2021 Recruiting: Landers Nolley

[navery12]

He’s not taking minutes from any of the players on the roster who play the 2-4 position. Why would I not want a guy who would give us some production? I just don’t think that he’d do that here.

Sure you're entitled to think that, but Vaughn was going to come in and start over all of those guys?

Vaughn was exactly the type of player this team could’ve used. A big guard who could play the 2-4, who could rebound, shoot respectably from outside, and drive with authority.

 

[Brochacho]

I don't mind Nolley sitting. Might be tough to integrate 3 scorers into the team at once (Cole, Nolley, Jackson) while working Polley back into the rotation.

 

[Waquoit]

If it doesn't start until next year, why bother?

 

[87Xfer]

it's a moot point. if the transfer rule wouldnt go into effect until 2021 we cant take nolley and martin. this news mightve just turned our season upside down.

That seems a bit extreme. It's not like the roster's in dire straights if we don't land two more big impact players for next season. It's going to be a fun season to watch regardless of how this plays out IMHO.

 

[Brochacho]

there's no way on earth hurley redshirts 2 guys again. we'd be starting out with 11 scholarship players not to mention akok missing half the season, at least. hurley had to do that last year with cole and springs and look how it turned out

Yeah - no chance Hurley doesn't have 12 guys suited up for opening night. I think Nolley is the only guy on the transfer market we are after who is worth sitting out a year.

 

[bendm]

was the wink contingent on the transfer rule going into effect next season??

I don’t either. Cole, Gaffney, Bouknight, Adams, Jackson, Polley, Springs, Whaley, Carlton, and Ferguson is lots to work with.

 

[87Xfer]

Agreed

Hurley’s not gonna get 2 transfers that play practically the same position who both might not get a waiver. Vaughn was plan B and Martin plan C for the big guard. Things looking good with Nolley so Hurley moves on from Vaughn but keeps in good touch with Martin who we have a good shot with. The 2nd scholarship was always for a big, not 2 SFs. Room was cleared for a big man to reclass because maybe Hurley feels like with the uncertainty surrounding the future of high school basketball he could make a push to grab a quality big man a year early. Just my thoughts

the variable is Vaughn was grad transfer, so getting waiver not a concern

The boneyard tough guy..

No one forcing you to stay, sweetpea.

Head on out.

But tell us before you go, otherwise we really wouldn’t even notice, would we?

Anyone else concerned about his percentages in conference? 34% FG, 25% 3pt, 44% efg is 15% lower than Whaleys.

 

[Psolo12]

Jake doesn't know squat. I say it all the time. Please stop listening to him. Guys on the Yard truly know more than him

I you think Jake doesn't know anything you're an idiot. He's very plugged in and botched one story out of the 1000s he's written and he's young. He's got a good relationship with alot of kids and coaches.

No. Lot of bad shots. Team didn’t have much to work with. He didn’t play his natural position. That would all be corrected in a better system with good coaching.

Any chance sid pulls his name out of the portal now that he’s gonna hafta sit out again?

I'd think it's more likely he pulls a Grimes and "chooses" his new school when there's no more scholarship here and he's immediately eligible (in theory)

 

[bendm]

he commits when theres no more scholarship here or at vtech? i'm hoping we get his silent verbal but he doesnt officially commit until vtech fills all their open schollys

Would be smart on his part if he did that, he’s in a tough spot now

That’s the loop hole

That question was in regards to Sid. But could definitely apply the same to Nolley, and if the loophole works that's absolutely what should happen

This is just not true, Jake has obvious relations with these guys that are his age because they can relate to them. Idk why dudes on here don’t get that.

Guess we are going to have to start following Virginia techs scholarship situation now

He's botched SEVERAL. pay attention. I can make predictions too and be correct 40% of the time

 

[Waquoit]

1000's? I only know one of his stories. And reminds of that punchline: You only have to blank one blank to be a blank blanker. (Didn't make it through the profanity filter)
