It has to be option 2 with a dose of a staff...

.....change. Without the NIL money to draw some talent, it may be tough to attract a quality recruiter. He may feel that he has a hand behind his back without that assistance.

I don't agree with the notion that VT can't be better next year than we are

Jackie VT • 02/28/24 04:01 PM ET
I don’t think it’s necessarily about the quality pf the players
NC Hoke • 02/28/24 03:40 PM ET
Athleticism, athleticism, athleticism. So it is about the Jimmy's & Joe's**
BuffaloTraceHokie • 02/28/24 05:59 PM ET
Okay, which of our players do you consider unathletic,
NC Hoke • 02/28/24 11:15 PM ET
Most of the team, actually.
BuffaloTraceHokie • 02/29/24 04:05 PM ET
You didn’t answer my question.
NC Hoke • 02/29/24 04:29 PM ET
I'm not being smart. And you've now moved the goal post...

King of Hokies • 02/29/24 07:10 AM ET
Appreciate your objective response. Your comments
NC Hoke • 02/29/24 08:00 PM ET
Yeah, there's a reason we dropped off defensively post-Alleyne/Bede/Radford
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/29/24 11:20 AM ET
I could see Radford being the type player CMY might have recruited.
NC Hoke • 02/29/24 11:59 PM ET
Excellent synopsis. Worth the subscription price!**
Femoyer Hokie • 02/29/24 11:32 AM ET
I would say quickness, hops and length
nkhooch • 02/29/24 05:02 AM ET
I’d agree with length with the current roster.

Men's basketball is the only other revenue sport at VT that

Thats for all colleges. Rarely do you see a 3rd sport be revenue producing

Recruiting clarification
VT ChemE 1986 • 02/28/24 02:09 PM ET
MY is below the national average in transfers out...**
GCHokie34 • 02/28/24 05:58 PM ET
Is our target performance somehow relative to the national average? If not,
King of Hokies • 02/28/24 11:09 PM ET
VT is well above average in men's basketball...
GCHokie34 • 02/28/24 11:15 PM ET
Right. So why do you want to compare an aspect of our coach's performance
King of Hokies • 02/28/24 11:54 PM ET
You're of the opinion that 2.4 transfers per year is high?
GCHokie34 • 02/29/24 12:07 AM ET
Thank you for providing relevant data this time**
King of Hokies • 02/29/24 06:47 AM ET
Don't think that number speaks to timing
VT ChemE 1986 • 02/28/24 08:20 PM ET
It happens...
GCHokie34 • 02/29/24 12:16 AM ET
Is that for his entire tenure.....

Yes, and so did Seth and so does CMY.
