Marial kinda lives near the edge of that exception, depending on how you want to draw the line. He left because he would have had a small role here (was getting crowded out that year by Ty, Kyle, Dre, and Hall). Probably would have played <20 mpg for us, and it was his last year so he wanted to be 30+.
So even though he stayed in P5 it was still a step down to someplace where he could elevate from rotation player to star.

Kyle gave a shout out to him in his recruiting tweet so I guess they would take him.

From a purely “let’s win” perspective, Marial would be a great addition.

Seems like a guy who would like to compete for a share of a million dollars plus purse…

Like @XHoo said when I’d asked recently. Sucks but not surprising at all

It does suck. Having these guys back on the court at JPJ would’ve been a great celebration of the Bennett era.

That legitimately sucks. I was looking forward to this matching with my summer trip to Charlottesville.
I blame Odom for this and anything less than a Final 4 apperence will disappoint me

A segue is an uninterrupted transition. A Segway is a mechanical device designed to terrorize innocent pedestrians.

Yeah but what does sanguine mean?

Sanguine means optimistic or confident. Sanguinary means bloody and gory.
Same root for both. Blood was one of the four humours thought to influence disposition.

And sangria is the beverage my mother in law pretends to enjoy to seem worldly.

It’s the version of wine that prevents scurvy.
Thursday was national scurvy awareness day.
