As long as there is not a bump in the road in the first round of the NCAAs versus Southcentral Upstate Florida Panhandle Widgetmaking Tech, I am okay with some hiccups here and there.

Who thinks next year is going to be bad? Certainly not me. I'm excited about the guys on campus and the guys coming in. With the possibility of losing DSR as well as four seniors I would imagine a slight dip. Especially losing a true center and the defense that Jabril brings to the table. Think a lot of people on this board undervalue Hopkins. Think he is going to be solid this year. I don't envision a Henry Sims type jump....but think he will be good this year.

And Govan and Derrickson are coming in. Trawick is graduating, Bowen is gone and our "true center" that couldn't stay eligible or play heavy minutes will be leaving as well. But Peak, Copeland, Campbell, Mourning, and White will have a year under their belts and Govan and Derrickson and possibly another guard coming in? I see no drop-off.

I'm eager to see if Hayes can make a jump to contributing meaningful minutes this year. That would be a huge help this year and next.

I agree with Eastcoast that this "should" be a year of very high expectations. There is a lot of quality depth..for the first time in awhile. There is also skill, size, and athleticism up and down the lineup. Further, although I hope I am wrong...not sure who in the BE is all that strong (maybe Nova.) So, yeah...I agree the time is NOW. Obviously, the frosh will be better as sophs...but not sure with the way recruiting is going, that we will be as deep next year. Yes, it will be a shame to replace Josh Smith with a Top 50 recruit and Aaron Bowen with a Top 100 recruit. And man, I don't know how LJ Peak will possibly step into Jabril Trawick's shoes. Losing Smith, Trawick, Hopkins and Bowen are not small losses. But we are actually decently equipped to handle those in '15-16.

Thanks for all the reports and discussion! Any reason why this is in the recruiting sub-forum??
Edit: Thanks Dan!!

It's nice to hear good things about our players and all, but these scrimmage reports are usually worthless. They're always positive and never substantive because no one posting was actually there.

That's not entirely true. They aren't always positive -- at least if you know what you are looking for. For several years, we've had "won some sets, lost some" or "probably would have lost more than we won." If we did look impressive against UVA, that's not nothing. And the player by player have generally signaled something positive. I'm not saying Reggie Cameron is going to blow up, but if he have a good game versus UVA, that's a positive, too. It's hardly definitive, but these sparse reports are often directionally correct. But not surprisingly, they aren't usually wildly different than what we expect.

LOL. Gotta be a pretty tough life to not only always see the black clouds but to compound that by constantly going out of your way to point out the black clouds to everyone else. "Look everyone it's gonna rain on your parade! Yay!"

BS. They are not always positive. I can recall ones in which the reporting directly pointed out or indicated the Hoyas had "lost". So stop trying to rain on every parade that shows up on this forum for goodness sakes. That said....of course you don't want to put too much stock on the outcome of a scrimmage, whether the results are good or bad. Nonetheless you'll always prefer the former over the latter.

Apparently the starting lineup was DSR, Jabril, Peak, Hopkins, Smith.

It wouldn't surprise me if JTIII sticks with Hopkins as a starter, and that's the most likely place. All that said, I would be surprised if by the end of the season, Copeland and White aren't getting the majority of minutes there.
