## Resource

Virginia Hoops Poised for Big Season: Coach Odoms Core Intact, New Talent Added Virginias mens basketball team had a breakout year last season, and first-year coach Ryan Odom is looking to build on that success. The teams offseason plan was to keep the core intact while adding talent through transfers and high school recruits. The roster is nearly set, with seven guards leading the charge, including holdovers like Chance Mallory and Sam Lewis, plus new additions Christian Harmon and Jurian Dixon. Fans and analysts are excited about the potential of guys like Mallory, who could step into starting roles and explode, and Lewis, who brings elite shooting. The teams frontcourt is anchored by All-ACC returner De Ridder, but depth there relies on unproven talents like Silas Barksdale stepping up. At center, Johann Grunloh returns, and the team has added four-star Favour Ibe, who brings size and potential despite his light experience. With this mix of vets, transfers, and fresh faces, Virginia looks primed to contend deep in the ACC come the 2026-2027 season. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
