Are you suggesting Tony would have had some say had he left differently?
Sheesh ⦠think the poster just idly wondering how Tony is thinking about whatās happening⦠not advocating for him having a say. But fire away, I suppose.

āAre you suggesting Tony would have had some say had he left differently?ā
The only recent transition where (1) the outgoing coach dictated the successor and (2) the program kept playing at the same level is K/Scheyer.
Now, I hate K. Heās the worst. But he was pretty single minded about making sure the program was in good shape, and was deliberate and serious about the transition plan.
Tony is a chill, normal dude so he didnāt do that stuff.
So Derik Queen is going to forego the NBA draft, enter the portal, and commit tonight to the Hoos.
Awesome.
Well, Dave did hint about today or tomorrow (4/5) so maybeā¦

Havenāt seen anything about Bam or Jennings taking other visits have you?
Personal vibe check: I figured weād lose more than 50% to the portal, but I figured that without a coach to follow, weād have kept 2-3 guys from last yearās team. And I was hoping for the young bigsā¦
I guess Elijah G () plus Chance is still better than literally nothingā¦
I havenāt but they could decide to stay at VCU⦠plus they could be making an āOdom or free market decisionā and visit next couple weekends
I would have liked Gertrude, Cofie or A Rob, and iMac personally. But itās all recency and if the end results come June are pretty good, then no one will care all that much.
I would like Sharma to stay. Any word on his destination?
Forgot about Sharma. He might have a good upside in the new system.
Jennings visited another ACC school after visiting UVa.
Missed that; what school did he visit?
BC?
Iām not panicked, but I did kind of think a couple of the (current) VCU guys would have hopped on board prior to this dead period coming up. At least get the ball rolling.
Seems like āfollowing my coach to his new jobā is a big source of early transfers, and itās a little weird at least that hasnāt really happened⦠yet? Itās not ābad vibes,ā but itās also not good vibes⦠(again, yet).
