Winter Recruiting Thread

I would agree, but for the fact that the minutes for a portal transfer will be very limited if Shedrick returns, and I imagine he returns. Then the question becomes: how attractive is UVa to a portal transfer when all it is offering is 5 to 10 mpg? Among other things, you also have to wonder about how deep the rotation will be. If both Franklin and Shedrick return, it likely includes Shedrick, Traudt, Dunn, Bond, Franklin, McKneely, Beekman, and Harris. If neither Franklin nor Murray come back, that might be an opportunity for a transfer if the staff feels Gertrude isn’t completely ready. Regardless, I am unsure any potential ā€œbigā€ in the portal finds the ninth spot in the rotation that appealing. Or, at least, any ā€œbigā€ who could be productive. Whether Buchanan redshirts is a question for which I have no answer. History says he does, but circumstances might suggest otherwise.

ā€œWe’ve got a state championship we want to win and that’s not out of our sight, we’re going to prepare for that,ā€ Bliss said. ā€œAfter my visit tomorrow to Virginia, I’m definitely back in the gym on Sunday and getting locked in on the team and the state championship.ā€

Christian Bliss is visiting for the Duke game today

Hopefully, it began yesterday. A beautiful 70 degree day in C’ville has to contrast nicely with what he left behind in Wisconsin. Every little bit helps, doncha know! :slight_smile:

Some posters don’t really see Perry as a pure PG. Is Bliss more of one? He seems like a big scorer also. How do they compare to Ty Davis? If Freitag is out because of ND football offer. I was curious about how they think these other three guys stack up. I realize the Perry is the only one of them with an offer.

I have no read on whether he’s a floor general type or a solely bucket getter type pg. Somewhere in between?

Wonder if there is a PVI and Sidwell Friends crew at the game.

Oh shit, when we bring key recruits to a big game it destroys any chances of us winning. Our chances of winning are like me predicting we’ll land a recruit: it’s the kiss of death followed by cremation of the body and then the mixing of the ashes into a vat of asphalt and having them paved into a road.

This, and the fact we can’t get recruits to commit to us, is why we should stop recruiting recruits altogether.

The true kiss of death would have been Game Day in Hooville. I think we’re 0-2/3?

I think we beat UNC with Gameday there in Brogdon’s last year.
