Football Transfer Commitment!

UVa's first spring addition comes in the secondary, with Cincinnati DB Jordan Robinson set to sign with Virginia. Robinson spent one year at a JUCO, then two at Kentucky before this last year at Cincinnati. He played in 10 games for the Bearcats and had 18 tackles. He's a big corner, at 6-foot-4, 210 pounds.

Virginia takes another big step toward winning the Smithfield Commonwealth Clash

Virginia WLAX defeated VT 19 - 9, and I am taking some of the credit. I was torn between watching the game and doing some work on my computer. Naturally I started with the game, and the Hokies scored the first two goals, so I jumped on my computer. When I came back to the game, Virginia had a 6 -3 lead. I figured Virginia was better off without me watching. After watching Tech score again, I went back to my computer. This happened a couple more times until I believed that the game was about over. With just a couple more minutes to play, Virginia was ahead 18 - 7, and almost immediately Tech scored twice, before I finally saw Virginia score a goal. It was good that I was busy, or Virginia fans might have seen another Boston College debacle.

Someone call Nico’s agent

Tell them we will give 2 mill with a 1 mill bonus if the team beats tech. He can sit out the playoffs and acc championship if he wants. If he stays two years and beats tech twice with one at tech his escalator clause includes a statue in the front of the stadium, free box seats for life, and a complimentary free athlete degree from UNC. I think that’s a heck of a deal and well worth the money lol.

Transfer Cornerback Target...

UVa is set to host Stanford transfer Julian Neal on a visit (Chris Hummer from 247 first to report) Neal transferred from Fresno State to Stanford in the offseason and reentered the portal last week after the coaching change at Stanford. UVa will have to fight off a lot of other schools for this one as Neal will be one of the top available defensive players in the spring portal window, but we've been hearing that Virginia is still pretty flush with NIL resources so maybe that will give them a puncher's chance here. There's certainly a need at the position especially now that Jam Jackson is sidelined.

Braxton Key

I was blown away when I saw this tweet and then found this article that Key has improved so much. I knew he had been in the NBA briefly with Detroit and Philly, but didn't realize he had a 20 game run with Denver and now is with Golden State and did so well in the G league this year. Real testament to not only his work ethic and commitment, but also the foundation that Tony Bennett built for so many players that have made it to the NBA that nobody would have guessed would have been able to. Of course he's had the higher profile ones like Brogdon, Hunter, Murphy, etc.., but there are also those like Key, Guy, Jerome, Beekman, Gill, Tobey, Perrantes, etc that all have played in the NBA (and those like Jerome, Gill and now Key have stuck around for many years). I hope Odom can develop the same track record.

Sam Hauser

Today going 3-3 from the line finished the season 8-8 on Free Throws (or 11-11 if today's stats aren't included in the ESPN season totals) to become only the 3rd player ever (min of 1000 minutes played). Pritchard was 21-21 when he did it a few years ago. Tony Snell was 32-32 in 19/20 and 11-11 the following year so he did it twice. Hard to believe Hauser attempted so few free throws.

HOOSIERS RECOLLECTIONS

Last night after watching a delayed recording of the Braves game, I was not sleepy and was longing for the days when UVA Basketball was actually relevant so I got on Amazon Prime and watched Hoosiers again for about the tenth time. Two question for Board members: (1) Early on 2 players walked off at the first practice, leaving five. Then one player was brought back by his father bringing the number on the team to 6. Then Jimmy came back making 7. By the time of the regional final and the championship game there were 8 players on the tram, with the 8th player being apparently the first kid who walked off who came back. But that other player rejoining the team was never explained in the movie. Anyone know the story behind that? (2) In the championship game, the game action seemed to go right through to the 4th quarter with no halftime and no halftime score or speech or strategy like in many other games they played. Anyone know why that happened? Great movie but have noticed that flaw several times on rewatching, sort of like Bruce Willis' tee shirt changing colors halfway through n the first Diehard movie.

2025 Spring Game Thread

Greetings from a chilly and overcast Scott Stadium, where we're set for the Blue/White game at Noon. Game will be broadcast on ACCN.

Usually UVa gives us a comprehensive list of guys that won't play today, when we get closer to kickoff. If we get it, I'll post it here. Here's the official roster from UVa: https://storage.googleapis.com/virginiasports-com/2025/04/2025-UVA-Football-Spring-Game-Rosters.pdf

We'll have updates here throughout the game today. The format is pretty close to a regular game. Four quarters, the first 1.5 quarters will be normal clock and then they'll go to a running clock the rest of the game. There will be TV timeouts and a shorter halftime. QB's will be in no-contact orange jerseys.

Transfer Commitment! UVa lands UC Irivine Forward Devin Tillis

UVa landed their first commitment out of the dead period this evening, with UC Irvine forward Devin Tillis choosing Virginia. Tillis entered the portal this week after finishing up in the NIT.

Tillis, an LA native, is a smaller forward who can stretch the floor and has been a solid rebounder. Tillis scored 13.7 points per game this year with the Anteaters, and grabbed 7.8 boards per game. He shot 39.5% from three as well. I'll update the projected roster and so on after I scarf down some food.
