With college basketball practice underway across the country, Preston Willett from The Sabre is joined by Virginia men’s basketball assistant coach Isaiah Wilkins before the team’s Blue-White Scrimmage.
Isaiah talks about the preseason getting underway, reuniting with former teammate Kyle Guy on the coaching staff, and their dynamic. Then Isaiah dives into what the offseason was like for the Cavaliers from the moment they lost in the NCAA Tournament First Four to the transfer portal to adjustments being made to the offense. Finally, Isaiah gives updates on players and who might surprise fans the most this year.

Great interview… couldn’t hear Isaiah’s pick for who could surprise people in Blue/White scrimmage.. around minute 28:50. Now I’m curious who he picked. Was it Dai Dai Ames, Warley? I could see Anthony Robinson surprising people. Some not nice posts on The Sabre board last year on Anthony, basically saying he’s a project and even still saying he’ll be lucky to play any minutes. I think they’re dead wrong.
Maybe show Anthony some of those naysayers posts to light him up. He has potential to be a big piece in the next 3 years toward TB bringing together the talent to make another serious run for NCAAT Championship #2 !
Hey !
Hope you can see my reply above – your site said I had to be logged in to comment- Not able to copy paste my comment- great interview! At minute 22:50 I think- couldn’t hear who Isaiah picked in reply to your ? – Who will surprise fans/people in the Blue/White scrimmage. I believe this year will be a year when naysayers on Anthony Robinson will be served up humble pie courtesy of Mr. Robinson. I think Tony Bennett is pulling together pieces to make a 2nd serious run to NCAAT Championship #2, which we will see Anthony Robinson being a huge part of achieving that level of play!
Ishan Sharma is who Coach Wilkins mentioned in the answer to that question, mainly because he can get hot shooting the basketball.
