The 6'11 guy who redshirted was a top 100 player - Jay Huff.
Heard Kyle Guy talking about how UVA focuses on defense for at least 85% of their practice time. Even if an exaggeration, UVA's emphasis on D is reflected in their play. On the flip-side, it appears that WF devoted about 5% of their practices to defense.
To be fair, we had A LOT to fix.
Two points: 1) Kelly Olynyk redshirted at Gonzaga. 2) 99/100 peeps on this board would give up their first born to have the type of record that UVA has last 4ish seasons. So let's not go too far with the Tony Bennett hate. The style criticism is fair, but the W/L record is excellent
Anyone ever hear why Tevin Mack was kicked of the team at TX? He'd be eligible to play in January. It would suck for Mitchell W. and Wash but we'd be totally loaded at SG/SF with Keyshawn, Chaundee and Mack.
I don't want anybody near our program that was kicked off of the team at Texas.
Really? It's not like Texas, under Shaka (or even under Rick Barnes) is/was some sort of outlaw program. I could see saying that you don't want anyone near our program that was kicked off the team at any program, but if WF is going to consider players kicked off a team, a high profile recruit at Texas is preferable to most.

But they had no other bigs who weren't scrubs.
You can't compare it to red-shirting Happ. His frosh year they had Kaminsky, Dekker and Hayes. UVA no good players in the post. It's nonsense to compare Happ's RS to the scrubs UVA had.

I don't know if people are legit hating on Bennett. That said, it's not an unreasonable argument to make that his style might be played out and kids are increasingly balking at playing ball in the 40s.
What are the odds James "Hendu" Henderson is working up an "Allen is overrated" or "Allen was scared of being recruited over" article for the MENSA members over on Pack Pride?
