Lighten up, Francis. My comment was only a numerical comparison had nothing

To do with the ability of either coach to recruit it’s just a statement about the numbers the ratings

In this day of out of control NIL I can’t imagine that there aren’t several

And VT is not $$ heavy to be able to do much to sweeten the pot for players talking about flipping

I sincerely hope that we can keep the number 33 and that we can get the 15

There’s a lot of time for LSU and some of the others can start working on those kids but that is a good sign. We are getting interest from players of that level and that’s a good thing.

Not really. We had been getting recruits in 50-100 range. Even Liz was only

#33. It seems to me that we are in that same position. It would be good, outwardly speaking, to be getting Top 30 kids.

There is always a learning curve from foreign players to the American game.

We had the one player last year that just never caught on. The quicker they catch on the more valuable they can become an Nigerian girl looks like a fighter, but you never know you know the saying looks like Tarzan plays like Jane.

Google translate can do some odd things. I know my girlfriend is Brazilian.

And I do not speak Portuguese nor does she speak English. I am tired of taking Google Translate to bed with us

I really like the way Franklin has spread out all the announcements for

Recruits. It might seem like we’re getting a new commitment every day but I’m betting that we had those commitments all along and he’s just putting them out one day just to keep us satisfied. Regardless good job we got a new team coming up.

I am certain that Whitt offered Kenny raises, etc., to stay. What

Disappoints Me about Kenny leaving is that he had the nucleus and the reputation at the time to be able to continue to grow this program. And it would be his program and it would be his legacy and now he’s just gonna be another SEC also ran with a couple more bucks in his pocket. That’s sad. legacy means a lot. ** Edited by DGHOKIE at 6/9/2026, 8:27:39 PM

Sometimes taking Nigel Munson costs you Stephan and Seth Curry

The point is that scholies are valuable and are not to be used just to add to the roster. Of course that was not Nigel. He was legit but the premise is the same

Do you really believe that no emphasis is placed on tall, I.e. post players

Regarding Trent, if she was good enough to get PT she would have gotten it. Regarding “Kayla”, I think you might mean Kayl

I love my Hokies who WANT to be Hokies. The ones who stay for their entire

eligibility because they love being Hokies. She doesn’t have to be the top scorer or rebounder. But the one I love will take the floor burns diving for a loose ball, take a painful charge from a behemoth. The Hokies I love never quit even if they don’t start. My Hokie does the work to support the team. Kayl was one. Whether fast enough or tall enough for many, I love her. She will always be a Hokie in my heart. I don’t love the quitters

In retrospect, a Brooksie played very well. Team on her back? Hardly. She

was hot at an important time. Players who finished their careers at VT did at other times

Run it up Herman. Leave no doubt

There is a point at which they can’t deny us. Other teams had better credentials than us

Stop the boo hooing. If we win a couple more games we are a host no bout

a doubt it. We were bubble with a prayer. Maybe Chip flirted with the Committee Chair’s wife … no. We just have to start winning more games against good teams. No cigar. But good season ladies. You are fun

Boo hoo hoo. Coach Duffy hasn’t got us the next Kitley. Woman can’t coach

we can’t compete with the teams that have a big. Probably wants to play a 5 guard lineup and run. Why won’t she get us a couple of bigs? One at least. Maybe John Blessing has a daughter. We automatically give scholarships to kids with Hokie parents
