Preferred Walk Ons

Two guys named Michael talking all things ACC and college sports (with a UVA and NC State bias). Part of podcast network.

[Preferred Walk Ons @PWOPod]

New episode out talking about the #ACC's disappointing Regional round in baseball, weird scheduling quirks for basketball, the cancellation of #UVA & #NCState in Brazil, and planning the ultimate conference road trip for weekends in the fall.

UVA fans: Man, I wish I could see Milan Momcilovic shoot the lights out at JPJ next season!

@FFatson @Jarring_10 He said he had never seen him take a jumper. The video has him taking jumpers. I haven’t said anything else beyond that.

[Preferred Walk Ons @PWOPod]

This was the biggest missing piece on the #UVA roster from my perspective. The Hoos needed a competent ball-handler who can initiate the offense and play on/off the ball.

His size and length are added bonuses.

[Sam Kayser @KayserHoops]

NEWS: Loyola Marymount transfer Jan Vide has committed to Virginia, he told @LeagueRDY.

The 6-foot-6 guard out of Slovenia averaged 12.1PPG, 4.0APG and 3.0RPG this past season. Has also spent time at UCLA.

@FFatson @Jarring_10 Not sure what “agenda” you think is pushed or inaccurate by saying: “The Hoos needed a competent ball-handler who can initiate the offense and play on/off the ball. His size and length are added bonuses.”

@Jarring_10 Enjoy:

@GrantNoelsGhost As a back-up combo guard who averaged 12 PPG and was one of the best assisters in the WCC?

Yes.

Didn’t think it was possible to hate the Eagles more

[Ryan Fowler @_RyanFowler_]

Source: Eagles signed former East Carolina iDL Zion Wilson to a UDFA deal.

Terms of the deal include a $25k signing bonus and $225k in guaranteed money.

College Gameday doesn’t usually travel for Week 0, and if they did, they would probably choose to go to Ireland to cover UNC…

But what if ESPN instead used this as a chance to finally come to Charlottesville? 🤔🤔🤔

[Matt Brown @MattBrownEP]

what happens if the NC State/UVA Brazil game gets cancelled, according to the game contract:

[Preferred Walk Ons @PWOPod]

Big Week 0 news for the Hoos and the #ACC. UVA gets another home game…but this is an odd development.

[Preston Willett @PrestonWillett]

NEWS: UVA and NC State season opener originally located in Brazil will move to Charlottesville.

Date and time still TBD.

"This change follows communication from Athlete Advantage, which informed the ACC and participating schools that the event could not be conducted."

Virginia lands a top international big man commit in the class of ‘27, landing Mahamadou Landoure out of the NBA Academy

#UVA baseball ends its season with a 7-6 loss to Jacksonville State. The furious late rally comes up just short.

It’s been a rollercoaster season for the Hoos in Chris Pollard’s first season at the helm.

[Preferred Walk Ons @PWOPod]

#UVA baseball has a very NBA Jam feel to it (derogatory)

[Preferred Walk Ons @PWOPod]

A huge moment that decided this game.

[11Point7 College Baseball @11point7]

"I believe in ya. I love ya."

Virginia hitting coach Eric Tyler to Zach Jackson right before he delivers the go-ahead 2 run single to put Virginia ahead in Hattiesburg. COACHING!

#UVA eliminates host seed USM with a 15-11 win in extra innings.

Never in doubt.*

Watching #UVA baseball is penance for years of watching Tony Bennett’s defense lock teams down for so many years

[Preston Willett @PrestonWillett]

Little Rock scores 4 runs in the 9th inning to upset No. 9 national seed Southern Miss 7-4 to open the Hattiesburg Regional.

Winner of UVA and Jacksonville State will face Little Rock tomorrow.

[Brian Murphy @murphsturph]

Last year the teams didn't play in Chapel Hill for the first time in more than 100 years.
