Virginia going down playing horrible basketball again. They're not good this year. Period. We'll at minimum be 9th.

Yet people like Joseph Goodman refuse to vote us higher than Butler or SDSU because we haven’t beaten any ranked teams yet neither have those two

Little slow period here. Let's discuss recruiting and next season.

Losses 100%
Wiley
McCormick
Doughty
Purifoy
McLemore

Potential losses 50/50%
Okoro
Franklin (speculation but seems like the most crowded position group. PT transfer possibly?)

Additions
Cooper
Moore
Powell
TBD (need a F/C and SG for sure)

Potential lineups
Pg- cooper/jones
Sg- Johnson/Powell/jones
F- okoro/cambridge/flanigan
Pf- cambridge/williams/moore
C- akingbola

What is missing/wrong?

Why would Franklin leave? He has a good shot at moving into playing time next year?

With Liberty going to Baton Rouge there will probably be only 2 left after Sunday.

Normally I would think the law of averages says they won't slip up against another mid-major after two losses, but they seem to be as pedestrian as Mississippi State right now. And Liberty ain't no joke.

Jon Wilner didn’t even vote for us this week, despite having us #18 last week

Wilner is historically a weird voter but he typically has some argument and it is arguably consistent. Specifically, he said on Twitter he thinks we have a weak schedule w no elite wins and limited top Opponents.

Based on that criteria, he at least seems consistent w his rankings considering who is in his top 25 and their opponents

I’m not buying his explanation. I think he forgot about Auburn, then doubled down on his no-vote with a weak schedule excuse

bullshite. There’s plenty of teams in his top 25 with a worse resume than Auburn. That’s a weak excuse for a guy doing a shitty arse job

The ranking will take care of itself throughout conference play.

I’m not convinced we have a top 10 team but there’s a lot of writers doing mental gymnastics to keep us off their ballots
