Yeah, for us VT fans, the acc title was impossible 2-3 months ago. Hell for us that was as big as a final four. And yeah that went red hot for a month to make it in and got a bad matchup I'm Texas but hell, getting in was house money anyways looking back in January/Feb.

Yep. Y'all had to win that tourney to get in and balled the fug out. Be proud.

Hmmm oh well then. 

It's funny I still wear a ton of unc clothes  and people assume I'm a hard core fan and I just wear them bc I went to school there and like the colors 😆

Also somewhat bizzarly I became a truck driver several years after graduation (long story) but that always throws people for a loop and they're like why tf are you driving trucks lol

To be clear, giving up the big lead WAS. a choke job but taking that punch and fighting back and making it nip and tuck the rest of the game despite being pretty much ice damn cold and completely gassed? Man, that was fuging heart.

Other than checking a box for an HR department I can't honestly say I've ever truly used my degree. Just being honest. Our higher education approach could use a significant retooling.

 

 

Tbh I did go to grad school after but I ended up not enjoying it and also wasn't too enthused about the job prospects. I'm probably making at least double what I'd be making in the field my degree was in. And I would've needed a masters at minimum to be a professional  in that field ...

I would've been better off going to com college and probably would've been a trucker or diesel mechanic or something else several years prior. But then again I was terrible at managing money that young so I don't know how that really would have gone. 

 

I didn't pay a single cent for my college so that was the silver lining. I had some pissed off relatives when I dropped out of Grad school/ couldn't find a job that wasn't low level retail or food service (I was convinced from age 10 to 19 or so I'd become some genius  scientist lol ). But it's in the past now I'm in a much better place on my own on the road that I probably would've been slaving away in a office for relative peanuts

I’ll say this… with the way this one ended… I wouldn’t be totally shocked to see everyone come back except for Manek (obviously), Walton (I think he transfers), Garcia (I think he transfers again), and McKoy (I think he transfers again).

I also wouldn’t be surprised to see them enter the portal again to try and grab a stretch four, maybe someone like K.J. Williams from Murray State.

Just hypothetical… but…

G - Davis, Trimble (Freshman)

G - Love, Harris, Dunn

F - Black, Johnson, Styles, Nickel (Freshmen)

F - Williams (Transfer), Washington (Freshmen)

C - Bacot, Shaver (Freshmen)

Then of course you gave the biscuit boys… Landry, Lebo, Watkins, and Farris.

Trimble looks unreal. Really shocked he's not considered a top 10 recruit. CRAZY bounce. That dude's gonna have some highlights.

Walton needs to either transfer or commit himself to playing D. He fell out of the rotation due to defensive liability. We had plenty of other shooters.

Yeah, I don't know what happened with Garcia. I thought it was legit family illness stuff until a reporter asked the guys after one of the tourney wins (I think Baylor) if any of them had heard from Garcia and everyone just kinda looked around at each other and Bacot just laughed. Something happened there, but I don't know what. After seeing that exchange I'd be surprised to see him back.

Well currently we look like the favorites to land the #1 recruit in the country. GG Jackson is a 6’9 PF and the #1 ranked recruit and currently the rumor is that he’s leaning towards us. So if the core returns then we look damn good next year

Very excited for Trimble and Washington (assuming the ACL’s hold up). Jury’s out on Nickel, he looks really good but he also played in one of the worst HS basketball leagues I’ve ever seen.

I think Garcia will transfer to some school around where he lives, he just never seemed to gel with the guys.

Walton I like, but I don’t think he can truly play defense the way Hubert wants, he looks like he’s moving in slow motion out there. It sucks because I like the kid.

McKoy I think might transfer to a lower level school where he can ball out. Somewhere local in NC or VA.

If you asked me today I would have told you Bacot, Love, and Leaky were gone…. with the way it ended for Bacot just basically hobbling across the floor, Love having one of his worst games all season, and Leaky missing nearly half the game due to foul trouble… I think all three come back for some revenge.
