Talk about trading up…
Couldn’t play for our dumpster fire but there is a spot for him at UVA.
Good Lord.

Good move for Dante. Can continue his academic and basketball career. Wish him nothing but the best.

I hope he does great on and off the Court.
We can’t afford another APR hit…

Very surprised that Bennett wanted him but he will 100% get more out of Dante then Ewing did. The more we see Primo, the more it’s clear that Dante’s poor play may not have been on him as much as it was on Ewing. Best wishes to the kid.

Dante’s first practice under a real coach will be shocking.

Wishing Dante the best. It will be interesting to see if and how he must adjust his game. No matter how frustrating the current PG can be I don’t forget that Dante suffered from the same ball dominant tendencies. Makes me wonder if that is what the coach wants in a PG.

The more we see Primo, the more it’s clear that Dante’s poor play may not have been on him as much as it was on Ewing. Best wishes to the kid. Makes sense. Their undersized point guard Kiehei Clark will be graduating and I’m sure it helped that Dante’s high school coach, Curtis Staples Hitch 3pt shot is a UVA legend. Surprised you are back tracking on Dante after all the horrible things you have been saying about him for the last 3 years. That was the one thing you actually seemed right on (that Dante isn’t a high major point guard). You should stick to your conviction or it just makes you seem weak and flighty and your analysis unreliable. |

Yahoo Wahoo Dante! Great choice from a whole lot of perspectives. Dante will have the rest of this year to get comfortable with the system and be ready to roll next on an excellent, well coached team! I am seriously happy for him...........and for sending a bit of a message to Patrick Ewing that some folk still think that Dante can ball!

Wow! Congrats to Dante for going to the #2 team in college basketball and a phenomenal school! He’s gone from Pat’s disaster of a team which probably will end its season early in March to a possible FF team. |

Talk about an upgrade! I’ll be at UVA next year so hopefully will get to see him play in person. I’m almost certain that Bennett will get more good Dante than bad Dante.

I am seriously happy for him...........and for sending a bit of a message to Patrick Ewing that some folk still think that Dante can ball! I like that he ends up at the top of Div. 1 basketball and that the Thompson/Ewing-first threesome cannot dismiss him as a less talented player who ended up at Cal something. |

I think a great deal of that was Dante taking hold of his own destiny and not letting Ewing dictate his fate. If you leave midseason, you have first-mover advantage, if you wait to be run off at the end of the year, you are damaged goods. |

Excited that I can now have a high major team i can support for the next two years. Good luck to Dante, I will be checking out more of their games and cheering for them in the tourney at least as long as he is there.
