You are uva fans who have lived and loved the Tony era. Why in thisâŚ.the year of our lord, 2025, are we still having pace arguments? You are smarter than this.
Pace doesnât matter. Efficiency does. Be fast. Be slow. Whatever. Please above all be efficient in a way that translates to beating Duke and Carolina.
Pace and style are not the same thing. I am captain of the pace doesnât matter team. We won with a slow pace but an aggressive style. The last five years weâve not won so much with a slow pace and a passive style. Houston and and uconn look nothing like us on offense no matter what the metrics say on paper.
Why? Tony isnât tied to those days and Odom beat him badly.
I disagree.
Thatâs preposterous, but I digress!
Amplify my ignorance please
Who are the 5 stars/McD AA that UVA has ever rostered?
Ralph and his crew
'92 fab five
Deutshe
Guy
Is there more?
âŚhe didnât say WHO the long-term deal was with.
Makes you think.
lol - you serious?
Robinson would score 10 a game right now under the right coach.
2-3 lob dunks a game and 2-3 putbacks or drop offs by guards who can actually beat their man to the cup
Jeff Lamp. Tom Sheehey
Thatâs a cop out ⌠we literally have no idea if we need to operate at a talent deficit at Virginia because we havenât tried yet in the new environment. And word is, we will have plenty of money⌠We just need a coach that is willing to lead with money and not fuss about the fact that players are asking about it.
And stop going after guys who canât jump and are slow in the portal.
Jimmy Miller just below a 5 Star. Wally Walker.
So it seems like 2 - 3 player of this caliber or less per decade?
Majestic Mapp
Wait how did I miss Ryan Odom and Orlando Vandross being assistants together at Charlotte. Was Vandross an assistant in the one year Odom was interim head coach?
Would definitely be someone retained (which would keep Gertrude and Robinson)
" âOrlando Vandross (director of recruiting/player development) is one of my best friends,â Odom said."
Sylven Landesberg was a McD AA.
Diakite was a 5 star in 247âs rankings.
Yeah everybody used to say that, but their secondary break was a thing of beauty, and won them some rings. They practiced that a LOT
Yeah, they were both there 2011-2015 (last one was when Major got sick and Odom took over)
Youâre slipping, man.
I have a feeling itâs gonna be Pitino, âcus of nothing more than Pitino is a national basketball brand. And I donât hate it.
So I know UNC will always be sexier and they do recruit better, but I think weâve had just as much talent as them the last decade or so, and thatâs with Tonyâs peccadillos. If we tap into the DMV effectively, there is more than enough talent to field a really high level roster. Odom should be in great shape to do that honestly.
