UVa men’s basketball now in post-Bennett era + tracking women & pro hoos. Hot takes, deep cuts, civil discourse, evidence of Duke’s moral decay. Unafilliated.
That simple awesome retro big V tshirt again just as 🔥 in orange. Let me buy a dozen now!!! I'm heading to a huge uva buddy reunion in 2 weeks come ON!!!
Aldrich is a HUGE, unique asset to this program; those who look at Ryan Odom's track record should realize GA is additive to what Odom has had on staff in his last few still-successful program runs. Been so impressed by him so far & love his fire as well as his business acumen.

Wow.
Anonymous ACC Coach Takes Aim at UVA. @wahoojack06 is having none of it! Anonymous Coach, put your name to your criticism! #GoHoos thecavalierconnection.com/anonymous-acc-…
"He has an 'it' factor about him. He reminds me so much of Ty Jerome .. doesn't matter who he's with, kids or adults or donors or boosters or coaches .. He just cares about the people who are around him, & nobody's too big or too small .. that's a very, very special quality."
When Virginia head coach Ryan Odom was hired, he wasted no time in reaching out to local star Chance Mallory. "You know pretty quickly that he has a passion for this place... those types of players are like gold." 247sports.com/college/virgin…

News: Virginia’s Thijs De Ridder was just fully cleared and is eligible for two years of NCAA competition, source tells @CBSSports. Expected but still big for Ryan Odom in Year 1. De Ridder was a proven pro in Europe and could be one of the most impactful newcomers in the ACC.
Yup
NEWS: Virginia's Thijs de Ridder has been cleared for immediate eligibility by the NCAA, sources say. The 22-year-old power forward posted 9.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, shooting 39% for 3 in Spain's ACB this season. Should be an instant impact player for Ryan Odom.
