UVA Basketball: Odom adds veteran point guard Jan Vide from LMU

We’re going to need to wait for the updates to the too-early Top 25s after this latest addition to the UVA Basketball roster, Jan Vide, a 6’6” point guard who averaged 12.1 points and 4.0 assists per game this past season at Loyola-Marymount.

Think: Dallin Hall, who can score in bunches.

A look at Vide’s season numbers shows he didn’t do much from long-range – just 1.1 three-point attempts per game, and he shot 32.3 percent from three.

Vide’s 75.3 percent free-throw rate suggests that he could do more from three, with some work.

He did most of his damage last season in the paint, averaging 7.9 paint points per game, per data from CBB Analytics, ranking in the 96th percentile nationally.

LMU didn’t play a lot of money games last season, but Vide, in their games against NCAA Tournament teams:

• Dec. 28, Saint Mary’s: 14 points, 7-of-14 2FG, 0-of-0 3FG, 0-of-3 FT, four rebounds, no assists/no turnovers
• Jan. 4, Gonzaga: six points, 3-of-11 2FG, 0-of-1 3FG, one rebound, no assists/three turnovers
• Jan. 10, Santa Clara: four points, 2-of-5 2FG, 0-of-1 3FG, 0-of-2 FT, one rebound, two assists/one turnover
• Jan. 31, Santa Clara: six points, 2-of-4 2FG, 0-of-1 3FG, 2-of-2 FT, four rebounds, no assists/four turnovers

Alright, so, not great in those games.

He went for 20+ points four times, had five-plus assists 11 times.

This addition completes the work for 2026-2027.

This is a Top 10 team.
