šŸ€ Virginia's Portal Recruiting is Underway

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 what’s happening… not advocating for him having a say. But fire away, I suppose.

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. He’s 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 didn’t do that stuff.

So Derik Queen is going to forego the NBA draft, enter the portal, and commit tonight to the Hoos.

Haven’t seen anything about Bam or Jennings taking other visits have you?

Personal vibe check: I figured we’d lose more than 50% to the portal, but I figured that without a coach to follow, we’d have kept 2-3 guys from last year’s team. And I was hoping for the young bigs…

I guess Elijah G (:pray:) plus Chance is still better than literally nothing…

I haven’t but they could decide to stay at VCU… plus they could be making an ā€œOdom or free market decisionā€ and visit next couple weekends

I would have liked Gertrude, Cofie or A Rob, and iMac personally. But it’s 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.

Missed that; what school did he visit?

BC?

I’m 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 ā€œfollowing my coach to his new jobā€ is a big source of early transfers, and it’s a little weird at least that hasn’t really happened… yet? It’s not ā€˜bad vibes,’ but it’s also not good vibes… (again, yet).
