The Beautiful Ballad of Devon Hall

Point guard, Bennett's bugaboo,

Player most hard to land;

Tony is very picky at the one,

Wahoo Nation must understand

Recruiting misses everywhere,

'Round the nation, far and wide;

Robinson, Felix, Gessel, Paige,

Can't say Tony never tried

Finally from the dark gray mists,

Of hopelessness and despair;

Steps a warrior poet named Devon Hall,

To Virginia's point guard position repair

Tall and quick, an athletic whip,

Handles, D, IQ;

Has a shot, attacks the rim,

Slick passes to the crew

Playmaker of elite regard,

Creates, distributes, leads;

No Duke flop nor Carolina chop,

Shall halt his mighty deeds

Jontel Evans shall hand the reins

Over to Mister Hall;

'12-'13 is Evans,

But in '13-'14 we'll ball

A complete point guard has always been

The token "missing piece;"

Now we have one, so look ahead,

Our consternation's decease

Understand how HUGE this is,

The jigsaw clicks in place;

This is all we've ever needed,

A player to excel in space

Wing scorers we already have in spades,

The bigs will develop too;

But running the point we now have a star,

Goodbye, Tony's bugaboo!
