sitting out.”
Virginia: “I talked to their head coach last week and they did a player comparison on me and De’Andre Hunter because they think we are almost the same player and I thought that was really good. I could see how I could fit into their program so it was really good.”
“I wouldn’t say I am a fan of any college but one of my favorite colleges that I looked up to was Texas and Virginia,” he said. “I watched them on national tv since I was like 14.”
That’s a great quote about tv exposure. We’re starting to become a brand in these kids eyes
UVA had been eyeing Markus Ilver for a while but I don’t think there was ever going to be much opportunity for him to prove himself.
Classic Wisconsin recruit
I just read the Tipton articles. Before this season. I was excited about Justin Taylor. But this season has showed me how important versatility and ON court athleticism and mobility. I dont want a guy for 22 that is a GREAT shooter but ok ball handler at the 3 spot. I actually saw Justin this summer. He did well but he played like I thought he would. He is far from a stiff. I actually like Tyler Nickel and I LOVE Grady Dick. By the way. All players pay attention tu rankings. Not some or most but ALL. Now there are levels tu it but they ALL care about rankings. Thats why I liked Mckneely answer. He use it as fuel and motivation. Thats shows a DAWG is some where in that kid. LOL
UVA tell every 6’7 BLACK wing player he is DeAndre. Hopefully Trey make the NBA so we can use another name. LMAO
I have mix feelings about Devin Dinkins. I want tu see him play this yr. Im very familiar with Gonzaga HS.
That Scout article also point out what I believe UVA is doing. Looking for a talented transfer big instead of a HS big. Plus redshirting is going tu be rare for HS kids. If you can get an experienced college player. Why waste energy on a HS big. All of our fr big need time. Hopefully the transfer wont.
I mean I would hope we would compare them to someone who was an all American and the fourth pick in the NBA draft haha. Would be recruiting malpractice if we didn’t
The post was more about UVA knowing telling certain players they remind them of Dre. Is a recruiting advantage. Im saying as a joke. Hopefully they can mix it up and use Trey as a NBA wing reference. HA
Gotta credit @JoeBoxley for noticing this.
UVA picked up a 4th Rivals FutureCast for McKneely a few days ago, from a Kentucky/Louisville writer. Timing is interesting, the day before Oscar Tshiebwe announced for UK. Maybe a tidbit passed along in conversations with Wildcats Select folks.
Why is it impossible to paste in a gif? Ruined my night
