This guy sure does love him some LaSalle. Md went 16-17 last year and was picked 11th in the Big Ten this year. And, it was only an exhibition.

Now that you mention it, you are correct. Doesn't appear eligible for an extra Covid year either.

Medical?

I do not know exact rule, but he only played three games, I think. All were non-conference I also think that might have something to do with being eligible for a medical RS.

Dayton loses to Xavier by 24. Davidson loses to Tennessee by 18 and other scores from around the country.

Team will go as they shoot.

Hmmmmm I know you were being purposely evasive, but my reading into this is we did not play much D. If we shoot lights out we can win. If we do not, we don't do enough else well enough to win.

How come everyone gets secret scrimmage reported out? VCU, SDSU, UVA, UCLA, Boise,New Mexico, Washington,list is long. I guess, just like our schedule, it is all a plan to fly under the radar with as little fan fare as possible and let as little folks outside this message board know we exist.

I had the same thought but hasn't Wickersham already redshirted?

Curious. Has the coaching staff flipped their thinking and now plan to redshirt Wickersham rather than Cam?

Schools don’t HAVE to fund scholarships up to the roster limit, though you have to believe pretty much every hoops program will.

NIL became a workaround for scholarships…call a kid a walk-on but shovel NIL his way that is equivalent to a scholarship. So the settlement was no more scholarship limits, just roster limits. Everybody can get a scholarship/NIL to level each school decides to fund.

So walkons are no more, they have to be on scholarship to be on the team? Do current walkons get grandfathered in, or do they have to eat a scholarship or find a new school?

I'm a little unclear on the reasoning for a roster limit of players. Why not just raise the scholarship limit, but still allow walkons? Of all the issues in college hoops, having too many walkons did not seem to be one of them.

Coleman did a great job avoiding hits. He ran but he didn’t take big hits. Similarly he didn’t take hits in the pocket. Thought staff put him in good places and he did a good job with decision making.

I completely understand this point of view and am sure there are many people who are fans of UVA basketball that share this sentiment.

And probably plenty that are more than fine with Bennett picking his guy so I get that top.

There is a thread with (very deserved ) praise for the team’s performance yesterday. I personally noted that it was the most fun I’ve had at Robin’s Stadium in years. Message boards are unfortunately a haven for venting and knee jerk reactions (check out Alabama’s or even Texas’s boards last night). I don’t consider the “negative” posts about attendance as attacking the team or program…quite the opposite as these guys deserve a lot more support. I also have high expectations for this program so when we lay an egg against Morgan State or Wofford I’m going to be one of those venting but I’ll still be at every game supporting the team with my $ and voice. Great win yesterday. If we keep playing like this it’s going to be a very fun few months ahead.

Even the P4 schools are cutting back because of the extra scholarships. My daughter works in a P4 athletic department and they did not hire any paid interns this year. Instead of working with 2 varsity sports, she is working with 4.

I wonder if Trump has ever been in a locker room with Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods. It can be the subject of his next big speech.

The guy is off his rocker. He has dementia.

I will go ahead a start a thread since no one else wants to comment on game yesterday. I know we play great when I can come on here and there are no posts. Everyone that regularly posts must be sad because there was not much to complain about. Great job by players and coaches responding to a big challenge that Deleware brought to town. We were by far the best team yesterday and made plays that champions need to make. We finished red zones drives with touchdowns. We created turnovers. We controlled the line scrimmage on both sides of the ball and we pressured the QB. Great effort all the way around and certainly appreciated by this fan.

The only equivalent thing I can think of to foster uncertainty this close a season would be if - just spitballing here - you didn't know all the teams you were playing 3 weeks before the season started.

And Coleman ran as much as Wickersham.

This program is indeed strong. The staff has done an excellent job of recruiting local and nationwide talent but with a definite focus on the local high school talent that we are able to sign. We are a competing for conference championships again on a regular basis and and have been a playoff participant the last couple of years. Tickets and parking are a bargain. The talent level is great and we are winning. All we can do is keep supporting this team and try to bring friends and family out for a fun Saturday afternoon and hope they continue to come back. Times have changed since our City Stadium Days with television and streaming of games. We also have somewhat split up our fan base with the stadium structure with two sides and three parking lots but that was the sacrifice to move on campus. Hopefully we can win out and the WM game can pack the stadium. This team deserves it. What a great display of depth and talent to beat a team moving to FBS relatively easy with all of our injuries yesterday.

First of all with less than a month to go, choosing an assistant was a no brainer. But I know some UVA fans
were tired of the lack of offense and if the same story this year, we may see the AD go outside for a new coach.

Unfortunately athletic departments and ADs are all about control anymore; controlling the personnel and controlling the message. They want to control all aspects of anything related to athletics and have little or no desire for volunteer participation.
