Posting History (24)

Yo, Clara Strack!

You know Elizabeth Kitley is on the WBB staff, right? Mentors student-athletes, works on NIL… Come on back! How fun would this be?

Cartier, we hardly got to know ya!

Oh man, what a promising piece to the team that never ever materialized.

Just read Cunningham’s article about ND game…

…and I’d really like to see a list of buzzer beaters that Tech has WON. Need to keep my spirits up and not wallow in the history of times luck wasn’t on our side. That SMU shot was crazy. Those rarely go in. Let’s move on (and hope the next game that comes down to the wire goes to overtime where VT will definitely prevail!)

Last seven VT shots before halftime were 3-pointers

Following along on phone so I don’t know if the team is getting wide open looks. Just feels like the team is settling for low-percentage shots. I guess with Gurdak and Hansberry foul trouble there is t a lot we can do around the paint.

Can we float a nice consulting fee to NAW to advise Neoklis?

Two years at VT weren’t detrimental to NAW! Is it too early to dream? Amani, Ben, Schutt, Tyler + Dorn/Gurdak. GREAT core! Run it back, Neo! Just need to (really) replace a Tobi-type of player. REALLY enjoying this season. Know Neo is most likely a one-and-done but loving how these guys are playing together.

VT Basketball resume so far

It’s just one opinion. But I saw it on Twitter and I like it! :) Get well soon, Tobi!!!

Nice Cartier Diarra reference!

Haven't thought about him in a while. Definitely remember that deflating feeling when he opted out after 4 games that season. ** Edited by MaroonAvenger at 6/11/2025, 11:06:36 PM

That thing about Bronny James wanting to play with Swinton at VT

Bronny is class of ‘23 Swinton is class of ‘24 So Bronny wants to come to VT to play with Swinton? So he comes a year early to eventually play with Swinton? But isn’t Bronny going to the NBA after his first year to join his dad on some team? Does any of this make sense? I don’t think it does. No guarantees Swinton ever makes it to VT. My son’s high school is in the same conference as Sierra Canyon. They beat Sierra Canyon three times this season, once while Bronny was injured. They have a guy committed to Houston, one to Duke and one to Gonzaga (Mercy Miller, Caleb Foster, Dusty Stromer). Bronny isn’t some can’t miss talent that can take over in games and will his team to victory. Bronny might turn out to be a good college basketball player. I wouldn’t get excited about any possible hearsay that he’s coming to/considering VT, though. There’s plenty other difference makers in the high school ranks that would be just as good if not better for the program. ** Edited by MaroonAvenger at 2/26/2023, 11:32:41 AM

Just checked, sky still isn’t falling

Still believe in the team. Just a hard fought battle, without Cattoor, on the road. Team still learning to play without Cattoor and team still learning to play together with new guys and continue to striving to get better. It’s a long season, and realistically here’s where the team is at — 3 losses Two games were decided by 2 points each One game, on the road, decided in overtime Undefeated at home No blowout losses, team is in every game Camden showed some potential today, for the first time Team played hard with a lot of guys carrying multiple fouls Team played for the first time without Cattoor Give it time. Still lots of hope for another stellar season, guys. Love rooting for this team.

Sean Pedulla Freshman to Sophomore progression

What a jump in production, so far! Reminds me of Erick Green’s leap after his Freshman year. Talent + hard work + more minutes working well for him. Will be interesting to see how he handles the ACC conference gauntlet coming up.

Do not foul Poteat

He’s just going to make the free throws anyway and you’ll still have a foul

Virginia Tech mentioned in new basketball film out now

New Adam Sandler film on Netflix, Hustle. Produced by LeBron. Sandler’s character is married to a character played by Queen Latifah. Latifah name drops Virginia Tech in the film, while talking about a track meet where she met Adam’s character in college. Maybe this is a nod to Tech track legend Queen Harrison? (Probably not…but I can’t pass up an opportunity to namedrop a Hokie legend!) Enjoyable film. Goes down easy. ** Edited by MaroonAvenger at 12/3/2022, 7:28:00 PM

I don't see a travel here

Picks up his dribble, plants feet, spins, feet land in new position - 1st step After his spin, though his feet are staggered, he elevates toward basket - 2nd step

Love that MBB tweets this out on the day he visits

I mean, what a message it sends to a hot shooting recruit on the day he’s on campus. Come play with a program that highly values and knows what to do with one of your best attributes as a basketball player. Go Hokies!

must mean VT ranks #1 on ROI

I value winning the ACC tournament more than winning any spending wars with other schools. Let’s go, Hokies!
