Wowā¦good for him.
Heād be a great bridge if he stuck around. We wouldnāt have gone after Dante. Glad heās getting his though.
Itās the racing stripe that makes the difference. Looking slick
I tried that onceā¦ once
Iāve noticed a lot of the guys we were kinda sorta linked to in the offseason havenāt done much. Jennings for example barely played in Texas Techās first game. It wasnāt a slam dunk portal season for us but I feel like it really worked out. Rohde will be a huge piece for two more years so thatās a W
McKoy with a career high in minutes and points in Game 1 in paradiseā¦
Beran has been pretty meh so far at VT. Probably a better defender than Groves but nowhere near the shooting numbers Jacob has put up in his first three games.
Still a lot of season left but I think we did pretty damn good overall with our transfer haul, Minor is definitely a TBD but I think heāll play a vital role at some point.
No one would give me Campbell plus 21.5! Go Camels
Kadin in the starting line-up for Texas tonight.
Beran is so ridiculously mid (okay thatās maybe harsh I think his defense wouldāve played here but offensively thereās just nothing to work with). Early returns on groves are looking very promising and I believe he is the much better fit overall
Thereās this pompous guy on tech sideline that tried to argue Beran was better than Dunn this year over the offseason. I knew it would age poorly but Iām very petty when it comes to this stuff so I had to save the receipt lol
I watched a lot of the creighton Iowa game last night. Traudt is such a good shooter and would obviously love to have that option off the bench but manā¦and I say this with no sour grapesā¦he is really lumbering out there. I donāt remember him moving that slowly but his foot speed did not impress me. Not saying he wonāt be good and we wonāt miss him but that really surprised me
Sooo lumbering
Looked like he was running in quick sand. There was a play where Kalkbrenner and he were running back and Kalkbrenner looked like a sprinter compared to Traudt. The 7ā1 center looked far more mobile. Thought that was crazy
Yeah I think I said this before but it looks like he put too much weight on. Probably in anticipation of guarding centers in the post.
He was much slimmer and mobile here (blue white/practice footage and italy footage)
Yea he is fat. I guess his Mama and girlfriend have been feeding him well. Great shooter but thatās it.
While he may be wrongā¦ GCHokie is one of the more knowledgeable posters thereā¦ used to be a manager on the basketball team and is pretty well connected. Heās one of the few that gives pretty good information and is pretty fair when talking about UVA.
VT fans really do live in their own weird dimension, donāt they? Between this hot take and the āPedulla is better than Beekmanā narrative that got started it really makes you question their basketball smarts.
I donāt know how anyone could watch tape of Beran and Dunn last season and determine that Beran was gonna end up as the better player this year, or that he wouldāve started over Dunn. Even if he is knowledgeable that is a certifiably insane opinion lol.
Gave him the benefit of the doubt until I saw he posted this in April 2023
Heās knowledgeable but heās also incredibly arrogant in any disagreement.
