oh yeah I’m only kidding about 3pm Wed. No clue
So now you’re just making up news. You know you can’t be playing with these peoples emotions on here. They live by your word.
I hope Reece does a “Final Two” twitter post like recruits do, except it’s just a picture of us and the NBA logo. Can even throw a moon and Tony giving Lebron the stink eye in there somewhere too.
Reece should become a dramaturg (best suffix ever?). He has a knack for suspense.
Maybe Reece wants to see if the debt ceiling vote passes first
Giving my typical contrarian view: feels like it’s the fans (us) creating the drama, mostly. Case in point, and sorry to pick on Riffs:

Tomorrow is a likely to hear about Reece Beekman’s plans. My personal feeling has been that 90% he’s gone – but now it feels like a tossup / even might say it’s slightly more likely he’s returning.
What has happened or what has Reece said that has folks with such Wild Mood Swings**? Nada, zip, zilch. I see the situation as remarkably stable since basically the injury (which arrested his upward momentum). It’s a tough decision.
** Mint car is my favorite Cure song, and I don’t care what critics say. What do they know?
Haney you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today? You are on
Just getting some takes up before work. Gotta put in the work (on my takes, not so much on the actual work)
Trying to read the Reece!! Decision in real time is good fun. It has been very clear to me since the end of our season
One of my favorite players ever to watch at UVa. regardless of his choice on returning or not, I just hope he’ll be a good rep of the program whether vocally/visibly or by performance. Love to see guys come back, embrace the University, staff, new players & the City
While we’re waiting for Reece….
The Cure “Hot Hot Hot!!!” and Prince “Kiss” are the same song. Haney respond.
Would be genius response in his interviews “yea well you know. My D is elite and I can run the pick n roll flawlessly. But what really has my attention is the US debt celing and interest rates”
“Before I enter the workforce, I’d like to see if employers can indeed guarantee payment on my paychecks. Otherwise I’m going back to college so Congress can sort things out for a year.”
Rothstein’s feed full of tweets about players withdrawing from the NBA draft today.
While we wait… Here are the guys that have eligibility left, who might come back (thought to have retained eligibility), played 5-on-5 at the combine, and as of the time of the combine, hadn’t yet declared either way. Basically, I tried to find Reece’s peers:
- Trey Alexander
- Emoni Bates
- Reece Beekman
- Adem Bona
- Johni Broome - BACK
- Adam Flagler
- PJ Hall - BACK
- DaRon Holmes
- Coleman Hawkins
- Andre Jackson Jr.
- Dillon Jones
- Ryan Kalkbrenner - BACK
- Arthur Kaluma
- Kevin McCullar - BACK
- Judah Mintz
- Dillon Mitchell
- Grant Nelson
- Brandin Podziemski
- Omax Prosper - STAYING IN
- Oscar Tshiebwe
- Adama Sanogo
- TJ Shannon
- Azoulas Tubelis
So, as of ~1:30pm on Tuesday, 4 guys coming back, 1 guy going pro, and 18 still not yet announced. Updates as I feel moved to do so.
Blake Hinson back at Pitt
The three left in the ACC that I have down still undecided are Reece, Judah Mintz, and Miles Kelly.
Maybe Reece is just waiting on the goodbye video from uva social media
Flagler is back
If so, I’m not seeing any announcement or news. He was just in that Lakers workout a few days ago with Kihei.
