Message to the MBB Players
This message is posted in the event that one or more of the returning team does read this board.
To Nate, Justin, Matt, Andy, Luke, Jihar, Chase, LJ, Quinn, Mehkel, Thornton, Austin, Miodrag, and Cameron:
We live in a world of change and the challenges of reaching individual goals while finding groups we relate to and deeply belong to.
Besides the coaching staff and the attraction of a W&M degree, the opportunity to be the first W&M tournament participant and reap the attention and rewards, no doubt was a big factor in each of your decisions to commit to W&M. You still have the potential to fulfill that unique goal, either as the CAA tournament champion, or as an at-large selection. Collectively, there has never been a returning Tribe team with the talent and potential you have for a magical season.
Working towards and realizing individual goals are important, but there are no individual goals reached that are as satisfying as goals collectively reached with a team of your brothers.
As alum and fans, we will understand and support your individual decisions going forward because you will always be a part of the Tribe Family. W&M will be in the NCAA tournament at some point. It will occur in part because of hard work of past players, coaches and administrative staff. Bottom line, though, it won't be because of any one individual, and will ultimately be because of a unique team of players who collectively earned it. You, still, have that chance, if you commit to it together. As well as, the chance to honor the legacy of past players and coaches.
Best wishes going forward. Go Tribe!
