I’m actually surprised at how little the ignore feature is used. I get notifications if someone is ignored by more than 5 users. Only happened maybe 2 or 3 times.

As much of a proponent as I am for its use, there’s only like two or three people I have on ignore here. For the most part things are pretty tame tbh. Even this thread wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be in the aftermath of the game.

I’m over it already. The UMBC loss kept me depressed and indoors for a whole weekend. That team was by far the cream of the crop in 2018. This year’s team is a patchwork on the patchwork of last season’s team. Dedication and hard work can only take you so far.
I also don’t see why anyone, except possibly Shedrick and Taine, would transfer out. It is a good program with a great coach. What, Traudt will leave because he redshirted this season? That makes absolutely no sense! He already redshirted; he already did his time! Is he thinking, “yeah, I’m going to teach Tony a lesson for allowing me to redshirt!” Nope. He knows where he stands next season. He is probably more aware of the deficiencies in this year’s team than we are, having practiced against them; and is aware of the latent talent accompaning him on the bench.
I’d like to know why Shedrick spent so much time on the bench; but it is probably better that that info remains private.
Anyway, I hope you all are able to find peace soon. Good night.

It’s not an effective feature at all. You check into a thread and there are conversations going on between the Freds you ignore and posters that you don’t, and you end up getting lost and having to read the hidden replies (only to remember why you ignored the Fred in the first place). If you have a fairly high number of Freds ignored, any given thread can be totally incomprehensible.

Also, if you are a prayer, pray for Kihie tonight. He is a warrior but this is probably the worse night of his young life.

It’s funny to watch former players learn to become fans.
Part 1 - hey, why is everyone so pessimistic?
Part 2 - …
Part 3 - hello darkness my old friend…

Who selects which players join Tony for the postgame press conference? Considering how well Shedrick played, I was surprised he wasn’t up there.
Pretty sure it’s Tony. Maybe some Bach

Watched the highlights and all I can say is what the fuck? It is like everything we say this team has happen over and over again happened all at once in two minutes. Game decided by the 3 ball? Yep. Questionable reffing? Yep. Missing free throws, good God, the free throws issue has made me want to throw myself out of a window. Of course, to tie the bow, there’s a terrible Kihei play making me wonder how a singular player can make both the greatest and worst play possible in their time at UVA. At the end of the day, I cannot stand our tournament inconsistency. I don’t know who will transfer but it won’t be less than two. Something needs to change.
Ugh, I really don’t know what to think anymore.

Well I think the 3-4 players he offers he should have seen before. I mean there can’t only be *one player at each position that can fit our system in any 4 year period.

Well said. I really appreciate this.

I didn’t say he *didn’t want Taine- he wanted Keels and didn’t get him, TJ power, Jahvon Quinerly, “Funny story” and others whom he’s *waited on until they burned him. Meanwhile we practically beg him to offer other players, and then when we don’t, we get Stattman, Badocchi, Malachi and others who end up transferring.
But if a player pops up that he wants he’ll offer. Recruiting doesn’t work like how us fans think it does lol. They are always scouting and contacting multiple players.
Yes salty… he needs it big time…

I understand what you’re saying but if we didn’t get Reece then we may have gotten Caleb Love ( albeit more disciplined), if not iMac then it would have been another high level guard early….bottom line if there is no threat of someone taking your scholarship then you can wait it out as long as you want.
I believe in God and everything…even if it’s bad…happens for a reason…we may not know or realize the reason at this time…but rt now Kihei needs our support and prayers…not ridiculous attacks

Maybe it’s been refuted but I don’t think keels would have come here anyways. He wasn’t going to sit behind Kihei. And for some reason CTB didn’t recruit or at least challenge that position. HS players didn’t want I back up Kihei.

Oh yeah- I doubted Keels was coming, many of us on this board knew he was stalling or just was t that into us yet we waited…
not really a religious person but absolutely will send good vibes his way. As someone who has been more vocal than others about frustrations with the defense (again nothing Kihei can control/falls on staff for better roster construction to ease the burden on kihei) and also wanting more of a focus on Reece taking the reign, Kihei has been through a lot. A LOT. Just the normal social media chatter is bad but as competitive as he is he may be even harder on himself.
Everyone will talk about the pass and “How could Kihei do that?” but it was a team failure that lead to the 12 pt lead collapse.
Armaan and Jayden having no real presence the entire game. Reece going under 1 million screens for some reason that is still so strange to me. Dunn not bringing much offensively despite being a defensive beast.
