šŸ€ Outside UVA Recruiting 2023-24

I also wonder (in this hypothetical that has yet to happen but I will gladly entertain) if Kon backs out that he waits until the spring to commit/look at how we use Rohde, if Gard gets canned or not, the Marquette Roster situation, etc. etc.

We have one open right now. The only one threatening it is if Mallory or Jemison take it and reclass.

If this does end up being true and he decommits, it would draw into question why Kon chose Dook in the first place if competition within his own class was going to be an issue. Hasnā€™t Edgecombe been a Dook lean for months?

Probably difficult for him and his camp to make a read on that kinda stuff, but still.

McCain not being a one and done. At the time of his commitment McCain was coming off a really good summer at camps and the vibe was that he would be gone next summer. Apparently he has hitten a wall (not as impressive to be a one and done)

A Kon decommitment has so much comedic potential Iā€™m so here for it

Maybe TJ Power will take all of Konā€™s mins next year.

Foster, Power, Flagg

Any word on Kon?

Suffering can come in multiple waves.

Orā€¦ can we be happy for once? lol (Jk never taking Gertrude Buchanan Cofie Bliss and the 2022s for granted).

Wonder what happens with Sharma IF (big if) Kon both becomes available and comes here. Does he instantly ask for his release or try to stick it out? In reality weā€™ll never know cause this is all hypothetical. Heā€™s 100% sticking with Duke

If part of his UVA ā€˜issueā€™ was comp at his position and he decommits from Duke because of comp at his position, then this is all irrelevant as heā€™d go to Marquette.

lol yeah. He would have to be unafraid of the competition here and also hope Rohde is our 1 next season. The Gertrude Bond Bliss Rohde McKneely hurdle is still thereā€¦ unless we go 4 guard.

Lmao. This is hysterical.

Itā€™s all good, this string of posts will all be forgotten in a bout 5 hrs after Gertrude A) doesnā€™t play or B) plays and scores 10.

Doubt any of this very hypothetical scenario, weā€™re talking rumors here, would happen until spring anyway, when circumstances will be differentā€¦changing rosters everywhere etc. Different ballgame than the first time. Wouldnā€™t take it for granted that UVA would be in the mix.

Interesting. In this hypothetical scenario, would we be possibly be out because we got Sharma, or do you think the last minute NIL and no contact before the announcement burned the bridge?? Maybe both?

Dont think Sharma would matter. They were still full pursuit for Keels with Taine on board.

Think itā€™s roster related to Rohde Gertrude Bond McKneely Bliss. Versus an opportunity elsewhere that provides more guaranteed minutes. Marquette would start him at the one no doubt (I remember HGN mentioning that #pointkon was a part of Marquetteā€™s pitch and apparently Kon spent most of his Marquette visit with Tyler Kolek)

Forgot about that. Was curious if us not getting involved again would be a logistics type thing or a sour grapes type thingā€¦ or maybe both

I havenā€™t followed closely but just considering where things were when we quit back in the springā€¦this is one of the strangest recruitments I can remember in a drama free sort of way.

I forgot about this and just sort of figured heā€™d committed to Purdue or maybe Michigan while I wasnā€™t paying attention.

Cincinnati or Alabama. Unless Chris Beard at Ole Miss dropped a big bag.

My guess is Cincinatti. But no idea. Comments seem heavy Cincinatti too but their fanbase in a different breed on twitter

Any suffering over Kon from here on out is solely on the sufferer.

Fuck that guy.
