Speculation is that McCorkle will re-reclassify back into the 2020 class. Of course, this speculation barely rises to the standard of unsubstantiated interweb rumor, but there it is. 😎

Actually, Bennett's post season issues haven't been related to coaching. It's more of an infirmary sort of thing. The only year the squad has been remotely healthy throughout its run in the NCAAT was 2016. Admittedly, the team choked the Elite Eight game to Syracuse that year, but... In...

Since this is an ACC thread, and this wasn't posted, I thought I would add it. Since the OP started this, Virginia has added two players to its roster. Francisco Caffaro, a 7'0", 233 lbs. center from Argentina, by way of the NBA Global Academy in Australia will be a true frosh next year. UVa...

There is a rumor circulating which says that, after receiving SKJ's transcripts, Pitt told him not to bother making his scheduled official visit. It first appeared just before the UNC board reported that Carolina wasn't pursuing him anymore. There may be something to it; there may not...

There is some buzz circulating about another 'big', but it seems more like wishful thinking than anything else. I think Virginia fans will have to pin their hopes on the staff's ability to develop Huff. Also, it will be interesting to see what a season with Mike Curtis does for Frankie...

Among other things: First, when talking athletic front court players, you should probably include Diakite. At the moment, it would appear that he is the heir to Wilkins' spot. He is more athletic than Wilkins, and he is now displaying more offensive skills than a jump shot. If he continues...

Well, just to clarify a bit: The 2016 class included nothing but Top 100 prospects, and they were all 4 stars. Kyle Guy and Ty Jerome were both Top 50 prospects. Mamadi Diakite reclassified late to enroll early, and his ranking was all over the place because of it. He was ranked in the Top...

Yeah, it appears the 'redshirt' year was put to good use. Then, again, the roster now lists Jack Salt as 6'10". Apparently, he shrank an inch.

Re: Virginia. FWIW, Perrantes graduated, signed a two way contract with Cleveland, and is now in the G league. Thompson, Shayok, and Reuter all transferred. Conventional wisdom says that they anticipated that their playing time was in jeopardy. Certainly, Reuter was about to be by-passed...

Wake might win, but... It wasn't mentioned above but it is likely that those players that left did so because they believed that their playing time would be diminished as the '16 recruiting class started to assert itself. Both Guy and Jerome were coming on strong (and starting) at the end of...

FYI, as I recall, the Sickle Cell trait is also found among Mediterranean population groups (and those descended from such), most of which would be considered 'Caucasian'.

As a fan of Wolfe, Dos Passos, and Faulkner, the whole paragraph thing doesn't concern me. And, you might be right. It could be that Virginia won't be good this year. There are many unknowns. Nonetheless, I am pretty optimistic. With respect to the transfers, I believe Shayok and Reuter...

Just came across this thread the other day. Virginia fans are actually a bit more optimistic about the coming year, if not years. Among other things, Huff redshirted last season primarily because he wasn't ready for the physical aspects of college ball. He was 6'11" and 185 lbs (or, something...

Federer but no Rod Laver???

Of course, one of the things folks tend to ignore is that Bennett has now had three of his recruits sign contracts with NBA teams, and none of them were in anyone's Top 100 as high school players (Joe Harris 3 star recruit, Akil Mitchell, a 2 star prospect until he committed, and Darion Atkins...

Well, technically the barrier was broken on January 1st with the commitment of Sacha Killeya-Jones. Unfortunately, we had said barrier unbroken for us, and, now, it is happily re-broken. Just to be technical! :)

Actually, UVa played Maryland last year in College Park. Virginia was due a home game, but going to Columbus isn't upsetting too many people. Among other things, having a senior laden team play on the road this year is probably better than a somewhat younger team doing so the following season...

When Brogdon was red-shirting, he changed his major and also entered a masters program (leadership of some sort). He'll get his B.A. this May, and his graduate degree next spring, as I understand things. He has indicated that he will be back next season to complete the program. At this point...

That maybe true, but define raw talent.

Would a '15 prospect be using an official visit in the fall of '13? Wouldn't it be, more likely, an unofficial visit?
