Hoos Hoopin' S2E5: The End of Summer - ACC Realignment, Recruiting Updates, and Schedule Reactions

The guys are back to wrap up the summer with some of the biggest news that's impacted the UVA basketball team since their last episode. Khari and Sean open up the pod celebrating 1000 plays of Hoos Hoopin and quickly get into the biggest ACC news of the summer, 3 new teams joining the conference. Khari and Sean debate the pros and cons of adding Stanford, Cal, and SMU to the conference, who they would have wanted instead or would target next, and what these moves mean for the Wahoos. The guys pivot into a recruiting discussion highlighting a recent commitment from 4-star big man Jacob Cofie and the unfortunate news of prized recruiting target Kon Knueppel, a 5-star 2-guard/wing, electing to attend Duke instead of Virginia. They briefly cover the pain of Kon's decision but get back to a hopeful note that may come with the Class of 2025. To wrap up the pod, the guys give their initial reactions to the full season schedule as both fans and season ticket holders.
