We don’t know how to “close” a basketball game

When it’s “crunch” time. It’s getting old, but at least we’re playing well enough to win a lot more games if we figured out how to close better

Has anyone heard anything about RB Savion Hiter the

Louisa County 5 star kid who committed to Michigan, decommitted at least is considering the Hokies? There is a rumor circling locally there that this MAY not be just a rumor? This kid is an amazing athlete who would easily be the best RB on our roster ** Edited by Hokeedokee at 2/6/2026, 5:21:04 PM

I’m not embarrassed one bit. It was not financially

Viable for us to do it given the priorities at the time. We were not the only program who had a new lpractice facility without a/c and maybe things have changed enough where it makes sense financially for us to do it

Semantics. He signed a contract obligating him to

Play football for Duke which enabled him to collect NIL income from whatever source would pay him in exchange for use of his name and likeness. He may win the lawsuit for that issue but Duke is suffering harm and should at least get compensation for him violating the contract at the last minute, perhaps and probably affecting Dukes ability to get a different QB with similar/equal skills. College football is broken because of - what else- greed and money

I said he gets “income from Duke”

What I should have said is he gets income from whoever uses his name and likeness while playing football for Duke.

I’m no lawyer but this is so simple, to me….Mensah gets income from

from Duke for use of his name and likeness while playing football for Duke, and no one else . In order for Mensah to get that income he agreed to play football for Duke. If he does not play football for Duke he broke the terms of his contract and Duke has every right to be compensated for that and this late in the game Duke IS suffering harm they cannot recoup so they are due damages. But…won’t be at all surprised to see Duke get NOTHING here.

If the contract both parties signed in good faith

means nothing to Mensah and his agent then1) Duke doesn’t need to pay him or do anything else for him that was in the so-called contract, and 2) then NO contract between any player and any school is legitimate. This situation is total bullcrap.

Agree. It will be a miracle on Franklins part if we finish

This coming season Top 15 for the reasons you stated plus others like major injury to Grunk, etc.

I’m beginning to think he’s not coming to VT

No proof but most of the time something that drags on this long with no communication from the school or the recruit this far into the window is a bad sign. Hope to be wrong

It’s not real until vT announces that he has

Signed on the dotted line. Not heard that that had happened. I stand to be corrected if someone can provide HARD evidence

Plus they make NO self inflicted mistakes

that kill momentum, sabotage themselves etc. maybe one day we will play this smart again/too. Hell of a well coached team

Or Frank Beamer, Hall of Fame Head Coach

Architect of everything significant in the VT football and VT Athletics celebrating 24 straight Bowl games, 10 ten win seasons in a row, one quarter away from winning the D1Natty , etc. etc.

It’s the

It’s the QUALITY of the players more so than he quantity. I’ve seen no results on the field yet to tell me our coaches benefit at all from the transfer portal. The playing field was and remains tilted to the programs with all the money.

It’s already dead if you consider winning football games is “alive”.

I love our Hokies but we’re a perpetual “also ran” for years now. Versus the program we used to be we are dead as Kelsey’s nuts

Because we're not talented or coached well enough to be more than

average at this point, not to mention the fact that we have demonstrated we do not know how to win close games any more

A recruiter?? He was hired to WIN football games.Recruiting is part of task

He has proven to be an average or slightly better recruiter and a below average WINNER and a far BELOW average winner when he game is on he line

The TREND matters. Why does 2024 matter more than the 10 year trend?

Come back with your POV in another 5+ years and the trend will tell you how much 2024 matters

INEXCUSABLE to EVER have 2 of same number on field..

Just DO NOT give 2 players the same number for ANY reason...PERIOD. Having this issue is moronic.

Pry SHOULD lose his job if he doesn’t replace Bowen. If he can’t figure

That out he isn’t HC material here or anywhere else. The offense is TOTALLY predictable and juvenile in it’s design. Talent is wasted . No team can be the least bit concerned about us shoving the ball down their throats. It’s almost pathetic.

Next year WILL be a struggle with No Liz, no Georgia no Strack plus of new

faces with limited expertise. Imagine if we had played the entire season last year without our All Americans…..Duffy will have her hands full and patience will be the name of .next year’s game. No way around it
