I loved playing at West 4th Street. Of course, I was so bad that they’d only let me play during the off-off-off hours, like 6 a.m. on Sundays. But I also enjoyed standing behind the chainlink fences and watching the real players go at it. Saw Anthony Mason there a bunch of times. Albert and Bernard King, too.

I played in a couple leagues at W4th in like 1994-95. Could shoot from opposite FT line the court was so small. I never liked the sideline microfone guys doing running commentary though hahahah

Does anyone have a notion of the visits, if any, to be made during the remainder of the season? Especially, Travis Perry? And, for the most part, 2024 prospects. Thanks.

Only Kon for the Duke game is known

Keep in mind there have been lots of unofficials by some our our tip 24s, Abraham and Stevenson specifically

Anything from Perry or Freitag about visiting?

We have Sat home games against BC, Duke, ND and Lou. Lots of opportunities for visits. Would love to add a couple guys to visit with KK against Duke. I would prefer Freitag/Sorber but we could have AAU teammates Perry/Burgess, the PVI cousins or some combination of Stevenson, Williams or maybe even Ty Davis,

I’m also surprised no one mentioned Grandmama and Tony Bennett were teammates for a couple of years on the Hornets!

Great pull. Totally forgot they overlapped

So, if a 2024 prospect isn’t visiting for a game this winter, I imagine that there is one of three reasons for that.

  1. The prospect isn’t that interested in Virginia (anymore).
  2. The staff isn’t all that interested in the prospect (anymore).
  3. The timing of a visit has become problematic.
    Reason #3 seems to most likely impediment for a visit, but things change. People move on. We’ve seen the staff effectively end a recruitment before. From a fan’s perspective, you sometimes wonder about all the offers which are outstanding, and how many of them are still valid.
