To this point, it’s why I’m happy we brought in Onyenso. The thought of him being our main 5 was a little scary but in his role as Grünloh’s likely backup, I think he will be really helpful in certain matchups.

Haven’t read anything officially, but HGN was saying a while back that he thinks the defensive transition will be hardest. Matching the athleticism, speed, and the variety of different 4 roles he’ll be matched with. It seemed like more of a comment about how hard it is to transition from euro ball to US than an indictment on De Ridder.

Defense?!? We’re still worried about defense?
This is the new era: we are gonna score like 120 points per game because we play fast and jack threes now.

So, there really hasn’t been any change in the de Ridder story other than Rothstein posting what we’ve already known, right?

This gets us in the top 300 in the country according to national experts, maybe.

My current working roster matrix:
Key:
- Green = expected starter
- Yellow = rotation reserve
- Green/yellow = front court pecking order TBD
- Orange = redshirt/scout team
Other notes:
- Heights/weights current from the UVA official roster webpage
- EvanMiya rankings may be a bit out of date, his transfer rankings aren’t working right now
- Still need to update 2026 Draft projections, lost my ESPN+ sub, have seen Grünloh as a 2nd rounder elsewhere.

Unfortunately it wouldn’t do you much good.. Most recent one I’ve seen from them (here) doesn’t have Grünloh listed at all.
Barring some issue with his availability I’d bet a lot of money on this.

I’ve let my Trilly membership lapse for the summer. Any discord subscribers want to give vibes over there on us with TDR eligibility closer to settled?
Thinking mostly of the weave, Kevin Sweeney types. Apparently Eamonn is gonna do something with Trilly this coming season, too.
