Lewis is a bonafide one and done. You can hang that up. He could have a terrible year next year and still get drafted. The scouts love him. Mann is 6'4" with elite handles, elite range and he can jump out of the gym. I could see him becoming a 1st rounder.
Nembhard Johnson and blackshear are guys that I think could find their way on an NBA roster. Scouts really like nembhard. He might develop into a draft pick. Johnson and Blackshear I think will have to find the right situation for them to get a good shot.

So if you're right, doesn't that say with decent chemistry we're loaded. Mike coach 'em up.

Great get by CMW!

I watched several of VT's games. Most remarkable thing about him is that his heels rarely touch the court as he plays.


His moves inside reminds me a little of Kevin McHale.

Stone now plays for U of Miami.

Bad brain, bad brain -- I was meaning Stokes. Man, he's gonna be pushed by competition from teammates.

I was kicking coach White so wrongly -- I bet no coach has more transformed the possibilities of a team in one recruiting season.

I still think he needs some adrenaline gummy bears to chew on.

Yeah I should have figured out who you meant since it was basically one letter off.

As of now UF will have the 7 new players and only 6 returning players on the roster. So I bet you are right few if any coaches have transformed their roster this off season like White. As impressive as UF's recruiting class was, it is equally impressive t get the number 1 grad transfer along with the number 6 regular transfer and Druiji was higher than that until oddly the Hauser brothers announced they were leaving a high major program where they were having success.

Since Jason Jitiiboh is from Nigeria, how few years has he played competitive basketball? Already decent, with losing xs weight, and more training/paying maybe we'll see a burst of skills. Glad we've got players to dream on.

I didn’t think we had any more scholarships.

Hence my question about another shoe. I always thought that if UF got Blackshear there would be at least one maybe two transfers out. Appleby would be a sit out guy and of course he is from Arkansas and he is setting up a visit to UAR.

Charting the Gators: UF, Transfers and Hokies (Updated) - Florida Gators
Cue the music to 'Pipeline'. Hokies gotta be hatin' on us.

This is a bit silly.

2012: Finney-Smith picks VaTech over UF in a close recruiting battle, VaTech fires Seth Greenberg after Finney-Smith's Frosh year and so Finney-Smith transfers.

2015: Buzz Williams comes in recruits Frosh SG Hudson and Hill. Hill wins the job but is hurt his Soph year. Hudson starts 24 games with Hill out, but Hill is coming back and while of course VaTech would rather have him as a bench player, Hudson transfers to play more.

2019: Buzz Williams bails to aTm, Blackshear decides to graduate transfer and picks UF.

Each story is different and two of the three were after coaching changes.

Silly or not, doesn't change the fact that we've gotten 3 transfers from VaTech in that past 7 years.
Pipeline, baby! :lol:
