Over the holiday, The Teej responded to a Bluesky meme thread with the first* Nathan Knight namedrop in the recorded history of that platform. Which made me smile, and then sent me down a Tribe hoops in the pros rabbit hole and led to this update on our boys' professional exploits.
* As if you're going to check to see if that's accurate. Just go with it, man.

Terry Tarpey's been a fixture in the French First Division since graduating from W&M. Now in his ninth season in France, Tarpey's become a role player for AS Monaco, averaging 2.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 0.8 steals in 17.5 minutes. He's also represented France in senior international competitions 33 times.
By the looks of things, Omar Prewitt's international hoops career has come to an end after eight seasons in Lithuania, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Germany, and Turkiye. He was second-team all-league in Poland in 2019 after averaging 18.3 points (3rd in the PLK), 6.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.2 steals in 30 PLK games, and won a Czech league title with Nymburk.
Despite averaging 13.3 points and 6.6 assists per game last season for VfL Bochum in Germany's top division, David Cohn appears to be without a team at the moment. Perhaps he'll follow the path of the next few Wrens.
Hofstra nemesis Daniel Dixon retired in 2022 to become an assistant coach with the Oklahoma City Blue. The Tribe to the Pros coaching pipeline is starting to get some legs, if you're into mixed metaphors.
Of benchside note, Jim Moran is the associate head coach of the Sacramento Kings, Sean Sheldon just moved to the front of the bench for the Utah Jazz, and Quinn McDowell is an assistant at Longwood.
These are the golden years, friends. The Tribe abides.

I wonder if living in Monaco is as nice as living in New Jersey.
Nathan Knight having himself a little Bonzi Wells-esque revival over in China, eh?
Has Tribe athletics figured out a way to use the nerd school athlete to coach pipeline in their recruiting pitches?
I was thinking of another former wrenballer who coached the Richmond women's hoops team, but it appears his coaching career is presently dormant.

Skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet?
