Wasn't excited to get him......

and not upset to see him go. Not saying he could not have helped, just that if recent times have taught us anything the first time to get excited is when they actually suit up for a game. Basketball teams are proving to be one year rentals at best.

Jordan Ivy-Curry re-opened his commitment. Why am I not shocked by this…**
BackInTheBurg • 04/29/24 11:25 AM ET
I guess he figured we’ve sold out
GreenvilleVT • 04/29/24 04:48 PM ET
We must have given him a pretty good offer
NC Hoke • 04/29/24 03:07 PM ET
Best? How about "...game is played for any warm body."**
HokieBoy • 04/29/24 03:36 PM ET
Somebody offered him more money
NC Hoke • 04/29/24 02:04 PM ET

Hope? Yes he did. Reality? Probably not. The NCAA and universities have to

Is it a loss if he never played one minute for us?**

Adam Grant wrote a book called "Give and Take" a number of years ago.

Doing things the wrong way and being rewarded for it...

He's a decommit machine.**

Welcome to BIZZARO WORLD, formerly known as NCAA

A player backing out last minute due to more money elsewhere isn't new
GCHokie34 • 04/29/24 04:45 PM ET
True, but the allowances granted by the NCAA with regard to transfer rules
ancient alien 2018 • 04/29/24 05:05 PM ET
If we wanna go to a one-time transfer rule, I'm all for it...
GCHokie34 • 04/29/24 05:49 PM ET
How about one transfer per year?**
1980VT • 04/29/24 09:35 PM ET
School is different. JMO.
HokieDelNorte • 04/29/24 09:06 PM ET
I think that's what most would say...
GCHokie34 • 04/29/24 09:32 PM ET
Rice would get one (free)
HokieDelNorte • 04/30/24 01:03 AM ET
I'm not talking about Rice's specific case

AbsolutVT03 • 04/29/24 05:53 PM ET
Of course. He cost us considerable loss of important time to find a 2.
NC Hoke • 04/29/24 03:56 PM ET
Am thinking KY or Arkansas. We will find out soon enough.**
HokieBrazil • 04/29/24 03:14 PM ET
If he goes to UK I am going to lose my mind**

Follow the money. **
Midwestguy • 04/29/24 02:38 PM ET
I believe the portal closes for entries May 1.**
Midwestguy • 04/29/24 02:39 PM ET
That’s just to transfer and still be eligible for the coming season.

Probably a dumb question, but when are they truly "committed" these days?**
SCHokie80 • 04/29/24 01:36 PM ET
The portal closes for men's and women's basketball on May 1st**
Hokie4Heisman • 04/29/24 09:20 PM ET
When they enroll in classes, I believe.**
Femoyer Hokie • 04/29/24 02:20 PM ET
Though they can still leave. See, e.g., Rodney Rice**
dj97223 • 04/29/24 05:21 PM ET
Here are the board "takes" when he committed. Commence the flipping opinion
HokieRat • 04/29/24 01:23 PM ET
But... I had already bought his jersey...**
banishedtothelounge • 04/29/24 01:10 PM ET
I won't buy anybody's Jersey/shirt until they are half-way through...

Commitment issues…**
Hokies0725 • 04/29/24 12:05 PM ET
CASH**
TboneParkerVT • 04/29/24 12:29 PM ET
Agreed, still has commitment issues since he’s done this before **
Hokies0725 • 04/29/24 12:42 PM ET
thanks for the memories**

At least he said thanks in his tweet ;)**
johnmcd40 • 04/29/24 11:35 AM ET
This is all the NITs fault (TIC)**
HokieRat • 04/29/24 11:31 AM ET
He’s done this 3 times now in his career, definitely a red flag for him.
jfrance41 • 04/29/24 11:29 AM ET
Sounds like he's visiting this week.**
David CunninghamAdmin • 04/30/24 01:50 PM ET

Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/29/24 11:36 AM ET
So we could lose a Curry and gain a Dell? **

Correct, staff is pursuing**
jfrance41 • 04/29/24 11:38 AM ET
Chances must be slim, at best, on this guy?
catdaddy • 04/29/24 08:45 PM ET
He would be the other 3 that I would want, for sure.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/29/24 11:40 AM ET
He's got two years left and very good stats.
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/29/24 11:46 AM ET
He was 38% last season from three.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/29/24 11:49 AM ET
Hunter locked him down last year, but to be fair to him he had no talent
jfrance41 • 04/29/24 11:53 AM ET
Yep, agreed.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/29/24 11:53 AM ET
He's taller than Ivy-Curry, better shooter and two years left.
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/29/24 11:51 AM ET
Well to me they aren't part of the same plan.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/29/24 11:54 AM ET
You’re correct, I’m saying this might make it more feasible to get him
jfrance41 • 04/29/24 12:00 PM ET
Yep, definitely throws a wrench in CMYs plans, but ultimately may not be
jfrance41 • 04/29/24 11:45 AM ET
Yep. And he also declared for the NBA draft. So he’s testing those waters
