Yeah this is a disaster and there is no way around it
Tubby Smith wouldāve never let this happen! Fire up the pitch forks!
Agreed. I have to believe this will be the standard line used by other programsāāVirginia? Be ready to sit for a year.ā
Let the crucifixion begin.
You donāt think that has already been used?
I take this to mean McKoy is playing at a 1st team All-ACC level, Murphy is returning, Keels is coming, and there is no room at the inn. I think that is the only reasonable interpretation.
I figured this could serve as an attempt at positivity in what is sure to be a maelstrom of āthe world is endingā posts.
Things that are ALWAYS a lie:
- Iām happy to wait my turn;
- Iām more interested in defense than offense;
- A school with excellent academics is very important to me.
lol what makes you think keels is coming?
This one hurts
Something happen?
But perspective is needed no need to go full UK and start demanding program overall.
Assess invest progress
I donāt think thatās true. With the way McKoy has been handled and his relationship with Jabri, I could see him also entering the portal.
Iām sure it has, but this is another gigantic data point, with Jabri being a Top 50 player.
You could see this coming from a mile away!
Well this is awful news.
Hgn, I know you can withdraw your name from the portal - is there any chance this could happen here? I figure thatās not really how tony rolls but trying to hold on to a little hope for now.
I expect him to stay in the portal and leave, heās already retweeted the news and removed his UVA profile pic on Twitter
I would say the same regarding McCorkle. They seemed to be pretty close. This was a very odd year to say the least. However, Iām not sure we didnāt know this was likely from early on because thereās no other way to explain not playing JAR more during the season.
I understand being frustrated with a T50 guy leaving the program- but I think some levelheadedness is needed here. In limited minutes last year, JAR showed he was quite a bit away from being a regular contributor. Maybe he would have made a leap next year with a full S&C offseason- but it was just as likely it would have been another year of time.
For every JAR, we have taken a transfer Trey Murphy and created a platform to grow and make it to the next level. Letās check in in 4 weeks and see who we have added.
I have zero idea what is going to happen, I donāt know anyone of any import or have any connection to Virginiaās coaching staff. HGN and possibly some other posters may know news that is not public. Iām going to assume it all will be fine because it generally works out that way and it feels better for my well-being. But everyone else can/should/will choose their own path.
