🏀 PORTAL SEASON (UVa Offseason) 2026

If TDR stays Grünloh stays. I think Carrere absolutely stays too, and I also think we’re underestimating the steps he could take next season.

Should be preseason Top 15 at a minimum if those guys + Lewis all come back and Odom has more to spend (but I’m biased)

It would be nice to get Sam back, but that is more of a floor raiser. We need to upgrade the talent if we want to go deeper. Sam (2-9 tonight), had a 94 offense rating in 12 Kenpom A games this year, which is really bad

Awesome to hear.

Man he was not good in the tournament. But if he’s willing to come back for ~1 Million I’ll take it.

He also showed some incredible promise. A year practicing under Odom and hitting the weight room and he can be all-ACC

Yeah we need to upgrade if we want to go deeper. But I understand the finances there

Lewis is a player who could absolutely make a jump. This was his P4 adjustment year

He’s someone who can actually develop and get better. And hopefully more big game experience helps too

UVA will need anywhere from 3 to 5 bankable guys, either proven transfers or high end recruits/Euros. And then at least a couple more prospects for the developmental pool, maybe more depending on who we lose from that group. Won’t be as crazy as last year but still a lot.

They’re already active with portal guys and surely lots who haven’t announced their intention. Big money ones too, the talk of being poor doesn’t match up.

Yea that’s fine but you can’t bank on that. He’s in year 4 now and he didn’t show it in the biggest games (in fact his numbers say he wasn’t even average). I think think he needs to be the 4th or 5th man is all

The football team has used two year deals, I wonder if Sam is on one also? Either way, good to hear people are open to returning.

Leave the fiscal discipline to second tier programs like UNC and Kentucky who won’t even buy out their underperforming coaches

We’ve got European nations’ GDPs to inflate

Have wondered this myself.

I wouldn’t get my hopes up for Falslev. Gift Link. Utah State can’t match college basketball’s spending or keep a coach. It wins anyway - The Athletic

Terrence Hill Jr has to be the whale. Can’t imagine a guy who would both fit in and elevate us like he could.

I think TDR is more of an advantage creator at the 4. Since at least Utah St, Odom’s 4s have always been willing to take a 3.
