De Ridder's eligibility decision (how many years?) doesn't concern me because he will be 1 and done to the NBA, and i'm fine with that.

Gonna be a big college hoops star, no ifs about it, only a when.

soooooo awesome. 👊🏼

Emma lost 😢

Hey Fran Fraschilla i consider you a supreme (Euro) hoops whisperer... any pov on De Ridder to Virginia Men's Basketball?

FANTASTIC.

Unique but sensible / even admirable, wrinkle woukd be nice to see more of. GET that Princeton degree - but no need to let it require missing out on lucrative $$ opportunities and extending your athletic career professionally. #ItsAllNew

#UVa coach Ryan Odom on loading up on high 3-point percentage shooters through the portal and what it means for his Hoos.

Agreed & we will know quickly. The inside-out -- & especially five out -- possibilities for this roster also seem to ensure that if you tried to jam & double up Thomas, you will be sorry. It's a POTENT offensive roster, w a guy who looks like a 30 pt threat on any given night.

ok NOW i'm losing respect / uva not being top 45 w the roster Odom has put together, is preposterous.

The Virginia men's basketball & baseball teams are looking so good right now. Hard to imagine a better situation given where things were just a few months ago, & it's hard to see these as anything less than home run hires. Of course it's early, but damn it's encouraging.

Frames of Coach Odom, Jacari White, Silas Barksdale and Dallin Hall from today's Summer Media Day‼️ 🔶⚔️🔷 #GoHoos

Today was my first opportunity to go to practice under Coach Odom. My concern after the resignation of CTB was preserving great culture. What I saw today was impressive on all fronts. ✅ Positive energy and camaraderie among guys who had never played together a month ago, was

The Hoos “know it’s going to take time gelling, but we’ve been .. just sticking with the process .. it’s the journey that makes this thing fun. This is a new era of college basketball, we’re not the only program to have a brand-new team coming together.” (Malik Thomas)

UVA roster: "Really experienced (old) players & incoming freshmen. Hall (22), White (23) & Thomas (23) are all older than de Ridder, as is Tillis (23)." For "new Virginia coach Ryan Odom, that’s a solid core .. They’ll likely vie with UNC & NC State as a top 3 ACC team."

“Our [new] style of play is a style that is befitting of a lot of different players around the country … If I’m a parent sitting in that living room, I’m thinking ‘Alright, I want to look at UVA.’” - Ryan Odom What a change. I loved the past - but VERY excited for the future.

REECE!!

"Growing up, Virginia was my dream school."

“He’s a great dude, super funny, charismatic. Everybody will love him. As a basketball player, he’s done it at a high level overseas. He’s a great baller, he can score it at all 3 levels & will be a great defender. He has NBA physicality tools." Devin Tillis on Thijs De Ridder

Never gets old.
