FSU will bring in another really solid class. Losing Malik Beasely SUCKS.

3* Mfiondu Kabengele F Crown Point, IN 6'9" 235 3/1/16 (Mutumbo's nephew)
5* Jonathan Isaac F Bradenton, FL 6'10" 200 7/5/15
3* C.J. Walker G Indianapolis, IN 6'0" 180 6/20/15
4* Trent Forrest G Chipley, FL 6'4" 190
(JC) Braian Angola-Rodas G Coeur d'Alene, ID 6'6" 200

 

[UVA_Guy81]

DeAndre Hunter F Wynnewood, PA 6'7" 195 4*

Jay Huff F Durham, NC 6'11" 190 4*

Kyle Guy G Indianapolis, IN 6'2" 165 4*

Ty Jerome G New Rochelle, NY 6'5" 190 4*


And also have former 5* recruit Austin Nichols from Memphis after sitting out last season. Should definitely continue to be a top team in the ACC again. Now just have to figure out how to continue that success in the tournament.

Richardson had an out of body experience in the second half of SU's win over UVA. It's just one of those things.

I also think that UVA was caught offguard by the full court press they started doing which really surprised me because they usually have no problem with that since they easily handled it both times that they played Louisville. It totally disrupted their game and they fell apart those last 10 minutes.

UVA still made the Elite 8. That is doing pretty well in the Tournament.

Yes, except they had the final four in their grasp and had a huge mental breakdown when they could least afford it.

While this is true, I don't think UVA should be categorized as a team that doesn't play well in the Tournament.

There is a GT fan on OGBoards, that keeps going on and on about how Bennett ball doesn't work in the post-season. It is quite annoying.

I think it can work but I think a lot of it is just mental. Also, UVA has always been prone to going long stretches without scoring or scoring very few points, which I think hurts their chances against the elite teams that they'd be facing deep in the tournament.

 

[The Q]

UVA has lost to an Inferior team 3 years in a row in the tourney.

While there is some random luck involved in the tourney...this is an alarming trend.

Justin Jackson to return to school.

WTH is Null?

This last tournament, I will agree. Those two Michigan State losses weren't to a bad team. I believe that they were underranked both years and UVA got a bad draw. Izzo usually has his teams ready for the tournament.

Still an inferior team.

Marques Bolden commits to Duke. Duke is going to be just insane next year. Potential starting lineup/back ups:

PG: Frank Jackson
SG: Grayson Allen/Luke Kennard
SF: Jayson Tatum/Matt Jones
PF: Amile Jefferson/Marques Bolden
C: Harry Giles/Chase Jeter

Should be the heavy favorite for next season.

I mixed up Marquez Bolden and Mo Bamba for a few hours. Makes me feel a little bit better about it.

Even though, I doubt it makes a difference in the end. Bamba is going to a blue blood.

Jaron Blossomgame is returning to Clemson. Huge news for them. Think they are a fringe top 25 team next year because of this news.

State recently received a commitment from 5* Euro big man, Omer Yurtseven.

SU was hoping to get him.
