The
battle for the second Elton B is over, and UVa, having lost the first time,
won the second, and so Elton Brown is going to be going to Virginia next
year. So UVa continues to put every piece on the table except for a
center. It's increasiingly clear (to us anyway) that a better-than-average
bigman could join up and the supporting cast could really elevate his
game. Congratulations to Pete Gillen. He's building a very impressive
program.
Along those lines, let us add that a while back we said that with 66.6% job
turnover among ACC coaches, some instability was inevitable. But there are
signs of progress with all six new coaches. The ACC had a rough
transition, but the end is in sight.
