I don't see any big name basketball programs on his offer list. Have to like our chances here.

Coleman Collins' season in war-torn Ukraine - ESPN

I just got around to reading this story from a couple of weeks back. Coleman Collins wrote about his time playing in Ukraine as all the revolt and Russian invasion was starting up. I remember reading his stuff for the CT. After reading this, he could definitely have a future as a writer once he's done with basketball

Unranked 6'6 PG, but he's got some good offers. We've gotten some crystal ball predictions recently. http://247sports.com/Player/CJ-Williamson-31121<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Cj Williamson  on Instagram said:

Good read, always liked him as guy... although I can't REALLY say that, as I never met the man. I'm basing this opinion on his observable demeanor and personality on the court, his CT columns, etc. But he was a frustrating player to follow and was one of those Greenberg players who seemed to plateau or even regress by the end of his career (see also Jeff Allen).

I fully expect Buzz to beef up VT's non-conference schedule. This is a good start. Good, solid teams....and they should be winnable for VT.

Good size for a much needed position.

NBA preseason has started so you can now watch Erick Green on his quest to make the final Nuggets roster. First game he went 4-10 for 10 pts, 1 reb, 0 asts. I was only halfway paying attention to the game but he looked decent out there, like he belonged. He stands a good chance of making the roster imo.

2:30 tomorrow. Seems like it is us or Providence. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Meanwhile on Sunday, 3-star PG Justin Robinson will announce.

Buzz wanted this guy bad. Apparently the entire staff visited him not long ago. Good get. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>St. James (Md.) three-star point guard Justin Robinson picks <a href="">October 12, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

So does this wrap up the 2015 class already? Thought I read somewhere that we only had 2 spots.

I've read lately that at least 3 is likely. Then there is this tweet from a guru, who says he expects some attrition (saying that some attrition is normal in basketball, but especially with Buzz due to his style). I think this guy might become #3 later this month: http://247sports.com/Player/CJ-Williamson-31121 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Blackshear adds much needed depth and height along frontline . I think program ends up adding at least 4 for next year</p>&mdash; KipTJam (@KipTJam) <a href="">October 5, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
