Around the Corner 9/30: Jonas Sanker having a breakout season, De’Andre Hunter primed for big fourth year, and Ty Jerome traded
Sep 30, 2022 - 3:20 PMGood morning to all my fellow Virginia Cavaliers on this windy and cloudy Friday. Hope you all are ending your weeks on a high note before this weekend’s Wahoo festivities.

Good perspective here on Dre heading into his fourth year and what should prove critical as he hopes to get a pay day with his second NBA contract.
Ty Jerome not expected to remain with Rockets — Inside the Rockets
It’s been a weird 24 hours for Ty Jerome as he was traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Houston Rockets and will now be waived by Houston. The Thunder were clearly trying to get under the salary cap while the Rockets already have maxed out their roster spots. Stay tuned to see where Jerome ends up next as he enters his fourth NBA season as well.

Was surprising to see Xavier Brown only get four snaps at Syracuse. Hopefully he can get the offense some tough yards versus Duke tomorrow.

Student perspective
With Hurricane Ian hitting the west coast, the weather is murky here in Charlottesville today. Although that’s nothing that Bodo’s and a couple hours of homework can’t fix!
Most students will be heading home today with reading days on Monday and Tuesday. Yet, yours truly will be in Charlottesville for the duration. It’s always funny how different Grounds is when it’s empty like this and the majority of the student body isn’t around. Makes me feel like Harry Potter at Hogwarts on Christmas. Fortunately, that means there shouldn’t be any real waits for food spots on the corner.
That’s all from me today. Wishing you all a great weekend full of Virginia wins (looking at you, football) and I’ll catch you back in this space on Monday morning!
Be the first!
