Saw Jennings at least 5-6 times (live in RVA) this year, and was a little surprised he wasn’t getting more attention.
He can play. Not sure he’s a P6 Day 1 impact player, but definitely could develop.

Any interest in Bishop Boswell out of Charlotte? Seems like that type of big guard TB likes. Stumbled upon some highlights following Rick Lewis, content to distribute the ball but uses his size well in finishing when he’s got the opportunity. Tough to gauge shooting ability or find numbers but he makes them all in his highlights! Xavier, Houston, Wake are after him, top 75ish guy. If I’m late to the party on this one I apologize, but he just kinda stuck out as a good fit.

Oh that’s the guys name? That sounds like the name of a private high school, not a person lol.

I think we passed on him. No one from UVA has been at Myers Park. Atvthe same time his recruitment is still in its infancy so we’ll see
But yeah hes Brogdon in my eyes.

His spring AAU stats have been pretty good, popped when I was looking through that D1 Circuit site a live period ago. Doing a little bit of everything.

Virginia : “The offer came out of nowhere. I have been talking to the coaches there for a while. They are more of a relationship-based staff. **[Tony Bennett is a family man. He always tries to see if people like me are a good fit for them to offer and consider for the future. It took a while. It took a lot of the coaches watching my games and me just getting to know them. Also, it took them getting to know me and my family. When I got the call, it was surreal because I watched them when I was younger when they went on their national championship run. They want me to come up on a visit but I am trying to find the right time.”
Not sure how to read our comments but the UCLA ones seem pretty luke warm like he expects more from them being local.
Our natty doesn’t feel that long ago but now these new recruits were pre-high school when we won ha

When the only game in town is a crooked game what else is there to play?

Because you need top level talent to win a title. And Stevenson has that ceiling

Stevens-gone is a top 12-19 player. We haven’t won a title previously with a top 12-19 player.
Edited to add: Neither did Uconn this past year, or Villanova in their years.
The next time JWilly comes to CTB about a high profile recruit he should tell him “No”. How many times does this need to happen? They don’t fit our culture. They have different priorities and often it feels like they’re using us. Wasted resources on a kid we never really had a shot at and CTB having shrimp ricochet off his face to entertain him like a gdamn seal.

Everyone is complaining about Lucy pulling the football away again, but what did Virginia lose by taking a shot to try to woo Stevenson? CTB took a shot at a highly-rated prospect, I’m not sure I see the downside in the being in the running.

And you also build connections and ties that can help with future recruitments or in the transfer portal.

But what if that guy leaves before he’s even close to his ceiling. Then who cares what the ceiling is?
