Why?
I guess because Mckay went there to Coach

I love UVA because I was a part of that school before I came to LU. I can see the frustration that everyone has with UVA. It is not because of the school it is what McKay did and that was leave for a school that you won against :lol: Once you leave then you take the top recruit that committed to LU with you. I know that is the name of the game but everything he said about how he felt about the school is contradicted in his actions.
I understand the frustration with McKay... but not with UVA

Soko would be a great get for LU and a good one for for VCU. I think Bennett will take some flack if he signs him. He's a borderline ACC prospect.

UVA will not recruit Soko, please, it looks like both Jontel Evans and Spurlock follow thru with their commitment according to multiple sources on the Sabre. Also, Espn has an article connecting UVA and Deshawn Painter (prepped this past year), commited to FLorida last year but backed out. Article has UVA in the lead for him which would mean that the Hoos would have to boot someone jsut to make room for Painter who was a 4 **** recruit. Soko is not in UVA's recruiting unless a lot of wild things happen

Not really.

Maine hiring Rocco and then signing our top recruit would be more appropo.

In all honesty, I feel like Layer will want his own guys with the exception of JVP. I wouldnt be the least bit surprised to have all completely different people than we have listed. I mean noyone had anything on the kid that signed today. Might as well just sit back and let the cards fall. I wasnt a huge fan of the Layer hire but I will give him a fair shake to see what he can do (especially with the tough situation that Mckay left him).

You may be able to rub it in a little mor now that Rodriguez is gone and Sanders on the way out as well. I feel for VCU...they are going through what we have been going through lately. The only difference is that they have had a good ride the past five years.

That is what I was trying to say. It is just that McKay left a bad taste in everyones mouth and that is the school he landed at. So, unfortunately everyone hold a grudge witht he school as well. Like I said I love UVA and always will but I will see how my feelings sort themsevles out when basketball season rolls around again. I do know that I will wear LU stuff every time I go to a game there.

I thought you said he was strongly considering comming back to the Hill. It would break my heart if he left...even more than when I hear Seth was leaving. I was happy to hear that Floyd is comming back now I have to hear this. Is there going to be an end to this madness :shock:

:dontgetit Faux pas is French for "false step" or "false move". In English it is used to refer to a blunder.
Do you and I really need to have another English disagreement? It's not always extreme as a blunder. It can be used to show a cultural no-no such as bad manners. If you're eating with your mouth open it's a faux pas in most places that thinks that's gross. If you let the door close behind you and slam in the face of someone, that is a faux pas. If you're taking recruits with you that verbaled to your old school, that is a faux pas.

Yeah, I'm on the boat, on deck with flippy-floppies, dolphins, etc etc. Just taking a little break over to the football thread. Way too much drama over here. Who knew basketball was this way, I sure didn't. Give me a bunch of manly-men football players smacking each other around ANY DAY. I KNOW it's not the same situation, but three of their coaches left and you didn't hear all this whining and "I'm gonna leave" and "wah wah wah". :dramaqueen
