Virginia Basketball Retains Core, Eyes Portal Targets

Virginias mens basketball team, led by Coach Ryan Odom, has retained most of their core from last seasons 30-win squad, losing only four players. With seven returners, including guards Chance Mallory, Sam Lewis, and Elijah Gertrude, and forwards Silas Barksdale, Martin Carrere, Thijs De Ridder, and center Johann Grünloh, they have filled about half of their fifteen spots. Odoms retention skills have earned praise, and they are targeting NC States Cole Cloer and Matt Able. Key needs include a big man for defense, a backup point guard, and a versatile wing. With the transfer portal still open, Virginia aims to boost depth and make another deep run. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
