Yeah big agree on Thijs. Heās been missing really good looks. If he hit like 1.5 more a game weād be in a lot better shape, and I think it would go a long way towards opening things up for him and the rest of the team again.

This team is one elite defender away from being in another level. Chance is close imo

Iād say the other way - one elite offensive player away ā¦ like Duke and Louisville and North Carolina have. All the top teams have a dude who can just go get buckets.

Thomas is not quite that for us. Not that we expected him to be on par with that type of elite talent.

My son & I were debating just the other day what this edition would look like with Ryan Dunn on the roster.

Weāre trending down a little bit, theyāre trending up. Midweek road game against an uninspiring opponent.
We should be able to out talent them, but Iām definitely pretty worried about them. These are the games that can really sneak up on you in the conference schedule. Iām hoping they used up all their three point luck for a while.

I donāt think that Odom would play a guy afraid to shoot like he was, but god can you imagine trying to score with Dunn and Ugo on the court at the same time? Good luck. Itād be like playing against your dad as a kid

The paradigm here would beā¦ would he be afraid to shoot in Odomās offense? I would lean towards he would not.

Dunn wouldāve been a much better shooter under Odom because thereās not nearly the pressure to make every shot and it frees guys up because they know thereās a good chance there will be an offensive rebound if they miss.

I didnāt realize Dunn was still coached by Tony. Canāt wait to see his shooting under a new coach!

The 25 students that show up are about to be real wasted for this game.
Didnāt Tony Elliott hand out pizza at one point?

Saw in a tweet that Odom recruited Loucks to VPI.
Loucks dodged a bullet, but you can imagine that he might still be resentful towards Odom for that. Extra motivation.

Player A: Ryan Dunn career numbers at UVa. Player B: Ryan Dunn career numbers in the NBA.
Why are we still doing this āimagine if someone other than Tony Bennett coached Ryan Dunn and unlocked his offensive potentialā thing?

Because Tony Bennett sucked ass at coaching offense for the last few years of his career and didnāt particularly care that he sucked ass
Sometimes I think thatās accepted fact, and I shouldnāt harp on it, but then I realize, maybe it isnātā¦
