Mohhamed Torre Miami player entering his 8 year of eligibility. I guess

his NIL money will be reduced so as not to interfere with his social security benefits.

Back in the day lots of Tech athletes, especially football players

struggled to graduate in 4 years due to being forced to take the minimum amount of credit hours during the season. They were on a quarter system instead of semester basis they currently are. And I’m not talking about academic deficient student/ athletes either. It was just a given for alot of them ( depending on major) that it would take 4+ years to graduate, or some really heavy class loads during their off season, and or summer school. Now I see these kids go to 2 different schools in 2 years and in 2.5 years have graduated and are working on a post graduate degree. Also if you transferred in those days there was always in danger of credits from one school to another not being accepted by the new school. None of those things seem to be a factor anymore. When was the last time you heard of an athlete β€œ flunking out” of school ? That too was a legitimate concern then. It makes one wonder, is it some serious grade inflation, are these people graduating with devalued degrees or heaven forbid are athletes just being given an easier path to a diploma? Although this seems to be prevalent across entire student population. Wasn’t aware that us poverty stricken message board posters were required to fill out a financial statement must less granting you access to that data. Smells of a privacy act violation.

Student , have you ever considered the possibility that 99.9 % of message

board fans don’t have a clue what the AD or OC roles, tasks and responsibilities are and therefore are unqualified and incapable of judging their performance? Or did the dog indeed eat your homework ?

she can play the post at 6’3” but she will

not be a dominant post as that article suggests unless he has elite athleticism, length and an un real vertical. That article was an over the top advertisement. At 6’3” it would be very doubtful that she would be a superior rim protector either.In the picture she looks to have a very slight build that would suggest she would get pushed around and not be physical enough for the post. I know Kileys and Stracks don’t come along everyday but MD has not come close to recruiting and true post so far .

Yea must be old 6’3 is forward size now. Article makes her sound 6’7”

β€œ dominating the post and scoring over opponents” - not unless she’s got a 40” vert

Don’t see it happening- UThug has such a delusional superiority complex

they believe they are way too good to stoop to VTs level even with the brother to brother connection now in place. But who know I could be wrong, I’m not wrong that they have the most insufferable fan base in the world though.

Wow I think you defended your thesis well. I will try to consolidate all

your paralysis thru analysis in one sentence. CJF is currently recruiting more talented players than Tech has recruited in a very long time.

Silver lining to the current status of college sports that I despise is

that with the TP this years near misses can easily be wins in a year or 2 when players frequently become disenchanted.

Plus 1000 !! We’re doomed unless Eienstien has any remaining ( life +

eligibility) because he's the only one who could possibly begin to remotely grasp MY’s system in just one short season. And of course no one stays longer than that at any one school anymore.

Because that is in the average fans job

description right ? Seeing and calling out our deficiencies because the average fan has a wealth of knowledge about what goes on in the daily operations of a multi million dollar athletic department. Please . Who’s your next target ? f

Most did and moved on to WB. Now he’s gone and the next victim has yet to

be tied to the whipping post, but it’s only a matter of time. Their absolute obsession to have someone to blame any and all Hokies shortcomings is never ending.

He’s from a very small school or he would be a 4*. Believe me we need him

as always with O linemen. You should be very excited, he’s a grown man . You are putting way too much stock in subject rankings. ** Edited by uber hokie at 5/26/2026, 8:29:00 PM

I had 2 daughters who played in the same conference (conference Carolinas )

that Emmanuel University competes in. One of them made β€œ little All American β€œ . However that level is a far cry from the ACC. I hope she is the football equivalent of Bhayshul Tuten which is a 1/10,000 long shot, but I have serious doubts.

Taking charges is like blocking a shot, or for men a nasty dunk. It fires

up fans and teammates. It’s not a stat that can be measured per se.Name one other player on team that took more than 2-3 charges all year? Maybe Wensel only other one with enough grit to sacrifice her body. Mackie’s liabilities were more on offense than defense.

Mind set/ ability to play defense ?? Are you kidding me ? Took more charges

than the rest off the team combined. Very hard nosed defender. Her glaring weakness was inability to penetrate and especially finish around the goal.
