As it stand right now

my best guess would see a 2 big, 3 guard starting lineup. Trent and Latham as the bigs Suffren and Hurst as the guards Wenzel at the point. I don't think Latham and Hurst would have transferred if they were going to be bench players. They also have experience playing major conference basketball. Dimaro makes things interesting. Yes, she's a Freshman, but she has experience in the W league and is in consideration for the Nigerian national team. I can't completely rule her out at the 5. This would push the roster to more of a traditional 3 big, 2 guard lineup, with Hurst dropping from the lineup, dropping to the 6th woman due to her versatility and height. Behind that, we have a glut at guard with Wells, Anderson, and Sears. Add in Trent and Harris-Mott, and I can see the Hokies running 11-deep, with 9 x 4* players in that mix. Goff and Baldassarre have a chance to move into heavy rotation, but I am hesitant at this juncture to include them in the mix. Both have scoring pedigrees, which is never a bad thing.

I don't think "scary young" is apropos

2 Srs with 4360 combined minutes and 154 starts 1 Jr with 587 minutes and 57 games played 1 r-So with 565 minutes and 33 games played 2 So with 492 combined minutes and 48 games played Yeah, it's not last year's roster, but over 6,000 minutes and over 310 games played from 6 players isn't abysmal.

Kitley was also the #33 ranked player in the class.

There were 53 5-star players in the 2019 class. There are 33 in the 2025 class and 14 in 2026

Might be

Abuna Ruop 6-9 C from Norfolk Christian, class of 2026

I'd rather avoid a comparison to a Chinese knock-off T-72

She's from Kentucky, so maybe 66 in honor of USS Kentucky an Iowa class battleship
