Really good article if you want to understand Trey Kaufman better.
Then, there’s Kaufman’s grades. He has a perfect 4.0 grade point average and is No.1 in his class academically.
“He’s very methodical about his thought process and very analytical,” Day said. “ He’s always thinking, but never in a hurry.”
OMG – SOOOOOOO want him to be a HOO!!!
Last night I was checking the 247 Indiana site and the guy who moderated the site said UVa and Purdue are right on the next line to IU with Carolina trailing all three. Some Kentucky talk started and Brian Snow chimed in although Kaufman wants a UK offer, he felt he doesn’t want to go there. He also mention IU would be involved with Hopkins and Kaufman/ Hopkins aren’t a good match.
Thought it was an interesting conversation. If UVa could somehow get him to Charlottesville, it feels like they could sway him, especially as strong as he is academically.
Now that the Kings season is over, we just need Kyle to host a road trip back to Cville.
I am very much of the opinion that Kauffman would be a Hoo if visits occurred as they normally do
I agree. I would really love to have him!
I think Malcolm would be a pretty good complement to Kyle in terms of Highlighting what uva would offer academically and otherwise.
Papihoo, this is the type of prospect who’s priorities aligns with our strengths.
If we could just get him on campus!
Can you imagine a class of Kaufman, Murray, and Houstan. I know Houstan is a long shot but we could afford to hold out for him or a top transfer because there should be plenty.
When you talk about the 5 Pillars his picture should be there. I want this guy at UVA so much. He is a great fit
Yes, indeed. Malcolm, Debrickashaw, and Jowon were similarly well-rounded prospects amongst many others that were attracted to UVA. Hopefully, he’ll find his home in C-ville!
Saw where Texas is recruiting Austin Nunez and in the recruitment, Shaka Smart actually asked Nunez to write a book report on Kobe Bryant’s book. Says it helped strengthen the bond there.
What an interesting and unique approach. Definitely has to leave somewhat of an impression.
Were we looking to watch Donald Hand Jr this summer or is there something else in his game that makes our staff back off?
Anyone have on insight why football recruits are making unescorted visits to campuses but basketball recruits don’t really appear to be doing the same?
Dont think we are at this time. Things change so maybe we will in the future? Still very early in 2022. Nothing but rumors (so nothing verified) but I think tony is looking for a pure pg in 2022 and hopes the big guard in 2021 develops into that combo or McKneely could be that combo guard with a deadly outside shot as well
Also still early in 2022 especially since UVA has yet to begin its full court recruiting due to COVID and not knowing future roster make up with lack of 2021 class.
With Nickel I wonder whether he is closer to 6’6 or 6’8 and which position he plays and defend. And if Tony is down for a 3/4 tweener.
(I am a huge Nickel fan but I have no idea if we pursue him heavily or not)
Calling Taine Murray to Stanford. Too much Bay Area smoke (the bad kind). Hope I’m wrong.
Man we need a break. Thanks for passing along.
I’m not upset about this if true
At this point I’m thinking let’s just scratch 2021, and go after a homerun 4-5 man class in 2022.
