VT's Kerry Blackshear enters transfer portal
- Thread starter IndyCat1995
- Start date
There’s an article on bleacher report saying that they don’t have him in their top 75.
I realize it’s bleacher report, but if someone with experience in evaluating the draft says you’re not even top 75, I’m betting you don’t go first round.
I know he really turned it on late this season, but he has been a damn solid 4 for two years now. I don't understand why he isn't a first rounder now, but I'm fine with it.
UK will put him on a grand stage all season long and put him into a pro style system that will change his trajectory.
I’ll preface by saying I thought Travis could be player of the year here.
Travis being 6’8 with a short wingspan and limited vertical held him back.
He still had a very good season for us.
Black sheer is 610 and more athletic with a better offensive game.
The ACC is much better than the pack 12 to say the very least.
I think if black sheer comes here, he is a legit all American contender
I dont think there is any way that we pass MSU for #1 to start the season. Unless they have a departure from one of their top guys. I'm fine with that though.
I posted this earlier, dude balled out in the NCAA Tourney (Pretty good company)
2019 NCAA East Region All-Tournament Team:
Cassius Winston, Michigan St
Xavier Tillman, Michigan St
Zion Williamson, Duke
RJ Barrett, Duke
Kerry Blackshear Jr., VA Tech
Travis was amazing here but he never had the athletic stuff to make some one go OOOOOHHH AHHHHH and so forth. He was a workman who fought like hell and was very smart on and off the court.
This kid is 6'11 and is long as hell and is freakish when its comes to some of the stuff he can do . Still completely perplexed how he isn't a top 30 prospect. I mean I watched VT play maybe 10 games last season and thought holy crap every time I saw this kid play . One play he would hit a 3 , the next he back down and guy and dunk on him then the next he get the ball at the top of key take 2 dribbles do a spin move and then lay it in. He is good.
Yeah, he’s a helluva player. I’ve probably watched Va Tech 7-8 times by virtue of rooting against Duke, UVA, etc and the ACC/NCAA tournament.
Every time I’ve thought I’d love to have him. Never dreamed it would be possible.
It wasn’t just the highlight plays. Reid had a hard time Getting his shot off versus length. That limited his offense. Black sheer won’t have that problem.
UK is going after him..I think we can forget Hurt and McDaniels..This guy would make us #1 imo.. 6'10 250
Would love it to be a shooter.....any chance that Wofford dude wants to stick around another year?
6’10 I would hope he would block some. Richards blocked forty or fifty shots this season so I would think he could match that or better.
Blackshear is going to be 7'4 by page 10.
0.8 blocked shots per game. Maybe he has more than that in him, though.
Except he has played three seasons of college basketball and never averaged one block.
Yeah I just looked it up also, kinda disappointed but I at least he can rebound and score in the paint.
He’s the Rafters version of Paul Bunyan and he’s not even been in the portal 24 hours
This is on KSR
Jordan Brown, forward/center, Nevada (sit out next year, three years of eligibility remaining)
Could UK be interested in this one ?

0.7 blocks per game. Although I think maybe Reid gave Cal the confidence to play big more big men who aren’t shot blockers. The defense was still very very good and he was a big part of it because he was always in the correct position.
I don't think I have ever seen him block a shot and I watched play maybe 15 times. He is a great player but not that kind at all. Richards might lead the SEC in blocks next season as he really got better at it this season but Blackshear won't bring that . Which is fine . EJ and Richards will get their share of them.
And a triple double machine. Hell, he should be in the lottery in the draft. He is good.
Just curious how Sestina feels reading this. Partner in crime or thief of PT?

I would LOVE to have him...but his weird habit of only walking on the front of his feet and never letting his soles touch the ground is going to drive my OCD crazy and bug the crap out of me haha

Highly doubt we even get very involved. Sounds like he might jump to the pros if the right opportunity comes along this year. Otherwise I think there is a pretty stong chance he stays at VT. If he were to transfer, he will likely look for a less crowded roster situation and opportunity to be more of a focal point. Our roster is pretty much set at this point barring a suprise reclass.
I was kind of looking forward to going a little smaller with EJ and four guys out beyond the arc to free things up for drives as I think it will be a strength next year. But this guy is a stud and if he comes I say power it inside.
We have already gotten involved.
If he were to come here, I think he is still a huge part of the offense. He would absolutely start for us.
he would be the go-to guy. he’s 2nd team all acc. he’d start for us last year.
